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

into_o the_o soul_n god_n use_v self_n argument_n and_o self_n motive_n to_o further_o the_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v so_o yet_o self_n motive_n and_o self_n argument_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a and_o high_a of_o all_o but_o 3._o that_o which_o i_o most_o pitch_n upon_o and_o most_o full_o answer_v this_o question_n be_v this_o that_o if_o we_o do_v but_o know_v wherein_o ourselves_o good_a consist_v which_o be_v certain_o to_o live_v to_o god_n ourselves_o good_a be_v in_o this_o not_o only_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o our_o own_o good_a and_o happiness_n ourselves_o good_a be_v in_o our_o live_n to_o god_n that_o infinite_a first-being_a of_o all_o thing_n now_o if_o we_o understand_v this_o i_o say_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v ourselves_o good_a we_o may_v make_v to_o be_v our_o high_a aim_n in_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o in_o do_v any_o good_a that_o thing_n w_o ch_z be_v ourselves_o good_a but_o we_o must_v not_o make_v it_o our_o high_a aim_n as_o it_o be_v ourselves_o good_a we_o must_v look_v to_o god_n above_o ourselves_o but_o still_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v ourselves_o good_a our_o own_o good_a may_v be_v make_v our_o high_a aim_n of_o all_o which_o be_v our_o live_n to_o god_n and_o his_o praise_n thus_o god_n have_v connex_v our_o good_a and_o his_o glory_n together_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o high_a end_n of_o all_o i_o must_v aim_v at_o to_o wit_n god_n glory_n and_o his_o praise_n that_o be_v also_o our_o high_a good_a and_o so_o we_o may_v aim_v at_o it_o in_o our_o chief_a aim_n second_o if_o sin_n make_v so_o against_o we_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o three_o use_n of_o it_o use_v 1_o then_o we_o from_o hence_o see_v the_o desperate_a maliciousness_n that_o be_v in_o sin_n it_o follow_v thus_o what_o for_o a_o creature_n to_o sin_n against_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o to_o get_v no_o good_a to_o himself_o neither_o yea_o to_o do_v hurt_v to_o himself_o too_o this_o be_v horrible_a mischief_n and_o malice_n we_o account_v it_o horrible_a malice_n against_o man_n if_o any_o man_n be_v so_o notorious_o malicious_a that_o he_o seek_v to_o do_v mischief_n to_o another_o man_n though_o he_o get_v no_o good_a yea_o though_o he_o hurt_v himself_o by_o it_o yet_o he_o will_v do_v another_o man_n a_o mischief_n certain_o if_o this_o be_v maliciousness_n against_o man_n than_o there_o be_v certain_o malice_n in_o sin_n against_o god_n for_o when_o thou_o sin_v against_o god_n suppose_v thou_o shall_v get_v never_o so_o much_o good_a suppose_v thou_o by_o sin_n one_o sin_n can_v get_v the_o the_o great_a good_a that_o ever_o any_o creature_n have_v yet_o thou_o must_v not_o commit_v it_o it_o be_v wickedness_n to_o do_v it_o but_o what_o say_v thou_o to_o this_o that_o when_o thou_o sin_v against_o god_n thou_o mischief_a thyself_o not_o only_o get_v no_o good_a but_o do_v that_o which_o be_v the_o great_a wrong_a and_o evil_a to_o thyself_o and_o yet_o will_v thou_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n against_o god_n oh_o what_o do_v thou_o think_v of_o god_n and_o what_o hurt_n have_v god_n do_v to_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v be_v so_o malicious_a against_o he_o that_o thou_o will_v dishonour_v he_o and_o strike_v at_o he_o though_o thou_o get_v nothing_o thyself_o nay_o though_o thou_o do_v undo_v thyself_o by_o it_o man_n will_v rather_o go_v on_o in_o that_o way_n that_o be_v dishonourable_a to_o god_n though_o they_o venture_v their_o own_o damnation_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o high_a expression_n we_o can_v have_v against_o our_o enemy_n i_o will_v be_v even_o with_o he_o i_o will_v have_v my_o mind_n of_o he_o or_o i_o wilspend_v all_o i_o have_v to_o a_o groat_n this_o be_v desperate_a malice_n in_o man_n we_o account_v it_o so_o thou_o do_v more_o against_o god_n though_o thou_o say_v not_o so_o it_o may_v be_v in_o word_n yet_o god_n see_v that_o there_o be_v this_o language_n in_o it_o well_o i_o will_v do_v that_o which_o the_o word_n forbid_v though_o i_o undo_v myself_o i_o will_v venture_v my_o own_o perish_v my_o own_o eternal_a destruction_n rather_o than_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v that_o i_o hear_v god_n will_v not_o have_v do_v there_o