The Apostles are yet more clear; For this is the love of God, 1that we keep his Commandments, and his commandments are not grievous. And the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the Law of sin and Death. And now are we delivered from the Law, that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serve in newness of Spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Christ Jesus came to break off from our necks those two great yokes, the one of Sin, by which we are kept in fetters and prisons; the other of Moses Law, by which we are kept in pupillage and minority; and now Christ having taken off these two, he hath put on a third; he quits us of our burden, but not of our duty; he hath changed the yoke of sin, and the yoke of the Law strictly taken, into the sweetness of his Fatherly Regiment, whose very precepts carry part of their reward in hand, and assurance of Glory afterward.
