A93269	The true Christians path way to heaven Wherein is shewed, the great afflictions which God imposeth upon His children in this life, and the assurance of their delivery out of the same. Being very profitable and comfortable for all those who are in any crosses or afflictions. Thereunto is added a prayer for morning and evening, and graces before and after meat. Dedicated to all those that desire to arrive at Mount Sion, the harbour of peace and joy. By William Simons.	Simons, William, fl. 1665.	1665 (1665)	Wing S3805B; ESTC R231571	10,852	29

they_o affliction_n do_v over-cloud_n it_o cross_n do_v dim_v it_o trouble_n do_v shadow_v it_o there_o be_v a_o interposition_n of_o the_o earth_n between_o the_o sight_n and_o it_o but_o this_o be_v

for_o there_o be_v no_o rod_n no_o cross_n nor_o no_o chastisement_n but_o all_o in_o the_o end_n have_v a_o bless_a and_o happy_a issue_n for_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o true_a there_o be_v
