pleasure_n according_a to_o the_o first_o the_o friendship_n of_o good_a man_n consist_v as_o i_o have_v afore_o mention_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o friendship_n but_o among_o good_a man_n according_a to_o the_o second_o proceed_v a_o familiarity_n of_o daily_a conversion_n and_o that_o be_v between_o merchant_n and_o diverse_a other_o mercenary_a trade_n man_n give_v to_o the_o world_n and_o regard_v profit_n among_o who_o there_o be_v no_o friendship_n for_o as_o cicero_n say_v amicus_fw-la est_fw-la alter_fw-la ego_fw-la that_o be_v i_o esteem_v my_o friend_n as_o myself_o but_o they_o regard_v more_o their_o wealth_n they_o friendship_n which_o they_o think_v may_v procure_v they_o sufficient_a friend_n every_o where_o be_v not_o this_o a_o odious_a thing_n in_o a_o common_a

hereof_o they_o consort_v together_o for_o friendship_n sake_n as_o they_o term_v it_o which_o be_v no_o friendship_n but_o carry_v a_o show_n of_o friendship_n because_o friendship_n only_o be_v

be_v circumspect_a and_o consider_v where_o when_o and_o to_o who_o because_o liberality_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o thing_n bestow_v but_o in_o the_o true_a meaning_n and_o
