… It is easy, considering that we do it not in our own strength, but by assistance from God, #Jer 31:33 Eze 36:25,26 Joh 15:3, we are delivered even from the moral law, considered as a covenant, and as merely commanding us, and affording no help and assistance.
It is also easy; as we’re by the love of God constrained to our duty, so we are freed from the rigor of the law. It is easy & light, as it is a course of life highly consonant to our reason, once delivered from a bondage to our passions. Finally, it is much more easy and light than the service of our lusts is. There is no greater slavery than a subjection to our lusts, that if a drunkard saith "Come," we must come, if an harlot saith "Go," we must go. Or than our service to the world, &c. To say nothing of the exceeding easiness of it, from the prospect of the great reward proposed & promised to those who keep the commandments of Christ, the exceeding & eternal weight of glory, #2Co 4:17; as Jacob’s hard service of fourteen years seemed to him but a few days.
