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.

you_o may_v know_v they_o by_o this_o if_o you_o propound_v limit_n thus_o far_o you_o will_v go_v this_o certain_o be_v a_o natural_a work_n but_o when_o the_o heart_n let_v out_o itself_o to_o god_n without_o any_o limit_n or_o bound_n this_o be_v a_o supernatural_a work_n so_o you_o dislike_v sin_n and_o oh_o you_o will_v not_o commit_v it_o but_o this_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o your_o

and_o live_v in_o such_o open_a sin_n and_o upon_o such_o and_o such_o ground_n you_o will_v abstain_v from_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o supernatural_a work_n your_o heart_n be_v set_v against_o all_o sin_n with_o a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n without_o any_o bound_n or_o term_n you_o will_v set_v no_o bound_n to_o your_o hatred_n of_o any_o sin_n that_o man_n or_o

kind_n of_o infinitness_n of_o evil_n in_o it_o five_o sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n in_o it_o in_o that_o it_o be_v the_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o evil_a as_o god_n appear_v to_o be_v a_o infinite_a good_a because_o he_o be_v the_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o good_a this_o do_v much_o set_v out_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o god_n goodness_n in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o good_a so_o it_o do_v set_v out_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o sin_n be_v the_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o evil_a all_o evil_n flow_v from_o it_o this_o be_v the_o five_o thing_n six_o there_o be_v a_o infiniteness_n of_o evil_a in_o sin_n it_o appear_v thus_o that_o as_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o good_a in_o god_n be_v shadow_v out_o unto_o we_o by_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o and_o the_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o all_o good_a thing_n to_o shadow_n out_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n this_o manifest_v a_o infiniteness_n of_o good_a in_o he_o so_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o scripture_n mak●s_v use_v of_o all_o kind_n of_o evil_a thing_n only_o to_o set_v and_o shadow_n out_o the_o evil_a in_o sin_n this_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n of_o evil_a in_o it_o as_o thus_o that_o all_o those_o creature_n viper_n serpent_n dog_n cockatrice_n dragon_n wolf_n all_o deadly_a creature_n the_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o but_o to_o shadow_n out_o the_o evil_a in_o sin_n as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v say_v do_v you_o see_v any_o evil_n in_o such_o creature_n that_o you_o account_v the_o worst_a put_v they_o all_o together_o and_o that_o be_v in_o sin_n and_o more_o so_o take_v all_o kind_n of_o uncleanness_n the_o vomit_n of_o a_o dog_n menstruous_a clothes_n all_o this_o do_v but_o shadow_n out_o the_o evil_a in_o sin_n look_v at_o sickness_n leprosy_n plague_n and_o death_n itself_o and_o darkness_n any_o hideous_a evil_n all_o these_o do_v but_o shadow_v out_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n we_o may_v mention_v many_o more_o to_o show_v you_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n and_o in_o that_o the_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o so_o many_o evil_a thing_n to_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n this_o show_v sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n in_o it_o seven_o as_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n be_v set_v out_o thus_o that_o he_o be_v his_o own_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n in_o this_o god_n do_v appear_v to_o be_v infinite_o good_a because_o he_o be_v his_o own_o good_a and_o happiness_n there_o be_v no_o high_a good_a to_o be_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n no_o high_a blessedness_n to_o be_v the_o blessedness_n of_o god_n but_o himself_o because_o he_o be_v infinite_o good_a and_o bless_a so_o the_o scripture_n set_v out_o to_o we_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n by_o itself_o because_o there_o be_v no_o great_a evil_a to_o set_v sin_n out_o by_o but_o by_o itself_o therefore_o this_o show_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n of_o evil_n in_o sin_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v that_o of_o rom._n 7._o 13._o be_v that_o then_o that_o be_v good_a make_v death_n to_o i_o god_n forbid_v but_o sin_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v sin_n work_v death_n in_o i_o by_o that_o which_o be_v good_a that_o sin_n by_o the_o commandment_n may_v become_v exceed_o sinful_a he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o sin_n may_v appear_v to_o be_v exceed_o miserable_a but_o that_o it_o may_v become_v exceed_o sinful_a so_o that_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o sin_n be_v that_o which_o set_v out_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n more_o than_o any_o other_o thing_n do_v it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o heathen_a seneca_n it_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n to_o have_v sin_n so_o it_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o virtue_n to_o have_v they_o godliness_n in_o itself_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o man_n and_o sin_n in_o itself_o be_v the_o misery_n of_o a_o man_n and_o this_o be_v a_o proof_n of_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n of_o evil_n in_o sin_n now_o then_o by_o all_o these_o seven_o discovery_n of_o the_o evil_a in_o sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n in_o it_o this_o one_o thing_n come_v full_o and_o powerful_o from_o they_o that_o for_o to_o fall_v into_o sin_n again_o and_o for_o to_o be_v prevail_v withal_o by_o any_o such_o temptation_n as_o this_o oh_o it_o be_v no_o great_a

that_o sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n of_o evil_n in_o it_o nay_o which_o i_o think_v to_o have_v finish_v here_o but_o can_v now_o come_v to_o it_o but_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n show_v the_o reference_n sin_n have_v to_o the_o devil_n this_o show_v the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n above_o all_o evil_n sin_n be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o soul_n conformable_a to_o the_o devil_n affliction_n do_v not_o they_o make_v the_o soul_n conformable_a to_o jesus_n christ_n i_o suppose_v you_o know_v that_o place_n phil._n 3._o 10._o mark_n there_o the_o difference_n

do_v desire_n above_o all_o thing_n to_o have_v the_o fellowship_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o to_o be_v conformable_a to_o his_o death_n he_o account_v all_o the_o world_n as_o dung_n and_o dross_n to_o be_v conformable_a to_o christ_n by_o affliction_n or_o suffering_n it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v be_v many_o account_n all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v conformable_a to_o christ_n in_o glory_n in_o heaven_n but_o here_o be_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v this_o in_o the_o conclusion_n and_o carry_v it_o away_o that_o a_o gracious_a heart_n
