Sed quia multis et magnis tempestatibus vos cognovi fortis fidosque mihi, eo animus ausus est maxumum atque pulcherrumum facinus incipere, simul quia vobis eadem quae mihi bona malaque esse intellexi; nam idem velle atque idem nolle, ea demum firma amicitia est.
But because I have learned in many great critical situations that you are brave and faithful to me, for that reason my mind has ventured to begin a mighty and glorious enterprise, also because I have perceived that you and I share in common a view of the good and the bad; for to have the same desires and aversions, precisely that constitutes solid friendship.
