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

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

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

of_o christ_n himself_o that_o have_v the_o burden_n of_o sin_n trouble_v of_o spirit_n i_o can_v so_o proper_o call_v it_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o there_o be_v a_o substantial_a

second_o i_o be_o to_o show_v you_o some_o difference_n between_o melancholy_a distemper_n and_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n first_o these_o thought_n of_o thou_o they_o certain_o eome_v from_o either_o abundance_n of_o ignorance_n or_o atheism_n or_o desperate_a slight_n of_o god_n one_o of_o these_o three_o cause_n 1_v ordinary_o these_o thought_n that_o man_n have_v of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n to_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n than_o such_o melanchoby_a conceit_n they_o do_v come_v from_o gross_a ignorance_n thou_o know_v not_o god_n thou_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v

to_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o francis_n spir●_n as_o i_o open_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n i_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o that_o example_n further_o because_o a_o notable_a

eternal_o i_o must_v endure_v the_o eternal_a wrath_n of_o god_n that_o lie_v heavy_a upon_o his_o spirit_n let_v any_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n the_o stout_a proud_a spirit_n that_o
