For. The fact of my giving work will not prevent this rest, but the contrary. My yoke is easy ( χρηστός); suave, Latin; "sore" (Wickliffe); "sweete" (Rheims). And so are God's judgments (Psalms 119:39, ' Psalms of Solomon,' 8:38). Contrast Ecclesiasticus 28:19, 20. And my burden is light. For "his commandments are not grievous" (1 John 5:3). "Omnia levis suut caritati".
