382. On Counsel.

1

Christ is a Counsellour, directing still
His Clients, how to manage and transact
All their designs according to the Will
And Law of God; his wisdom can effect
Great things, in Heavens decrees he is well read,
He knows our state and case, and how to plead.

2

Christ faithful is, to tell the naked truth,
And if the cause be bad, he will not plead it.
Bribes cannot blind his eyes, nor stop his mouth;
Men slight his peoples cause, but he doth heed it.
Though he be offer'd by the Prince of Hell,
All the Worlds glory, souls he will not sell.

3

Christ he is the best spoken Counsellour,
Never man spake in Earths rotundity
So sweetly; and with such convincing power,
And so authoritatively as he.
Christ Jesus doth all Counsellours surpass,
If he plead for us, happy is our case.

4

He that acts nothing but with good advise,
Need not repent him when the deed is past;
Who rashly sets upon an enterprise,
Repents by leisure what was done in haste.
Fond Epimetheus locks the Stable dore,
When the Steed's stole, Prometheus before.
208

5

Figulus having lost the Consulship,
Thus to his friends then comforting him, spake,
All (now you see my honour from me slip)
Can give me counsel, but ye cannot make
Me Consul: if we could events foresee,
Great evils timely might prevented be.
