circumstance_n therefore_o wise_a man_n we_o see_v be_v sometime_o infatuate_v take_v a_o foolish_a course_n that_o a_o slander_n by_o who_o be_v far_o inferior_a to_o they_o see_v plain_o this_o to_o

to_o make_v we_o prize_v this_o privilege_n where_o be_v any_o man_n but_o be_v too_o well_o conceit_v of_o his_o own_o wisdom_n but_o to_o think_v god_n be_v only_o wise_a and_o that_o himself_o have_v not_o a_o beam_n nor_o a_o spark_n of_o wisdom_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o persuade_v a_o man_n of_o this_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o lord_n be_v only_o wise_a for_o first_o none_o can_v

in_o practical_a matter_n in_o our_o own_o business_n be_v but_o in_o part_n as_o well_o as_o in_o thing_n heavenly_a beside_o second_o our_o consolation_n depend_v common_o on_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v second_o of_o the_o future_a contingent_a event_n which_o be_v to_o come_v and_o to_o know_v

and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o guide_v ourselves_o it_o be_v say_v col._n 2._o 3._o that_o in_o he_o be_v hide_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o they_o be_v

that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n even_o in_o those_o which_o know_v not_o christ_n it_o come_v all_o from_o he_o as_o joh._n 1._o 5._o the_o light_n shine_v in_o darkness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o

he_o who_o enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o put_v the_o case_n you_o can_v find_v out_o right_a counsel_n or_o you_o have_v a_o man_n like_o achitopel_n who_o counsel_n be_v as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n and_o who_o be_v able_a to_o direct_v you_o yet_o to_o take_v this_o counsel_n be_v not_o in_o your_o own_o power_n it_o must_v be_v give_v you_o that_o which_o solomon_n say_v of_o the_o fool_n he_o have_v a_o price_n in_o his_o hand_n but_o he_o have_v no_o heart_n may_v be_v say_v of_o good_a counsel_n there_o be_v oftentimes_o a_o price_n put_v into_o our_o hand_n as_o be_v into_o absolon_n and_o rehoboam_n hand_n but_o we_o be_v not_o able_a of_o ourselves_o to_o take_v it_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o timothy_n 2_o tim._n 2._o 7._o have_v 7._o counsel_v he_o what_o to_o do_v consider_v what_o i_o say_v and_o the_o lord_n give_v thou_o understanding_n in_o all_o thing_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v give_v thou_o

this_o counsel_n and_o enable_v thou_o to_o apply_v it_o and_o take_v it_o nemo_fw-la per_fw-la se_fw-la sapit_fw-la no_o man_n by_o himself_o be_v able_a to_o counsel_v himself_o there_o must_v be_v both_o a_o secret_a light_n and_o eye_n within_o to_o direct_v we_o many_o time_n we_o refuse_v the_o best_a and_o pitch_n upon_o the_o worst_a jer._n 10._o 23._o the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v not_o

and_o aim_v at_o happiness_n but_o how_o to_o direct_v their_o step_n and_o to_o attain_v that_o end_n it_o be_v not_o in_o they_o therefore_o lord_n i_o beseech_v thou_o say_v he_o to_o guide_v we_o

at_o a_o stand_n at_o every_o turn_n we_o come_v at_o and_o like_o a_o man_n in_o a_o wilderness_n know_v not_o which_o way_n to_o go_v except_o we_o have_v a_o guide_n at_o every_o step_n dan._n 5._o 23._o he_o be_v the_o god_n in_o who_o hand_n thy_o breath_n be_v and_o all_o thy_o way_n 23._o &c_n &c_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n we_o do_v not_o consider_v we_o think_v indeed_o our_o life_n be_v

a_o man_n take_v not_o a_o step_n either_o into_o good_a or_o evil_n into_o prosperity_n or_o adversity_n but_o the_o lord_n guide_v that_o step_n therefore_o consider_v your_o great_a privilege_n who_o have_v the_o lord_n for_o your_o head_n your_o guide_n and_o your_o counsellor_n and_o as_o you_o must_v know_v this_o privilege_n so_o you_o must_v make_v use_n of_o it_o for_o all_o those_o our_o privilege_n we_o have_v in_o christ_n be_v not_o declare_v that_o you_o shall_v gaze_v upon_o they_o only_o know_v they_o and_o no_o more_o therefore_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o counsel_n wisdom_n and_o direction_n upon_o all_o occasion_n you_o will_v say_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o obtain_v it_o for_o this_o i_o will_v give_v you_o these_o rule_n quest._n first_o thou_o
