3. Look when a man and in time of danger and trouble, not so much trust unto the Lord, as unto an arm of flesh for safety and deliverance, then he is said to depart from God, Jer. 17. 5. Thus saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord: For a man in time of trouble to rest upon an arm of flesh, and not upon the Lord himself. Why, this is to depart from God in Scripture Language.
Now it is a dangerous thing so to do.
For thereby a man doth depart from his life, in departing from 1God, he doth depart from his own life: For God is a Living God, saith the Text here: Take heed least there be in any of you an evil heart of Unbelief, in departing from the Living God: Departing from God, then a man doth depart from his life: Take away God and I am no body saith one: A true speech, take away the Living God, and where's our life?
