For the State.
AS where no soueraigntie, so vvhere no counsell is,* 1.1 the people fall; and contrarily, where many Counsellers are,* 1.2 there is health; and more then health, Stedfastnes: Counsel for the soule,* 1.3 Where no vision is,* 1.4 the people perish: which requires both holi∣nesse and wisedome: The fruit of the righteous is as a tree of life,* 1.5 and hee that vvinneth soules is
is vvise;* 1.6and the more vvise the Preacher (is) the more hee tea∣cheth the people knovvledge, and causeth them to heare, and searcheth forth, and prepareth many parables: & not only an vp∣right writing (& speaking) euen the word of truth;* 1.7but pleasant words also;* 1.8so that the sweetness of the lips increaseth doctrine; & not more delightfull, then effectual: for,* 1.9 The wordes of the wise are like goades, and nayles fastned by the masters of the assemblies, that are giuen by one Pastour: which againe, of euery hearer, chal∣lenge due reuerence & regard; who must take heed to his foot,* 1.10 when he entreth into the house of God, and bee more neere to heare,
thē to giue the sacrifice of fooles: for, He that despiseth the word,* 1.11 shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commaundement, shall be rewarded.
