Chivalry: Nine vertues of Chivalrie

John Ferne's 1586 Glory of Generositie (part of The Blazon of Gentrie) gives the following 'Nine vertues of Chivalrie'.

Torq. I was never daintie of my cunning : of these nine vertues, foure of them beene called spirituall, and five temporall, the foure vertues spirituall be these.

1  He shall honor his father and his mother.
2  He shall not oppresse the poore.
3  He shall shew mercie where mercie is due.
4  He shall fight for the defence of the sacrifice of the great God of heaven.

Now follow the five vertues temporall.

1  He shall not turne his backe to his enemie, with intent to flie.
2  He shall truly hold his promise to his friend, as to his foe.
3  He shall be free of his hospitallitie.
4  He shall defend maidens right.
5  He shall uphold the cause of the widow.
