Psal. 84. 6. The way to Zion, it was through the valley of Baca: they might have said, We could 1have been content to go to Zion, and to worship God there, but we must go through that valley, of tears; but they were content to go through that valley, so that they might appear before God in Zion: Surely when God moves the hearts of men to join with his people, a little difficulty cannot hinder them: Isaiah 66. 20. They shall bring your brethren as an offering ⟨p. 275⟩to the Lord, upon horses, in Chariots, and Litters. A Litter is used especially for weak sickly people, that are not able to travel otherwise; although they be weakly, and sickly, unfit to travel, yet they whose hearts God moves, will rather come in Litters, then not at all. What difficulty will superstition put a man upon?
