Whether counsel is only of things that we do?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that counsel is not only of things that we do. For counsel implies some kind of conference. But it is possible for many to confer about things that are not subject to movement, and are not the result of our actions, such as the nature of various things. Therefore counsel is not only of things that we do.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, men sometimes seek counsel about things that are laid down by law; hence we speak of counsel at law. And yet those who seek counsel thus, have nothing to do in making the laws. Therefore counsel is not only of things that we do.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, some are said to take consultation about future events; which, however, are not in our power. Therefore counsel is not only of things that we do.

❌ Objection 4 : Further, if counsel were only of things that we do, no would take counsel about what another does. But this is clearly untrue. Therefore counsel is not only of things that we do.
