Temporal; outward wants pinch hard also upon many of Gods People: the greatest number of them consist of the Poor of this World, Jam. 2.5. Those whose Souls are discharged and acquitted by God, whose Debts are paid by Jesus Christ, may yet be entangled in a brake of Cares and Troubles in the World, and not know which way to turn themselves in their straits and difficulties. But by death the Saints pass from all their wants inward and outward to a state of complete satisfaction, where nothing is lacking: from that day all their Spiritual wants are supplied, for they are now arrived to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, to a perfect man, Eph. 4.13. Now that which is perfect is come, and all that was in part is done •way, 1 Cor. 13.10.
