be_v that_o counsel_n expos_fw-la what_o why_o it_o be_v this_o counsel_n 1._o the_o counsel_n that_o be_v between_o jeroboam_n &_o his_o prince_n and_o the_o priest_n together_o with_o some_o eminent_a of_o the_o people_n for_o the_o set_n up_o of_o the_o way_n of_o false_a worship_n and_o second_o for_o the_o force_n of_o all_o man_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o ten_o tribe_n to_o forbear_v go_v to_o jerusalem_n this_o be_v think_v a_o notable_a plot_n a_o notable_a counsel_n they_o think_v this_o be_v the_o only_a counsel_n to_o keep_v thing_n in_o peace_n among_o they_o why_o say_v they_o if_o we_o shall_v suffer_v man_n that_o every_o one_o that_o have_v a_o fancy_n in_o his_o head_n that_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n we_o shall_v have_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v such_o a_o course_n that_o people_n shall_v have_v a_o place_n to_o worship_n in_o that_o they_o worship_v thus_o it_o be_v but_o only_o some_o people_n that_o be_v so_o strict_a that_o they_o must_v needs_o worship_v in_o jerusalem_n religion_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o determine_v this_o that_o we_o will_v have_v a_o constant_a way_n that_o every_o one_o shall_v be_v bind_v unto_o and_o we_o will_v have_v no_o more_o go_v to_o this_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n but_o they_o shall_v be_v content_a to_o worship_v at_o dan_n and_o bethel_n and_o this_o will_v keep_v thing_n in_o peace_n now_o this_o counsel_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o fine_a plot_n to_o keep_v thing_n in_o order_n but_o say_v the_o lord_n they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o though_o they_o think_v they_o have_v wise_a man_n that_o do_v thus_o advise_v sage_a man_n and_o some_o man_n it_o may_v be_v that_o seem_v to_o have_v some_o good_a in_o they_o too_o and_o stand_v for_o peace_n thus_o it_o be_v a_o counsel_n cry_v up_o mighty_o yet_o the_o lord_n he_o sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o laugh_v at_o this_o counsel_n and_o say_v he_o they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o counsel_n perhaps_o now_o whilst_o they_o be_v let_v go_v on_o and_o carry_v all_o before_o they_o they_o bless_v themselves_o in_o their_o counsel_n and_o think_v it_o be_v a_o very_a excellent_a plot_n and_o god_n favour_v it_o but_o when_o my_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o they_o shall_v see_v what_o evil_a it_o bring_v upon_o they_o than_o they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o counsel_n from_o thence_o there_o be_v these_o two_o note_n first_o 1._o that_o man_n own_o counsel_n bring_v they_o to_o shame_n especial_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n second_o 2._o that_o man_n be_v strong_a in_o their_o own_o counsel_n till_o they_o see_v some_o eminent_a evil_a to_o come_v of_o they_o and_o then_o they_o will_v be_v convince_v and_o ashamed_a but_o not_o before_o to_o speak_v a_o little_a of_o each_o of_o these_o man_n own_o counsel_n bring_v shame_n to_o they_o doct._n especial_o in_o religion_n for_o man_n natural_o be_v very_o blind_a in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n they_o do_v not_o see_v far_o in_o they_o man_n heart_n be_v full_a of_o corruption_n they_o be_v bias_v by_o their_o corruption_n see_v there_o be_v much_o self-love_n in_o man_n if_o there_o be_v any_o appearance_n that_o be_v man_n own_o 1._o that_o be_v much_o regard_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o truth_n that_o be_v another_o man_n if_o it_o be_v their_o own_o they_o mind_n that_o but_o let_v another_o man_n speak_v that_o which_o have_v truth_n that_o be_v little_o regard_v there_o be_v in_o man_n heart_n much_o violence_n to_o maintain_v their_o own_o counsel_n and_o therefore_o very_a like_o that_o their_o counsel_n will_v bring_v they_o to_o shame_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o man_n can_v bear_v to_o be_v contradict_v in_o less_o than_o in_o their_o counsel_n and_o the_o more_o man_n be_v set_v upon_o their_o own_o counsel_n the_o more_o it_o be_v like_a to_o bring_v shame_n in_o the_o conclusion_n and_o beside_o 2._o there_o be_v a_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o man_n spirit_n that_o if_o they_o will_v set_v upon_o their_o own_o counsel_n i_o say_v there_o be_v ordinary_o a_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o man_n to_o leave_v they_o to_o folly_n when_o they_o rest_v upon_o their_o own_o counsel_n and_o it_o be_v threaten_v in_o psal_n 81._o 12._o as_o a_o great_a jugment_v of_o god_n upon_o man_n 12_o to_o give_v they_o up_o to_o their_o counsel_n say_v god_n they_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o my_o counsel_n therefore_o do_v i_o give_v they_o up_o to_o their_o own_o counsel_n oh_o it_o be_v a_o terrible_a place_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v of_o it_o these_o be_v time_n wherein_o every_o one_o be_v plot_v oh_o tremble_v at_o that_o text_n i_o give_v they_o up_o unto_o their_o own_o counsel_n man_n own_o counsel_n bring_v they_o to_o shame_n often_o time_n they_o come_v to_o nothing_o after_o they_o have_v make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o do_v and_o they_o will_v do_v this_o and_o they_o will_v go_v on_o at_o length_n it_o come_v to_o nothing_o so_o that_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o sit_v down_o and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o their_o labour_n and_o stir_v perhaps_o they_o have_v labour_v to_o put_v on_o their_o counsel_n by_o much_o evil_n much_o sin_n much_o heart_n burn_v and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o all_o there_o it_o lie_v there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o it_o thus_o they_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o counsel_n prelate_n yea_o many_o time_n the_o counsel_n of_o man_n work_v quite_o contrary_a god_n do_v much_o glory_n in_o this_o in_o make_v use_n of_o man_n own_o counsel_n to_o bring_v
