We know that Ben Jonson was a close friend of Shakespeare, because Ben Jonson discussed talked at length about Shakespeare (both as a man and as a writer) in 'Discoveries' (a sort of blog that Jonson published late in life) and in his 'Conversations with William Drummond of Hawthornden' (a record of several conversations he had with a Scottish friend).
Jonson's most famous comment about Shakespeare is that he 'loved the man (this side idolatry)'.
After Shakespeare's death, when his colleagues John Heminge and Henry Condell assembled a complete plays (The First Folio - Shakespeare never published a collected edition during his lifetime) they asked Ben Jonson to write the dedicatory poem. (Ben Jonson: 'To the Reader' - First Folio).
There are many other testimonies to Jonson's close friendship with Shakespeare. But Jonson's own words are the best evidence.
