Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Now that I might open what the burden under the Law is; which if a sinner comes to understand, any soul once comes to understand; it is impossible but it must be laden and burdened; it will be a load upon them, a heavy load to those that understand it; even the burden of the law. Therefore for the understanding of it which I look upon as exceeding necessary, or else you cannot understand Christ aright; for it is not enough for us barely to understand Christ; but we must understand Christ as one that is the great Saviour, to deliver us from the Law; one that comes to give rest and ease to us from the Law; Now except we understand the yoke, and burden of the Law, we cannot understand the worth of Christ in coming to give us ease and rest from it.
