The Lord will not, &c. Poor Christians be in better estate Doct. then wealthy wicked men, even in respect of bodily provision 1and maintenance. Such a comparison is made Psal. 34. 10. that lions, that is, mighty, strong, and boisterous men suffer hunger, and sustain want (as was notably seen in the case of Nebuchadnezzar, who in the middest of his greatest power, his ⟨p. 54⟩[…] ⟨p. 55⟩[…] ⟨p. 56⟩ample dominions, and large possessions, was yet turned a grassing like a beast, amongst the beasts) But they that seek the Lord shall want nothing that is good. They may sometimes be without that which they wish for, because they may wish for that which will not well agree with their safety. But whatsoever is good, and there need requireth it, that shall undoubtedly be ministered unto them.
