but_o within_o the_o sphere_n of_o their_o own_o activity_n our_o need_n and_o our_o conversation_n be_v serve_v by_o a_o few_o and_o they_o can_v reach_v to_o all_o where_o they_o can_v ●hey_n must_v but_o where_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o can_v be_v necessary_a it_o must_v therefore_o follow_v that_o our_o friendship_n to_o mankind_n may_v admit_v variety_n as_o do_v our_o conversation_n and_o as_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v make_v sociable_a to_o all_o so_o we_o be_v friendly_a but_o as_o all_o can_v actual_o be_v of_o our_o society_n so_o neither_o can_v all_o be_v admit_v to_o a_o special_a

and_o be_v desirous_a to_o do_v all_o mankind_n good_a and_o love_v all_o man_n now_o this_o friendship_n we_o must_v pay_v to_o all_o because_o we_o can_v but_o if_o we_o can_v do_v no_o more_o to_o all_o we_o must_v show_v our_o readiness_n to_o do_v more_o good_a to_o all_o by_o actual_o do_v more_o good_a to_o all_o they_o to_o who_o we_o can_v to_o some_o we_o can_v and_o therefore_o there_o

to_o all_o in_o equal_a measure_n and_o signification_n that_o be_v as_o i_o can_v do_v benefit_n to_o all_o alike_o so_o neither_o be_o i_o tie_v to_o love_v all_o alike_o for_o although_o there_o be_v much_o reason_n to_o love_v every_o man_n yet_o there_o be_v more_o reason_n to_o love_v some_o than_o other_o and_o if_o i_o must_v love_v because_o there_o be_v reason_n i_o shall_v than_o i_o must_v love_v more_o where_o there_o be_v more_o reason_n and_o where_o there_o be_v a_o special_a affection_n and_o a_o great_a readiness_n to_o do_v good_a and_o to_o delight_n in_o certain_a
