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

to_o hold_v this_o forth_o that_o there_o be_v not_o sufficient_a good_a there_o but_o that_o the_o creature_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o seek_v for_o it_o elsewhere_o out_o of_o god_n so_o long_o as_o

a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o melancholy_a and_o this_o 1_o as_o first_o god_n may_v make_v use_n of_o melancholy_a to_o bring_v in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o thus_o if_o it_o

and_o weigh_v thing_n than_o god_n make_v use_v of_o a_o degree_n of_o melancholy_a to_o make_v man_n and_o woman_n to_o know_v themselves_o and_o sin_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a

the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o the_o most_o eminent_a man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o great_a matter_n be_v melancholy_a because_o they_o be_v serious_a in_o their_o thought_n whereas_o otherman_n

be_v a_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n to_o be_v give_v over_o to_o a_o light_n vain_a spirit_n that_o consider_v nothing_o now_o when_o god_n make_v use_v of_o this_o particular_a degree_n of_o

so_o mighty_a and_o strong_a that_o it_o may_v alter_v the_o body_n and_o consume_v the_o very_a spirit_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o alter_v the_o temper_n of_o blood_n it_o

4._o the_o more_o melancholy_a any_o have_v the_o less_o able_a be_v they_o to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n but_o the_o more_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n the_o more_o able_a to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n diff._n 5._o melancholy_n put_v a_o dulness_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n put_v a_o mighty_a activity_n upon_o man_n spirit_n diff._n 6._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v the_o way_n melancholy_a may_v first_o melancholy_a it_o be_v many_o time_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n where_o there_o be_v most_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a estate_n it_o may_v consist_v with_o gross_a ignorance_n many_o melancholy_a people_n be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o sottish_a and_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n can_v never_o come_v without_o some_o new_a light_n of_o god_n dart_v in_o and_o settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o come_v always_o with_o some_o enlighten_v work_n of_o the_o spirit_n melancholy_n be_v many_o time_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n within_o the_o mind_n be_v dark_a where_o melancholy_a prevail_v and_o many_o time_n gross_a ignorance_n but_o never_o any_o true_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n but_o god_n come_v in_o with_o some_o light_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v trouble_v and_o say_v it_o be_v for_o sin_n i_o put_v this_o to_o you_o what_o have_v god_n discover_v to_o you_o now_o more_o than_o before_o what_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v god_n settle_v upon_o their_o heart_n more_o than_o before_o if_o they_o can_v give_v no_o further_o account_v of_o no_o other_o light_n let_v into_o they_o than_o before_o or_o further_a truth_n let_v in_o upon_o their_o heart_n than_o before_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v suspect_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_n for_o sin_n as_o many_o melancholy_a people_n have_v the_o name_n of_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n and_o they_o have_v fear_n of_o hell_n because_o of_o dark_a thought_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o soul_n except_o it_o be_v with_o convincement_n of_o some_o new_a light_n or_o settle_v some_o truth_n more_o upon_o the_o soul_n than_o before_o second_o melancholliness_n come_v by_o degree_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n alteration_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o sudden_a thing_n the_o temper_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n body_n can_v sudden_o be_v alter_v to_o any_o extremity_n but_o gradual_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n come_v many_o time_n as_o a_o flash_n of_o lightning_n from_o heaven_n many_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v come_v to_o the_o congregation_n with_o scornful_a spirit_n profane_a wicked_a and_o ungodly_a never_o know_v what_o sin_n mean_v nor_o trouble_v for_o sin_n mean_v and_o god_n have_v meet_v with_o they_o in_o the_o word_n and_o fasten_v some_o sentence_n upon_o their_o heart_n so_o that_o they_o fall_v down_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o that_o come_v just_a as_o a_o arrow_n strike_v into_o their_o liver_n and_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o &_o have_v go_v away_o with_o horror_n of_o soul_n and_o therefore_o this_o have_v not_o be_v melancholliness_n certain_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n never_o so_o sudden_o alter_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o work_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o bondage_n come_v to_o work_v it_o need_v no_o matter_n before_o no_o preparative_n matter_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o it_o work_v immediate_o without_o any_o preparation_n therefore_o many_o man_n that_o understand_v as_o little_a of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v in_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o god_n let_v some_o truth_n reach_v they_o
shall_v sin_v against_o and_o wound_v your_o own_o conscience_n therefore_o let_v they_o do_v what_o they_o will_v you_o can_v do_v what_o be_v require_v let_v master_n rage_n and_o be_v angry_a and_o husband_n be_v displease_v you_o can_v yield_v your_o conscience_n will_v not_o suffer_v you_o now_o that_o you_o may_v convince_v they_o that_o it_o be_v conscience_n and_o not_o stubbornness_n how_o shall_v this_o be_v know_v that_o it_o be_v consciousness_n and_o not_o stubbornness_n for_o we_o can_v see_v into_o your_o conscience_n i_o give_v you_o this_o note_n to_o discover_v it_o to_o they_o be_v more_o pliable_a and_o yield_a in_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o there_o to_o go_v beyond_o all_o other_o woman_n or_o child_n or_o servant_n as_o now_o if_o there_o be_v a_o woman_n who_o conscience_n can_v yield_v to_o some_o thing_n and_o her_o husband_n be_v displease_v because_o he_o believe_v it_o be_v stoutness_n now_o that_o her_o husband_n may_v believe_v it_o conscience_n

and_o stubborn_a in_o other_o thing_n why_o because_o in_o this_o i_o find_v she_o more_o pliable_a and_o yield_v and_o willing_a than_o before_o so_o for_o servant_n if_o you_o can_v yield_v in_o that_o your_o master_n will_v have_v you_o strive_v to_o give_v he_o the_o more_o content_a in_o other_o thing_n child_n to_o your_o parent_n in_o other_o thing_n be_v more_o dutiful_a and_o one_o neighbour_n to_o another_o if_o neighbour_n will_v have_v you_o do_v that_o which_o be_v against_o your_o conscience_n when_o you_o can_v do_v that_o yet_o in_o other_o thing_n yield_v to_o your_o own_o prejudice_n to_o convince_v they_o that_o in_o what_o you_o do_v not_o yield_v it_o be_v meerlie_o out_o of_o conscience_n and_o not_o stubbornness_n this_o be_v the_o four_o use_n i_o may_v here_o have_v go_v further_o and_o if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o evil_n in_o sin_n i_o will_v have_v labour_v with_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o come_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o all_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o to_o have_v stop_v sinner_n in_o their_o sinful_a way_n and_o course_n and_o likewise_o to_o have_v draw_v sinner_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v make_v man_n and_o woman_n to_o prize_n

of_o all_o i_o have_v say_v that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v to_o esteem_n christ_n and_o prize_n christ_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n though_o what_o i_o have_v say_v seem_v legal_a yet_o certain_o it_o

the_o evil_a of_o sin_n come_v to_o be_v apprehend_v and_o the_o soul_n make_v sensible_a of_o they_o oh_o how_o sweet_a and_o precious_a and_o dear_a will_n christ_n be_v to_o such_o a_o soul_n and_o
