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

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

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
