In the second Psalm: “Wherefore have the heathen

‹ Book 3 · Section 118 Book 3 · Section 119 ›

been

in

tumult

,

and

the

peoples

meditated

vain

things

?

The

kings

of

the

earth

have

stood

up

,

and

their

princes

have

been

gathered

together

against

the

Lord

,

and

against

His

Christ

.

Let

us

break

their

bonds

asunder

,

and

cast

away

from

us

their

yoke

.

”

Also

in

the

Gospel

according

to

Matthew

:

“

Come

unto

me

,

ye

who

labour

and

are

burdened

,

and

I

will

make

you

to

rest

.

Take

my

yoke

upon

you

,

and

learn

of

me

:

for

I

am

meek

and

lowly

of

heart

,

and

ye

shall

find

rest

for

your

souls

.

For

my

yoke

is

good

,

and

my

burden

is

light

.

”

Also

in

the

Acts

of

the

Apostles

:

“

It

seemed

good

to

the

Holy

Ghost

,

and

to

us

,

to

impose

upon

you

no

other

burden

than

those

things

which

are

of

necessity

,

that

you

should

abstain

from

idolatries

,

from

shedding

of

blood

,

and

from

fornication

.

And

whatsoever

you

would

not

to

be

done

unto

you

,

do

not

to

others

.
