It is all one to sey unkinde,
As thing whiche doone is againe kinde,
For it with kinde never stoode
A man to yelde evill for goode.
Gower, Confessio Amantis, b. v.
Whar-for ilk man, bathe lered and lewed,
Suld thinke on that love that He man shewed,
And love Hym and thank Hym als he can,
And elles es he an unkynd man.
Richard Rolle de Hampole, Pricke of Conscience, 117.
