from_o the_o necessity_n as_o well_o as_o the_o aspire_n of_o young_a brother_n or_o their_o family_n who_o blood_n qualify_v they_o to_o pretend_v as_o well_o as_o their_o pride_n and_o necessity_n

stranger_n to_o they_o for_o the_o horrible_a distrust_n in_o which_o they_o all_o live_v of_o one_o another_o make_v that_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a to_o find_v a_o friend_n in_o italy_n but_o most_o of_o all_o in_o venice_n and_o though_o we_o have_v be_v tell_v of_o several_a story_n of_o celebrate_a friendship_n there_o yet_o these_o be_v now_o very_o rare_a as_o for_o their_o wife_n they_o
