Which is noght grounded uppon charite,
For charite ne schedde nevere blod,
So hath the werre as ther no proprite:
For thilke vertu which is seid pite
With charite so ferforth is aqweinted,
That in hire may no fals semblant be peinted.[1969]
Cassodre, whos writinge is auctorized, 330
Seith, wher that pite reigneth, ther is grace,[1970]
Thurgh which the pes hath al his welthe assised,
So that of werre he dredeth no manace.
