CHAP. CXXXV.
Six Evidences of the former Doctrine in the last Chapter. 1. Because the word that enjoins these ways is Sweet. 2. A Gracious Soul counts his Duties his privileges. 3. He would rather come under any other Burden, than cast off the Yoke of Christ. 4. Because Christ whose Yoke it is, is Gentle. 5. Never any truly that put their neck under this Yoke, would willingly take it out again 6. The Experience of all the Saints of God prove the Point.
