For application of this point,
1. The best care that can be must be taken for good intelligence: that the purposes and plots of enemies may be prevented in the beginning before they come to any maturity. Gods care in giving extraordinary intelligence by his Prophet to the King of Israel, of his enemies projects, ⟨p. 208⟩1giveth evidence that it is a point of wisdom to get by all lawful means what intelligence we can. The advice which David gave to Hushai concerning intelligence was not unlawful, 2but very useful, as the issue proveth. David was oft preserved by that intelligence which he had of Sauls purposes against him.
