any_o honest_a cause_n or_o good_a deed_n because_o thou_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v but_o if_o we_o refuse_v care_n we_o must_v then_o refuse_v virtue_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n with_o some_o care_n despise_v and_o hate_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o as_o for_o example_n goodness_n must_v hate_v euilnesse_n temperance_n riot_n fortitude_n cowardice_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v see_v the_o just_a great_o grieve_v at_o matter_n unjust_a the_o stout_a at_o the_o weak_a the_o modest_a liver_n with_o prank_n ungracious_a this_o therefore_o be_v the_o property_n

ought_v to_o be_v reject_v because_o it_o bring_v sundry_a care_n and_o grievance_n see_v therefore_o that_o virtue_n cause_v friendship_n as_o i_o afore_o have_v declare_v if_o any_o token_n or_o

and_o to_o rattle_v he_o up_o very_o sharp_o which_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o case_n of_o our_o own_o stand_v not_o well_o with_o honesty_n but_o in_o our_o friend_n behalf_n be_v most_o honest_a &_o

that_o their_o friend_n rather_o than_o themselves_o may_v enjoy_v they_o the_o second_o opinion_n be_v it_o which_o define_v friendship_n with_o equal_a courtesy_n &_o will_n but_o true_o this_o be_v too_o strict_a deal_n to_o call_v friendship_n to_o account_v &_o reckon_v how_o many_o pleasure_n have_v be_v do_v to_o intent_n so_o many_o may_v again_o be_v receive_v i_o think_v that_o true_a

no_o such_o fear_n to_o be_v take_v lest_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n lose_v or_o jest_n it_o friendship_n shall_v be_v spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n or_o lest_o we_o heap_v up_o too_o much_o

his_o friend_n in_o some_o there_o be_v many_o time_n either_o a_o quell_v courage_n or_o a_o comfortless_a hope_n of_o amend_v their_o estate_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o friend_n part_n to_o

and_o to_o put_v he_o in_o good_a hope_n of_o a_o better_a amendment_n we_o must_v therefore_o prescribe_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o true_a friendship_n but_o first_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o thing_n it_o be_v that_o scipio_n be_v wont_v most_o to_o find_v fault_n withal_o he_o say_v that_o there_o can_v not_o be_v devise_v any_o word_n more_o direct_o against_o friendship_n friendship_n then_o his_o be_v which_o say_v
that_o a_o man_n ought_v so_o to_o love_v as_o though_o he_o shall_v one_o day_n again_o hate_n and_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o think_v that_o this_o be_v ever_o speak_v as_o it_o be_v suppose_v by_o bias_n who_o be_v account_v one_o of_o that_o seven_o wise_a sage_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o lewd_a and_o ambitious_a person_n or_o of_o one_o that_o will_v rule_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o own_o power_n and_o authority_n as_o he_o lust_v himself_o for_o how_o can_v any_o man_n be_v friend_n to_o he_o who_o enemy_n he_o think_v that_o he_o shall_v one_o day_n be_v furthermore_o needs_o must_v he_o desire_v &_o wish_v that_o his_o friend_n may_v very_o often_o offend_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v thereby_o have_v as_o it_o be_v the_o more_o occasion_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o again_o he_o must_v needs_o fret_v sorrow_n and_o spirit_n at_o his_o friend_n well_o do_n and_o commodity_n wherefore_o this_o note_n who_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v enough_o to_o take_v friendship_n quite_o away_o this_o rule_n rather_o shall_v have_v be_v prescribe_v that_o we_o shall_v employ_v such_o diligence_n in_o the_o get_v of_o friend_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o at_o any_o time_n begin_v to_o love_v he_o who_o at_o any_o time_n we_o may_v after_o hate_v yea_o beside_o if_o we_o have_v not_o have_v good_a hap_n in_o the_o choose_n of_o our_o friend_n yet_o scipio_n think_v that_o man_n shall_v bear_v with_o that_o mischance_n rather_o than_o to_o seek_v occasion_n to_o quarrel_n &_o fall_v out_o these_o bound_n therefore_o i_o think_v be_v best_a to_o be_v use_v that_o when_o the_o manner_n of_o friend_n be_v well_o qualefy_v and_o honest_a there_o shall_v be_v among_o they_o a_o community_n or_o participation_n of_o all_o their_o god_n common_a purpose_n and_o will_n without_o any_o exception_n as_o if_o the_o case_n be_v so_o that_o some_o deal_n of_o our_o friend_n be_v not_o very_o honest_a be_v to_o be_v help_v which_o concern_v either_o their_o life_n and_o death_n or_o their_o fame_n and_o credit_n we_o credit_n must_v strain_v ourselves_o a_o little_a to_o step_v awry_o out_o of_o the_o way_n so_o that_o utter_a shame_n and_o dishonesty_n ensue_v not_o thereupon_o for_o there_o be_v a_o stint_n how_o far_o friendship_n may_v be_v pardonable_a neither_o must_v we_o slight_o neglect_v our_o fame_n we_o must_v also_o think_v that_o the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o people_n be_v no_o small_a furtherance_n to_o that_o chievinge_v people_n of_o any_o deal_n which_o with_o glaveringe_v &_o flattery_n to_o get_v be_v shameful_a &_o dishonest_a therefore_o virtue_n have_v hearty_a love_n follow_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v but_o he_o oftentimes_o for_o now_o i_o return_v to_o scipio_n who_o whole_a talk_n be_v of_o friendship_n complain_v that_o man_n be_v in_o all_o other_o thing_n more_o diligent_a as_o that_o every_o man_n can_v tell_v how_o many_o goat_n and_o sheep_n he_o have_v but_o that_o be_v can_v not_o reckon_v how_o many_o friend_n he_o have_v and_o that_o in_o compass_v and_o stoar_v himself_o with_o the_o one_o he_o bestow_v great_a care_n but_o in_o the_o choose_v of_o his_o friend_n he_o be_v very_o negligent_a and_o reckless_a neither_o that_o they_o have_v any_o token_n or_o mark_v whereby_o to_o judge_v what_o

of_o trial_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o wiseman_n part_n so_o to_o stay_v the_o vehement_a earnestness_n of_o his_o good_a will_n even_o as_o be_v will_v stay_v his_o friend_n race_n in_o run_v to_o