be_v this_o in_o every_o sin_n brethren_n because_o we_o do_v not_o examine_v what_o be_v in_o sin_n we_o think_v it_o but_o a_o little_a we_o see_v but_o the_o outside_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o unraule_n out_o sin_n and_o to_o pick_v out_o all_o that_o his_o omniscient_a eye_n see_v in_o sin_n than_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v evil_a transcendant_o evil_a use_v 2._o if_o sin_n have_v so_o much_o evil_n in_o it_o more_o than_o affliction_n as_o against_o ourselves_o than_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o all_o to_o look_v with_o pity_n and_o abundance_n of_o commisseration_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o sin_n ah_o poor_a creature_n they_o undo_v themselves_o their_o way_n be_v against_o themselves_o and_o they_o will_v work_v their_o own_o ruin_n and_o misery_n by_o these_o way_n of_o they_o you_o that_o be_v tradesman_n if_o you_o see_v a_o man_n go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o trading_n so_o that_o you_o know_v certain_o that_o he_o will_v undo_v himself_o you_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o pity_n poor_a young_a man_n he_o go_v on_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o he_o will_v undo_v himself_o you_o pity_v he_o upon_o that_o ground_n because_o he_o undo_v himself_o the_o more_o hand_n a_o man_n have_v in_o do_v himself_o hurt_v the_o more_o he_o be_v to_o be_v pity_v as_o you_o mariner_n if_o you_o see_v one_o at_o sea_n go_v through_o ignorance_n so_o that_o he_o will_v be_v by_o and_o by_o split_n into_o the_o sea_n or_o you_o know_v he_o will_v be_v by_o and_o by_o upon_o the_o rock_n and_o sand_n and_o he_o be_v wilful_a in_o his_o way_n you_o pity_v he_o he_o be_v a_o object_n of_o pity_n do_v thou_o see_v any_o man_n or_o woman_n thy_o father_n or_o mother_n brother_n or_o sister_n husband_n or_o wife_n or_o any_o thou_o love_v dear_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o sin_n oh_o pity_v they_o let_v thy_o heart_n bleed_v over_o they_o poor_a wretch_n they_o will_v undo_v themselves_o split_v themselves_o eternal_o if_o thou_o shall_v see_v a_o company_n of_o man_n stab_v and_o murder_v themselves_o and_o lie_v dead_a in_o the_o street_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v ask_v how_o come_v they_o dead_a and_o it_o shall_v be_v answer_v every_o one_o of_o they_o murder_v himself_o be_v it_o not_o a_o object_n of_o pity_n if_o you_o see_v man_n &_o woman_n go_v on_o in_o sin_n every_o one_o stab_n and_o murder_n and_o mischief_n themselves_o and_o cut_v their_o own_o throat_n this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o see_v it_o themselves_o yet_o if_o god_n open_v their_o eye_n they_o will_v see_v it_o and_o certain_o they_o shall_v see_v it_o ere_o long_o and_o they_o will_v be_v force_v to_o cry_v out_o in_o the_o

as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o height_n of_o their_o prosperity_n and_o the_o rufe_v of_o their_o pride_n but_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o within_o a_o little_a time_n they_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o end_n and_o then_o learn_v to_o pity_v they_o although_o sinner_n go_v on_o conceited_o and_o boast_v themselves_o in_o their_o evil_a way_n for_o the_o present_a pity_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o for_o the_o more_o any_o sinner_n be_v conceit_v and_o boast_v in_o his_o way_n the_o more_o dangerous_a be_v his_o condition_n the_o more_o dangerous_a sign_n the_o seal_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o he_o to_o seal_v he_o to_o destruction_n the_o more_o conceit_a any_o man_n be_v in_o any_o thing_n that_o will_v ruin_v he_o the_o more_o lamentable_a be_v the_o object_n therefore_o though_o we_o many_o time_n when_o we_o see_v man_n under_o grievous_a affliction_n you_o go_v to_o your_o neighbour_n and_o see_v they_o lie_v under_o god_n hand_n grievous_a pain_n and_o

