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

man_n now_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o heart_n alienate_v they_o from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n quest_n now_o you_o will_v say_v what_o do_v you_o mean_v when_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o show_v how_o sin_n be_v opposite_a to_o god_n certain_o if_o i_o shall_v come_v and_o tell_v you_o of_o the_o flame_n of_o hell_n and_o torment_n of_o hell_n due_a to_o sin_n perhaps_o i_o may_v scare_v some_o more_o that_o way_n but_o for_o those_o that_o have_v any_o understanding_n and_o true_o know_v the_o excellency_n of_o man_n their_o heart_n will_v more_o rise_v upon_o the_o open_n of_o this_o than_o if_o i_o shall_v spend_v many_o sermon_n to_o open_v the_o torment_n of_o hell_n to_o you_o well_o then_o what_o be_v this_o life_n of_o god_n answ_n 1._o that_o everlasting_a principle_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n whereby_o man_n come_v to_o act_v and_o work_v as_o god_n do_v act_n and_o as_o god_n do_v work_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n as_o the_o utmost_a end_n as_o life_n be_v a_o principle_n whereby_o the_o creature_n move_v within_o himself_o unto_o perfection_n unto_o that_o which_o tend_v to_o perfection_n a_o active_a principle_n within_o itself_o to_o move_v towards_o perfection_n that_o we_o account_v life_n now_o that_o principle_n whereby_o a_o man_n shall_v come_v to_o move_v and_o work_v just_a as_o god_n move_v and_o work_v still_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n that_o be_v to_o have_v the_o likeness_n of_o god_n not_o in_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n but_o the_o same_o in_o proportion_n of_o likeness_n as_o the_o creature_n be_v capable_a of_o how_o be_v that_o you_o will_v say_v thus_o this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o god_n so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v conceive_v of_o he_o that_o god_n be_v a_o continual_a act_n always_o work_v for_o himself_o and_o willing_a of_o himself_o as_o the_o last_o end_n of_o all_o the_o very_a life_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o that_o and_o in_o that_o consist_v the_o nature_n of_o holiness_n now_o then_o when_o a_o man_n have_v such_o a_o principle_n within_o he_o as_o that_o he_o can_v work_v unto_o god_n as_o his_o last_o and_o high_a end_n and_o obey_v god_n as_o his_o chief_a good_a he_o work_v as_o god_n himself_o do_v now_o brethren_n this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o god_n that_o the_o child_n of_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o above_o all_o other_o creature_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o make_v they_o fit_a to_o converse_v with_o god_n himself_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o child_n of_o man_n to_o be_v fit_a to_o converse_v with_o that_o infinite_a glorious_a eternal_a first-being_a of_o all_o thing_n and_o here_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o man_n that_o he_o be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o he_o be_v capable_a of_o this_o excellency_n to_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o infinite_a eternal_a first-being_a for_o many_o know_v no_o more_o excellency_n than_o to_o converse_v with_o meat_n and_o drink_n that_o swine_n and_o dog_n and_o other_o beast_n do_v but_o know_v you_o be_v of_o more_o noble_a nature_n than_o so_o god_n have_v make_v the_o mean_a and_o poor_a in_o this_o congregation_n god_n have_v make_v you_o of_o so_o noble_a a_o nature_n that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o converse_v with_o the_o infinite_a glorious_a first-being_a of_o all_o thing_n as_o we_o know_v the_o excellency_n of_o man_n that_o which_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o man_n and_o man_n be_v this_o that_o this_o man_n that_o live_v in_o a_o mean_a condition_n their_o meanness_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o they_o spend_v all_o their_o day_n in_o converse_n with_o bruit_n beast_n and_o turn_v the_o clod_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o noble_a and_o great_a man_n be_v busy_v in_o state_n affair_n they_o be_v raise_v high_a because_o they_o converse_v with_o prince_n and_o great_a affair_n of_o state_n the_o thing_n they_o converse_v about_o be_v high_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v more_o noble_a and_o high_a than_o other_o man_n as_o some_o child_n of_o man_n know_v no_o other_o excellency_n than_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o play_v and_o be_v filthy_a and_o have_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o the_o beast_n have_v but_o other_o to_o who_o god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o and_o have_v make_v they_o of_o such_o a_o noble_a nature_n that_o when_o other_o be_v in_o base_a act_n of_o uncleanness_n that_o know_v no_o other_o way_n of_o rejoice_v in_o time_n of_o joy_n but_o laugh_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o filthiness_n but_o other_o can_v get_v alone_o and_o there_o contemplate_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o great_a god_n and_o their_o soul_n be_v open_v to_o god_n and_o god_n let_v