shall_v not_o seem_v high_o praiseworthy_a unless_o we_o manifest_v our_o desire_n by_o our_o action_n wherefore_o riches_n be_v useful_a for_o many_o thing_n for_o we_o may_v give_v to_o every_o

of_o those_o to_o who_o we_o have_v be_v liberal_a for_o parent_n be_v remark_v and_o love_v in_o their_o child_n and_o no_o duty_n shall_v seem_v more_o honourable_a than_o gratitude_n wherein_o

shall_v so_o high_o value_v riches_n which_o although_o we_o ourselves_o have_v little_a need_n of_o yet_o the_o most_o honourable_a use_n thereof_o most_o large_o extend_v to_o our_o friend_n and_o

have_v determine_v of_o yourself_o indeed_o the_o almost_o incredible_a riches_n of_o darius_n scarce_o suffice_v alexander_n liberal_o to_o relieve_v their_o fortune_n who_o worth_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o this_o will_v be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o your_o child_n that_o which_o shall_v be_v esteem_v most_o noble_a generous_a young_a man_n shall_v be_v instruct_v and_o teach_v excellent_a

since_o it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v be_v diligent_o careful_a of_o our_o wealth_n lest_o we_o be_v judge_v and_o think_v by_o they_o who_o envy_v we_o to_o have_v ill_o provide_v for_o our_o profit_n

most_o consult_v his_o own_o interest_n not_o who_o accumulate_v the_o most_o to_o but_o who_o make_v the_o best_a provision_n for_o his_o family_n concern_v moreover_o as_o the_o physician_n assert_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o perfect_a health_n that_o moisture_n be_v disperse_v through_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n so_o we_o instruct_v they_o who_o marry_v that_o they_o shall_v

from_o their_o infancy_n be_v so_o incline_v and_o instruct_v to_o a_o vain_a hope_n of_o lucre_n that_o they_o will_v omit_v nothing_o which_o they_o can_v endeavour_v or_o perform_v by_o labour_n and_o peril_n that_o they_o think_v can_v contribute_v to_o this_o their_o servile_a avarice_n wherefore_o i_o resolve_v not_o to_o incite_v nor_o inflame_v the_o youth_n of_o our_o age_n high_o to_o

their_o neighbour_n and_o to_o passenger_n they_o be_v also_o like_a to_o unskilful_a but_o rich_a barber_n to_o who_o young_a man_n never_o go_v but_o to_o be_v trim_v neither_o be_v their_o ivory_n
