6. Have you any other to depend upon? Every creature (naturally) is in a 1state of dependency; it is weak and wanting, and an insufficiency to it self, and therefore it must lean upon some stronger prop than it self. And do not you find it so with your selves? find you no wants at all? can you be a sufficiency unto your selves under those wants? will any or can any but God supply the wants of the people of God? Most of your wants are above all Creature helps.
