[ 1189] The blessed guidance of Gods holy Spirit, to be implored.

MEmorable is that passage betwixt Elisha the Prophet,* 1.1 and Ioash the King of Israel;* 1.2 he directed the hand of the King of Israel to shoot, and the arrow of Gods deliverance followed thereupon; and then, so often as he smote the ground, by the appointment also of the Prophet, so often, and no longer, he had likely∣hood of good successe.* 1.3 Even so, the Spirit, that is it that must direct our tongues and hearts, in all that proceedeth from them; for where that ceaseth to be as a guide,* 1.4 there will that of the Prophet certainly be verified, Every man is a beast by his own knowledge. Hence was it, that the good old Christians sang, Come holy Ghost eternall God,* 1.5 comforter of us all, &c. and so must we, if ever we look for Gods assistance, to go along with our endeavours.
