There is another Physician, that thrives well too, if not best; and that's the Lawyer. For men go not to the Physician till their bodies be sick; but to the Lawyer when they be well, to make them sick. Thus whil•s they fear an Ague, they fall into a Consumption. He that scapes his disease, and falls into the hands of his Physician; or from his trouble of suites, lights into the fingers of his Lawyer, fulfils the old verse, Incidit in Scyllam, dumb vult vitare Charibdim. ⟨p. 206⟩Or is in the poor Birds case, that flying in fear from the Cuckoo, lighted into the tallon• of the Hawk. These are a couple of thriving Physicians: Alter tuetur a•gros, alter tuetur agros: One looks to the state of the person; the other of the purse▪ so the old verse testifies. Dat Galenus opes, dat Justinianus honours. Physic gives wealth, and Law Honour. I speak not against due reward, for just deserts in both these faculties.
There is another Phisitian, that thriues well too, if not best; and that's the Lawyer. For men goe not to the Phisitian till their bodies be sicke; but to the Lawyer when they be well, to make them sicke. Thus whil•s they feare an Ague, they fall into a Consumption. He that scapes his disease, and fals into the hands of his Phisitian; or from his trouble of suites, lights into the fingers of his Lawyer, fulfils the old verse, Incidit in Scyllam, dum vult vitare Charibdim. ⟨p. 206⟩Or is in the poore Birds case, that flying in feare from the Cuckooe, lighted into the tallon• of the Hawke. These are a couple of thriuing Phisitians: Alter tuetur a•gros, alter tuetur agros: One lookes to the state of the person; the other of the purse▪ so the old verse testifies. Dat Galenus opes, dat Iustinianus honores. Phisicke giues wealth, and Law Honour. I speake not against due reward, for iust deserts in both these faculties.
