Francesca's second law of love echoes a dictum which the cult of courtly love characteristically had taken over from Christian doctrine.

See I Ioan. Apos. 4:19: "Nos ergo diligamus Deum, quoniam Deus prior dilexit nos." ("Let us therefore love, because God first loved us.")

Thus Fra Giordano da Rivalto sermonizes (Prediche XLV, 1831 edn., vol. II, p. 78): "Non è nullo che, sentendosi che sia amato da alcuno, ch'egli non sia tratto ad amar lui incontanente." ("There is no one who, feeling himself loved, will not immediately feel drawn to love in return.")


See also Andreas Capellanus, De amore II, 8 (p. 311): "Amor nil posset amori denegare." ("Love can deny nothing to love.")
