or_o utter_v dissolve_v thereof_o for_o this_o course_n do_v they_o still_o take_v that_o be_v true_a and_o faithful_a friend_n within_o themselves_o but_o there_o be_v a_o other_o question_n here_o

their_o father_n friendship_n according_o as_o isocrates_n write_v to_o demonicus_n have_v most_o excellent_o set_v down_o because_o among_o the_o father_n good_n his_o friendship_n be_v also_o

hereupon_o there_o grow_v yet_o a_o other_o question_n about_o that_o gift_n of_o good_n which_o david_n bestow_v on_o ziba_n the_o servant_n of_o mephibosheth_n which_o gift_n notwithstanding_o that_o he_o be_v afterward_o better_o enfourm_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o of_o ziba_n his_o treacherous_a infidelity_n toward_o his_o master_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o whole_o and_o

thereby_o to_o show_v himself_o thankful_a and_o mindful_a of_o the_o firm_a friendship_n between_o himself_o and_o jonathan_n 7._o father_n of_o the_o say_v mephibosheth_n yet_o david_n be_v

herein_o direct_o and_o flat_o against_o the_o law_n and_o end_n of_o true_a friendship_n first_o and_o foremost_a when_o as_o the_o same_o david_n may_v easy_o have_v espy_v the_o falsehood_n of_o ziba_n and_o how_o cunning_o he_o have_v be_v deceive_v and_o circumvent_v by_o his_o treachery_n and_o false_a tale_n yet_o show_v he_o not_o so_o much_o favour_n and_o compassion_n unto_o his_o

29._o nor_o yet_o to_o restore_v unto_o he_o all_o his_o good_n again_o certes_o in_o this_o case_n as_o i_o think_v david_n can_v at_o any_o hand_n be_v excuse_v but_o that_o he_o great_o offend_v and_o sin_v and_o that_o more_o way_n than_o one_o to_o wit_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o be_v a_o king_n and_o second_o as_o be_v the_o profess_a and_o swear_v friend_n of_o jonathan_n the_o father_n of_o this_o mephibosheth_n in_o that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n his_o office_n and_o duty_n have_v be_v to_o have_v punish_v and_o revenge_v the_o open_a treachery_n and_o manifest_a falsehood_n of_o

and_o duty_n i_o say_v have_v be_v in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o great_a friendship_n between_o he_o and_o jonathan_n to_o have_v defend_v and_o support_v his_o son_n be_v oppress_v and_o afflict_a and_o be_v well_o able_a to_o have_v restore_v he_o to_o his_o father_n inheritance_n but_o in_o that_o david_n neglect_v and_o omit_v so_o to_o do_v sure_o therein_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o great_a reprehension_n and_o to_o be_v deem_v and_o account_v as_o one_o utter_o unmyndfull_a of_o his_o office_n and_o duty_n furthermore_o to_o have_v transgress_v the_o bound_n and_o to_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o law_n of_o true_a friendship_n yea_o and_o quite_o to_o have_v forget_v both_o his_o promise_n and_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v afore_o receive_v therefore_o this_o fact_n of_o david_n be_v not_o by_o any_o that_o be_v profess_v friend_n to_o be_v imitate_v and_o follow_v neither_o to_o be_v draw_v into_o example_n if_o any_o man_n to_o excuse_n david_n will_v say_v that_o because_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o by_o a_o oath_n and_o have_v now_o already_o give_v the_o same_o good_n unto_o ziba_n that_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o lawful_o call_v back_o his_o

which_o he_o grant_v to_o be_v equal_o make_v between_o they_o both_o he_o clear_v not_o himself_o from_o the_o conscience_n of_o his_o oath_n before_o god_n for_o he_o swear_v also_o unto_o ziba_n that_o he_o will_v give_v unto_o he_o all_o the_o whole_a good_n of_o mephibosheth_n and_o not_o a_o moiety_n or_o portion_n of_o they_o only_o and_o yet_o he_o assign_v unto_o he_o but_o only_o a_o

