2707. From James, i. 4:--'Patientia autem opus perfectum habet.' 2713. _Corage_, desire, inclination; cf. E. 1254. 2715. The Fr. text is fuller: 'et si ie fais un grant exces, car on dit que exces n'est corrige que par exces, c'est a dire que oultrage ne se corrige fors que par oultrage.'--Mr. Perhaps part of the clause has been accidentally omitted, owing to repetition of 'exces.' 2718. 'Quid enim discrepat a peccante, qui se per excessum nititur uindicare?'--Cassiodorus, Variarum lib. i. epist. 30. 2721. Lat. text:--'ait enim Seneca, Nunquam scelus scelere uindicandum.' Not from Seneca; Sundby refers us to Martinus Dumiensis, De Moribus, S. 139. 2723. _Withouten intervalle ... delay_; the Fr. text merely has 'sans intervalle.' Chaucer explains the word _intervalle_. 2729. 'Qui impatiens est sustinebit damnum'; Prov. xix. 19. 2730. _Of that that_, in a matter that. [219] 2731. Lat. text (p. 95):--'Culpa est immiscere se rei ad se non pertinenti.' Sundby refers us to the Digesta, l. xvii. 36. 2732. From Prov. xxvi. 17. 2733. _Outherwhyle_, sometimes, occasionally; cf. 2857. So in Ch. tr. of Boethius, bk. iii. pr. 12. 119 (vol. ii. p. 89); P. Plowman, C. vi. 50, vii. 160, xxii. 103, &c. 2740. From Ecclesiastes, x. 19:--'pecuniae oboediunt omnia.' 2741. All the copies have _power_; but, as Mätzner remarks, we should read _poverte_; the Fr. text has _povrete_. 2743. _Richesses ben goode_; the Lat. text here quotes 1 Tim. iv. 4. 2744. 'Homo sine pecunia est quasi corpus sine anima' is written on a fly-leaf of a MS.; see my Pref. to P. Plowman, C-text, p. xx. 2746. All the MSS. have _Pamphilles_ instead of _Pamphilus_. The allusion is to Pamphilus Maurilianus, who wrote a poem, well-known in the fourteenth century, entitled _Liber de Amore_, which is extant in MSS. (e.g. in MS. Bodley 3703) and has been frequently printed. Tyrwhitt cites the lines here alluded to from the Bodley MS. 'Dummodo sit diues cuiusdam nata bubulci, Eligit e mille, quem libet, illa uirum.' Sundby quotes the same (with _ipsa_ for _illa_) from the Paris edition of 1510, fol. a iiii, recto. Chaucer again refers to Pamphilus in F. 1110, on which see the note. 2748. This quotation is not in the Latin text, and is certainly not from Pamphilus; but closely follows Ovid's lines in his Tristia, i. 9. 5:-- 'Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos; Tempora si fuerint nubila, solus eris.' See notes to B. 120 and B. 3436. 2751. Neither is this from Pamphilus, but from some author quoted by Petrus Alfonsi, Discip. Cler. vi. 4, who says:--'ait quidam uersificator, Clarificant [_al._ Glorificant] gazae priuatos nobilitate.' 2752. We know, from the Lat. text, that there is here an allusion to Horace, Epist. i. 6. 37:-- 'Et genus et formam regina pecunia donat.'
