the_o most_o part_n a_o kind_n of_o reproof_n rather_o than_o sign_n of_o friendship_n to_o concern_v one self_o in_o other_o affair_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o not_o these_o be_v the_o rule_n whereby_o cicero_n govern_v himself_o with_o his_o friend_n but_o there_o be_v but_o very_o few_o that_o be_v so_o virtuous_a as_o he_o be_v as_o the_o friendship_n of_o atticus_n be_v artificial_a crafty_a and_o suit_v and_o adapt_v to_o the_o commerce_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o of_o lucceius_n be_v pure_a and_o sincere_a and_o altogether_o unfit_a for_o the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o strange_a therefore_o that_o atticus_n his_o humour_n be_v more_o take_v and_o oftentimes_o procure_v he_o a_o applause_n that_o he_o do_v not_o real_o deserve_v for_o the_o world_n do_v usual_o judge_v of_o affair_n by_o the_o person_n instead_o of_o judge_v by_o the_o thing_n themselves_o for_o it_o require_v some_o pain_n to_o examine_v a_o business_n and_o it_o be_v a_o trouble_n which_o

moreover_o when_o once_o one_o be_v settle_v in_o a_o fancy_n one_o natural_o shun_v know_v what_o may_v change_v our_o opinion_n because_o man_n do_v care_v to_o know_v that_o they_o have_v be_v deceive_v there_o be_v therefore_o no_o cause_n to_o wonder_v why_o cicero_n say_v that_o whoever_o it_o be_v that_o be_v in_o the_o right_n either_o atticus_n or_o lucceius_n their_o contest_v will_v only_o prove_v prejudicial_a to_o lucceius_n in_o the_o world_n esteem_n although_o cicero_n write_v so_o plain_o to_o atticus_n himself_o in_o suppose_v he_o may_v be_v in_o the_o wrong_n to_o atticus_n i_o say_v who_o always_o boast_v to_o be_v in_o the_o right_n i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o know_v he_o as_o i_o do_v this_o supposition_n touch_v he_o to_o the_o quick_a though_o perhaps_o he_o be_v glad_a at_o the_o heart_n that_o cicero_n own_a as_o he_o do_v by_o this_o discourse_n that_o his_o reputation_n be_v settle_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n that_o it_o may_v be_v support_v even_o without_o reason_n against_o a_o man_n of_o that_o worth_n lucceius_n be_v of_o and_o in_o all_o likelihood_n it_o be_v to_o give_v he_o this_o secret_a pleasure_n that_o cicero_n who_o understand_v he_o very_o well_o write_v to_o he_o after_o this_o manner_n yet_o i_o have_v one_o request_n more_o to_o make_v to_o you_o reply_v i_o see_v caesarion_n silent_a it_o be_v to_o know_v if_o this_o grudge_n last_v always_o it_o be_v not_o know_v say_v he_o how_o they_o be_v reconcile_v but_o it_o appear_v by_o cicero_n letter_n that_o they_o visit_v each_o other_o familiar_o twelve_o

that_o give_v the_o offence_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o he_o that_o receive_v it_o under_o the_o specious_a pretence_n of_o make_v peace_n nevertheless_o i_o can_v tell_v but_o the_o open_a enmity_n of_o atticus_n have_v be_v less_o hurtful_a to_o lucceius_n than_o their_o reconciliation_n for_o atticus_n never_o act_v but_o through_o respect_n of_o his_o own_o private_a interest_n and_o will_v never_o have_v be_v so_o desirous_a of_o reconciliation_n have_v he_o not_o believe_v that_o lucceius_n his_o enmity_n will_v have_v be_v to_o his_o disadvantage_n not_o but_o that_o his_o also_o may_v have_v be_v hurtful_a to_o lucceius_n but_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n to_o be_v make_v that_o their_o accommodation_n do_v absolute_o remove_v the_o disadvantage_n which_o atticus_n may_v receive_v by_o this_o enmity_n because_o lucceius_n can_v not_o be_v reconcile_v but_o with_o a_o true_o good_a intent_n whereas_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n to_o think_v that_o atticus_n will_v not_o be_v any_o true_a to_o he_o after_o reconciliation_n than_o he_o be_v before_o their_o rapture_n especial_o be_v nettle_v by_o the_o long_a refusal_n lucceius_n make_v of_o be_v accommodate_v and_o by_o the_o secret_a reproach_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n wherewith_o the_o most_o vicious_a person_n do_v they_o what_o they_o can_v to_o suppress_v they_o be_v as_o often_o torment_v as_o
