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

thou_o from_o it_o yea_o the_o guilt_n so_o remain_v that_o though_o thou_o feel_v it_o not_o now_o for_o the_o present_a it_o may_v stick_v terrible_o many_o year_n after_o but_o affliction_n be_v terrible_a only_o for_o the_o present_a not_o for_o afterward_o but_o guilt_n and_o sin_n lay_v a_o foundation_n of_o mis●…_n for_o many_o year_n after_o nay_o many_o time_n it_o be_v grievous_a painful_a to_o the_o soul_n long_o after_o it_o be_v commit_v as_o it_o be_v in_o joseph_n brethren_n we_o read_v of_o they_o that_o they_o commit_v that_o great_a sin_n against_o their_o brother_n and_o it_o trouble_v they_o not_o a_o great_a while_n but_o twenty_o two_o year_n after_o when_o they_o be_v in_o a_o affliction_n than_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n come_v a_o fresh_a oh_o then_o we_o sin_v against_o our_o brother_n when_o they_o be_v in_o prison_n there_o now_o it_o be_v twenty_o two_o year_n from_o the_o time_n they_o commit_v that_o sin_n to_o that_o time_n when_o

perhaps_o twenty_o may_v be_v forty_o year_n after_o and_o you_o that_o be_v young_a take_v heed_n and_o know_v that_o sin_n be_v more_o evil_a than_o any_o affliction_n for_o the_o sin_n that_o you_o commit_v when_o you_o be_v young_a in_o your_o master_n family_n the_o guilt_n may_v abide_v upon_o you_o and_o youthful_a sin_n may_v prove_v age_n terror_n it_o may_v be_v with_o you_o as_o with_o a_o man_n that_o get_v a_o bruis_fw-la when_o he_o be_v young_a he_o feel_v it_o not_o but_o when_o he_o be_v old_a than_o it_o ache_n in_o his_o bone_n and_o put_v he_o to_o terrible_a pain_n many_o time_n so_o many_o young_a people_n feel_v not_o sin_n when_o their_o blood_n be_v hot_a but_o afterward_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n abide_v upon_o they_o and_o be_v the_o torment_n of_o their_o soul_n when_o their_o blood_n be_v cold_a now_o what_o evil_a be_v there_o in_o sin_n that_o may_v do_v a_o man_n mischief_n perhaps_o twenty_o or_o forty_o year_n hence_o as_o it_o be_v with_o some_o

god_n and_o their_o soul_n their_o suffering_n be_v joyful_a and_o they_o can_v rejoice_v in_o tribulation_n and_o trouble_n as_o the_o martyr_n in_o persecution_n how_o do_v they_o rejoice_v and_o glory_n in_o their_o suffering_n with_o what_o a_o spirit_n of_o magnanimity_n do_v they_o come_v to_o their_o suffering_n but_o take_v those_o who_o suffer_v through_o guilt_n as_o malefactor_n when_o they_o come_v to_o suffer_v what_o shame_n and_o confusion_n be_v upon_o they_o thus_o affliction_n be_v nothing_o to_o they_o that_o have_v no_o guilt_n but_o those_o that_o have_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n upon_o they_o when_o they_o come_v to_o suffer_v their_o guilt_n be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o than_o their_o affliction_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o man_n guilty_a of_o treason_n when_o he_o come_v to_o suffer_v for_o it_o there_o be_v shame_n and_o confusion_n and_o dismal_a darkness_n in_o the_o spirit_n where_o there_o be_v guilt_n but_o let_v one_o be_v accuse_v for_o treason_n or_o any_o such_o horrible_a crime_n and_o no_o guilt_n upon_o the_o spirit_n such_o a_o one_o can_v go_v on_o with_o joy_n and_o comfort_n and_o peace_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v do_v to_o he_o be_v very_o little_a or_o nothing_o when_o guilt_n be_v remove_v the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v no_o suffering_n can_v countervail_v the_o

so_o it_o be_v true_a when_o god_n come_v it_o be_v nothing_o if_o god_n and_o we_o be_v at_o peace_n but_o now_o when_o god_n come_v with_o any_o such_o affliction_n as_o the_o very_a affliction_n
