Peter Alphonse, Disciplina Clericalis (English translation… (1919)
“ Forsoth the fader saide, "For suche oon the Philosophre saith: 'he is a veray triewe friend that helpith the whan al the world failith'." Then saide the sone to the fader: "Hastow seen any man whiche hath wonne or purchaced hym suche an holl friend?" [The fader answerd] : "I have nat seen that, but I have herd [it] ." Than the sone: "Tel me of hym if happely I myght purchace me suche a friend." ”
