119. That the yoke of the law was heavy,
which is cast off by us, and that the Lord’s yoke is easy, which
is taken up by us.
In the second Psalm: “Wherefore have
the heathen 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.”4631
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,4632

one codex, from this point all the rest is wanting. | and ye shall find rest for your
souls. For my yoke is good, and my burden is
light.”4633
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.”4634
