A77976	The eighth book of Mr Jeremiah Burroughs. Being a treatise of the evil of evils, or the exceeding sinfulness of sin. Wherein is shewed, 1 There is more evil in the least sin, than there is in the greatest affliction. 2 Sin is most opposite to God. 3 Sin is most opposite to mans good. 4 Sin is opposite to all good in general. 5 Sin is the poyson, or evil of all other evils. 6 Sin hath a kind of infiniteness in it. 7 Sin makes a man conformable to the Devil. All these several heads are branched out into very many particulars. / Published by Thomas Goodwyn, William Bridge, Sydrach Sympson, William Adderly, [double brace] William Greenhil, Philip Nye, John Yates.	Burroughs, Jeremiah, 1599-1646.; Goodwin, Thomas, 1600-1680.	1654 (1654)	Wing B6063; Thomason E819_1; ESTC R207405	254,421	485

the_o contrary_n but_o now_o you_o have_v hear_v there_o be_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o god_n to_o speak_v proper_o but_o only_a sin_n and_o if_o sin_n be_v the_o only_a contrary_n that_o god_n have_v

that_o wrong_n that_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n can_v make_v it_o good_a it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n if_o a_o man_n have_v do_v that_o wrong_n to_o a_o kingdom_n that_o all_o the_o

of_o heaven_n that_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v never_o make_v up_o again_o well_o to_o conclude_v though_o the_o thing_n be_v hard_a and_o sad_a to_o

the_o present_a i_o believe_v this_o be_v a_o necessary_a point_n for_o you_o to_o know_v and_o this_o be_v that_o though_o some_o may_v perhaps_o rise_v against_o it_o that_o thousand_o thousand_o

wrong_v god_n in_o his_o attribute_n as_o thus_o first_o sin_n do_v hold_v forth_o this_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o good_a in_o god_n for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o a_o soul_n this_o language_n be_v apparent_a in_o every_o sin_n and_o it_o hold_v this_o forth_o so_o far_o as_o sin_n do_v appear_v it_o hold_v this_o forth_o before_o all_o and_o speak_v this_o language_n that_o there_o be_v not_o enough_o good_a in_o god_n that_o be_v the_o bless_a glorious_a al-sufficient_a eternal_a unchangeable_a good_a and_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a yet_o sin_n make_v this_o

creature_n for_o any_o good_a if_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o god_n himself_o now_o there_o be_v great_a wrong_n do_v to_o that_o bless_a god_n who_o be_v goodness_n itself_o for_o any_o creature_n to_o hold_v this_o forth_o that_o there_o be_v not_o sufficient_a good_a there_o but_o that_o the_o creature_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o seek_v for_o it_o elsewhere_o out_o of_o god_n so_o long_o as_o

other_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o affliction_n affliction_n be_v from_o god_n and_o by_o god_n and_o for_o god_n and_o be_v not_o contrary_a unto_o god_n because_o it_o be_v from_o himself_o 2_o sin_n be_v so_o opposite_a to_o god_n that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o least_o drop_n of_o it_o can_v get_v into_o god_n nature_n god_n will_v instant_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o god_n

will_v fall_v down_o and_o be_v annihilate_v you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v a_o venomous_a poison_n certain_o if_o but_o one_o drop_n of_o sin_n shall_v get_v into_o god_n the_o infinite_a be_v of_o god_n will_v instant_o cease_v to_o be_v the_o sea_n though_o vast_a be_v not_o infinite_a the_o heaven_n though_o vast_a be_v not_o infinite_a the_o infinite_a god_n will_v have_v no_o be_v at_o all_o if_o sin_n shall_v get_v into_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o evil_a therefore_o also_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v holy_a thought_n of_o god_n see_v sin_n be_v so_o infinite_o contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n 3._o so_o opposite_a be_v sin_n to_o god_n that_o if_o god_n shall_v be_v but_o the_o cause_n of_o any_o sin_n in_o any_o other_o he_o will_v instant_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o god_n it_o strike_v at_o the_o very_a life_n of_o god_n he_o will_v cease_v to_o be_v god_n he_o can_v be_v god_n no_o long_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o any_o sin_n in_o any_o other_o we_o have_v

