wise_a man_n say_n deserve_v the_o hee_n 2._o but_o there_o be_v more_o than_o this_o to_o be_v consider_v touch_v solomon_n for_o he_o write_v this_o proverb_n as_o he_o do_v many_o other_o by_o

wise_a man_n by_o direction_n from_o god_n acquaint_v we_o in_o this_o text_n with_o two_o thing_n 1_o with_o that_o unavoidable_a hurt_n and_o damage_n which_o befall_v a_o people_n destitute_a of_o

it_o be_v that_o the_o giant_n speak_v of_o gen._n 6._o 4._o be_v call_v nephilim_n as_o be_v apostate_n fall_v from_o god_n by_o their_o impiety_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o fall_v it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 1._o cor._n 10._o 12._o let_v he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v 2_o there_o be_v a_o fall_n under_o judgement_n for_o sin_n commit_v against_o

will_v bear_v both_o these_o acceptation_n where_o there_o be_v no_o counsel_n the_o people_n fall_v both_o into_o sin_n and_o misery_n but_o i_o take_v it_o in_o the_o late_a sense_n especial_o they_o fall_v into_o utter_a ruin_n into_o unspeakable_a misery_n the_o benefit_n or_o advantage_n that_o come_v to_o a_o nation_n or_o people_n by_o much_o counsel_n be_v call_v safety_n which_o word_n original_o comprise_v all_o manner_n of_o safety_n both_o corporal_a and_o spiritual_a both_o from_o sin_n and_o misery_n there_o be_v two_o entire_a proposition_n in_o the_o text._n 1_o where_o no_o counsel_n be_v the_o people_n fall_v 2_o in_o the_o multitude_n of_o counsellor_n there_o be_v safety_n the_o one_o of_o these_o proposition_n illustrate_v the_o other_o no_o counsel_n

doct._n that_o the_o prosperity_n or_o adversity_n of_o a_o people_n depend_v very_o much_o upon_o their_o counsellor_n and_o counsel_n i_o know_v you_o will_v expect_v before_o i_o proceed_v to_o

through_o my_o benignity_n as_o likewise_o by_o my_o justice_n i_o be_o author_n of_o affliction_n punishment_n and_o calamity_n for_o so_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v evil_a here_o the_o evil_a of_o

nation_n and_o concern_v a_o kingdom_n to_o build_v and_o to_o plant_v it_o the_o lord_n you_o see_v ascribe_v both_o these_o to_o himself_o so_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v determine_v by_o no_o cause_n but_o determine_v all_o cause_n be_v the_o universal_a and_o particular_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n yet_o god_n do_v oft_o time_n work_v mediate_o or_o by_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n and_o this_o he_o do_v not_o for_o want_v of_o power_n for_o he_o be_v el-shaddai_a the_o almighty_a god_n gen._n 17._o 1._o but_o that_o through_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o
