Let us only understand this, when David sayeth, that all his pleasure was in the commandments of GOD, that we (after his example) must do the like. He added,
Let vs onely vnderstand this, when Dauid sayeth, that all his pleasure was in the commaundementes of GOD, that we (after his example) must doe the like. Hee added,
They are my Counsellors. Lo here a sentence worthy to be weighed of us, when David calleth the commandments of God his counsellors: for in the first place he meaneth, that he might scorn at all the wisdom of the most able and most expert men in the world, how goodly and gay shows soever their counsels seem to be to those, which so exceedingly commend them, and are also commended of all in that he was conducted by the word of God, & governed thereby. Lo what he meaneth here by the first point.
They are my Councellers. Loe here a sentence worthy to be wayed of vs, when Dauid calleth the commaundements of God his counsaylers: for in the first place he meaneth, that he might scorne at all the wisedome of the most able and most expert men in the worlde, howe goodly and gay shewes soeuer their counsailes seeme to be to those, which so exceedingly commend them, and are also commended of all in that he was conducted by the word of God, & gouerned therby. Lo what he meaneth here by the first point.
The second is, That when he shall be so governed by the word of God, he might not only say that he was truly wise, but that it was so much, as if he had all the wisdom of all the men in the world, yea and a great deal more, put even in one man. When any one man mistrusteth his own wit, he will ask counsel, and arm him self the better, and when he shall have used such counsel, as every one shall soundly give him, he will hold him self a great deal the better resolved.
