but_o will_v you_o find_v any_o that_o will_v be_v true_o your_o friend_n and_o in_o effect_n can_v you_o find_v they_o espouse_v your_o interest_n as_o their_o own_o and_o will_v they_o not_o upon_o

all_o that_o he_o do_v so_o for_o his_o friend_n he_o do_v for_o himself_o and_o he_o do_v but_o lend_v they_o that_o which_o he_o flatter_v himself_o they_o will_v return_v to_o he_o with_o usury_n

you_o be_v about_o to_o do_v some_o good_a action_n and_o have_v forsake_v the_o world_n perhaps_o you_o will_v not_o have_v forsake_v yourself_o have_v a_o care_n that_o a_o little_a self-love_n
