that_o we_o request_v at_o our_o friend_n hand_n those_o thing_n that_o be_v honest_a and_o that_o we_o do_v for_o our_o friend_n sake_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v reasonnable_a and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o pinch_v courtesy_n in_o stay_v till_o we_o be_v reque_v but_o let_v we_o ever_o have_v a_o earnest_n good_a will_n to_o pleasure_v they_o let_v all_o delay_n be_v set_v apart_o and_o let_v we_o be_v glad_a in_o deed_n free_o to_o give_v our_o friend_n good_a counsel_n other_o let_v the_o authority_n of_o friend_n give_v sound_a counsel_n bear_v great_a sway_n and_o force_v in_o friendship_n and_o let_v the_o same_o be_v use_v to_o warn_v one_o another_o not_o only_o plain_o but_o if_o occasion_n so_o serve_v sharp_o and_o let_v such_o authority_n so_o geeven_v be_v thorough_o obey_v as_o for_o those_o good_a fellow_n who_o as_o i_o hear_v say_v be_v account_v jolly_a wiseman_n in_o greece_n i_o think_v they_o delight_v in_o some_o uncouth_a wonder_n epicure_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o whereupon_o they_o do_v not_o deskant_o with_o their_o quiddity_n as_o part_o that_o we_o shall_v eschew_v friendship_n with_o too_o many_o lest_o one_o man_n shall_v be_v drive_v to_o be_v careful_a formanye_n &_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v full_o enough_o to_o do_v to_o care_v for_o his_o own_o matter_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a trouble_n to_o be_v overmuch_o encumber_v with_o other_o man_n deal_n &_o that_o it_o be_v a_o jolly_a matter_n to_o have_v that_o reynes_n of_o friendship_n at_o will_n either_o to_o pluck_v sâ—reit_n when_o a_o man_n be_v dispose_v or_o to_o let_v go_v at_o large_a at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o that_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o happy_a life_n be_v quietness_n which_o the_o mind_n can_v enjoy_v if_o one_o shall_v bear_v all_o that_o burden_n and_o as_o it_o be_v travail_n with_o child_n for_o many_o another_o sort_n they_o say_v there_o be_v which_o hold_v a_o more_o beastly_a opinion_n than_o these_o above_o as_o i_o brief_o note_v a_o little_a before_o affirm_v that_o friendship_n ought_v to_o be_v desire_v for_o a_o stay_n and_o a_o help_n to_o be_v have_v thereby_o not_o for_o any_o goodwill_n or_o hearty_a love_n therefore_o by_o this_o reckon_v as_o every_o one_o have_v of_o himself_o small_a stay_n &_o ability_n so_o shall_v he_o most_o seek_v for_o friendship_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o happen_v that_o silly_v woman_n seek_v the_o aid_n of_o friendship_n more_o than_o man_n and_o the_o needy_a more_o than_o the_o wealthy_a and_o the_o miserable_a distress_a more_o than_o they_o that_o be_v account_v fortunate_a oh_o pass_v brave_a wisdom_n for_o they_o seem_v to_o take_v the_o sun_n out_o of_o the_o world_n which_o will_v take_v friendship_n from_o among_o we_o then_o the_o which_o we_o have_v nothing_o world_n either_o better_a or_o pleasant_n by_o the_o immortal_a god_n give_v unto_o us._n for_o what_o manner_n of_o quietness_n be_v this_o forsooth_o to_o see_v to_o very_o pleasant_a but_o in_o deed_n in_o many_o respect_n to_o be_v reject_v for_o it_o stand_v not_o with_o reason_n either_o not_o to_o take_v in_o hand_n or_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n to_o leave_v of_o any_o honest_a cause_n or_o good_a deed_n because_o thou_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v but_o if_o we_o refuse_v care_n we_o must_v then_o refuse_v virtue_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n with_o some_o care_n despise_v and_o hate_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o as_o for_o example_n goodness_n must_v hate_v