Iff a gentleman be by an other taken prisonner
in Combatt, sholde afterwardes denie him self to be van:
quished, it is resolued that his taker is therby wrongfullie
denied his rights & the prisonner breakinge his faith
committeth infidelitie, as in the seconde booke hath bene de:
clared, wherfore the gent victorious maye againe compell
him to combatt & pve that he was vanquished. In suche
cases the Notarye of the Iudge ought to make publique
instruments of the victorie, & is in deede bounde to kepe
them to testifie the proceedinge of all combatts, and what
channces in them hapened, to thende that the victorious maye
have proofe of his victorie either by therby or by the
lres Patents of the Iudge.
Iff two men at Armes do agre to ronne
a certeine nomber of courses, or fighte
a certeine nomber of blowes, wth their
mases or swordes, whether they maye
ronne or fighte more then the composition.
Ca. 21.
In auntient time men at armes did vse two sorts
of devises, or (as they called them) Emprease, the one
was when they entred into combat for life, the other
when they fought for triumphe & triall of virtue. ffor in
combat for life on horsback or foote, it is lawfull to vse, anye
subtletie or aduanntage, because the Combat is not ended
wthout deathe, denyall or vnsayenge, But in combat
for honnor only virtue & triumphe. The fighters maye
havinge perfourmed the nomber of Courses or strokes
leave at their pleasr, either wth or wthout advanntage
and he that hathe most manfullie & couragiouslie perfor:
med his parte ought to enioye moste honnor & glorie.
