Christ will free us from all spirituall incoveniences. my burden] The word primarily signifies, the fraight or balast of a ship, which cuts thorow the waves as if it had no burden, and never goes safe nor steadily without some such burden or balast. is light] Regenerate men consent to Gods law, Romans 7:22. and so it is light to them, because, by Christs strength, they have overcome the world. The yoke of the law is hard, Acts 15:10. and the burden of the Pharisees, heavie, chap. 23. 4. and of princes, Isaiah 9:4. and Isaiah 10:27. Hosea 8:10. But love makes Christs yoke easie, and his burden light, 1 John 5:3-4.