his_o hatred_n but_o that_o which_o be_v his_o nature_n that_o be_v proportionable_a to_o hatred_n as_o we_o say_v if_o god_n do_v not_o hate_v it_o so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v than_o he_o do_v not_o hate_v sin_n infinite_o for_o there_o can_v be_v any_o infinite_a and_o less_o than_o infinite_a stand_n together_o these_o two_o can_v ever_o stand_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v infinite_a and_o less_o

needs_o have_v infinite_a hatred_n against_o sin_n i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v this_o for_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v though_o god_n be_v against_o sin_n and_o hate_v it_o yet_o i_o hope_v god_n hate_v it_o not_o so_o much_o as_o many_o minister_n make_v of_o it_o tush_o god_n be_v not_o so_o much_o against_o sin_n as_o they_o speak_v of_o though_o its_o true_a when_o we_o do_v a_o

as_o they_o say_v this_o be_v but_o their_o opinion_n and_o he_o hope_v god_n do_v not_o hate_v it_o so_o much_o as_o they_o say_v oh_o brethren_n take_v heed_n of_o this_o opinion_n for_o if_o god_n shall_v hate_v sin_n less_o than_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v cease_v to_o be_v either_o he_o must_v hate_v sin_n with_o infinite_a hatred_n or_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v god_n so_o evil_a and_o opposite_a

all_o there_o be_v six_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o from_o this_o point_n be_v reprehend_v you_o shall_v see_v all_o natural_o follow_v from_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n that_o there_o be_v great_a evil_n in_o sin_n than_o in_o affliction_n first_o such_o kind_n of_o people_n as_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o affliction_n than_o of_o sin_n there_o be_v many_o people_n very_o ●hy_a of_o affliction_n and_o solicitous_a to_o prevent_v affliction_n but_o not_o to_o prevent_v sin_n many_o reason_n thus_o i_o have_v need_n be_v a_o good_a husband_n and_o lay_v up_o somewhat_o i_o know_v not_o what_o i_o may_v meet_v withal_o before_o i_o die_v i_o may_v want_v before_o i_o die_v many_o be_v penurious_a and_o covetous_a and_o will_v not_o enlarge_v themselves_o to_o good_a use_n when_o god_n

affliction_n but_o for_o sin_n they_o do_v not_o lay_v up_o to_o prevent_v that_o whereas_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o solicitous_a lest_o we_o shall_v be_v draw_v into_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n as_o well_o as_o forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n true_a god_n keep_v i_o from_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n but_o what_o if_o god_n shall_v leave_v i_o to_o temptation_n what_o a_o wretched_a creature_n shall_v i_o be_v if_o ever_o this_o corrupt_a heart_n of_o i_o shall_v prevail_v against_o i_o as_o i_o have_v cause_n to_o

