3. If you would have your Counsels right,1 Let the fear of God be strong in your hearts when you come to counsel. Oh! it's a good thing when any are going to Counsel about matters of consequence, that they would prepare their hearts before they go with the possession of the fear of the great God upon their hearts, and then they will counsel well: you have a notable Scripture for this in Ezra, 10. 3. Come, let us go to do according to the Counsel of my Lord, 2and of those that tremble at the Commandment of our God. It may be there are some that have deeper reaches than they have; I, but have they the fear of God in them? there is hope that they are guided by the Lord, and therefore let us do according to the Counsel of those that tremble at Gods Word; Do you see a man whose heart is possessed with the fear of God and his Word? if his parts be but ordinary you may expect that God will be with him rather than with those that are bold and presumptuous, and slight the Word of God.
