forasmuch_o friend_n atticus_n as_o you_o have_v often_o time_n be_v in_o hand_n with_o i_o to_o pen_n some_o pretty_a discourse_n of_o friendship_n i_o deem_v the_o same_o matter_n to_o be_v a_o

friend_n do_v many_o time_n burst_v out_o partly_o upon_o the_o friend_n themselves_o and_o partly_o upon_o stranger_n but_o you_o infamy_n &_o discredit_n redound_v to_o their_o friend_n such_o

rather_o to_o be_v take_v up_o for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o dishonest_a thing_n then_o to_o be_v at_o war_n with_o he_o with_o who_o part_n afore_o time_n thou_o have_v live_v familiar_o

friendship_n may_v seem_v rather_o by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o go_v out_o and_o quench_v of_o itself_o then_o sudden_o and_o rash_o to_o be_v choke_v and_o put_v out_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o friendship_n turn_v not_o into_o great_a hatred_n out_o of_o which_o chydinge_n rail_n and_o reproachful_a term_n be_v engender_v which_o notwithstanding_o if_o they_o be_v any_o thing_n tolerable_a must_v be_v bear_v withal_o and_o this_o honour_n be_v to_o be_v attribute_v to_o old_a friendship_n that_o the_o fault_n be_v always_o in_o he_o that_o do_v not_o in_o he_o that_o

who_o they_o hope_v to_o receive_v most_o profit_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v lack_v that_o most_o goodly_a &_o most_o natural_a friendship_n which_o be_v of_o itself_o &_o for_o itself_o to_o be_v
