love_v too_o much_o he_o be_v infinite_o worthy_a of_o our_o high_a affection_n yet_o it_o be_v our_o happiness_n if_o we_o can_v dilate_v our_o heart_n and_o soul_n wide_a to_o be_v more_o capable_a of_o this_o passion_n for_o the_o most_o incomparable_a deserve_a object_n of_o it_o the_o love_n we_o bear_v the_o creature_n be_v always_o restless_a and_o never_o perfect_a because_o attend_v with_o so_o many_o uncertainty_n those_o who_o we_o love_v most_o may_v or_o hate_v we_o or_o be_v treacherous_a to_o we_o but_o admit_v they_o be_v all_o that_o we_o can_v desire_v they_o shall_v be_v yet_o alas_o they_o be_v mortal_a and_o that_o fidelity_n which_o they_o protest_v to_o we_o can_v exempt_v they_o from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o they_o be_v bear_v so_o they_o must_v die_v by_o consequence_n then_o where_o the_o creature_n be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o love_n we_o can_v but_o be_v unhappy_a fix_v then_o our_o love_n upon_o god_n can_v only_o secure_v our_o

of_o his_o nature_n may_v arm_v we_o against_o all_o apprehension_n he_o deserve_v the_o most_o to_o be_v belove_v since_o his_o love_n to_o we_o can_v change_v but_o with_o our_o love_n to_o he_o and_o whenever_o we_o by_o transgression_n dissolve_v this_o union_n he_o be_v ready_a and_o willing_a to_o pardon_v we_o upon_o our_o repentance_n and_o take_v we_o into_o favour_n again_o friendship_n be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a effect_n of_o love_n between_o man_n and_o man_n even_o barbarian_n esteem_v it_o and_o nature_n can_v not_o subsist_v without_o it_o to_o banish_v it_o the_o world_n be_v to_o subvert_v government_n overthrow_n city_n and_o turn_v the_o condition_n of_o man_n into_o that_o of_o beast_n to_o live_v wild_a in_o the_o desert_n it_o be_v the_o band_n

he_o be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o insupportable_a to_o we_o as_o the_o person_n be_v esteem_v who_o lose_v a_o friend_n lose_v the_o better_a half_n of_o himself_o survive_v that_o part_n only_o to_o be_v the_o more_o sensible_a of_o his_o misery_n friendship_n between_o different_a sex_n as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v contract_v but_o with_o danger_n so_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o avoid_v it_o for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o distinction_n of_o sex_n in_o the_o soul_n yet_o such_o a_o amity_n can_v be_v without_o scandal_n though_o it_o may_v be_v peradventure_o without_o a_o crime_n the_o world_n be_v grow_v too_o corrupt_a and_o a_o strict_a familiarity_n between_o man_n and_o woman_n can_v be_v long_o entertain_v without_o sensible_a peril_n to_o both_o nature_n will_v be_v mix_v certain_a motion_n with_o those_o of_o friendship_n which_o can_v but_o have_v fatal_a consequence_n when_o man_n shall_v be_v a_o angel_n he_o shall_v be_v permit_v to_o converse_v with_o woman_n for_o till_o he_o be_v divest_v of_o his_o body_n he_o will_v not_o be_v without_o a_o criminal_a desire_n therefore_o we_o must_v resolve_v never_o to_o approach_v too_o near_o these_o glitter_a star_n who_o malignant_a influence_n ruin_v our_o innocence_n and_o who_o ray_n do_v not_o so_o much_o enlighten_v as_o they_o burn_v we_o must_v not_o only_o love_v our_o friend_n but_o

it_o be_v intolerable_a to_o see_v with_o what_o idolatry_n the_o miser_n behold_v his_o bag_n and_o how_o much_o love_n he_o bestow_v upon_o a_o metal_n that_o can_v make_v as_o few_o return_n to_o his_o affection_n as_o it_o be_v insensible_a of_o it_o with_o what_o extravagancy_n some_o admire_v a_o flower_n which_o fade_v even_o whilst_o they_o smell_v it_o and_o which_o be_v irreparable_o

it_o be_v high_o absurd_a indeed_o if_o we_o reflect_v serious_o on_o it_o that_o that_o noble_a passion_n which_o be_v give_v we_o to_o constitute_v our_o felicity_n shall_v be_v so_o misplace_v as_o
