lord_n commander_n many_o time_n of_o another_o man_n purse_n precept_n 8._o how_o to_o carry_v a_o man_n self_n towards_o his_o superior_n and_o inferior_n towards_o your_o superior_n be_v humble_a yet_o generous_a with_o your_o equal_n familiar_a yet_o respective_a towards_o your_o inferior_n show_v much_o humility_n with_o some_o familiarity_n as_o to_o bow_v your_o body_n stretch_v forth_o your_o hand_n uncover_v your_o head_n and_o such_o like_a popular_a compliment_n the_o first_o prepare_v way_n to_o advancement_n the_o second_o will_v make_v you_o know_v for_o a_o man_n well_o

they_o be_v easy_o win_v by_o unprofitable_a courtesy_n than_o by_o churlish_a benefit_n yet_o do_v i_o not_o advise_v you_o overmuch_o to_o affect_v or_o neglect_v popularity_n precept_n 9_o how_o far_o to_o disclose_v a_o man_n secret_n trust_v no_o man_n with_o your_o credit_n or_o estate_n for_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a folly_n for_o a_o man_n to_o enthral_v himself_o further_o to_o his_o friend_n than_o that_o he_o need_v not_o fear_v he_o be_v his_o enemy_n precept_n 10._o be_v not_o scurrilous_a in_o conversation_n nor_o stoical_a in_o your_o wit_n for_o the_o one_o make_v you_o unwelcome_a to_o all_o company_n as_o the_o other_o pull_v quarrel_n on_o your_o head_n and_o make_v you_o hate_v of_o your_o best_a friend_n jest_n when_o they_o do_v savour_n of_o too_o much_o truth_n leave_v a_o bitterness_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o those_o that_o be_v touch_v and_o although_o i_o have_v already_o point_v at_o these_o inclusive_a yet_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o leave_v it_o to_o you_o as_o a_o caution_n because_o i_o have_v see_v many_o so_o prone_a to_o quip_n and_o gird_n as_o they_o have_v rather_o lose_v their_o friend_n than_o their_o jest_n and_o if_o by_o chance_n their_o boil_a brain_n yield_v a_o quaint_a scoff_n they_o will_v travel_v to_o be_v deliver_v of_o it_o as_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n but_o i_o think_v those_o nimble_a apprehension_n be_v but_o the_o froth_n of_o the_o wit_n a_o addition_n of_o some_o short_a precept_n and_o sentence_n not_o impertinent_a to_o the_o former_a go_v as_o thou_o will_v be_v meet_v sit_v as_o thou_o will_v be_v find_v wear_v thy_o apparel_n in_o a_o careless_a yet_o a_o decent_a seem_n for_o affectednesse_n in_o any_o thing_n be_v commendable_a in_o nothing_o and_o endeavour_v to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o vainglory_n that_o thou_o strive_v in_o any_o thing_n rather_o to_o be_v in_o substance_n without_o show_n then_o in_o show_n without_o substance_n 2_o strive_v not_o to_o enrich_v thyself_o by_o oppression_n usury_n or_o other_o unlawful_a gain_n for_o if_o a_o little_a evil_n get_v shall_v not_o only_o melt_v away_o itself_o like_o dew_n against_o the_o sun_n but_o shall_v likewise_o consume_v with_o itself_o that_o which_o be_v more_o lawful_a how_o then_o shall_v it_o haste_v without_o stay_n when_o all_o the_o whole_a lump_n be_v corrupt_v sure_o if_o experience_n fail_v not_o with_o a_o swift_a speed_n than_o either_o by_o the_o prodigal_a hand_n of_o a_o three_o or_o second_o heir_n and_o for_o such_o a_o one_o that_o ungodly_a die_v rich_a well_o he_o may_v

thy_o labour_n thou_o accomplish_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a the_o labour_n pass_v but_o the_o good_a remain_v to_o thy_o comfort_n as_o if_o by_o the_o contrary_a for_o thy_o pleasure_n thou_o shall_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a the_o pleasure_n pass_v but_o the_o evil_n remain_v to_o thy_o torment_n and_o withal_o because_o it_o be_v a_o less_o pain_n to_o be_v studious_a in_o thy_o youth_n than_o a_o grief_n to_o be_v ignorant_a in_o thy_o age_n corrupt_a company_n be_v more_o infectious_a than_o corrupt_a air_n therefore_o be_v advise_v in_o thy_o choice_n for_o that_o

neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a consort_n with_o those_o that_o be_v evil_a they_o be_v incorporate_v to_o their_o vice_n if_o the_o good_a company_n with_o the_o good_a both_o be_v make_v the_o

physician_n say_v that_o we_o at_o best_o enjoy_v but_o a_o neutrality_n and_o can_v there_o be_v worse_a sickness_n than_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v never_o well_o nor_o can_v be_v so_o 10_o the_o
