Thesis XI. John is therefore right to say, in the fifth chapter of his first epistle, that God's commandments are not burdensome. They require nothing of us that is not in close accord with nature and reason and very much to our good.
Besides this, God gives his own people the strength to carry out his commandments, and by his grace he ensures that the devout and faithful keep them.
Latin
XI. Itaque jure merito Joannes epist. primae cap. quinto affirmat mandata Dei non esse gravia. Etenim, praeterquam quod nihil a nobis exigunt quod naturae & rationi valde consentaneum, & nobis maxime conducibile non sit, Deus etiam suis vires sufficit, per quas mandata ejus effecta dare possint, & per gratiam suam praestat, ut illa pii & fideles observent.
