Of the choyce of Friends IT is not with Vertue as with worldly Princes her pride consists not in her plumes nor the glory of her state in the greatnesse of her Traine But shee is as well contented to lodge in a poore Cottage as in a Kingly Palace Her greatest Glory is in Friendship where two hearts are mutually connext and dare lay downe their lives one for another There she exults and esteemes nothing more heavenly to this purpose shee hath disperst her rayes that Amitie might be in common to all Therefore seeing that the life of man necessarily hath neede of Friendship and Fellowship for it is a matter both harsh and hard for a man to have alwayes his minde bended about businesse and would bee yet more wearisome if hee had not one with whom he might take some release and that wee prove commonly too negligent and carelesse in making our choice We ought in my judgement to chuse such people for our friends as be of a mild and meeke conversation and who because of their calme and quiet disposition deserve to be beloved for there is not any thing that so much doth content and deligh the minde of man as faithfull and trusty friendship It being a great contentment to find a person so disposed unto whom yee may safely impart your most secret affaires whose counsel may advise you whose cheerefulnes may qualifie all your cares and whose presence may appease all your paines and expell your pensivenesse of minde And therefore yee must endeavour to chuse such friends as are free from covetousnesse and all notorious vice For vice like the fire taketh hold of that which is neerest unto it So that wee must doe as men are wont in the time of plague and ●estilence which is to separate ●nd sever the sicke from the whole it being a contagion and ●n occasion of sicknesse to let ●hem live together Neverthe●esse I do not like that we should be in our choice too scrupulous but seeing we cannot finde folks together perfect wee must hold those for good which bee lesse evill Amity is a sacred flame kindled in our breasts by nature and hath expressed its first heate betweene husband and wife brother and sister friend and friend it is the soule and life of the world more necessary then Fire and Water Friendshippe is the companion of Justice the bond of Nature the Defence and Safe-●●ard of a Towne or City the comfort of old age and the quiet harbour of mans lif●● By it all things consist discord decaies therefore in the election of friends ye ought chiefly to avoide such as be extremely sullen or sad who weepe and waile at all things and despaire of all things although otherwife they be such as d●e love you and would proove faithfull enough unto you For it is a thing that must needes trouble us much to have such a man for our friend as is alwaies sad sighing and sobbing at every occasion For seeing that friendship and fellowship is ordained to drive away discontent sorrow and griefe it were neither reasonable no● convenient to chuse such a one for your comforter and friend as in stead of delighting you and of lightning your griefe should by his fullennesse and sadnesse increase your sorrow and every day occasion unto you some new vaine apprehension and feare DISC. 8.
