12
But be continually with a godly man, whom thou knowest to keep the commandments of the Lord, whose, mind is according to thy mind, and will sorrow with thee, if thou shalt miscarry.
13
And let the counsel of thine own heart stand: for there is no man more faithful unto thee than it.

For a man's mind is sometime wont to tell him more than seven watchmen, that sit above in an high tower.

And above all this pray to the most High, that he will direct thy way in truth.
16
Let reason go before every enterprise, and counsel before every action.
