Iohn 5.3 A yoke when it is greene is heauie but when it is somewhat worne easie Now Christ himselfe did first weare this yoke that it might be seasoned and made light for vs. If he commanded other to fast himselfe fasted if he commanded other to pray himselfe prayed if he commanded other to forgiue himselfe pardoned if he commanded other to die himselfe also died c.
