Euerye wyttye capitayne ought ear∣nestly to trauayle, to labour, fyrst to gette frendes, and longe to retayne the same. For by frendes realmes be mayntayned and preserued, and great succour stādeth in them, yf they be true. Suche vertue & force is in frendshyppe, which is the only nourysher of mankynde, and releue of so∣rowe. Wherfore worse it is for a capy∣tayne, to be wythoute frendes, then to lacke treasure.
