in_o the_o subject_a whether_o as_o to_o person_n state_n or_o condition_n which_o may_v render_v it_o capable_a of_o friendship_n according_a to_o the_o forementioned_a idea_n now_o i_o say_v what_o

that_o friendship_n be_v a_o benevolence_n that_o be_v mutual_a there_o be_v but_o one_o general_a requisite_a deducible_a from_o this_o which_o be_v that_o all_o the_o other_o be_v find_v in_o both_o
