from_o thence_o the_o word_n come_v my_o burden_n be_v light_a the_o meaning_n in_o the_o original_n be_v this_o it_o be_v such_o a_o light_a burden_n as_o man_n may_v have_v it_o upon_o he_o and_o

that_o be_v the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n we_o have_v not_o a_o word_n in_o the_o english_a to_o express_v it_o thus_o and_o the_o word_n that_o you_o have_v in_o 2_o pet._n 1._o 5._o have_v

else_o the_o word_n signify_v to_o lead_v in_o a_o dance_n as_o first_o one_o go_v and_o the_o other_o follow_v so_o faith_n go_v first_o and_o that_o lead_v on_o the_o other_o it_o signify_v the_o

that_o one_o may_v have_v a_o burden_n on_o and_o go_v light_o and_o skip_a as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o only_o one_o thing_n more_o for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o word_n my_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o my_o burden_n be_v light_a i_o confess_v these_o two_o expression_n many_o make_v but_o all_o one_o yoke_n and_o burden_n and_o other_o think_v there_o be_v a_o little_a difference_n tha●_n by_o yoke_n be_v mean_v what_o jesus_n christ_n require_v of_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n to_o do_v and_o by_o burden_n be_v mean_v what_o we_o be_v require_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o suffer_v both_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n the_o come_n under_o the_o rule_n and_o government_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v a_o yoke_n i_o but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a gentle_a yoke_n and_o so_o when_o we_o come_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v expect_v to_o suffer_v much_o and_o bear_v great_a burden_n of_o affliction_n in_o

of_o the_o strange_a point_n that_o ever_o be_v preach_v or_o that_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o that_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o bring_v people_n to_o heaven_n be_v a_o easy_a way_n it_o

before_o we_o have_v do_v with_o the_o point_n we_o shall_v reconcile_v all_o these_o thing_n only_o for_o the_o present_a see_v they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v yield_v they_o to_o have_v a_o truth_n in_o they_o that_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n whatever_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n will_v have_v we_o submit_v unto_o it_o be_v easy_a whatever_o burden_n he_o will_v have_v we_o bear_v in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v a_o light_n burden_n let_v all_o those_o that_o be_v continual_o complain_v of_o the_o difficulty_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n take_v notice_n of_o this_o point_n many_o there_o be_v that_o make_v it_o their_o religion_n to_o be_v continual_o complain_v of_o difficulty_n that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n way_n as_o if_o by_o that_o they_o will_v show_v that_o they_o see_v somewhat_o and_o feel_v somewhat_o more_o than_o other_o do_v and_o be_v never_o in_o way_n of_o thanksgiving_n or_o in_o way_n of_o rejoice_v but_o always_o complain_v of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o what_o difficulty_n they_o find_v in_o they_o let_v they_o take_v notice_n that_o whatever_o thy_o thought_n have_v be_v heretofore_o or_o what_o thy_o speech_n have_v be_v about_o they_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o say_v that_o his_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o of_o his_o burden_n that_o it_o be_v light_a now_o therefore_o first_o i_o shall_v confirm_v it_o by_o scripture_n and_o then_o come_v to_o branch_v it_o into_o several_a particular_n for_o the_o open_n of_o it_o for_o scripture_n take_v these_o three_o the_o first_o be_v in_o psal_n 119._o 44_o 45._o so_o shall_v i_o keep_v thy_o law_n continual_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o i_o will_v walk_v at_o liberty_n for_o i_o seek_v thy_o precept_n the_o soul_n that_o do_v true_o seek_v god_n precept_n to_o be_v under_o the_o command_n of_o the_o precept_n of_o god_n such_o a_o one_o walk_v at_o liberty_n never_o have_v so_o much_o liberty_n as_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o seek_v god_n precept_n you_o may_v think_v that_o to_o be_v under_o the_o command_n of_o the_o word_n and_o especial_o that_o in_o seek_v the_o command_v of_o the_o lord_n it_o will_v bring_v you_o into_o bondage_n there_o be_v no_o such_o liberty_n in_o the_o world_n as_o be_v under_o the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o seek_v the_o command_v of_o the_o word_n and_o then_o in_o prov._n 15._o 19_o the_o way_n of_o the_o slothful_a be_v as_o a_o hedge_n of_o thorn_n that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difficulty_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o slothful_a now_o this_o be_v a_o opposition_n to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o slothful_a but_o the_o way_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v plain_a there_o be_v no_o such_o difficulty_n in_o his_o way_n a_o righteous_a man_n way_n to_o heaven_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a way_n a_o plain_a path_n he_o may_v go_v in_o it_o with_o ease_n it_o be_v not_o a_o rigid_a way_n it_o be_v not_o a_o stony_a way_n a_o thorny_a way_n but_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a way_n that_o a_o man_n may_v go_v easy_a there_o now_o if_o you_o be_v walk_v in_o any_o place_n from_o town_n to_o town_n if_o you_o walk_v in_o a_o place_n where_o be_v plain_a way_n in_o the_o field_n it_o be_v easy_a all_o the_o while_n now_o you_o go_v to_o the_o city_n and_o you_o walk_v in_o the_o field_n it_o be_v plain_a it_o be_v easy_a but_o when_o you_o come_v upon_o stone_n it_o be_v more_o difficult_a so_o it_o be_v here_o the_o way_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v plain_a

