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.
