quam ob rem primum
danda opera est ne qua amicorum discidia fiant, sin
tale aliquid evenerit, ut exstinctae potius amicitiae
quam oppressae esse videantur. cavendum vero
ne etiam in gravis inimicitias convertant se amicitiae
ex quibus iurgia maledicta contumeliae gignuntur.
quae tamen si tolerabiles erunt, ferendae sunt et
hic honos veteri amicitiae tribuendus, ut is in culpa
sit qui faciat, non is qui patiatur, iniuriam.
omnino omnium horum vitiorum atque incommodorum una cautio est atque una provisio, ut ne
nimis cito diligere incipiant neve non dignos.