sea_n bring_v their_o name_n into_o disgrace_n lose_v such_o a_o friend_n be_v pinch_v with_o poverty_n and_o then_o come_v and_o lay_v all_o upon_o sin_n whereas_o it_o be_v the_o affliction_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o heart_n this_o pinch_v they_o most_o many_o man_n and_o woman_n account_v it_o a_o kind_n of_o shame_n to_o complain_v of_o affliction_n this_o they_o think_v a_o disgrace_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o may_v not_o have_v the_o disgrace_n of_o complain_v of_o affliction_n they_o turn_v all_o upon_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v sin_n trouble_v they_o now_o i_o will_v find_v they_o out_o thus_o 1_o you_o shall_v find_v many_o that_o come_v and_o complain_v of_o sin_n who_o do_v they_o complain_v to_o to_o stranger_n that_o know_v little_a of_o they_o and_o their_o condition_n rather_o than_o to_o other_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o all_o their_o way_n and_o their_o whole-course_n though_o able_a to_o help_v they_o for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o suspicion_n in_o that_o for_o certain_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v right_a you_o will_v make_v complaint_n to_o those_o that_o know_v most_o of_o your_o way_n and_o course_n but_o those_o that_o be_v stranger_n you_o can_v go_v and_o complain_v to_o in_o some_o general_a way_n and_o perhaps_o to_o some_o that_o may_v be_v some_o way_n able_a to_o help_v and_o relieve_v you_o in_o affliction_n but_o will_v not_o complain_v to_o those_o that_o may_v help_v you_o against_o sin_n if_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o help_v otherwise_o 2_o another_o be_v this_o those_o that_o make_v complaint_n of_o sin_n and_o indeed_o not_o true_a it_o be_v affliction_n not_o sin_n you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o this_o though_o they_o complain_v of_o sin_n it_o be_v in_o general_a term_n oh_o they_o be_v vile_a sinful_a creature_n but_o never_o come_v to_o rip_v up_o the_o secret_n of_o their_o heart_n to_o those_o that_o they_o complain_v unto_o but_o now_o any_o secret_a sin_n that_o may_v cause_v shame_n they_o be_v keep_v in_o and_o never_o open_v but_o that_o be_v their_o general_a complaint_n that_o they_o be_v vile_a sinful_a creature_n whereas_o if_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o lie_v upon_o thy_o heart_n thou_o will_v come_v and_o open_v all_o thy_o secret_a sin_n to_o those_o that_o be_v faithful_a and_o willing_a and_o able_a to_o help_v thou_o if_o thou_o judge_v they_o faithful_a if_o thou_o do_v not_o judge_v they_o so_o why_o complain_v thou_o to_o they_o if_o thou_o think_v they_o be_v thou_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o open_v all_o thy_o sin_n to_o they_o but_o if_o thou_o be_v all_o upon_o general_a term_n it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a sign_n it_o be_v affliction_n and_o not_o sin_n 3_o again_o many_o complain_v to_o other_o but_o very_o little_a between_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n in_o secret_a their_o complaint_n be_v more_o large_a when_o they_o come_v to_o they_o than_o when_o they_o be_v between_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n in_o their_o closet_n now_o if_o it_o be_v for_o thy_o sin_n thou_o complain_v then_o though_o thou_o do_v complain_v to_o they_o that_o through_o god_n blessing_n may_v help_v yet_o thy_o chief_a complaint_n will_v be_v to_o god_n at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o there_o thou_o will_v pour_v forth_o thy_o soul_n in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o thy_o heart_n many_o come_v to_o the_o minister_n and_o complain_v that_o they_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n but_o scarce_o go_v to_o god_n in_o secret_a or_o content_v themselves_o with_o some_o prayer_n just_a as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o book_n or_o the_o like_a but_o never_o pour_v forth_o their_o soul_n in_o secret_a for_o sin_n this_o be_v another_o note_n that_o it_o be_v rather_o for_o affliction_n than_o for_o sin_n 4_o another_o note_n be_v this_o if_o it_o be_v for_o affliction_n more_o than_o for_o sin_n any_o one_o that_o have_v grief_n upon_o they_o according_a to_o that_o grief_n that_o be_v upon_o they_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o aggravate_v that_o grief_n as_o thus_o suppose_v a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n trouble_v for_o the_o death_n of_o their_o father_n or_o husband_n or_o wife_n oh_o such_o a_o one_o dear_a friend_n be_v dead_a father_n dead_a or_o husband_n or_o wife_n be_v dead_a well_o they_o be_v mighty_o trouble_v and_o perplex_v for_o this_o now_o if_o any_o come_v and_o speak_v any_o thing_n to_o aggravate_v their_o sorrow_n they_o close_o with_o it_o present_o as_o thus_o you_o complain_v of_o sorrow_n for_o your_o father_n i_o he_o be_v a_o love_a father_n and_o they_o present_o close_a with_o it_o and_o this_o aggravate_v their_o sorrow_n and_o so_o you_o