little_a and_o little_a insinuate_a their_o own_o praise_n or_o if_o they_o be_v commend_v present_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o puff_v up_o and_o swell_v with_o a_o vain_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n they_o have_v conceive_v of_o themselves_o but_o you_o will_v perhaps_o demand_v of_o i_o by_o the_o way_n what_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v commend_v i_o or_o any_o thing_n appertain_v unto_o i_o how_o ought_v i_o carry_v myself_o if_o i_o accept_v the_o praise_n i_o shall_v be_v account_v proud_a if_o i_o deny_v it_o not_o to_o be_v so_o i_o shall_v seem_v to_o reprehend_v the_o praiser_n and_o condemn_v he_o for_o a_o liar_n or_o a_o flatterer_n in_o such_o a_o case_n because_o it_o occur_v daily_o therefore_o good_a it_o be_v to_o foresee_v and_o provide_v a_o answer_n present_o as_o alfonsus_n king_n of_o arragon_n answer_v a_o orator_n who_o have_v recite_v a_o long_a panigericall_a oration_n of_o his_o praise_n the_o king_n say_v alfon_n panorm_a lib._n 1._o de_fw-fr reb_n gest_n alfon_n to_o he_o if_o that_o thou_o have_v say_v consent_v with_o truth_n i_o thank_v god_n for_o it_o if_o not_o i_o pray_v god_n grant_v i_o grace_v that_o i_o may_v do_v it_o or_o else_o a_o wise_a man_n may_v say_v this_o praise_n i_o deserve_v not_o but_o your_o affection_n better_v my_o action_n or_o you_o by_o good_a nature_n and_o love_n rather_o mark_v the_o little_a good_a i_o do_v than_o many_o defect_n therein_o commit_v or_o the_o spectacle_n of_o love_n force_v you_o to_o censure_v all_o my_o imperfection_n in_o good_a part_n by_o this_o mean_v you_o shall_v avoid_v a_o certain_a vain_a complacence_n in_o your_o own_o do_n which_o offend_v much_o those_o who_o be_v give_v to_o censure_v your_o action_n neither_o shall_v you_o rude_o deny_v that_o your_o friend_n of_o courtesy_n affirm_v to_o be_v true_a conceal_v and_o reveal_n of_o secret_n as_o some_o be_v so_o secret_a that_o they_o never_o will_v open_v any_o thing_n almost_o touch_v their_o own_o affair_n so_o other_o contrary_o be_v so_o simple_a and_o blabbish_n that_o they_o discover_v many_o of_o their_o conceit_n and_o matter_n especial_o concern_v themselves_o to_o any_o man_n almost_o at_o the_o first_o meeting_n the_o former_a common_o be_v crafty_a because_o friendship_n require_v some_o communication_n in_o secret_n principal_o if_o he_o be_v a_o especial_a friend_n yet_o this_o offence_n may_v well_o be_v tolerate_v in_o this_o mischievous_a world_n and_o decline_a age_n wherein_o profit_n be_v prize_v and_o friendship_n despise_v or_o at_o least_o man_n love_v man_n more_o for_o their_o own_o interest_n than_o for_o virtue_n therefore_o if_o thou_o be_v wise_a trust_v no_o man_n with_o that_o thou_o will_v not_o have_v public_o know_v except_o he_o be_v a_o try_a friend_n by_o long_a experience_n yea_o although_o he_o be_v thy_o friend_n but_o vicious_a if_o among_o vicious_a person_n there_o may_v be_v true_a friendship_n assure_v thyself_o that_o by_o open_v to_o he_o thy_o mind_n thou_o have_v half_o reveal_v public_o thou_o own_o secret_n for_o such_o person_n usual_o if_o they_o be_v young_a man_n woman_n or_o of_o a_o very_a ill_a behaviour_n be_v unwise_a blabbish_n and_o most_o indiscreet_a in_o their_o speech_n beside_o their_o love_n be_v ground_v in_o proper_a interest_n of_o pleasure_n and_o gain_v when_o these_o by_o chance_n or_o displeasure_n shall_v fail_v then_o persuade_v thyself_o that_o all_o they_o know_v shall_v be_v reveal_v because_o such_o imprudent_a person_n suppose_v that_o friendship_n once_o be_v dissolve_v they_o be_v not_o bind_v any_o more_o either_o to_o keep_v secret_a or_o conserve_v thy_o credit_n and_o so_o with_o one_o breath_n they_o blow_v all_o away_o wherefore_o i_o take_v it_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v reserve_v his_o secret_n of_o importance_n either_o to_o himself_o or_o not_o to_o manifest_v they_o but_o only_o to_o honest_a &_o virtuous_a friend_n lest_o it_o befall_v unto_o he_o as_o happen_v to_o three_o student_n in_o a_o college_n where_o i_o live_v some_o year_n it_o chance_v a_o person_n of_o some_o authority_n there_o write_v to_o the_o superior_a of_o the_o

