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

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

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 i_o have_v be_v afflict_v that_o i_o may_v keep_v thy_o statute_n ver_fw-la 71._o so_o there_o be_v many_o young_a one_o that_o in_o their_o prosperity_n have_v live_v in_o a_o total_a forgetfulness_n 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 as_o st._n peter_n say_v neither_o we_o nor_o our_o father_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v act._n 15._o 10._o but_o bless_a be_v god_n we_o who_o live_v in_o gospel-time_n be_v gracious_o free_v and_o discharge_v from_o that_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n by_o jesus_n christ_n stand_v fast_o in_o the_o liberty_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v make_v you_o free_a and_o be_v not_o again_o entangle_v with_o the_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n gal._n 5._o 1._o what_o then_o my_o beloved_n be_v we_o under_o the_o gospel_n yokeless_a may_v we_o live_v as_o we_o listen_v o_o no_o that_o will_v be_v not_o so_o much_o

be_o meek_a and_o lowly_a and_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n for_o your_o soul_n mat._n 11._o 29._o and_o every_o one_o that_o expect_v salvation_n by_o he_o must_v take_v his_o yoke_n and_o yield_v

i_o luke_n 19_o 27._o thus_o i_o have_v explain_v the_o word_n yoke_n which_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n in_o the_o text_n that_o need_v open_v before_o i_o lay_v down_o the_o doctrine_n as_o for_o the_o encouragement_n propose_v in_o these_o word_n it_o be_v good_a etc._n etc._n there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n the_o meaning_n of_o they_o be_v obvious_a and_o plain_a that_o be_v it_o be_v eminent_o so_o as_o that_o which_o alone_o can_v bring_v you_o to_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n the_o chief_a good_a and_o so_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v summary_n of_o all_o

and_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o thou_o to_o all_o eternity_n a_o end_n will_v short_o be_v put_v to_o the_o christian_n weary_a day_n on_o earth_n his_o best_a be_v to_o come_v 2_o cor._n 5._o

afflict_a christian_n while_o they_o by_o faith_n look_v not_o to_o the_o thing_n see_v that_o be_v temporal_a but_o to_o the_o thing_n not_o see_v which_o be_v eternal_a sinner_n have_v but_o there_o

finish_v the_o proof_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n to_o bear_v christ_n yoke_n there_o remain_v only_o that_o branch_n of_o it_o to_o be_v clear_v viz._n that_o it_o be_v so_o especial_o in_o time_n of_o youth_n now_o this_o i_o shall_v dispatch_v in_o few_o word_n and_o i_o wish_v they_o may_v be_v pierce_v and_o reach_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o this_o assembly_n of_o young_a people_n this_o day_n that_o you_o may_v stand_v full_o convince_v of_o the_o truth_n preach_v and_o go_v home_o and_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n acknowledge_v that_o to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n in_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v the_o summary_n of_o all_o good_a wherefore_o ponder_v but_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o the_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v the_o fit_a and_o most_o acceptable_a time_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n 2._o that_o in_o time_n of_o youth_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n be_v the_o most_o commendable_a practice_n 1._o that_o this_o be_v the_o fit_a and_o most_o acceptable_a time_n to_o bear_v christ_n yoke_n in_o and_o this_o will_v appear_v if_o you_o consider_v that_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v the_o free_a time_n free_a from_o bodily_a infirmity_n and_o worldly_a distraction_n the_o wiseman_n do_v elegant_o set_v out_o the_o infirmity_n of_o old_a age_n in_o eccl._n 12._o 2_o 3_o 4._o all_o which_o youth_n be_v free_a from_o for_o in_o youth_n the_o blessing_n of_o life_n be_v in_o its_o verdure_n and_o flower_n thy_o body_n strong_a for_o service_n thy_o spirit_n quick_a and_o vigorous_a thy_o mind_n free_a from_o care_n and_o encumbrance_n which_o afterward_o in_o a_o marry_a state_n usual_o invade_v and_o load_v both_o hand_n and_o head_n and_o heart_n too_o so_o that_o the_o obligation_n now_o in_o time_n of_o youth_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n be_v great_a and_o shall_v make_v the_o deep_a impression_n on_o thy_o mind_n beside_o this_o age_n be_v the_o fit_a to_o receive_v instruction_n as_o be_v more_o tender_a grow_v sinner_n be_v more_o stiff_a and_o untractable_a as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n now_o upon_o this_o consideration_n it_o be_v good_a to_o come_v under_o christ_n yoke_n in_o youth_n before_o the_o heart_n and_o neck_n become_v so_o stiff_a and_o obdurate_a that_o there_o be_v no_o bow_v they_o to_o the_o yoke_n we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prevent_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o temptation_n all_o we_o can_v and_o lie_v hold_v of_o all_o advantage_n for_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n now_o you_o can_v reach_v this_o by_o any_o thing_n you_o can_v do_v like_o come_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n betimes_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n the_o early_o the_o time_n the_o easy_a the_o yoke_n will_v be_v not_o only_o because_o your_o sin_n will_v be_v the_o few_o your_o burden_n the_o

will_v fit_v you_o moreover_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v most_o acceptable_a to_o god_n be_v it_o sit_v o_o young_a man_n that_o god_n shall_v accept_v the_o devil_n leave_n that_o thy_o youthful_a vigour_n and_o spirit_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o thy_o lust_n and_o when_o these_o be_v spend_v in_o the_o service_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o nothing_o but_o skin_n and_o bone_n remain_v then_o to_o offer_v these_o to_o the_o lord_n the_o most_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n be_v young_a bullock_n and_o the_o first-born_a and_o the_o first-fruit_n etc._n etc._n so_o now_o god_n desire_v the_o first_o ripe_a fruit_n 2._o it_o be_v good_a to_o bear_v etc._n etc._n because_o this_o be_v the_o most_o commendable_a practice_n in_o time_n of_o youth_n this_o be_v the_o
