as_o other_o proportionable_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o friend_n so_o be_v our_o wealth_n in_o he_o that_o be_v the_o great_a treasure_n because_o most_o excellent_a and_o useful_a there_o be_v many_o intricacy_n a_o man_n wind_n himself_o into_o sometime_o by_o impudence_n othertime_n by_o ignorance_n the_o clue_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n &_o hand_n of_o a_o judicious_a friend_n that_o may_v bring_v he_o out_o if_o my_o friend_n be_v wise_a i_o can_v confide_v in_o he_o in_o the_o worst_a of_o time_n many_o plainhearted_a man_n have_v be_v undo_v for_o want_n of_o this_o how_o oft_o do_v

it_o be_v no_o small_a advantage_n to_o pharaoh_n that_o joseph_n foresee_v the_o evil_a of_o famine_n come_v upon_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n when_o it_o come_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v make_v by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o joseph_n the_o story_n will_v inform_v we_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v before_o we_o come_v to_o a_o undo_a necessity_n a_o wise_a man_n foresee_v that_o and_o do_v that_o now_o by_o way_n of_o prevention_n that_o a_o imprudent_a man_n will_v wish_v he_o have_v do_v when_o the_o extremity_n be_v upon_o he_o wisdom_n be_v most_o desirable_a in_o this_o regard_n because_o there_o be_v no_o great_a want_n where_o it_o be_v right_o improve_v it_o be_v the_o ladder_n by_o which_o man_n climb_v up_o to_o honour_n and_o be_v useful_a in_o all_o condition_n in_o

still_o nothing_o can_v deprive_v he_o of_o his_o worth_n and_o excellency_n true_a it_o be_v that_o wise_a man_n be_v not_o always_o rich_a nor_o rich_a man_n be_v not_o always_o wise_a yet_o the_o former_a may_v and_o shall_v have_v the_o preeminency_n riches_n and_o greatness_n be_v both_o subordinate_a to_o wisdom_n the_o poor_a wise_a man_n deliver_v the_o city_n when_o the_o king_n can_v not_o do_v it_o by_o his_o honour_n wealth_n and_o strength_n have_v we_o matter_n of_o high_a trust_n none_o more_o fit_a to_o commit_v they_o to_o than_o a_o wise_a man_n in_o trouble_n he_o will_v

wisdom_n they_o conclude_v all_o their_o good_a desire_n in_o a_o few_o empty_a wish_n which_o may_v satisfy_v themselves_o but_o never_o serve_v their_o friend_n but_o wife_n man_n be_v most_o

be_v faithfulness_n this_o be_v the_o cabinet_n that_o contain_v our_o most_o precious_a jewel_n i_o mean_v the_o secret_n of_o the_o heart_n secrecy_n in_o a_o friend_n be_v the_o most_o precious_a

conceivable_a because_o it_o make_v a_o perfect_a divorce_n and_o strike_v against_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o essence_n of_o friendship_n solomon_n observe_v that_o a_o faithful_a man_n conceal_v the_o matter_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n between_o friend_n that_o be_v in_o no_o case_n fit_a to_o be_v reveal_v nor_o can_v be_v do_v but_o with_o the_o great_a treachery_n because_o thereby_o a_o man_n betray_v the_o high_a trust_n which_o nothing_o can_v make_v a_o crime_n more_o unpardonable_a the_o intercourse_n between_o friend_n can_v be_v reveal_v without_o detriment_n because_o expression_n of_o kindness_n though_o innocent_a may_v by_o a_o unfaithful_a repetition_n prove_v prejudicial_a and_o slanderous_a there_o be_v these_o thing_n especial_o in_o a_o faithful_a man_n that_o challenge_v our_o respect_n and_o value_n and_o render_v he_o exceed_o precious_a first_o he_o be_v true_a you_o may_v trust_v he_o he_o do_v not_o wear_v like_o jezabel_n a_o paint_a outside_n or_o like_o the_o gallant_n of_o our_o time_n that_o have_v the_o most_o endear_a expression_n in_o their_o mouth_n their_o voice_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o jacob_n but_o their_o hand_n the_o hand_n of_o esau_n and_o this_o be_v very_o much_o to_o be_v admire_v especial_o in_o person_n of_o ingenuity_n because_o man_n natural_o love_v truth_n and_o value_v thing_n according_a to_o truth_n

more_o love_n in_o the_o world_n man_n can_v trust_v one_o another_o joab-like_a they_o cry_v my_o brother_n and_o smite_v deadly_a be_v not_o a_o faithful_a friend_n to_o be_v value_v in_o such_o

he_o nor_o treat_v he_o without_o suspicion_n nor_o value_v he_o nothing_o more_o destructive_a to_o friendship_n than_o falsehood_n nothing_o more_o oblige_v than_o faithfulness_n as_o a_o faithful_a man_n be_v true_a so_o he_o be_v honest_a and_o just_a he_o be_v a_o covenant-keeping_a man_n as_o well_o as_o a_o covenant-making_a man_n and_o this_o be_v considerable_a because_o in_o all_o friendship_n there_o must_v be_v covenant_n you_o see_v that_o between_o david_n and_o jonathan_n the_o pattern_n of_o friendship_n the_o covenant_n of_o god_n be_v between_o they_o it_o be_v call_v
