this_o friendship_n and_o social_a relation_n be_v not_o equal_a and_o there_o be_v too_o much_o authority_n on_o one_o side_n and_o too_o much_o fear_n on_o the_o other_o to_o make_v equal_a

and_o therefore_o another_o kind_n of_o friendship_n than_o we_o mean_v in_o our_o inquiry_n so_o they_o be_v such_o a_o duty_n which_o no_o other_o friendship_n can_v annul_v because_o their_o

the_o duty_n and_o love_n to_o parent_n must_v not_o yield_v to_o religion_n much_o less_o to_o any_o new_a friendship_n and_o our_o parent_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o corban_n and_o be_v

to_o the_o duty_n i_o owe_v there_o to_o pay_v all_o the_o dearness_n which_o be_v due_a here_o and_o to_o friend_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n due_a which_o the_o other_o can_v challenge_v i_o mean_v my_o secret_n and_o my_o equal_a conversation_n and_o the_o pleasure_n and_o interest_n of_o these_o and_o the_o consequent_n of_o all_o next_o to_o this_o be_v the_o society_n and_o dearness_n of_o brother_n and_o sister_n which_o usual_o be_v very_o great_a among_o worthy_a person_n but_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v what_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o it_o be_v but_o very_o little_a there_o be_v very_o often_o a_o likeness_n of_o natural_a temper_n and_o there_o be_v a_o social_a life_n under_o the_o same_o roof_n and_o they_o be_v command_v to_o love_v one_o another_o and_o they_o be_v

pass_v not_o into_o noble_a friendship_n upon_o the_o stock_n of_o that_o relation_n they_o have_v fair_a disposition_n and_o advantage_n and_o be_v more_o easy_a and_o ready_a to_o ferment_n into_o the_o great_a dearness_n if_o all_o thing_n else_o be_v answerable_a nature_n dispose_v they_o well_o towards_o it_o but_o in_o this_o inquiry_n if_o we_o ask_v what_o duty_n be_v pass_v upon_o a_o

but_o very_o little_a and_o friendship_n less_o and_o this_o we_o see_v apparent_o in_o those_o brother_n who_o live_v asunder_o and_o contract_v new_a relation_n and_o dwell_v in_o other_o society_n there_o be_v no_o love_n no_o friendship_n without_o the_o intercourse_n of_o conversation_n friendship_n indeed_o may_v last_v long_o than_o our_o abode_n together_o but_o they_o be_v first_o