and_o a_o friend_n do_v not_o only_o differ_v in_o deed_n and_o in_o name_n but_o sure_a and_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o flattery_n be_v the_o rank_a poison_n &_o the_o most_o dangerous_a plague_n to_o friendship_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v the_o which_o although_o it_o carry_v a_o outward_a show_n of_o great_a affection_n and_o sincere_a goodwill_n yet_o doubtless_o do_v it_o utter_o undo_v the_o bond_n of_o friendship_n utter_o weaken_v and_o enfeeble_v his_o strength_n and_o utter_o each_o way_n destroy_v and_o mar_v the_o nature_n thereof_o for_o the_o flatterer_n resemble_v and_o counterfeit_v the_o word_n of_o a_o unfeigned_a friend_n but_o not_o his_o honest_a mind_n neither_o his_o sincere_a love_n nor_o his_o true_a heart_a affection_n moreover_o all_o these_o three_o point_n above_o specify_v ought_v among_o friend_n to_o be_v common_a for_o friend_n not_o only_o strain_v themselves_o mutual_o to_o requite_v courtesy_n but_o also_o in_o these_o their_o courtesy_n covet_v the_o one_o to_o surmount_v &_o pass_v yea_o &_o to_o prevent_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o be_v the_o one_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o these_o perfourmance_n of_o mutual_a love_n of_o mutual_a consent_n &_o of_o mutual_a defence_n protection_n and_o assistance_n be_v action_n enterchaungeable_a and_o reciprocal_a but_o yet_o not_o so_o as_o that_o a_o friend_n shall_v purpose_o bestow_v a_o courtesy_n upon_o his_o friend_n in_o hope_n of_o as_o good_a a_o turn_n or_o as_o large_a a_o benefit_n at_o his_o hand_n again_o for_o no_o other_o godly_a honest_a man_n extend_v his_o

of_o the_o great_a odds_n of_o the_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o friend_n or_o else_o for_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o wealth_n and_o ability_n as_o for_o example_n the_o one_o peradventure_o be_v very_o rich_a the_o other_o poor_a the_o one_o fortunate_a the_o other_o miserable_a the_o one_o exile_v and_o banish_v the_o other_o live_v at_o home_n in_o his_o native_a country_n but_o all_o

yet_o requite_v he_o and_o return_v as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v able_a whereupon_o i_o say_v that_o courtesy_n and_o benefit_n among_o friend_n be_v always_o mutual_a and_o interchangeable_a but_o yet_o not_o always_o alike_o and_o equal_a as_o appear_v in_o jonathan_n and_o david_n 20.41_o yea_o friend_n do_v not_o only_o mutual_o protect_v defend_v and_o maintain_v one_o a_o other_o person_n

what_o how_o far_o and_o how_o much_o one_o friend_n be_v to_o perform_v and_o to_o do_v for_o a_o other_o concern_v the_o first_o which_o be_v of_o the_o time_n let_v this_o stand_v for_o a_o definitive_a and_o resolute_a answer_n that_o if_o the_o sincere_a vow_n and_o unfeigned_a goodwill_n of_o they_o that_o godly_a enter_v into_o this_o christian_a league_n of_o friendship_n be_v advise_o consider_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v endless_a and_o to_o continue_v between_o they_o perpetual_o even_o so_o long_o as_o they_o both_o shall_v live_v in_o this_o world_n and_o yet_o many_o

break_v of_o or_o at_o least_o to_o withdraw_v and_o relent_v friendship_n for_o what_o if_o the_o one_o of_o the_o friend_n shall_v renye_v his_o faith_n and_o of_o a_o faithful_a believer_n become_v a_o faithless_a infidel_n and_o of_o a_o christian_a become_v a_o turk_n or_o a_o pagan_a certes_o in_o this_o case_n all_o friendship_n be_v utter_o to_o be_v forsake_v and_o all_o amity_n if_o after_o sundry_a exhortation_n and_o admonition_n he_o still_o persist_v in_o his_o obstinate_a miscreancie_n must_v be_v quite_o renounce_v howbeit_o such_o a_o grievous_a apostasy_n and_o such_o a_o horrible_a backslide_n breed_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o friend_n no_o small_a heaviness_n and_o sorrow_n yea_o and_o many_o time_n also_o cause_v he_o for_o a_o time_n to_o suspend_v his_o determination_n and_o to_o linger_v some_o while_n in_o hope_n of_o amendment_n and_o repentance_n for_o even_o so_o likewise_o at_o the_o death_n of_o our_o friend_n although_o we_o very_o believe_v and_o rest_v assure_v that_o his_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o everlasting_a bliss_n yet_o do_v we_o sorrow_n and_o lament_v 1.26_o and_o that_o sometime_o very_o much_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o david_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o frailty_n lest_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v like_o the_o old_a giant_n go_v about_o to_o make_v war_n against_o god_n or_o irreligious_o to_o prefer_v our_o own_o affection_n before_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o maker_n therefore_o there_o may_v oftentimes_o be_v give_v most_o just_a occasion_n to_o break_v and_o renounce_v friendship_n but_o yet_o the_o vow_n and_o purpose_n at_o the_o first_o ought_v so_o sincere_o to_o be_v make_v and_o intend_v as_o that_o it_o shall_v last_v continue_v and_o be_v retain_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o that_o term_n and_o sentence_n which_o by_o some_o be_v use_v be_v most_o beastly_a and_o reprooveable_a love_n as_o though_o thou_o shall_v one_o day_n hate_n which_o
