And this is a Note of very great use in all our conditions, let us not lay so much weight upon any Work of God as upon the Word of God, let us build upon the Word rather than fear the Works, for it hath been the usual way of God when he hath given out a Word, that his Works have seemed to go quite cross, as not only in our father Jacob, but even in our father Abraham, What was the Word of God to Abraham? There was two promises by God made to Abraham, one was this, 1That he would bring him into a Land that flowed with milk and honey. And a second, That he would make his seed as the Stars in the Firmament. Well, here was Gods ⟨p. 241⟩Word, But how was Gods Work? The very next thing that you hear of him, he was carried into Canaan, after he had left all his friends and was ready to starve presently, now the word is, Thou shalt be brought into a Land that flows with milk and bony; and as soon as ever he comes into that Land he was ready to starve. Here's a Land indeed!
