Proverbs28:26
Verſ. 26. He that truſteth to his own heart is a fool] He that ſaith, Conſilii ſatis eſt in me mihi, I am wiſe enough to order my own buſineſs, and need no advice of others, ſeek no ſucceſs from above (Ajax acknowledged no other God but his ſword, Polyphemus but his belly) this man is a fool, a proud fool, and he ſhall be ſure to be hampered.
But whoſe walketh wiſely] Taking others into counſel, and God above all, as David, I will hearken, ſaith he, what the Lord God ſaith unto mee: He ſhall be delivered, either from trouble, or in it: either with an outward or an inward deliverance. He ſhall enjoy a bleſſed compoſedneſs, a ſweet Sabbath of ſpirit howſoever, being mediis tranquillus in undis, as Noah was, &c.
