Secondly, Men ought to acknowledge God, because he doth require, 1and Command them so to do: it is their Duty to do it; and their great Sin that do not seek to him: Brethren, what Blessing can Man expect to meet with in their undertakings, that asked not Counsel of the Lord: How were the People of Israel blamed and punished, for doing some things without asking Counsel of him? Josh. 9. 14. But they asked not counsel at the mouth of God. It was about making Peace with them that they were commanded to Destroy, and not to make a Covenant of Peace with: God also pronounced a Woe to his People, for their neglect herein; Woe to the rebellious Children, saith the Lord, that take Counsel▪ but not of me, &c. Isa. 30. 1. that walked to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, verse 2.
