if_o you_o take_v away_o the_o movynge_n and_o mode_n of_o the_o mind_n stoike_n neither_o be_v these_o to_o be_v h●rd_a that_o will_v needs_o have_v virtue_n to_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n &_o as_o

of_o friendship_n but_o this_o kind_n of_o goodness_n also_o shall_v appear_v toward_o the_o common_a sort_n virtue_n for_o virtue_n be_v not_o chorlishe_a nor_o empty_a hand_a nor_o yet_o lofty_a

a_o pleasure_n when_o of_o good_a will_n and_o love_v it_o procee_v and_o it_o be_v so_o beyond_o reason_n that_o friendship_n shall_v be_v seek_v for_o necessity_n see_v that_o those_o which_o be_v

than_o be_v it_o well_o perceyve_v how_o naked_a they_o be_v of_o friend_n which_o thing_n the_o report_n go_v tarqvinius_n the_o tyrant_n say_v at_o such_o time_n as_o he_o be_v banish_v that_o he_o

so_o many_o man_n riches_n that_o be_v in_o high_a authority_n richesse_n do_v clean_o shut_v out_o as_o it_o be_v true_a friendship_n for_o fortune_n herself_o be_v not_o only_o blind_a fortune_n

a_o end_n of_o this_o matty_a ¶_o and_o now_o we_o must_v set_v out_o friendship_n how_o far_o the_o bound_n and_o point_n of_o love_n do_v reach_v in_o freendeshippe_n whereof_o i_o see_v there_o be_v three_o opinion_n and_o i_o allow_v neither_o of_o they_o one_o be_v that_o we_o so_o love_v our_o friend_n as_o we_o do_v ourselves_o the_o other_o that_o our_o good_a will_n toward_o our_o friend_n do_v a_o like_a and_o equal_o answer_v their_o good_a will_n toward_o us._n disalow_v the_o third_o that_o how_o much_o every_o man_n set_v by_o himself_o so_o much_o he_o shall_v be_v set_v by_o of_o his_o friend_n but_o i_o agree_v to_o none_o of_o these_o three_o opinion_n for_o the_o first_o be_v not_o true_a that_o every_o man_n be_v a_o like_a hert_v toward_o his_o friend_n as_o he_o be_v toward_o himself_o for_o how_o many_o
thing_n enterprise_n we_o for_o our_o friend_n sake_n which_o for_o ourselves_o we_o will_v never_o do_v as_o to_o pray_v and_o sue_v to_o a_o unworthy_a man_n for_o our_o friend_n cause_n to_o be_v over_o earnest_o bend_v against_o one_o and_o to_o pursue_v he_o very_o sore_o which_o thing_n in_o our_o own_o mattier_n stand_v not_o well_o with_o honesty_n but_o in_o our_o friend_n cause_n be_v most_o honest_a there_o be_v many_o thing_n also_o in_o which_o the_o honest_a sort_n hoth_o take_v away_o and_o suffer_v to_o be_v take_v from_o their_o own_o gain_n to_o end_n their_o friend_n rather_o than_o themselves_o may_v enjoy_v they_o the_o second_o opinion_n be_v that_o appoint_v friendship_n to_o use_v like_o benefit_n and_o like_o good_a will_n but_o this_o be_v to_o straight_o and_o to_o ne●re_n to_o bring_v friendship_n to_o be_v wey_v in_o balance_n as_o though_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o like_a iompe_n measure_n of_o take_v and_o receive_v of_o pleasure_n friendship_n i_o think_v true_a freendeship_n be_v a_o rich_a and_o a_o bountifull_a thing_n and_o do_v not_o take_v so_o narrow_a head_n to_o geve_v no_o more_o than_o it_o may_v receive_v neither_o be_v there_o such_o fear_n to_o be_v take_v in_o freendeship_n that_o we_o lease_n not_o a_o good_a turn_n or_o let_v it_o fall_v in_o the_o mire_n or_o that_o we_o heap_v not_o up_o more_o benefit_n than_o just_a measure_n the_o third_o be_v the_o worst_a which_o be_v that_o how_o much_o every_o man_n make_v of_o himself_o so_o much_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v of_o by_o his_o friend_n but_o in_o some_o often_o time_n either_o th●●e_n be_v