wonder_n at_o very_o many_o esteem_v they_o as_o nothing_o of_o friendship_n all_o man_n have_v one_o opinion_n both_o those_o which_o have_v give_v themselves_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o common_a

that_o my_o familiar_a terence_n say_v in_o his_o comedy_n andria_n book_n that_o sowth_a get_v friend_n and_o truth_n do_v purchase_v hatred_n truth_n be_v noisome_a if_o there_o grow_v hatrede_v of_o it_o which_o be_v a_o poison_n to_o friendship_n flattery_n but_o yet_o sowth_v be_v much_o more_o hurtful_a which_o coker_v up_o his_o friend_n in_o his_o fault_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o run_v

therefore_o we_o must_v have_v all_o our_o regard_n and_o wariness_n that_o our_o warnynge_n be_v without_o bitterness_n and_o our_o chidynge_n with_o out_o spitefulnesse_n but_o in_o sowth_v
