our_o part_n to_o give_v place_n unto_o they_o for_o all_o this_o can_v be_v better_a employ_v then_o in_o purchase_v of_o true_a friend_n on_o the_o contrary_a side_n there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a reason_n which_o may_v excuse_v we_o from_o leave_v their_o friendship_n and_o amity_n and_o that_o be_v when_o they_o abandon_v reason_n and_o philosophy_n which_o join_v and_o combine_v we_o together_o and_o yet_o this_o must_v be_v do_v very_o wary_o for_o we_o may_v not_o be_v at_o plain_a enmity_n with_o they_o for_o all_o this_o we_o must_v rather_o unrip_v then_o rend_v their_o friendship_n from_o we_o and_o seek_v out_o all_o reasonable_a mean_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o bring_v they_o back_o again_o unto_o their_o duty_n without_o blame_v their_o action_n or_o check_v their_o opinio_n never_o fight_v with_o they_o unless_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o disputation_n and_o discourse_n which_o be_v the_o sacred_a weapon_n of_o true_a friendship_n but_o though_o we_o lose_v all_o hope_n of_o prevail_a with_o they_o this_o way_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o become_v their_o open_a and_o profess_v enemy_n for_o though_o a_o good_a man_n leave_v his_o friend_n when_o they_o leave_v off_o to_o be_v virtuous_a yet_o not_o withstand_v so_o it_o be_v that_o in_o forsake_v that_o friendship_n and_o familiarity_n which_o have_v be_v in_o former_a time_n between_o they_o he_o retain_v that_o common_a affection_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v among_o man_n which_o bind_v they_o to_o wish_v well_o unto_o those_o which_o have_v not_o well_o deserve_v at_o their_o hand_n tell_v they_o that_o this_o be_v to_o imitate_v god_n which_o as_o he_o love_v the_o good_a so_o he_o do_v not_o hate_v the_o bad_a and_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o common_a say_n that_o a_o good_a man_n have_v no_o enemy_n at_o all_o because_o he_o hate_v no_o body_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o degree_n of_o affection_n which_o be_v between_o man_n and_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v without_o he_o but_o because_o it_o come_v so_o to_o pass_v many_o time_n that_o they_o do_v draw_v we_o unto_o diverse_a end_n and_o so_o hold_v we_o suspend_v in_o doubtfulness_n and_o incertainty_n therefore_o we_o must_v establish_v a_o rule_n unto_o ourselves_o of_o prefer_v the_o former_a duty_n before_o the_o latter_a we_o ought_v to_o make_v great_a account_n of_o a_o oath_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v better_o break_v then_o keep_v if_o by_o keep_v of_o it_o we_o offend_v god_n we_o must_v of_o force_n high_o reverence_v our_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o yet_o if_o their_o will_n do_v contradict_v right_a reason_n which_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o to_o govern_v we_o we_o must_v rather_o forsake_v they_o then_o forsake_v god_n and_o reason_n our_o kinsfolk_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v dear_a unto_o we_o but_o yet_o if_o they_o seek_v to_o annoy_v and_o molest_v father_n or_o mother_n we_o may_v lawful_o descent_n from_o they_o friend_n may_v prevail_v much_o with_o a_o

be_v further_o off_o from_o we_o then_o to_o they_o which_o be_v near_a but_o common_o it_o be_v in_o a_o matter_n of_o no_o great_a weight_n when_o civil_a society_n because_o of_o the_o common_a
