FOOTNOTES: [1] Warton (History of English Poetry, vol. i. p. 118. note, 8vo.) notices a passage in Piers Plowman, which shows how the reigning passion for chivalry infected the ideas and expressions of the writers of this period. The poet is describing the crucifixion, and speaking of the person who pierced our Saviour's side with a spear. This person our author calls _a knight_, and says, that he came forth _with his spear in hand and justed with Jesus_. Afterwards, for doing so base an act as that of wounding a dead body, he is pronounced a disgrace to _knighthood_, and our _champion chevaler chyese knight_ is ordered to yield himself recreant. fol. 88. b. So, too, in the Morte d'Arthur, Joseph of Arimathea is called the gentle knight that took down Jesus from the cross. [2] Warton, vol. ii. p. 86. [3] Barnes's Edward III., p. 564.

And there were all the knights of the Round Table except those that were prisoners, or slain at a recounter, thenne at the high feast evermore they should be fulfilled the hole nombre of an hundred and fifty, for then was the Round Table fully accomplished.
