There is no Physitian like to a faithful friend; Galen cannot cure what Achates can; in all my griefs I can go to my friend, and ease my self of all; whatever is too hea∣vy for me alone, he sets to his shoulder, and to both it is no burden; this we do for each other, and without pain to either; if our crosses come together, and we are both loaded, we then discharge our grievances by exchange; per∣chance my back may bear his better, and his mine.