a_o more_o bashful_a spirit_n o●_n a_o more_o comfortless_a hope_n of_o amend_v their_o state_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o the_o propretee_n of_o a_o friend_n to_o be_v towards_o he_o as_o he_o be_v toward_o himself_o but_o he_o ought_v rather_o to_o study_v and_o find_v the_o mean_n that_o he_o cheer_v up_o his_o friend_n dismay_v mind_n and_o bring_v he_o in_o a_o more_o hope_n and_o better_a comfort_n there_o be_v therefore_o another_o end_n of_o true_a friendship_n to_o be_v mad●_n so_o that_o first_o i_o shall_v tell_v that_o which_o scip●o_n be_v wont_v chief_o to_o reprove_v he_o will_v deny_v that_o any_o sai_n can_v be_v find_v more_o against_o friendship_n than_o this_o that_o say_v man_n ought_v so_o to_o love_v as_o at_o sometime_o they_o shall_v ha●e_v and_o he_o can_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o believe_v friendship_n that_o this_o be_v say_v by_o bias_n as_o it_o be_v report_v who_o be_v one_o of_o the_o seven_o wise_a man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sai_n of_o some_o vile_a and_o ambitious_a man_n or_o else_o of_o one_o that_o will_v bring_v all_o ●●ynges_n to_o his_o own_o power_n and_o sway_n for_o how_o can_v one_o be_v his_o friend_n who_o enemy_n he_o think_v also_o to_o be_v for_o first_o he_o must_v needs_o desire_n and_o wish_n that_o his_o friend_n may_v very_o often_o offend_v that_o he_o may_v geve_v as_o it_o be_v occasion_n to_o chide_v again_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v greve_v and_o freat_v or_o else_o envy_v at_o his_o friend_n good_a hap_n and_o do_n wherefore_o this_o rule_n true_o be_v enough_o who_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v to_o destroy_v frenship_n but_o this_o rather_o be_v mete_v to_o have_v a_o rule_n make_v that_o we_o shall_v use_v such_o warenesse_n in_o provide_v of_o friend_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o begin_v to_o love_v he_o who_o at_o any_o time_n we_o may_v after_o hate_v beside_o if_o we_o have_v not_o be_v most_o fortunate_a in_o choose_n of_o our_o frendabis_fw-la yet_o scipio_n think_v man_n shall_v ●eare_z that_o mischance_n rather_o than_o to_o seek_v a_o occasion_n of_o f●lling_v out_o friend_n these_o end_n in_o freendeship_n therefore_o i_o think_v be_v to_o be_v use_v that_o when_o friend_n manner_n be_v honest_a all_o their_o good_n counsel_n and_o good_a will_n shall_v be_v as_o common_a among_o they_o without_o any_o exception_n and_o also_o if_o chance_n so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o unhone_a do_n of_o friend_n be_v to_o be_v holpen_v in_o thing_n where_o they_o stand_v upon_o life_n and_o death_n or_o upon_o their_o estimation_n they_o may_v somewhat_o swerve_v out_o of_o the_o way_n so_o that_o great_a dishonesty_n follow_v not_o of_o it_o for_o friendship_n may_v be_v pardon_v herein_o neither_o be_v estimation_n to_o be_v reject_v nor_o yet_o must_v we_o think_v that_o the_o people_n voice_n be_v a_o small_a help_n to_o have_v a_o doo●ing_n in_o thing_n which_o to_o get_v with_o flattery_n &_o fair_a word_n be_v dishonesty_n therefore_o virtue_n who_o have_v the_o love_n of_o all_o man_n follow_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v but_o it_o be_v oft_o demand_v for_o now_o i_o return_v to_o scipio_n all_o who_o talk_n be_v of_o freendeshippe_n why_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n man_n be_v more_o diligent_a as_o that_o every_o one_o can_v tell_v how_o many_o goat_n and_o sheep_n he_o