have_v lose_v your_o husband_n oh_o never_a woman_n lose_v so_o precious_a a_o husband_n as_o i_o so_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v to_o aggravate_v that_o which_o lie_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o close_v withal_o so_o now_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o lie_v upon_o your_o spirit_n when_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v trouble_v for_o trial_n what_o they_o be_v trouble_v for_o here_o be_v the_o art_n of_o a_o minister_n or_o a_o christian_n to_o find_v out_o what_o lie_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n or_o woman_n some_o say_v sin_n well_o but_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v not_o that_o how_o shall_v we_o find_v it_o out_o thus_o whatsoever_o lie_v upon_o the_o heart_n that_o trouble_v they_o they_o will_v be_v very_o willing_a to_o acknowledge_v any_o thing_n say_v to_o aggravate_v it_o that_o lie_v upon_o their_o spirit_n most_o if_o any_o come_v and_o tell_v they_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o agrravate_v it_o and_o say_v this_o be_v a_o evil_a condition_n and_o you_o must_v be_v humble_v for_o it_o and_o thorough_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o they_o to_o show_v how_o deep_o they_o be_v to_o be_v humble_v and_o lay_v sin_n before_o they_o in_o its_o right_a colour_n if_o sin_n trouble_v they_o they_o join_v with_o it_o and_o say_v it_o be_v evil_a indeed_o the_o lord_n humble_v i_o and_o show_v i_o more_o of_o this_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o they_o like_o that_o word_n of_o god_n that_o lay_v home_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n most_o but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o sin_n that_o they_o be_v trouble_v for_o by_o these_o speaking_o against_o sin_n their_o heart_n be_v harden_v and_o their_o heart_n rise_v against_o the_o aggravation_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o it_o be_v affliction_n come_v and_o pity_n and_o condole_v they_o and_o say_v alas_o you_o have_v such_o sorrow_n and_o trouble_n and_o oh_o poor_a creature_n it_o be_v pity_n but_o some_o other_o shall_v help_v you_o i_o they_o take_v this_o and_o this_o aggravate_v their_o sorrow_n it_o be_v observable_a in_o david_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o absalon_n how_o ready_a he_o be_v to_o entertain_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v aggravate_v his_o sorrow_n when_o ziba_n come_v and_o accuse_v mephibosheth_n though_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a he_o present_o embrace_v it_o so_o when_o a_o man_n be_v under_o affliction_n he_o will_v ready_o hear_v and_o embrace_v what_o may_v aggravate_v it_o and_o a_o man_n under_o trouble_n for_o sin_n will_v ready_o embrace_v that_o which_o will_v aggravate_v his_o sin_n this_o be_v a_o excellent_a note_n to_o come_v to_o know_v where_o the_o burden_n pinch_v whether_o it_o be_v sin_n or_o affliction_n 5_o the_o last_o note_n to_o try_v whether_o sin_n or_o affliction_n trouble_v thou_o be_v this_o there_o be_v according_a to_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o sin_n a_o favorinesse_n of_o spirit_n to_o the_o contrary_a good_a thy_o heart_n will_v in_o some_o measure_n have_v a_o love_n to_o and_o a_o favour_n and_o relish_v of_o that_o spiritual_a grace_n contrary_a to_o that_o sin_n of_o thou_o that_o thou_o complain_v of_o but_o now_o you_o have_v many_o that_o complain_v of_o sin_n they_o say_v but_o yet_o their_o heart_n be_v still_o as_o unsavoury_a and_o they_o do_v no_o more_o relish_v spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n contrary_a to_o that_o sin_n that_o they_o complain_v of_o than_o ever_o they_o do_v before_o therefore_o the_o burden_n and_o weight_n lie_v not_o upon_o sin_n but_o affliction_n take_v heed_n examine_v thy_o own_o heart_n there_o be_v much_o deceitfulness_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n thou_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a when_o thou_o come_v and_o complain_v of_o sin_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v thy_o affliction_n be_v upon_o thou_o and_o if_o thy_o affliction_n be_v go_v thou_o be_v well_o enough_o perhaps_o thou_o be_v cross_v in_o thy_o family_n if_o that_o be_v take_v away_o thou_o be_v well_o enough_o for_o all_o sin_n therefore_o be_v sure_a thou_o be_v faithful_a with_o god_n and_o thy_o own_o soul_n a_o five_o sort_n of_o people_n to_o be_v reprehend_v
