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

christ_n say_v to_o the_o pharisee_n who_o have_v forwarn_v you_o to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v so_o god_n will_v say_v why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n who_o tell_v you_o this_o i_o

not_o what_o storm_n and_o tempest_n be_v it_o be_v grievous_a to_o they_o when_o they_o come_v to_o know_v they_o sudden_o when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o storm_n or_o tempest_n at_o

it_o beforehand_o yet_o how_o dreadful_a be_v it_o to_o he_o when_o it_o come_v 2_o consider_v christ_n have_v no_o sin_n in_o himself_o to_o weaken_v his_o strength_n and_o take_v away_o his_o strength_n and_o so_o make_v the_o burden_n great_a he_o have_v no_o sin_n but_o only_o by_o imputation_n but_o now_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o we_o we_o have_v so_o much_o sin_n in_o our_o nature_n this_o weaken_v we_o and_o will_v therefore_o make_v the_o burden_n of_o divine_a wrath_n so_o much_o the_o more_o intolerable_a to_o we_o for_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o sound_a man_n if_o a_o great_a weight_n be_v lay_v upon_o a_o man_n healthful_a and_o strong_a he_o feel_v not_o the_o burden_n of_o it_o but_o if_o you_o lay_v the_o same_o weight_n upon_o a_o man_n very_o sick_a and_o weak_a through_o distemper_n of_o body_n it_o be_v grievous_a to_o he_o so_o here_o if_o the_o weight_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o grievous_a to_o christ_n that_o have_v no_o distemper_n of_o weakness_n how_o grievous_a will_v it_o be_v to_o a_o sinner_n that_o be_v distemper_v and_o so_o weaken_v with_o sin_n if_o the_o shoulder_n of_o a_o porter_n be_v sore_o and_o all_o the_o skin_n off_o and_o a_o boil_v upon_o his_o shoulder_n how_o grievous_a will_v the_o burden_n be_v then_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o when_o god_n come_v to_o lay_v the_o burden_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o we_o we_o be_v but_o weak_a creature_n at_o the_o best_a but_o through_o the_o distemper_n of_o sin_n in_o our_o heart_n we_o be_v more_o weak_a and_o more_o unable_a to_o bear_v because_o we_o be_v sore_o and_o have_v boil_v of_o sin_n this_o make_v god_n wrath_n much_o more_o dreadful_a but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o christ_n 3_o christ_n have_v absolute_a perfect_a patience_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o impatiency_n in_o christ_n therefore_o when_o christ_n that_o have_v perfect_a patience_n and_o yet_o do_v thus_o cry_v out_o and_o sweat_n and_o be_v thus_o sorrowful_a under_o it_o sure_o there_o be_v some_o fearful_a burden_n in_o this_o some_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v lie_v and_o roar_v out_o under_o some_o pain_n and_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v great_a but_o have_v they_o perfect_a patience_n they_o will_v not_o make_v such_o dolour_n and_o out-cry_n it_o be_v through_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o patience_n that_o they_o make_v such_o out-cry_n and_o manifest_v such_o sense_n of_o their_o affliction_n but_o christ_n make_v not_o such_o out-cry_n through_o impatiency_n 4_o consider_v christ_n have_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o infinite_a deity_n to_o support_v he_o he_o have_v the_o strength_n of_o god_n he_o be_v god_n and_o man_n he_o have_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o support_v the_o humane_a nature_n which_o no_o creature_n can_v have_v as_o christ_n have_v for_o there_o be_v a_o hypostatical_a union_n between_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n at_o that_o time_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o both_o nature_n yet_o christ_n express_v himself_o thus_o and_o be_v thus_o sensible_a of_o the_o wrath_n upon_o he_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o man._n 5_o consider_v christ_n be_v the_o captain_n of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o suffer_v hereafter_o and_o therefore_o he_o will_v if_o he_o have_v have_v no_o more_o upon_o he_o than_o that_o which_o the_o humane_a nature_n can_v have_v bear_v have_v manifest_v one_o will_v think_v abundance_n of_o resolution_n and_o magnanimity_n and_o not_o have_v cry_v out_o so_o and_o sure_o have_v there_o not_o be_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o deity_n and_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n in_o it_o certain_o he_o that_o be_v the_o captain_n of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o suffer_v he_o will_v have_v manifest_v it_o to_o be_v a_o light_a burden_n he_o meet_v withal_o for_o there_o be_v many_o martyr_n have_v suffer_v outward_o as_o great_a extremity_n as_o ever_o christ_n do_v for_o outward_a torture_n and_o bear_v they_o with_o joy_n therefore_o see_v the_o martyr_n many_o of_o they_o suffer_v great_a torture_n to_o their_o body_n and_o have_v bear_v they_o with_o joy_n no_o sorrow_n nor_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o nor_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v but_o endure_v they_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o joy_n now_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o martyr_n do_v bear_v they_o with_o such_o joy_n and_o christ_n the_o captain_n of_o they_o all_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n and_o cry_v out_o so_o certain_o there_o be_v more_o in_o christ_n suffering_n than_o in_o all_o the_o suffering_n in_o the_o world_n more_o of_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n 6_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v through_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n that_o all_o that_o ever_o do_v suffer_v be_v enable_v to_o suffer_v what_o they_o do_v undergo_v now_o if_o christ_n have_v that_o strength_n that_o through_o he_o all_o the_o martyr_n be_v enable_v to_o suffer_v what_o they_o do_v certain_o christ_n have_v abundance_n of_o strength_n in_o himself_o to_o suffer_v when_o he_o come_v to_o it_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v then_o that_o the_o strength_n whereby_o they_o be_v enable_v to_o suffer_v be_v from_o christ_n they_o manifest_v not_o that_o horror_n and_o trouble_n that_o christ_n himself_o do_v certain_o therefore_o christ_n suffer_v other_o manner_n of_o thing_n than_o they_o do_v 7_o consider_v this_o christ_n do_v know_v what_o a_o infinite_a good_a his_o suffering_n will_v do_v that_o by_o suffer_v he_o shall_v save_v so_o many_o thousand_o reconcile_v god_n and_o man_n glorify_v his_o father_n that_o he_o shall_v do_v the_o great_a work_n for_o god_n and_o his_o father_n that_o ever_o be_v that_o by_o his_o suffering_n there_o shall_v be_v that_o work_n do_v that_o shall_v be_v matter_n of_o eternal_a praise_n and_o hallelujah_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n eternal_o in_o the_o heaven_n and_o yet_o though_o christ_n know_v and_o understand_v what_o good_a shall_v be_v do_v by_o his_o suffering_n yet_o see_v how_o sensible_a he_o be_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o it_o one_o will_v have_v think_v the_o good_a he_o see_v to_o be_v do_v shall_v much_o have_v lighten_v it_o and_o so_o certain_o it_o do_v 8_o consider_v christ_n do_v know_v his_o suffering_n be_v to_o continue_v but_o a_o little_a while_n though_o they_o be_v extreme_a yet_o that_o they_o shall_v last_v but_o for_o a_o few_o hour_n and_o then_o he_o shall_v be_v glorify_v and_o yet_o though_o he_o do_v understand_v his_o

then_o how_o hideous_a shall_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o damn_a be_v to_o they_o when_o as_o every_o damn_a soul_n that_o go_v to_o hell_n know_v certain_o how_o he_o must_v lie_v to_o all_o
