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

it_o be_v thou_o have_v sin_v against_o and_o look_v downward_o to_o thy_o own_o misery_n and_o what_o thou_o have_v deserve_v by_o sin_n now_o many_o altogether_o poor_a downward_o and_o look_v

god_n have_v to_o you_o as_o your_o creator_n from_o who_o you_o have_v your_o be_v as_o he_o that_o preserve_v your_o be_v every_o moment_n look_v upon_o he_o as_o your_o lord_n infinitlie_o above_o

manner_n be_v a_o especial_a way_n to_o work_v strong_o upon_o the_o heart_n for_o hereby_o i_o come_v to_o see_v as_o it_o be_v the_o present_a evil_n of_o sin_n the_o other_o be_v but_o only_o a_o sight_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n to_o come_v as_o when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n look_v upon_o sin_n as_o bring_v hell_n that_o be_v but_o only_o to_o look_v upon_o that_o evil_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o come_v hereafter_o but_o we_o know_v that_o present_a thing_n do_v most_o affect_v as_o now_o any_o good_a thing_n if_o it_o be_v to_o come_v it_o do_v not_o take_v the_o heart_n so_o much_o as_o a_o present_a good_a as_o when_o the_o soul_n make_v the_o good_a of_o the_o promise_v to_o be_v present_a than_o they_o affect_v the_o soul_n but_o if_o the_o soul_n look_v upon_o they_o as_o to_o come_v they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o affect_v so_o if_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o bring_v hell_n and_o misery_n this_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o to_o come_v hereafter_o so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v avoid_v but_o if_o i_o look_v upon_o sin_n as_o against_o god_n than_o i_o look_v upon_o sin_n as_o a_o present_a evil_n upon_o i_o that_o flow_v from_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o sin_n and_o can_v be_v avoid_v and_o this_o evil_n be_v even_o now_o upon_o i_o and_o do_v as_o immediate_o flow_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n as_o light_n do_v from_o the_o sun_n itself_o and_o now_o look_v thus_o upon_o sin_n be_v a_o mighty_a mean_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n and_o then_o for_o avoid_v sin_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v when_o temptation_n come_v you_o say_v it_o be_v strong_a and_o overcome_v i_o now_o will_v you_o avoid_v sin_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v in_o temptation_n then_o do_v as_o we_o read_v of_o joseph_n you_o know_v how_o he_o beat_v off_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o temptation_n and_o when_o he_o may_v have_v do_v the_o evil_a in_o secret_n see_v what_o prevail_v with_o he_o oh_o how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n not_o how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o bring_v danger_n and_o misery_n upon_o i_o but_o how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o and_o sin_n against_o god_n so_o if_o you_o can_v have_v your_o eye_n upon_o sin_n and_o remember_v what_o especial_a thing_n you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o when_o temptation_n come_v you_o can_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o and_o sin_n against_o god_n oh_o remember_v this_o you_o servant_n that_o have_v opportunity_n in_o secret_a to_o do_v evil_a josepth_n be_v a_o servant_n and_o yet_o this_o keep_v off_o that_o temptation_n from_o he_o when_o he_o be_v a_o young_a man_n that_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o joseph_n a_o young_a man_n and_o a_o servant_n when_o the_o temptation_n come_v oh_o

mankind_n the_o dreadful_a give_v of_o the_o law_n his_o dreadful_a judgement_n for_o small_a sin_n and_o example_n of_o his_o wrath_n abroad_o in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o eternal_a torment_n in_o

that_o know_v what_o sin_n be_v there_o be_v very_o severe_a and_o fearful_a thing_n reveal_v in_o the_o word_n against_o sin_n now_o such_o as_o understand_v not_o what_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n be_v be_v ready_a to_o think_v they_o very_o hard_o for_o indeed_o it_o be_v only_o by_o the_o word_n we_o come_v to_o understand_v wherein_o the_o true_a evil_n of_o sin_n lie_v paul_n to_o the_o roman_n
