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 most_o certain_o true_a all_o the_o best_a be_v behind_o the_o sweet_a be_v to_o come_v their_o happiness_n do_v not_o appear_v in_o this_o life_n it_o be_v hide_v with_o god_n in_o christ_n when_o christ_n appear_v then_o shall_v they_o also_o appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o they_o shall_v be_v but_o when_o he_o come_v they_o shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o he_o their_o name_n be_v already_o take_v and_o enter_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o one_o day_n they_o shall_v be_v crown_v one_o day_n it_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o they_o come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n receive_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n one_o day_n they_o shall_v enjoy_v his_o presence_n where_o be_v fullness_n of_o joy_n and_o at_o who_o right_a hand_n there_o be_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o well_o then_o let_v all_o god_n secret_a one_o rejoice_v and_o be_v merry_a however_o in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v tread_v underfoot_o and_o walk_v like_o shadow_n and_o count_v the_o very_a ract_n and_o abject_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o the_o time_n will_v come_v when_o their_o happiness_n and_o felicity_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o never_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n for_o it_o shall_v be_v endless_a unspeakable_a and_o inconceivable_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o god_n child_n shall_v be_v too_o much_o cast_v down_o in_o their_o affliction_n for_o though_o they_o be_v not_o free_a from_o all_o affliction_n yet_o they_o be_v free_a from_o hurtful_a affliction_n 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 no_o cross_n nor_o affliction_n which_o god_n impose_v upon_o his_o child_n in_o this_o life_n but_o if_o they_o endure_v it_o quiet_o and_o trust_v in_o his_o mercy_n firm_o and_o tarry_v his_o good_a leisure_n obedient_o it_o all_o come_v to_o a_o comfortable_a and_o bless_a end_n and_o therefore_o god_n child_n may_v rejoice_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o affliction_n and_o patient_o kiss_v his_o holy_a rod_n see_v it_o be_v his_o good_a pleasere_fw-la i_o be_o willing_a withal_o see_v he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o i_o be_o well_o content_a as_o old_a eli_n say_v 1_o sam._n 3.18_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v with_o i_o what_o he_o will_v and_o as_o david_n say_v in_o a_o certain_a case_n 2_o sam_n 15.26_o behold_v here_o i_o be_o do_v with_o i_o as_o seem_v best_a in_o thy_o own_o eye_n and_o again_o david_n say_v in_o psal_n 39.9_o behold_v i_o be_v dumb_a and_o open_v not_o my_o mouth_n for_o thou_o lord_n have_v do_v it_o behold_v here_o the_o patience_n of_o god_n child_n and_o their_o humble_a submission_n to_o his_o most_o holy_a will_n they_o know_v all_o shall_v end_v well_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n god_n child_n be_v happy_a in_o what_o state_n soever_o they_o be_v in_o happy_a in_o trouble_n happy_a out_o of_o trouble_n bless_v in_o sickness_n bless_v in_o health_n bless_v at_o home_n and_o bless_v abroad_o and_o every_o where_o bless_v the_o next_o be_v a_o use_n of_o reproof_n first_o of_o all_o it_o reprove_v those_o that_o when_o any_o cross_a or_o affliction_n befall_v they_o they_o fall_v to_o curse_v and_o swear_v and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o any_o curse_v or_o curse_a person_n shall_v be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o bless_a head_n christ_n jesus_n who_o have_v express_o forbid_v we_o to_o curse_v as_o in_o mat._n 5._o luk._n 6._o rom._n 10._o where_o he_o say_v bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o despitful_o use_v you_o it_o be_v say_v of_o all_o they_o that_o accustom_v themselves_o to_o curse_v psal_n 109.17_o they_o delight_v in_o curse_v therefore_o it_o shall_v happen_v to_o they_o they_o love_v not_o blessing_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o they_o it_o be_v say_v ecclesiasticus_fw-la 23.13_o the_o plague_n shall_v never_o depart_v from_o the_o house_n of_o the_o swearer_n and_o therefore_o if_o ever_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n give_v yourselves_o to_o blessing_n and_o prayer_n a_o and_o then_o you_o shall_v have_v that_o bless_a welcome_n mat._n 25.34_o come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n receive_v the_o kingdom_n it_o serve_v to_o reprove_v all_o those_o who_o be_v in_o affliction_n do_v make_v great_a protestation_n they_o will_v become_v new_a creature_n and_o yet_o so_o soon_o as_o their_o affliction_n be_v over_o they_o become_v as_o hard_o heart_a and_o miserable_a as_o before_o like_a as_o the_o 9_o leper_n who_o be_v cleanse_v return_v to_o their_o old_a bias_n again_o and_o as_o st._n peter_n say_v the_o dog_n that_o vomit_v be_v return_v to_o his_o vomit_n again_o the_o
