Seasonable truths in evil-times in several sermons / lately preached in and about London

12. Take heed how you consult with Flesh and Blood in the things of God. If Paul had consulted with Flesh and Blood, he had never believed: And if in the things of God we consult with Flesh and Blood, we are sure to depart from God, the living God.

13. Put your selves often unto this disjunction. Come O my soul, either there is enough in God alone, or there is not: If there be not enough in God alone, how do they live in Heaven? They have no meat, no drink, no clothes, no gold nor silver: As the Martyr said, I am going to that Country where your gold and silver will not go, (when they offered him gold and silver) Alas, our gold and silver doth not go there; As leather money will not go here where gold and silver goes: So our gold and silver will not go there: if there be not enough in God alone, how do you think they live in Heaven? Surely they live upon God. Therefore ⟨p. 230⟩there is enough in God: Well, if there be enough in God alone, O my Soul, Why should I depart from God? All departure doth signify an insufficiency. I leave this house, and go to another, because this house is not sufficient. When I am sick I send to my neighbour for Beer, why? because my Beer don't like me. The Bee leaves one flower, and goes to another, because it doth not find enough in that flower: all departing notes an insufficiency. If I depart from God, it notes an insufficiency in God: Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that ye are gone down to Baal-zephon? Well, either there is enough in God alone, O my soul, or there is not: If there be not enough in God alone, then how do they live in Heaven? If there be enough in God alone, then why should I depart from God through unbelief? Thus put your selves upon this Dilemma, and it will be a means to keep you from departing from God through your unbelief.

They have no meat, no drink, no clothes, no gold nor silver: As the Martyr said, I am going to that Country where your gold and silver will not go, (when they offered him gold and silver) Alass, our gold and silver doth not go there; As leather mony will not go here where gold and silver goes: So our gold and silver will not go there: if there be not enough in God alone, how do you think they live in Heaven? Surely they live upon God. Therefore
