Kind yoke; sit alone; mono-way dwellers
Because “his yoke is kind and the burden light.” (Lamentations 3:27–28) Let no one assent with him about something; one must not be led away together, but even if he is isolated toward this, to endure in what has been decided and to be firmly settled. For “the Lord settles mono-way ones in a house,” (Matthew 11:30) says David, and “I am alone until I pass by” (Psalm 68:6)—clearly the trials, having obtained kindness (Psalm 141:10).

Klagel. Jerem. 3, 27. 28. Ὁτι >ὁ ζυγὸς αὐτοῦ χρηστὸς καὶ τὸ φορτίον ἐλαφρόν<. μηδεὶς αὐτῷ συναινῇ περί του, δεῖ μὴ συναπάγεσθαι, ἀλλὰ κἂν μονωθῇ πρὸς τοῦτο, τοῖς δεδογμένοις ἐγκαρτερεῖν καὶ ἐνιδρὺσθαι βεβαίως. «κύριος« γὰρ «κατοικίζει μονοτρόπους ἐν οἴκῳ« φησὶν ὁ Δαβίδ, καὶ «κατὰ μόνας εἰμὶ ἐγώ, ἕως οὑ παρέλθω«, δηλονότι τοὺς πειρασμοὺς φιλανθρωπίας τυχών.
