Now a Beliallist, will not hear of, nor have to do with the yoke; he is like the wild Ass described in the 39th of Job, who will not be taught to plough, nor be bound in the furrow; you cannot make the wild Ass work like the Ox. Wicked men have hard and stony hearts, yet such soft, tender, and delicate necks, that they cannot abide the yoke; 'tis their bondage to be tied to obedience.
