13. That the old yoke should be made
void, and a new yoke should be given.
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.”3872
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.”3873 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.”3874
