without_o intoxicate_v the_o brain_n insomuch_o as_o we_o find_v that_o our_o friendship_n with_o the_o proprietor_n of_o what_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o covet_v do_v often_o even_o by_o the_o single_a

easy_o correct_v frailty_n of_o nature_n it_o have_v be_v well_o say_v of_o friendship_n that_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o humane_a society_n and_o if_o our_o friendship_n hold_v this_o analogy_n with_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v equal_o entire_a in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v very_o safe_a with_o woman_n if_o the_o love_n be_v no_o more_o in_o the_o face_n then_o in_o the_o foot_n as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v like_o a_o soul_n thus_o spiritual_o distribute_v equal_o in_o the_o whole_a compound_n of_o body_n and_o mind_n it_o be_v not_o in_o danger_n of_o the_o partiality_n of_o passion_n which_o never_o make_v this_o equal_a communication_n of_o itself_o but_o lodge_v sole_o in_o the_o external_a figure_n of_o the_o body_n and_o friendship_n thus_o regular_o spiritual_a may_v find_v a_o sensible_a as_o well_o as_o a_o lawful_a delight_n in_o the_o beauty_n and_o lovelynesse_n of_o the_o person_n for_o beauty_n have_v somewhat_o that_o affect_v and_o take_v our_o

the_o spirit_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n be_v equal_o issue_v from_o all_o part_n of_o it_o and_o so_o there_o may_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o spirit_n and_o quickness_n of_o joy_n and_o delight_n that_o may_v shine_v upon_o we_o from_o the_o object_n of_o a_o beautiful_a person_n who_o we_o may_v love_v so_o spiritual_o as_o to_o consider_v nothing_o in_o the_o person_n sever_v from_o the_o whole_a