out_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o his_o name_n scandal_n of_o religion_n and_o wound_v of_o my_o conscience_n and_o this_o god_n know_v cause_n the_o most_o solicitous_a care_n that_o i_o ever_o have_v lest_o my_o heart_n shall_v break_v out_o against_o god_n to_o the_o scandal_n of_o that_o holy_a profession_n i_o have_v take_v upon_o i_o oh_o be_v it_o thus_o with_o you_o oh_o this_o be_v a_o happy_a thing_n indeed_o as_o when_o man_n hear_v of_o one_o that_o be_v break_v they_o will_v inquire_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o have_v such_o a_o estate_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o break_v one_o may_v be_v say_v he_o trust_v servant_n too_o much_o and_o that_o cause_v he_o to_o break_v oh_o this_o will_v cause_v he_o to_o look_v so_o to_o it_o that_o he_o will_v never_o trust_v his_o servant_n too_o much_o another_o may_v be_v say_v because_o he_o live_v above_o his_o mean_n and_o this_o make_v he_o that_o he_o will_v not_o live_v above_o his_o mean_n and_o another_o he_o will_v have_v his_o country_n house_n and_o his_o servant_n riot_n at_o home_n when_o he_o be_v abroad_o and_o another_o he_o trust_v too_o much_o and_o such_o like_a reason_n now_o we_o will_v be_v wise_a to_o take_v heed_n of_o that_o which_o bring_v other_o to_o affliction_n so_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o we_o when_o we_o see_v any_o fall_n into_o sin_n professor_n that_o make_v a_o show_n of_o religion_n and_o afterward_o fall_v foul_o inquire_v now_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n this_o man_n break_v he_o break_v his_o conscience_n what_o be_v the_o matter_n one_o that_o have_v such_o admirable_a gift_n and_o make_v such_o a_o profession_n oh_o may_v be_v all_o the_o time_n he_o have_v a_o proud_a heart_n therefore_o i_o will_v keep_v my_o heart_n humble_a oh_o he_o have_v excellent_a gift_n and_o enlargement_n in_o prayer_n but_o he_o have_v a_o slight_a vain_a spirit_n oh_o let_v i_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o root_n of_o bit_n ternesse_n in_o my_o soul_n he_o be_v break_v now_o but_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n oh_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v sluggish_a and_o cold_a in_o closet_n work_v and_o such_o duty_n in_o his_o family_n oh_o let_v i_o take_v heed_n and_o keep_v up_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o secret_a in_o my_o closet_n and_o in_o my_o family_n he_o break_v indeed_o but_o how_o oh_o some_o secret_a sin_n he_o keep_v in_o his_o bosom_n there_o be_v some_o secret_a sin_n he_o let_v his_o heart_n hanker_v after_o and_o now_o god_n have_v leave_v he_o to_o it_o now_o by_o god_n grace_n i_o will_v look_v to_o myself_o i_o will_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n take_v heed_n of_o secret_a sin_n thus_o brethren_n if_o we_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n we_o will_v be_v thus_o careful_a to_o prevent_v the_o evil_n of_o sin_n as_o

somewhat_o to_o take_v to_o but_o if_o you_o be_v apprehensive_a of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n you_o will_v provide_v for_o their_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o their_o body_n and_o therefore_o oh_o let_v i_o put_v he_o in_o a_o good_a family_n and_o there_o he_o may_v learn_v to_o prevent_v sin_n this_o be_v the_o first_o to_o reprove_v those_o that_o labour_n to_o prevent_v affliction_n but_o not_o sin_n second_o it_o serve_v to_o reprove_v those_o that_o be_v careful_a to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v mere_o for_o fear_n of_o affliction_n only_o upon_o that_o ground_n as_o if_o there_o be_v not_o evil_a enough_o in_o sin_n itself_o but_o all_o the_o evil_n be_v in_o affliction_n certain_o these_o man_n and_o woman_n understand_v not_o this_o that_o there_o be_v more_o

itself_o to_o keep_v thou_o from_o sin_n though_o no_o affliction_n shall_v follow_v thou_o abstain_v from_o sin_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n not_o because_o of_o any_o great_a evil_n thou_o see_v in_o sin_n but_o because_o of_o affliction_n thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o it_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o trouble_v and_o into_o affliction_n and_o this_o keep_v away_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v good_a for_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o avoid_v sin_n upon_o any_o term_n and_o this_o be_v one_o motive_n god_n propound_v to_o avoid_v sin_n by_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o or_o the_o chief_a

to_o have_v such_o apprehension_n of_o the_o evil_a consequence_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o avoid_v sin_n upon_o they_o ground_n but_o you_o shall_v labour_v not_o only_o to_o avoid_v sin_n from_o the_o
