Timidi nun{quam} statuerūt trophęū.
Cowardes yet neuer wanne a fylde, or neuer had ye victorie. In olde tyme they that had gotten ye victorie in batel were wonte to e∣recte and set vp some great stone,
pyller or other thyng for a sygne of victorie, which marke they cal∣led Trophaeum. Nowe such as be cowardes and which cast manye perylles and doubtes, shall neuer come to this glorie, forasmoch as such excedyng renowne and glo∣rie, can not happen without great perylles and daungers. And as it is to be thought of the euentes and chaunces in warres, so it is of al other valyaunte and hardye enterpryses.
