as Rehoboar, laid

Confcience, in this

my
carnali friends

thus
;
mine

4. The
fourth
ufe
is
to
reprove the
cufrome
of
mofl:
men,
who with Ahab refute the
counfel
of
that
one true wholefome
Prophet,
and have
four
hundred
other
counfellours
who
will
give counfel
as
they
would
have
it
:
They regard
not
this
good
Micaiah,
they
flight
the
counfel
of
confcience
their
!Lifts
and
their
carnal! reafon and
fleíh and
blood
are
their
counfellours;
The counfel
of
confcience,
they
fay,
is
not good
at
this
time,
as
he
faid
of
Achitophels
:
They will hear confcience
at another time,
but
not
now.
But
take
heed, for
if
you
rejec
the
counfel
of
confcience,
it
is
becaufe
the
Lord
hath
a
purpofe
to
deftroy
you.