three_o yet_o because_o it_o concern_v not_o so_o much_o himself_o as_o the_o other_o two_o he_o mark_v not_o well_o the_o content_n thereof_o the_o superior_a give_v he_o strait_a order_n that_o he_o shall_v in_o no_o case_n reveal_v it_o to_o the_o other_o two_o he_o promise_v but_o perform_v it_o not_o for_o present_o he_o signify_v to_o they_o both_o as_o much_o as_o he_o remember_v the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v touch_v something_o to_o the_o quick_a present_o devise_v a_o way_n how_o to_o come_v by_o the_o letter_n and_o in_o fine_a secret_o get_v a_o sight_n of_o it_o by_o a_o certain_a deceit_n he_o signify_v to_o both_o the_o other_o the_o content_v thereof_o yet_o be_v sharp_o prick_v therewith_o he_o fall_v into_o a_o chase_n with_o the_o person_n that_o have_v write_v the_o letter_n and_o spare_v not_o to_o signify_v as_o much_o to_o the_o superior_a who_o wonder_v how_o he_o come_v by_o the_o content_n thereof_o after_o a_o little_a while_n he_o which_o write_v the_o letter_n come_v to_o the_o college_n and_o hear_v how_o the_o person_n which_o chafe_v in_o that_o extreme_a manner_n have_v get_v intelligence_n of_o the_o letter_n because_o he_o be_v one_o of_o some_o authority_n he_o call_v he_o which_o first_o have_v reveal_v the_o matter_n who_o swear_v that_o he_o never_o have_v utter_v any_o such_o word_n but_o indeed_o that_o the_o other_o have_v by_o a_o stratagem_n get_v knowledge_n of_o the_o letter_n then_o the_o person_n which_o write_v the_o letter_n call_v he_o that_o so_o wililie_o have_v find_v it_o forth_o and_o although_o he_o have_v swear_v never_o to_o discover_v that_o the_o other_o have_v reveal_v unto_o he_o present_o he_o signify_v all_o the_o matter_n unto_o he_o and_o he_o then_o against_o his_o promise_n reveal_v the_o sum_n unto_o the_o person_n in_o authority_n of_o the_o other_o and_o thus_o all_o three_o break_v their_o promise_n and_o their_o oath_n by_o reveal_v of_o secret_n who_o that_o know_v these_o man_n will_v scarce_o have_v believe_v that_o any_o such_o error_n can_v by_o they_o have_v be_v commit_v but_o by_o this_o experience_n because_o i_o be_v privy_a to_o all_o their_o deal_n i_o get_v occasion_n to_o suspect_v falsehood_n in_o fellowship_n to_o try_v ere_o i_o trust_v and_o final_o think_v none_o more_o secret_a than_o a_o man_n to_o himself_o for_o many_o heart_n must_v have_v many_o breathe_n and_o few_o can_v conceal_v from_o their_o friend_n any_o secret_a when_o their_o friend_n reveal_v some_o secret_n unto_o they_o and_o for_o that_o almost_o there_o live_v none_o so_o barren_a of_o friendship_n but_o he_o have_v ●●me_n who_o he_o trust_v therefore_o hardly_o from_o he_o he_o can_v keep_v secret_a his_o own_o heart_n and_o what_o his_o friend_n reveal_v unto_o he_o feign_a secret_n you_o have_v another_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o you_o may_v call_v cousine_v friend_n for_o in_o show_n they_o pretend_v friendship_n but_o in_o effect_n cozenage_n or_o flattery_n they_o will_v come_v to_o you_o very_o serious_o and_o deliver_v a_o smooth_a tale_n in_o secret_a and_o conjure_v you_o that_o in_o no_o case_n you_o shall_v reveal_v it_o you_o promise_v and_o perform_v it_o but_o your_o friend_n will_v not_o keep_v that_o secret_a for_o he_o present_o when_o your_o back_n be_v turn_v will_v do_v as_o much_o to_o another_o the_o second_o and_o three_o and_o so_o in_o fine_a you_o shall_v have_v that_o public_a which_o be_v conceive_v for_o secret_a this_o cozenage_n proceed_v from_o craftiness_n and_o dissemble_a friendship_n because_o true_a friendship_n admit_v not_o many_o to_o communication_n in_o secret_n it_o may_v also_o spring_v from_o a_o lavish_v and_o too_o open_a a_o mind_n for_o that_o indeed_o such_o a_o person_n can_v conceal_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o heart_n from_o such_o as_o do_v seem_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o be_v addict_v to_o his_o friendship_n i_o have_v know_v diverse_a great_a person_n subject_a to_o
