heare Now let vs consider the manifold dangers which we make our selues subiect vnto by lending our eares to the counsell of wicked men Salomon saith Can a man carrie fire in his bosome not be burnt Prou. 6.27 No more can we imbrace wicked counsell but we bring dammage vnto our selues As appeareth by the example of Roboam the king of Israel who refused the counsell of the graue and wise ancients who willed him to speake kindly and deale louingly with those that came vnto him but not regarding their counsel he took the aduice of wicked and desperate youths who aduised him to speake roughly or churlishly vnto them saying My least part shal be heauier then my fathers loynes if my father did chastice you with rods 1. Reg. 12. I wil correct you with scourges or scorpions But what followed a lamentable sequell The kingdome of Dauid was rent a sunder and the Tribes of Israel diuided Also we read of the young Prophet being perswaded to eate bread by the old Prophet where the Lord had commanded the contrarie and by that meanes he procured to himselfe a fearefull death 1. King 13. being slaine with a Liō So Michaiah was perswaded by the kings Chamberlaine to speak vnto the king like vnto all the rest of the Prophets who said vnto him by these words let thy words be like vnto theirs and surely he had many reasons to moue him thereunto among the which this might be one speciall reason 1. King 22. that there was 400. Prophets that consented and ioyned together to speake good vnto the king 2. Another reason was this that he was aduised by a great courtier and a man of account but this aboue all might be a sufficient motiue to induce him that to contradict the counsel of so many prophets might cost him his life Exod. 13.2 But Michah had learned this lesion that he must not follow a multitude to do euill and therefore hee returned this answere as the Lord liueth what the Lord speaketh vnto me that will I speake And therfore we are not to follow high nor low young nor old friend nor kinsman any further then is agreeable to the word of our eternall God Nay we are not to follow the godly any further then they follow Christ Phil. 3.17 For Paul biddeth vs to follow him as he was a follower of Christ Then much lesse may we follow the counsel of wicked and prophane men Further let vs heare what that Lord saith by Moses vnto Israel If thy brother Deut. 13. the sonne of thy mother or thine owne sonne or thy daughter or thy wife that lieth in thy bosome or thy friend that is vnto thee as thine own soule intice thee secretly saying Let vs go and serue other Gods c. thou shalt not consent vnto him nor heare him neyther shall thine eye pitie him thy hand shall be first vpon him meaning to see him punished So that we see that wicked counsell specially in the seruice and worship of God must not go scot-free or vnpunished how much lesse are we to suffer our selues to be ledde as captiues by them howsoeuer they seeme to affect vs for it is the policie of Sathan many times to vse those that are neere vnto vs to alienate and draw our hearts from God and that wee should not perfourme those things which the Lord hath commanded vs as it appeareth by the practise of Sathan who vsed Peter the Apostle to stay our Sauiour Christ from Ierusalē as the Euangelist recordeth that when our Sauiour begā to tel his Disciples of his going to Ierusalē and of his suffering there Peter tooke him aside and began to rebuke him saying Master pitie thy selfe this shall not be vnto thee then our Sauiour looked back said vnto him Get thee behind me Sathan thou art an offence vnto me Mat. 16.12.23 because thou vnderstādest not the things that are of God but the things that are of men Againe we may reade in Amos of politike Amazia who gaue counsell vnto the Prophet Amos to flee into the land of Iuda and there to eate his bread and to prophecie vsing these words as a reason to perswade him that it was the Kings chappell and the Kings court Amazia fearing that his prophecying there might be a meanes to turne the King but the Prophet was so farre from hearkening vnto him that hee thundred Gods iudgements against him Amos 7.12.13 saying Thus sayth the Lorde thy wife shall be a harlot in the citie and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall fall by the sword and thy land shall be diuided by lyne and thou shalt die in a polluted land and Israel shall surely go into captiuitie forth out this land Thus if wee will be Christs souldiers and stand for him and the glory of our God let vs set our selues against Sathan and his instruments putting vpon vs our spirituall armour and not fearing them but as Christ commanded vs to learne of him humilitie Matth. 11. so let vs also learne of him courage and boldnesse to resist and reprehend as hee did Peter their wicked counsell who speake vnto vs from Sathan that sent them or els their counsel is carnal 1. Pet. 2. but as Peter saith that fleshly lusts fight against the soule so fleshly counsel fights against the soule and as Salomon saith An angrie countenance driueth away a slaundering tongue Pro. 25. so an angrie rebuke and a sharpe reprehension driueth away a worldly fleshly and diuellish counsellour What gayned Ahab by following the counsell of Iesabel 1. Reg 22. in taking away the vineyard of Naboth surely his reward was death the Lorde meeteth with his wickednesse that he being in his chariot notwithstanding his armour hee was slaine with an arrow which pearced the ioyntes of his brigandyne the like iudgement the Lord inflicted vpon Iehoram his sonne by Iehu 2. Reg. 17. whom the Lord vsed further in the punishing of Iesabel Ahabs counsellour whom he commanded to be cast out of the window and the bellies of hungrie dogs became the sepulchre of her corps And as the Lord recorded the wickednesse of Amelech for opposing himselfe against Israel Exod. 27. so the Lord hath recorded the wickednesse of Ahab Ioram and Iesabel 1. Reg. 21. and sent his Prophet to foretell the iudgements that should ensue What successe had Absolon in following the counsell of Achitophel notwithstanding the scripture reporteth of him to be a man of singular beautie and louelinesse and yet the earth refused any longer to beare him and the heauens would not receiue him and therefore he hanged betwixt heauen earth by the haire of the head whose example may be a looking glasse for all such monsters 1. Reg. 18. who are so in loue with their locks that they bestow more time in trimming of them then in any exercise of religion 2. Sam. 17. and Achitophel his counseller hanged himselfe a iust reward