euilnesse_n temperance_n riot_n fortitude_n cowardice_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v see_v the_o just_a great_o grieve_v at_o matter_n unjust_a the_o stout_a at_o the_o weak_a the_o modest_a liver_n with_o prank_n ungracious_a this_o therefore_o be_v the_o property_n of_o mind_n a_o well_o stay_v mind_n to_o rejoice_v at_o good_a thing_n &_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o the_o contrary_n wherefore_o if_o grief_n of_o mind_n be_v incident_a to_o a_o wiseman_n as_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v except_o we_o think_v that_o humanity_n be_v clean_o dislodge_v out_o of_o his_o mind_n what_o cause_n be_v there_o why_o we_o shall_v utter_o take_v away_o friendship_n from_o the_o life_n of_o man_n because_o we_o will_v take_v no_o pain_n or_o trouble_v about_o it_o for_o take_v away_o the_o stone_n motion_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o tell_v i_o what_o difference_n there_o be_v i_o will_v not_o say_v between_o a_o beast_n and_o a_o man_n but_o even_o between_o a_o man_n and_o a_o stone_n or_o a_o log_n or_o any_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n neither_o be_v they_o to_o be_v geeven_v ear_n unto_o which_o hold_v opinion_n that_o virtue_n be_v hard_a &_o as_o it_o be_v pronlike_a which_o sure_o be_v in_o many_o thing_n else_o but_o especial_o in_o friendship_n tender_a &_o tractable_a in_o so_o much_o that_o at_o the_o weal_n of_o his_o friend_n it_o spread_v itself_o abroad_o and_o at_o his_o mishap_n shrink_v in_o again_o wherefore_o this_o same_o trouble_n which_o must_v oftentimes_o be_v abide_v for_o our_o friend_n be_v not_o of_o such_o force_n that_o it_o shall_v quite_o take_v away_o friendship_n from_o among_o man_n no_o more_o than_o virtue_n ought_v to_o be_v reject_v because_o it_o bring_v sundry_a care_n and_o grievance_n see_v therefore_o that_o virtue_n cause_v friendship_n as_o i_o afore_o have_v declare_v if_o any_o token_n or_o signification_n of_o virtue_n appear_v whereunto_o a_o mind_n senulable_o dispose_v may_v apply_v &_o join_v itself_o where_o this_o thing_n happen_v there_o say_v i_o needs_o must_v friendship_n grow_v for_o what_o be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o be_v delight_v with_o many_o vain_a thing_n as_o honor._n glory_n house_n apparel_n bravery_n and_o deck_v of_o the_o body_n and_o not_o to_o be_v exceed_o delight_n delight_v with_o a_o mind_n endue_v with_o virtue_n such_o a_o one_o as_o either_o can_v love_v or_o as_o i_o may_v say_v afford_v love_n for_o love_n again_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o delectable_a then_o be_v the_o requital_n of_o good_a will_n nothing_o more_o pleasant_a than_o be_v the_o mutual_a entrecourse_n of_o friendliness_n and_o courtesy_n and_o if_o we_o add_v this_o unto_o it_o which_o may_v very_o will_n be_v add_v courtesy_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o so_o great_o allure_v &_o draw_v any_o thing_n unto_o it_o as_o the_o likeness_n of_o condition_n do_v unto_o friendship_n then_o sure_o must_v this_o be_v needs_o grant_v true_a that_o friendship_n goodman_n do_v love_v they_o which_o he_o good_a &_o haunt_v together_o in_o company_n as_o man_n near_o lie_v join_v together_o by_o kindred_n &_o nature_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o desirous_a nothing_o be_v more_o eager_a &_o ravenous_a of_o his_o like_a than_o nature_n nature_n wherefore_o this_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v a_o other_o plain_a case_n fannius_n and_o scaevola_n that_o it_o can_v choose_v but_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v among_o good_a man_n one_o towards_o a_o other_o a_o friendly_a and_o hearty_a well_o meaning_n
