what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v in_o thou_o amiss_o what_o be_v it_o that_o thou_o will_v fain_o have_v the_o word_n come_v close_o unto_o to_o help_v thou_o against_o what_o be_v the_o special_a

be_v there_o to_o attend_v to_o the_o word_n as_o that_o which_o be_v your_o life_n upon_o which_o your_o eternal_a estate_n depend_v and_o so_o to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o his_o

that_o be_v reveal_v according_a to_o god_n mind_n this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n you_o will_v complain_v of_o almost_o a_o intolerable_a burden_n but_o now_o a_o gracious_a heart_n

and_o not_o find_v profit_n by_o the_o word_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n can_v do_v almost_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o difficult_a than_o this_o you_o find_v no_o difference_n you_o come_v to_o the_o word_n and_o you_o get_v nothing_o and_o you_o go_v away_o with_o as_o much_o comfort_n as_o at_o other_o time_n it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o you_o but_o now_o a_o gracious_a heart_n can_v find_v

what_o be_v the_o ease_n in_o holy_a duty_n mere_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o duty_n but_o now_o if_o your_o ease_n be_v that_o which_o be_v the_o ease_n of_o a_o true_a gracious_a heart_n it_o come_v from_o the_o meeting_n with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o so_o for_o the_o sabbath_n how_o easy_a be_v it_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n to_o do_v as_o the_o most_o it_o be_v

when_o i_o awake_v i_o be_o put_v upon_o it_o more_o to_o mind_n spiritual_a thing_n to_o prepare_v my_o heart_n for_o he_o and_o now_o this_o whole_a day_n be_v dedicate_v for_o my_o converse_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o i_o but_o the_o very_a type_n and_o forerunner_n of_o that_o eternal_a sabbath_n that_o i_o hope_v to_o enjoy_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n

with_o your_o friend_n and_o abuse_v yourselves_o you_o think_v this_o be_v a_o fine_a thing_n i_o but_o when_o you_o come_v home_o your_o heart_n ache_v upon_o it_o and_o your_o body_n be_v worse_a

three_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o yoke_n of_o antichrist_n and_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v this_o antichrist_n require_v submission_n

