Lect. 91.

1 Religion doth not abridge man, of law∣full liberties & delights, p. 448. 2 The taskes God sets his servants are not hard nor hea∣vie, 1 Indeed to wicked men, they are not onely difficult, but impossible, Ibid. 2 To the godliest the commandements of God (as the law enjoynes them) are impossi••le. 3 To yeeld Evangelicall obedience to the commandements of God, is very difficult to the regenerate in respect of the remnants of naturall corruption in them, p. 449.
Yet is not the service of God so painefull as needs discourage us from it, for 1 The Commandements are possible to the regene∣rate, 2 yea to the weaker Christian, they are easie as Christ enjoynes them, 3 They are to them, in respect of the inward man, nothing

grievous, p. 450. This none can doubt of, that considers the gracious disposition of the Lord and master we doe service to, p. 551. This appeares in foure points, 1 his aptnesse to passe by, and winke at our offences and failings in his service, Ibid. 2 his aptnesse to accept of that little we are able to do, 3 when he enjoynes services of extraordinary diffi∣culty, hee gives extraordinary supply of strength and assistance, p. 452. 4 The wages and reward he giveth: Even in this life if we serve him, we shall be sure 1 of his counte∣nance and speciall favour, 2 of protection and safety in times of greatest danger, 3 of competency in outward things, 4 when time of paiment commeth, we shall be abun∣dantly recompensed, for all the paines wee have taken, p. 4.53 The consideration of this wages, and the hope of it, should make us go through with our work cheerefully, p. 454.
