Of Councellours.
An idle or lazy man is unfit for a Counsellour, because he will not take so much pains to consider to the bottom of a cause.
And a Epicure is an unfit man for a Counsellour; for his minde is so set on his delight, as it is buried to all other thoughts.
And a doubtful man is an unfit man for a Counsellour, be∣cause he cannot resolve upon any thing.
And a feareful man is an unfit Counsellour, because he can ne∣ver give a solid opinion for fear of danger. Discord in Coun∣sel many times proves very prejudicial to a state.
