Cresseide, of whom a man shulde be ware to aqweynt hym, is veyne glori, with the which the good sperite shuld not aqwaynte hym, but fle it onto his power, for it is to lyghte and commyth to sodenly. And Seynt Austyn opon the Sauter seith that he the which hath wele lerned and asayed by experiens to ouergoo degrees of vices, he is coume to the knowlyge that the synne of veyne glory is holy or most specyaly to eschwe of perfyȝte men, ffor emong all othir synnes it is hardest to ouercom. Therefor the apostil Seynt Poule seith, [“Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur”].[507] LXXXV. When thou hast kylled Patroclus, Ware of Achilles, I counsell þe thus, Yf thou loue me, for thei be all on, [Sidenote: f. 64.] There goods betweyne theym be comon. Patroclus and Achilles were felawes togedir and ryght dere freendis, so that there were neuer to[508] brethere loued better togedir, and thei and here goodes were comon as all o thyng. And because that Hector slew Patroclus in batayle Achilles had grete hate to Hector, and fro theyns forthe swore his dethe. But because he doutyd meche his grete streynght, he lefte neuer to wayte how he myght fynde hym discouered to betray hym. Therfor Othea seide to Hector, as by profecye of that which was for to come, that, when he hadde sleyne Patroclus, it were nede for hym to be ware of Achilles. That is to vnderstond þat euery man the which hath slayne or mysdoon to anothir mannys trwe freen, his[509] felawe will take vengance if he may. Therefor Magdare[510] seith, “In what [place] that euer thou be wyth thy ennemye, holde hym euer in suspecte, thow[511] that thow be myghtyer than he.” Where it is seide that, when thow hast sleyne Patroclus thou shulde be ware of Achilles, we may vnderstond that, yf the goode speryte suffir hym by the feend to bowe to synne, he howte[512] to dowte euerlastyng dethe. And Solyn seith,[513] “This present lyue is but a knyghthode an[d] in tokyn theroff this present lyf is called werre in deference of that aboue, the which is called victorius, for it hath euer of enemyes.” To this purpose the apostil Seynt Poule seith, [“Induite vos armaturam Dei, ut possitis stare adversus insidias diaboli.”][514] LXXXVI. Be ware thou voide note fro the Echo, Ne hir[515] petous complayntes also; Susteyne all hir wille, yif it may be, For thou wote not what may com to the.
