In the second Psalm: “For what purpose have

the

heathen

raged

,

and

the

people

imagined

vain

things

?

The

kings

of

the

earth

stood

up

,

and

the

rulers

have

gathered

together

against

the

Lord

,

and

against

His

Christ

.

Let

us

break

their

bonds

asunder

,

and

cast

away

their

yoke

from

us

.

”

Likewise

in

the

Gospel

according

to

Matthew

,

the

Lord

says

:

“

Come

unto

me

,

all

ye

that

labour

and

are

burdened

,

and

I

will

cause

you

to

rest

.

Take

my

yoke

upon

you

,

and

learn

of

me

;

for

I

am

meek

and

lowly

in

heart

:

and

ye

shall

find

rest

unto

your

souls

.

For

my

yoke

is

excellent

,

and

my

burden

is

light

.

”

In

Jeremiah

:

“

In

that

day

I

will

shatter

the

yoke

from

their

neck

,

and

will

burst

their

fetters

;

and

they

shall

not

labour

for

others

,

but

they

shall

labour

for

the

Lord

God

;

and

I

will

raise

up

David

a

king

unto

them

.