in_o beam_n of_o himself_o to_o they_o and_o they_o let_v out_o beam_n of_o their_o love_n to_o god_n and_o their_o desire_n to_o god_n there_o be_v a_o intercourse_n between_o heaven_n and_o they_o god_n open_v himself_o to_o they_o and_o they_o open_v their_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o so_o enjoy_v communion_n from_o god_n and_o they_o because_o they_o have_v the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o they_o they_o be_v fit_a to_o converse_v with_o god_n for_o mark_v those_o thing_n that_o converse_v one_o with_o another_o they_o be_v such_o thing_n that_o must_v live_v the_o same_o life_n as_o now_o man_n can_v converse_v with_o man_n why_o because_o he_o live_v the_o same_o life_n that_o man_n live_v but_o man_n be_v not_o so_o fit_a to_o converse_v with_o beast_n because_o they_o live_v not_o the_o same_o life_n though_o some_o man_n live_v even_o the_o very_a life_n of_o beast_n as_o a_o beast_n can_v converse_v with_o plant_n but_o only_o devour_v they_o because_o they_o live_v not_o the_o same_o life_n but_o those_o that_o live_v the_o same_o life_n be_v fit_a for_o converse_v so_o if_o man_n do_v not_o live_v the_o same_o life_n god_n do_v he_o can_v not_o converse_v with_o god_n hence_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n can_v converse_v with_o god_n because_o they_o live_v not_o the_o same_o life_n of_o god_n when_o you_o talk_v of_o converse_v with_o god_n it_o be_v a_o riddle_n to_o many_o man_n why_o because_o they_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o life_n of_o god_n they_o have_v nothing_o of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o they_o but_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o they_o therefore_o they_o can_v converse_v with_o god_n but_o now_o that_o which_o strike_v at_o this_o life_n and_o be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v sin_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n therefore_o ephes_n 2._o beginning_n you_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n sin_n bring_v death_n he_o mean_v not_o a_o bodily_a death_n though_o that_o be_v a_o truth_n but_o there_o be_v this_o death_n the_o life_n of_o god_n be_v go_v all_o man_n by_o nature_n have_v the_o life_n of_o god_n go_v and_o if_o ever_o it_o be_v renew_v it_o be_v by_o a_o mighty_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n but_o sin_n strike_v at_o the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o we_o at_o this_o candle_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o earthen_a pitcher_n 2_o again_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n will_v consist_v in_o this_o as_o to_o make_v a_o man_n converse_v with_o he_o so_o in_o this_o that_o god_n must_v needs_o take_v infinite_a delight_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o those_o that_o live_v his_o life_n as_o before_o in_o look_v upon_o his_o image_n now_o much_o more_o when_o he_o can_v see_v his_o creature_n work_v as_o he_o himself_o work_v this_o be_v the_o delight_n of_o god_n to_o see_v his_o creature_n work_v just_a as_o himself_o as_o a_o man_n take_v delight_n to_o see_v his_o pictute_n but_o abundant_o more_o to_o look_v upon_o himself_o in_o his_o child_n and_o to_o see_v his_o life_n in_o his_o child_n that_o come_v from_o he_o to_o see_v it_o able_a to_o work_v as_o he_o work_v as_o suppose_v any_o artificer_n or_o one_o skill_v in_o navigation_n suppose_v he_o see_v a_o picture_n draw_v of_o navigation_n he_o take_v delight_n in_o that_o because_o there_o be_v something_o of_o himself_o in_o it_o but_o now_o suppose_v he_o have_v a_o child_n and_o he_o put_v skill_n into_o he_o and_o he_o see_v he_o work_v as_o he_o work_v and_o discourse_n about_o naval_a affair_n as_o he_o discourse_v this_o be_v wonderful_o delightful_a to_o he_o so_o when_o god_n shall_v see_v the_o same_o life_n in_o his_o creature_n that_o be_v in_o himself_o that_o he_o work_v and_o will_n as_o he_o do_v this_o take_v the_o very_a heart_n of_o

give_v no_o account_n of_o it_o at_o all_o yea_o their_o trouble_n be_v beyond_o their_o ground_n the_o ground_n that_o they_o be_v trouble_v about_o be_v very_o confuse_v that_o they_o understand_v

in_o his_o earnestness_n and_o understand_v what_o weight_n be_v in_o those_o truth_n you_o hear_v reveal_v this_o be_v somewhat_o like_a when_o the_o spirit_n be_v thus_o ●…ed_v and_o act_v in_o

your_o mind_n close_v with_o this_o if_o you_o be_v only_o melancholy_a this_o will_v make_v you_o more_o dull_a and_o heavy_a but_o this_o make_v you_o more_o lively_a and_o active_a therefore_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n last_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v as_o melancholy_n be_v melancholy_n many_o time_n be_v wear_v out_o with_o time_n and_o physic_n cure_v that_o and_o outward_a comfort_n and_o contentment_n cure_v that_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o wound_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n as_o francis_n spira_n say_v when_o they_o bring_v

that_o lie_v rot_v and_o rankle_v in_o the_o flesh_n a_o thorn_n when_o it_o first_o get_v in_o put_v one_o to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n perhaps_o if_o it_o be_v let_v alone_o the_o pain_n
