It semethe not impertinent to make mention that whereas two gentlemen havinge obteyned place for combatt of somme prince doe determine to finghte clerelye disarmed with swordes onlye and therewith to showe the nobylitie of their mindes in the defence of reason and lives. And beinge thus prepared like dragons appearinge at day appointed the prince forbiddeth them to fighte, supposinge this manner of doinge more meete for butchers and suce lyke, men of base condition then for noble and couragious gentlemen. The opinion of the prince was greatlie commended in not sufferinge them to proceede in fight accordinge to their determination unles theye doe appear in somme parte armed and furnished with weapon meete for th' exercise of a soldier, for it is not the parte of a gentleman to be unfurnished all kinde of armes meete for the exercyse of the warre, which all good soldiers were wonte ever to have readie of purpose to practize in feilde their valiannt bodies in feates of armes and therby to declare their force and defend their righte. In the law of Lombardie it is declared that gentry ought not to enter into combatt with staves nor stones, riservato quando fussino gli testimonij contrarij. For then they ought to fight with staves and sheildes in the triall of truthe. There happened to come into Italie two gentlemen stranngers of purpose to fight with swordes and daggers disarmed who havinge obteyned libertie of feilde elected their judge to whome repaired diuers other gentry prayenge him nott to permitt so great a crueltie that the one sholde in this sorte sleae the other. At the firste the prince revoked the feilde and caused concored betwext the gent to be made by the Judge with certein wordes of excuse on the parte of the defender, which done they retorned into their contrie, where beinge arrived, they fall againe into a newe quarrel, wheter the excuse made before were a yeldinge or unsayeinge or not.
