With Kings.] The word here used, properly noteth such as rule by Law, such as are opposed to Tyrants,1 who rule according to the dictates of their own will. With such Kings Counsellors are usually joined; With Kings and Counsellors of the earth. Great Princes have their Councils, and it is a happy conjunction when good Kings and good Counsellors meet together. Yea many times bad men are good Kings, when they are attended with good Counsellors: Whereas evil Counsellors often make a good man a bad King, and by their poisonous whispers and instillations at the ear, corrupt the hearts, and taint the spirits of the best Princes. In the multitude of Counsellors (saith Solomon, Prov 15.21.) there is safety. The safety of Kings, and the safety of Kingdoms, doth consist in following this multitude. Where there are good Counsellors, and a multitude of them, we may expect good, and much good, a multitude of blessings upon a Nation.