the_o yoke_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o under_o the_o yoke_n of_o antichrist_n then_o under_o the_o yoke_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whereas_o the_o truth_n be_v jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o bring_v such_o a_o way_n of_o sweetness_n and_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o ease_n unto_o we_o as_o if_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v set_v all_o their_o wisdom_n on_o work_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n they_o can_v not_o have_v find_v out_o such_o a_o way_n as_o this_o and_o yet_o this_o way_n to_o be_v refuse_v oh_o the_o aggravation_n of_o man_n at_o that_o day_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v deliver_v to_o you_o out_o of_o this_o text_n if_o you_o shall_v yet_o continue_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o be_v bondslave_n to_o the_o devil_n in_o your_o wicked_a course_n these_o thing_n shall_v another_o day_n rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n to_o stop_v your_o mouth_n when_o this_o shall_v be_v bring_v against_o you_o do_v not_o you_o live_v in_o such_o a_o town_n and_o such_o a_o place_n and_o where_o you_o hear_v such_o a_o text_n open_v to_o you_o that_o if_o you_o will_v come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n his_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n be_v light_a and_o that_o the_o way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v such_o sweetness_n and_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o yet_o you_o refuse_v it_o and_o you_o will_v choose_v rather_o to_o be_v a_o bondslave_n to_o my_o enemy_n the_o devil_n then_o come_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o my_o son_n oh_o how_o will_v this_o aggravate_v your_o sin_n another_o day_n i_o beseech_v you_o let_v not_o what_o we_o speak_v unto_o you_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o your_o sin_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o have_v be_v so_o long_o upon_o this_o text_n be_v to_o take_v away_o the_o stumble_a block_n that_o man_n lay_v in_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o draw_v your_o heart_n to_o the_o love_n of_o the_o way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o now_o if_o you_o shall_v reject_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n and_o continue_v under_o the_o yoke_n and_o bondage_n of_o sin_n after_o all_o this_o will_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o sermon_n that_o they_o will_v be_v call_v over_o again_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o make_v your_o yoke_n and_o burden_n heavy_a when_o you_o be_v under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o all_o eternity_n and_o that_o may_v be_v a_o second_o use_n of_o this_o point_n consequence_n 3._o three_o if_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v thus_o easy_a and_o his_o burden_n light_n than_o you_o that_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o be_v come_v under_o this_o yoke_n and_o have_v feel_v the_o easiness_n of_o this_o yoke_n bless_v the_o lord_n for_o it_o and_o bless_v yourselves_o for_o what_o ease_n you_o find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n think_v but_o thus_o with_o yourself_o there_o be_v other_o indeed_o they_o have_v a_o strange_a conceit_n of_o the_o way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o think_v they_o hard_o and_o indeed_o if_o their_o nature_n be_v not_o change_v they_o will_v be_v hard_a unto_o they_o but_o bless_v be_v god_n i_o find_v they_o otherwise_o when_o i_o begin_v to_o turn_v my_o face_n to_o jesus_n christ_n my_o father_n or_o mother_n call_v i_o fool_n and_o say_v you_o will_v have_v no_o comfort_n and_o my_o uncle_n and_o kindred_n they_o tell_v i_o that_o my_o comfort_n will_v all_o be_v go_v but_o bless_v be_v god_n i_o do_v not_o harken_v to_o they_o but_o i_o find_v they_o otherwise_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o these_o thing_n bring_v i_o into_o any_o such_o bondage_n but_o bless_v be_v god_n i_o never_o have_v that_o comfort_n that_o now_o i_o have_v nay_o i_o have_v that_o sweetness_n ease_n and_o comfort_n that_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o if_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n do_v seek_v now_o and_o feel_v that_o comfort_n that_o i_o feel_v they_o will_v be_v in_o love_n with_o the_o way_n of_o god_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v many_o that_o can_v think_v with_o themselves_o do_v but_o all_o my_o kindred_n and_o my_o friend_n yea_o do_v but_o all_o the_o world_n feel_v that_o sweetness_n ease_n and_o comfort_n that_o i_o feel_v in_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n they_o will_v be_v in_o love_n with_o they_o if_o you_o can_v speak_v so_o oh_o bless_a be_v god_n for_o this_o easy_a yoke_n of_o christ_n there_o may_v have_v be_v require_v a_o hard_a yoke_n if_o christ_n shall_v say_v well_o i_o endure_v a_o hard_a yoke_n for_o you_o i_o come_v from_o the_o bosom_n of_o my_o father_n and_o come_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n for_o you_o and_o if_o you_o will_v be_v deliver_v you_o must_v have_v a_o heavy_a yoke_n upon_o you_o too_o if_o christ_n shall_v have_v require_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v tie_v unto_o a_o stake_n and_o endure_v the_o fire_n and_o have_v be_v hold_v unto_o it_o and_o save_v at_o last_o yet_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o fall_v down_o and_o bless_v god_n for_o ever_o for_o this_o but_o christ_n require_v no_o such_o thing_n christ_n reveal_v not_o only_a salvation_n at_o last_o but_o he_o reveal_v a_o fair_a way_n he_o pave_v our_o way_n with_o gold_n so_o that_o we_o go_v through_o canaan_n unto_o canaan_n not_o through_o the_o wilderness_n it_o be_v true_a before_o we_o come_v under_o the_o

of_o ease_n as_o now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o toil_n for_o one_o that_o neglect_v his_o account_n he_o be_v not_o ready_a but_o his_o account_n be_v entangle_v if_o he_o be_v call_v to_o

he_o every_o day_n to_o keep_v his_o book_n straight_o and_o clear_a this_o will_v not_o be_v so_o great_a a_o trouble_n this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o one_o christian_n and_o another_o for_o all_o the_o world_n one_o that_o shall_v take_v his_o pleasure_n all_o the_o week_n long_o and_o ride_v this_o way_n and_o the_o other_o way_n and_o neglect_v his_o book_n and_o but_o one_o

be_v burdensome_a but_o labour_n to_o use_v all_o argument_n you_o can_v to_o make_v you_o in_o love_n with_o the_o duty_n a_o scholar_n that_o be_v in_o love_n with_o his_o book_n will_v not_o cry_v when_o he_o go_v to_o the_o school_n and_o especial_o if_o he_o delight_v in_o it_o and_o be_v in_o love_n with_o his_o master_n there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v put_v to_o go_v to_o school_n that_o

have_v rather_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n than_o go_v to_o school_n neither_o love_v their_o book_n nor_o love_v their_o master_n and_o so_o seldom_o come_v to_o any_o eminence_n of_o learning_n love_n take_v away_o all_o difficulty_n love_n be_v ashamed_a to_o complain_v of_o difficulty_n at_o any_o time_n as_o now_o take_v a_o man_n that_o love_v recreation_n that_o love_v that_o
