THE CONTENTS OF THE Treatise on Math. 11.28.

CHAP. 1 Wherein, There's, 1. The Dependence of this verse upon the former, with the Scope of the Holy Ghost herein. 2. The Meaning of the words. 3. The Division thereof into three parts. Page 1 Chap. 2. Containing a Description of them whom Christ invites to come unto him, which is laid down in this doctrine. That they whom Christ calls to come unto him, are such as Labour and are heavy Laden, whether▪ 1. Under the burden of the righteousness of the Law. or 2. Under the weight of their sins. Or, 3. Under the power of any corruption. Or, 4. Under any outward trouble, or Affliction. Page 6 Chap. 3. The Burden under sin, laid open in nine Particulars. 1. When the Soul not only apprehendeth, but is sensible of the Evil of Sin in the reality of it. 2. Finds all the comfort that did attend Sin before to vanish and come to nothing. 3. Looks upon it self as loathsome, and is in▪ Some measure bowed to God. 4. Trembles at the least thoughts and Temptations to Sin. 5. Feel Sin heaviest, where it is indeed heaviest. 6. Feels the weight of Sin to be such, as that no Creature is able to remove it. 7 ⟨image 7⟩Had rather be under any burden, then the burden of Sin. 8 Doth notwithstanding the weight thereof, justify God. 9. Doth not lie sullenly, and despair under it, but attend for direction from God, how it may be freed there from Page 15 Chap. 4. Two Cautions touching the Burden of Sin, 1.

The Reasons of the former Doctrine. 1. Christ hath all mercy in him. 2. The end why he came into the world, was to give rest to burdened Souls. 3. Christ himself was once under some kind of this burden. 4 He is to have the glory of all the ease which is given to sinners. Page 24 Chap. 6.
