^yThe Elements weigh not heavy when they are in their own place, as they do when they are out of them, in the room of some other element. A man that diveth under water, perceiveth not the weight of it, though he have a whole tun of water over his head: whereas were there but half an hogshead of the same water put into some vessel, and set above water on his head, he were by no means able to stand under the weight of it.

For a man to be cozened by some cheating Companion, some shifting Mate that liveth, as we say, by his wits, we are wont to make no great matter of it; He hath put a trick upon me; and I am well enough served: I had little ⟨p. 23⟩reason to look for other at his hands. But for a man to be over reached by one that he hath trade and traffic with, and professeth to deal honestly and uprightly with him, that we can not so well brook or bear; we look for square dealing at the hands of such, and to have monies-worth for our money.
