We see the way of carnal hearts at this very day.1 What helps do they send for but creature helps? Therefore (my brethren) let us not fear them much; Let us not fear our adversaries much, for their strength is in the arm of flesh: & we know they take no other course but to strengthen themselves in the creature; they know no other help; they little mind God in all their ways; Let them have what they will, yet pray they cannot, they have little heart to go unto God; they curse and swear, yea and tell us, that it was never worse with them than when they prayed most: Therefore all their help is on this side Heaven, therefore not much to be feared: They have that carnality of heart in them as was here in Ephraim and Judah, when they were a people to be destroyed, then they were given over by God to seek out for help only in the ⟨p. 492⟩creature, to go to the Assyrian and to send to King Jareb.
