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

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

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
