another_o by_o covetousness_n another_o by_o vainegloriousnes_n &_o you_o must_v think_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o in_o who_o there_o be_v not_o some_o fault_n or_o imperfection_n either_o

to_o reject_v the_o company_n of_o any_o so_o that_o he_o have_v in_o he_o any_o show_n of_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n *_o but_o to_o be_v acceptable_a in_o company_n we_o must_v put_v of_o as_o it_o

the_o respect_n of_o honesty_n and_o virtue_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o touch_v the_o diversity_n of_o the_o person_n with_o who_o we_o shall_v be_v conversaunt_a we_o must_v alter_v ourselves_o into_o a_o other_o according_a to_o that_o old_a say_n the_o heart_n altogether_o unlike_a and_o the_o face_n altogether_o like_a to_o the_o people_n and_o he_o which_o

great_a imperfection_n and_o therefore_o i_o an●_n of_o opinion_n that_o without_o look_v too_o precise_o upon_o one_o fault_n we_o ought_v to_o admit_v the_o company_n of_o all_o those_o who_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o work_v and_o action_n walk_v upright_o and_o it_o be_v lawful_a likewise_o sometime_o to_o make_v as_o though_o we_o see_v not_o their_o fault_n and_o that_o we_o have_v a_o

whereof_o one_o of_o they_o be_v enjoin_v to_o demand_v of_o the_o duke_n why_o be_v so_o many_o young_a gentleman_n in_o the_o city_n of_o great_a wisdom_n and_o good_a behaviour_n he_o cause_v the_o

which_o light_n his_o candle_n before_o the_o image_n of_o the_o devil_n yet_o in_o my_o opinion_n to_o favour_v the_o ill_a be_v to_o offend_v the_o good_a and_o i_o marvel_v how_o a_o prince_n of_o
