A resolu∣tion taken after all these meanes used, as in Gods presence, without prejudice, with a sincere de∣sire to know and bee informed of Gods will, and obey it, may be taken for the voice of God at pre∣sent, and ought to direct the practise, though it binde not the conscience to embrace the things resolved for an infallible and onely the most pro∣bable direction. And the truth is, that unlesse this advise and resolution by Christian wisedome, ap∣plying the generall rules of Gods word to our owne particular case after wee have sought coun∣sell of God, and our Christian friends may be ad∣mitted for a rule to direct our practise, I know not what rule to prescribe to bee followed. Sup∣pose I would marry a wife, nothing but Christian wisedome so assisted, as is expressed before, can shew mee which is the woman.0
