the_o power_n to_o keep_v a_o friendship_n for_o there_o be_v never_o any_o of_o our_o sense_n that_o can_v constant_o be_v unwearied_a of_o any_o one_o subject_a or_o object_n have_v natural_o a_o

a_o perfect_a friendship_n friendship_n of_o king_n some_o say_v that_o king_n be_v unhappy_a because_o they_o can_v have_v a_o bosom-friend_n for_o there_o must_v be_v some_o equality_n for_o true_a friendship_n and_o a_o prince_n make_v himself_o a_o subject_a or_o his_o subject_n as_o great_a as_o himself_o in_o make_v particular_a friendship_n which_o may_v cause_v danger_n to_o his_o person_n

friendship_n of_o parent_n and_o child_n it_o be_v say_v parent_n and_o child_n can_v have_v friendship_n for_o they_o must_v have_v no_o tie_n of_o nature_n but_o be_v voluntary_a and_o free_a where_o in_o parent_n it_o be_v rather_o a_o self_n love_n or_o self-interest_n than_o a_o clear_a friendship_n where_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o friendship_n but_o proceed_v from_o self-love_n and_o interest_n for_o their_o delight_n be_v in_o their_o friend_n and_o to_o die_v for_o a_o friend_n be_v because_o they_o can_v live_v without_o he_o beside_o say_v they_o there_o be_v a_o bar_n that_o hinder_v the_o friendship_n of_o parent_n and_o child_n which_o be_v the_o duty_n and_o respect_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o child_n towards_o the_o parent_n and_o a_o reservedness_n of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n but_o to_o my_o think_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a reason_n that_o duty_n and_o respect_n shall_v hinder_v friendship_n as_o if_o friendship_n be_v build_v upon_o a_o open_a rudeness_n but_o certain_o true_a love_n which_o be_v that_o which_o make_v dear_a friendship_n take_v more_o pleasure_n to_o be_v command_v and_o to_o obey_v those_o they_o love_v than_o to_o command_v and_o be_v obey_v beside_o respect_n hinder_v not_o the_o disclose_v or_o the_o receive_n into_o the_o mind_n or_o help_v with_o their_o body_n or_o estate_n or_o part_v with_o life_n which_o be_v the_o act_n of_o friendship_n for_o i_o take_v duty_n and_o obedience_n to_o be_v from_o the_o mind_n as_o consent_v to_o their_o desire_n and_o respect_v as_o towards_o the_o body_n by_o a_o humble_a present_v of_o itself_o but_o a_o reservedness_n of_o the_o parent_n to_o the_o child_n be_v rather_o a_o proud_a insult_a and_o love_n of_o authority_n than_o out_o of_o love_n or_o consideration_n for_o their_o good_a or_o to_o keep_v their_o natural_a affection_n for_o it_o must_v be_v a_o very_a ill_a nature_n that_o sweet_a and_o kind_a persuasion_n free_a and_o open_a relation_n seasonable_a and_o secret_a counselling_n willing_a and_o reasonable_a action_n shall_v not_o only_o keep_v the_o natural_a love_n as_o from_o the_o child_n to_o the_o parent_n but_o tie_v a_o perfect_a friendship_n as_o from_o man_n to_o man_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o perfect_a friendship_n except_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n of_o their_o age_n which_o indeed_o a_o child_n and_o a_o parent_n can_v never_o be_v even_o in_o but_o parent_n be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v of_o friendship_n with_o their_o child_n as_o they_o know_v less_o and_o be_v more_o unacquainted_a with_o they_o than_o with_o stranger_n by_o their_o reserve_a formality_n or_o else_o they_o be_v so_o rude_o familiar_a with_o their_o child_n as_o make_v their_o child_n rude_o familiar_a with_o they_o in_o which_o kind_n of_o nature_n and_o humour_n can_v be_v no_o tie_n of_o friendship_n neither_o with_o their_o own_o nor_o stranger_n of_o madness_n in_o general_n there_o be_v more_o that_o run_v mad_a for_o the_o loss_n of_o hope_n than_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o what_o they_o have_v enjoy_v as_o for_o example_n how_o many_o have_v run_v mad_a for_o the_o

example_n of_o the_o first_o but_o few_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o be_v hear_v of_o the_o last_o and_o how_o many_o parent_n have_v run_v mad_a for_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o child_n because_o they_o have_v lose_v the_o hope_n of_o their_o perfection_n or_o excellency_n which_o time_n may_v have_v bring_v forth_o that_o may_v have_v be_v a_o honour_n to_o their_o name_n and_o posterity_n which_o by_o death_n be_v cut_v off_o so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o present_a comfort_n they_o lose_v in_o their_o child_n for_o few_o parent_n make_v their_o child_n their_o only_a or_o chief_a society_n but_o the_o expectation_n of_o the_o future_a be_v lose_v be_v that_o they_o most_o common_o run_v mad_a for_o for_o there_o be_v none_o that_o wish_v not_o themselves_o in_o a_o good_a condition_n and_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o not_o only_o wish_v themselves_o in_o a_o better_a condition_n though_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v but_o hope_v to_o be_v so_o and_o where_o the_o hope_n be_v cut_v off_o and_o the_o desire_v remain_v they_o must_v needs_o grow_v impatient_a and_o impatiency_n grow_v extravagant_a and_o extravagancy_n be_v madness_n but_o how_o seldom_o be_v it_o hear_v that_o child_n run_v mad_a for_o their_o parent_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v little_a hope_n from_o they_o but_o of_o their_o estate_n or_o title_n if_o they_o have_v any_o for_o man_n never_o consider_v so_o much_o what_o be_v past_a as_o what_o be_v to_o come_v unless_o it_o be_v to_o compare_v the_o past_a time_n with_o the_o present_a that_o they_o may_v guess_v at_o the_o future_a so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o hope_v from_o parent_n because_o all_o thing_n be_v pass_v from_o they_o for_o man_n joy_v more_o in_o look_v

though_o they_o be_v sometime_o proud_a of_o their_o forefather_n worthy_a action_n yet_o they_o take_v more_o delight_n in_o the_o hope_n of_o their_o own_o posterity_n and_o when_o man_n grow_v mad_a for_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o estate_n it_o be_v not_o for_o what_o they_o have_v enjoy_v but_o for_o what_o they_o will_v or_o may_v have_v enjoy_v have_v not_o ill_a fortune_n be_v but_o now_o they_o can_v and_o when_o man_n fall_v mad_a through_o despair_n it_o be_v because_o they_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o heaven_n so_o that_o hope_n be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n thought_n and_o the_o
