thing_n that_o can_v render_v friendship_n perfect_a and_o sincere_a iv_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o enemy_n be_v common_o man_n desire_n to_o better_v their_o condition_n a_o weariness_n of_o act_n of_o hostility_n and_o a_o fear_n of_o some_o ill_a accident_n which_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o prevent_v v._o it_o be_v more_o disgraceful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o distrust_v his_o friend_n than_o to_o be_v cozen_v by_o they_o vi_o we_o oftentimes_o fancy_v that_o we_o love_v person_n in_o authority_n when_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o interest_n that_o make_v we_o fond_a of_o they_o and_o all_o our_o application_n and_o attendance_n be_v not_o so_o much_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o any_o good_a we_o desire_v to_o do_v they_o as_o for_o what_o we_o expect_v and_o hope_v they_o may_v do_v we_o vii_o it_o show_v that_o our_o affection_n be_v but_o small_a when_o we_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o our_o friend_n coldness_n and_o indifference_n viii_o most_o friend_n create_v a_o disgust_n for_o friendship_n and_o most_o religious_a hypocrite_n for_o religion_n ix_o we_o often_o complain_v of_o our_o friend_n fickleness_n only_o to_o justify_v beforehand_o our_o own_o inconstancy_n x._o we_o be_v but_o little_o concern_v for_o our_o friend_n disgrace_n when_o they_o give_v as_o a_o occasion_n of_o signalize_v our_o tenderness_n for_o they_o xi_o when_o we_o proclaim_v and_o aggravate_v the_o tenderness_n our_o friend_n have_v for_o we_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o out_o of_o gratitude_n as_o from_o a_o desire_n to_o possess_v other_o people_n with_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o our_o own_o worth_n xii_o it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o love_v those_o for_o who_o we_o have_v not_o a_o real_a esteem_n but_o it_o be_v much_o hard_a still_o to_o love_v those_o that_o we_o think_v deserve_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o ourselves_o xiii_o no_o man_n can_v continue_v long_o in_o the_o respect_n he_o owe_v to_o his_o friend_n and_o benefactor_n that_o

our_o friend_n may_v justify_v our_o indifference_n to_o the_o expression_n of_o their_o tenderness_n but_o in_o no_o manner_n our_o insensibility_n to_o their_o misfortune_n xvii_o the_o reason_n why_o most_o lady_n be_v so_o little_o affect_v by_o friendship_n be_v because_o it_o taste_v very_o flat_a and_o insipid_a after_o the_o relish_v of_o love_n xviii_o in_o friendship_n as_o well_o as_o love_n ignorance_n very_o often_o contribute_v more_o to_o our_o happiness_n than_o knowledge_n xix_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a relish_n in_o true_a friendship_n above_o the_o sensibility_n of_o

thing_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o for_o its_o destruction_n as_o caprice_n cruelty_n absence_n and_o jealousy_n friendship_n on_o the_o contrary_a must_v have_v something_o to_o support_v it_o and_o faint_v away_o for_o want_n of_o mutual_a office_n confidence_n and_o complaisance_n xxii_o love_n and_o friendship_n do_v reciprocal_o exclude_v one_o another_o xxiii_o hatred_n be_v not_o so_o far_o from_o friendship_n as_o antipathy_n be_v xxiv_o to_o live_v with_o our_o friend_n as_o if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v one_o day_n our_o enemy_n and_o with_o our_o enemy_n as_o with_o those_o that_o may_v become_v our_o friend_n be_v neither_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o friendship_n nor_o the_o nature_n of_o hatred_n xxv_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v care_v not_o to_o make_v those_o our_o enemy_n which_o if_o better_a know_v we_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o count_v among_o our_o friend_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o ought_v to_o choose_v friend_n so_o true_a and_o so_o honest_a that_o when_o they_o cease_v to_o be_v so_o will_v scorn_v to_o take_v a_o advantage_n against_o we_o of_o our_o former_a confidence_n xxvi_o man_n can_v never_o go_v a_o great_a way_n in_o

the_o heart_n which_o be_v cause_v by_o passion_n of_o all_o kind_n we_o know_v disease_n of_o stop_n and_o suffocation_n be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a in_o the_o body_n and_o it_o be_v not_o much_o otherwise_o in_o the_o mind_n *_o xxix_o we_o may_v observe_v how_o high_a a_o rate_n prince_n do_v set_v upon_o this_o fruit_n of_o friendship_n since_o they_o purchase_v it_o many_o time_n at_o the_o hazard_n of_o their_o own_o safety_n and_o greatness_n for_o prince_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o distance_n of_o their_o fortune_n from_o that_o of_o their_o subject_n and_o servant_n can_v gather_v this_o fruit_n except_o they_o raise_v some_o person_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v companion_n and_o almost_o equal_a to_o themselves_o which_o many_o time_n prove_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n xxx_o as_o uncommon_a a_o thing_n as_o true-love_n be_v it_o be_v yet_o more_o frequent_a than_o true-friendship_n xxxi_o true_a friendship_n destroy_v envy_n as_o true-love_n break_v

honourable_a name_n yet_o a_o man_n may_v very_o well_o make_v his_o best_a of_o they_o as_o he_o see_v occasion_n as_o of_o a_o trade_n that_o be_v not_o fix_v upon_o any_o sure_a fund_z and_o where_o nothing_o be_v more_o usual_a than_o to_o find_v ourselves_o cheat_v xxxiv_o there_o be_v in_o all_o science_n some_o chimaera_n or_o other_o which_o we_o eternal_o pursue_v in_o vain_a as_o

their_o chimaera_n that_o be_v disinterestness_n or_o perfect_a friendship_n no_o man_n will_v ever_o come_v up_o to_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v good_a that_o all_o shall_v pretend_v to_o it_o since_o by_o
