The word is used in a similar sense by Shakespeare:
Has
friendship
such a faint and _milky_ heart,
It turns in less than two nights!
Ben Jonson - The Devil's Association
The _the_ is probably absorbed by
the preceding dental. Cf. 5. 7. 9.
=2. 7. 33 fine pac'd huishers.= See note 4. 4. 201.
=2. 7. 38 turn'd my good affection.= 'Not diverted or
changed its course; but, as appears from what follows, soured
it.

=2. 8. 9, 10 That was your bed-fellow.= Ingine, perhaps in
anticipation of Fitzdottrel's advancement, employs a term usually
applied to the nobility. Cf. _K. Henry V._ 2. 2. 8:
Nay, but the man that was his bedfellow,
Whom he had cloy'd and grac'd with princely favors.
Steevens in a note on the passage points out that the familiar
appellation of _bedfellow_, which appears strange to us, was
common among the ancient nobility.' He quotes from _A Knack
to know a Knave_, 1594; _Look about you_, 1600; _Cynthia's
Revenge_, 1613; etc.
