apple_n of_o gold_n in_o picture_n of_o silver_n as_o be_v a_o word_n speak_v in_o season_n it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n that_o he_o bear_v the_o yoke_n in_o his_o youth_n in_o which_o word_n there_o be_v two_o general_a part_n i._o somewhat_o impose_v or_o require_v as_o matter_n of_o duty_n viz._n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n in_o his_o youth_n ii_o somewhat_o propose_v or_o offer_v as_o matter_n of_o encouragement_n viz._n it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n so_o to_o do_v the_o latter_a make_v way_n for_o the_o more_o cheerful_a performance_n of_o the_o former_a as_o we_o sweeten_v bitter_a pill_n to_o our_o child_n that_o they_o may_v swallow_v they_o the_o better_a such_o be_v god_n condescension_n here_o to_o young_a one_o know_v how_o backward_o youth_n be_v to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n he_o be_v please_v to_o court_n and_o allure_v they_o to_o it_o by_o assure_v they_o that_o it_o be_v their_o own_o good_a and_o benefit_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o the_o word_n be_v thus_o divide_v there_o remain_v only_o one_o thing_n needful_a to_o be_v clear_v before_o i_o lay_v down_o the_o doctrine_n and_o that_o be_v the_o word_n yoke_n a_o hard_a and_o heavy_a word_n grievous_a for_o green_a head_n what_o may_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o answ_n the_o yoke_n in_o scripture_n be_v take_v two_o way_n 1._o in_o a_o material_a and_o 2._o in_o a_o mystical_a sense_n a_o material_a yoke_n be_v a_o instrument_n make_v of_o wood_n or_o iron_n serve_v to_o tame_v and_o subdue_v the_o creature_n for_o the_o use_n of_o man_n deut._n 21._o 3._o compare_v with_o 1_o king_n 19_o 10._o which_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n in_o this_o place_n for_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o beast_n only_o but_o here_o in_o the_o text_n we_o read_v of_o a_o yoke_n for_o a_o man_n to_o bear_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v look_v far_o viz._n to_o the_o mystical_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o herein_o i_o find_v in_o scripture_n a_o threefold_a yoke_n speak_v of_o 1._o the_o yoke_n of_o relation_n 2._o the_o yoke_n of_o affliction_n 3._o the_o yoke_n of_o religion_n 1._o the_o yoke_n of_o relation_n as_o that_o between_o husband_n and_o wife_n they_o be_v call_v yoke-fellow_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n give_v advice_n to_o christian_n who_o be_v enter_v into_o this_o relation_n make_v use_n of_o this_o word_n be_v not_o say_v he_o unequal_o yoke_v with_o unbeliever_n 2_o cor._n 6._o 14._o but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n here_o in_o my_o text_n for_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o any_o too_o early_o in_o their_o youth_n to_o take_v this_o yoke_n upon_o they_o and_o i_o may_v say_v of_o many_o that_o have_v be_v too_o eager_a too_o early_o in_o court_v and_o covet_v to_o come_v under_o this_o yoke_n what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o another_o case_n of_o those_o that_o make_v too_o much_o haste_n to_o be_v rich_a they_o fall_v into_o temptation_n and_o a_o snare_n and_o into_o many_o foolish_a and_o hurtful_a lust_n which_o drown_v man_n in_o destruction_n and_o perdition_n 1_o tim._n 6._o 9_o moreover_o the_o scripture_n use_v this_o word_n yoke_n in_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o his_o master_n let_v as_o many_o servant_n as_o be_v under_o the_o yoke_n count_v their_o master_n worthy_a of_o all_o honour_n 1_o tim._n 6._o 1._o now_o this_o indeed_o be_v good_a but_o not_o the_o thing_n intend_v in_o the_o text._n 2._o the_o yoke_n of_o affliction_n so_o the_o word_n be_v frequent_o use_v in_o scripture_n deut._n 28._o 48._o leu._n 26._o 13._o isa_n 9_o 4._o and_o here_o in_o this_o book_n our_o weep_a prophet_n set_v forth_o the_o grievous_a affliction_n and_o calamity_n that_o god_n have_v bring_v upon_o his_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o fierce_a anger_n call_v they_o by_o this_o name_n yoke_n lam._n 1._o 14._o the_o yoke_n of_o my_o transgression_n be_v bind_v by_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v the_o affliction_n bring_v upon_o i_o by_o my_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v one_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n here_o in_o my_o text_n and_o undoubted_o this_o be_v a_o yoke_n that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n to_o bear_v in_o his_o youth_n in_o this_o age_n the_o alwise_a god_n see_v it_o needful_a to_o put_v on_o this_o yoke_n to_o tame_v the_o pride_n and_o fetch_v out_o the_o folly_n that_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o young_a people_n and_o how_o hard_o soever_o it_o may_v be_v to_o bear_v yet_o it_o certain_o be_v good_a for_o they_o youth_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o run_v astray_o like_o a_o unruly_a headstrong_a bullock_n that_o a_o yoke_n be_v of_o singular_a use_n to_o reduce_v and_o restrain_v they_o and_o this_o david_n find_v true_a by_o bless_a experience_n before_o i_o be_v afflict_v say_v he_o i_o go_v astray_o but_o now_o have_v i_o keep_v they_o word_n psal_n 119._o 67._o and_o hence_o he_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o same_o psalm_n it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o

of_o god_n give_v themselves_o over_o to_o pride_n and_o pleasure_n until_o the_o yoke_n of_o strait_n and_o affliction_n have_v be_v put_v on_o their_o fair_a and_o tender_a neck_n and_o then_o through_o grace_n they_o have_v come_v to_o themselves_o by_o consideration_n and_o to_o god_n by_o conversion_n as_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o instance_n of_o manasseh_n and_o also_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o prodigal_a son_n in_o the_o 15_o of_o luke_n but_o it_o be_v the_o three_o and_o last_o acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n which_o i_o intend_v to_o insist_v upon_o viz._n 3._o the_o yoke_n of_o religion_n and_o in_o this_o i_o find_v several_a expositor_n take_v it_o here_o in_o my_o text._n the_o great_a and_o learned_a calvin_n prefer_v this_o sense_n to_o the_o other_o indeed_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n be_v call_v a_o yoke_n and_o during_o that_o pedagogy_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a and_o burdensome_a yoke_n such_o