the_o other_o two_o the_o way_n of_o god_n indeed_o and_o religion_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v easy_a but_o there_o be_v two_o other_o thing_n as_o the_o discipline_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o suffering_n that_o jesus_n call_v we_o unto_o how_o will_v that_o be_v make_v out_o to_o be_v easy_a to_o we_o now_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o aim_n at_o these_o two_o as_o well_o as_o to_o any_o other_o to_o let_v they_o know_v what_o discipline_n and_o government_n he_o will_v have_v his_o people_n come_v under_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o indeed_o we_o can_v be_v the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o ought_v except_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o put_v our_o neck_n under_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o discipline_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o government_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o church_n we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o sufficient_a mere_o that_o we_o profess_v religion_n and_o profess_v godliness_n that_o we_o keep_v from_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o walk_v close_o with_o god_n in_o our_o family_n but_o christ_n require_v likewise_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v and_o sub●it_v ourselves_o to_o what_o government_n he_o appoint_v in_o his_o church_n and_o that_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o well_o as_o his_o rule_n in_o our_o heart_n indeed_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a work_n of_o christ_n in_o rule_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o christ_n have_v a_o kingly_a power_n in_o rule_v in_o his_o church_n the_o main_a yoke_n be_v inward_a but_o there_o be_v a_o outward_a yoke_n too_o for_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v man_n live_v as_o they_o listen_v in_o a_o disorderly_a way_n but_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o all_o his_o saint_n though_o some_o in_o one_o place_n and_o some_o in_o another_o shall_v join_v together_o in_o exercise_v such_o ordinance_n as_o he_o have_v appoint_v in_o the_o external_a govern_n of_o his_o church_n and_o yet_o so_o that_o all_o these_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o a_o spiritual_a heart_n though_o it_o may_v seem_v very_o difficult_a to_o a_o carnal_a heart_n for_o i_o shall_v wrong_v the_o text_n and_o not_o be_v faithful_a if_o i_o shall_v not_o give_v you_o what_o i_o very_o believe_v be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o text_n i_o say_v this_o yoke_n be_v the_o order_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o church_n if_o it_o be_v neglect_v by_o people_n it_o be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o hinder_v they_o exceed_o in_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n and_o though_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o carnal_a heart_n it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o spiritual_a heart_n i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o one_o of_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o cause_v so_o much_o malignity_n in_o this_o kingdom_n at_o this_o day_n it_o be_v the_o fear_v of_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n man_n be_v afraid_a of_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o church_n they_o be_v afraid_a they_o shall_v not_o have_v that_o liberty_n for_o their_o lust_n and_o wickedness_n as_o former_o but_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v yoke_n to_o restrain_v and_o keep_v they_o from_o those_o loose_a way_n that_o former_o they_o live_v in_o and_o you_o may_v see_v plain_o it_o be_v so_o who_o be_v they_o that_o join_v with_o the_o malignant_a party_n that_o have_v such_o spirit_n but_o such_o as_o have_v loose_a spirit_n they_o be_v those_o that_o live_v very_o loose_o &_o other_o that_o have_v mere_a civility_n and_o know_v little_a of_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n they_o be_v afraid_a of_o this_o and_z oh_o how_o be_v it_o say_v by_o most_o we_o will_v not_o have_v this_o man_n reign_n over_o we_o they_o even_o say_v they_o will_v break_v his_o bond_n asunder_o and_o cast_v away_o his_o cord_n that_o be_v the_o controversy_n that_o it_o be_v come_v to_o at_o this_o very_a day_n and_o that_o prophecy_n in_o psalm_n 2._o seem_v to_o be_v fulfil_v at_o this_o day_n at_o verse_n 2._o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n set_v themselves_o and_o the_o ruler_n take_v counsel_n together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o

of_o zion_n for_o all_o this_o i_o will_v set_v my_o king_n upon_o my_o holy_a hill_n certain_o christ_n be_v not_o set_v up_o as_o king_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v whatever_o profession_n we_o

of_o some_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o their_o heart_n you_o will_v say_v that_o be_v secret_a ay_o but_o though_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o secret_a yet_o certain_o this_o may_v
