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

shall_v be_v worth_a all_o his_o work_n now_o god_n have_v some_o end_n therefore_o in_o make_v thou_o and_o he_o must_v needs_o have_v some_o excellent_a end_n but_o now_o what_o do_v i_o think_v in_o my_o conscience_n be_v the_o end_n of_o god_n in_o make_v of_o the_o world_n and_o i_o what_o be_v it_o for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o that_o man_n and_o woman_n may_v live_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o lie_v and_o swear_v and_o commit_v such_o wickedness_n be_v this_o god_n end_n i_o put_v it_o to_o your_o conscience_n every_o sinful_a man_n or_o woman_n think_v how_o have_v thou_o live_v what_o have_v thou_o do_v in_o all_o thy_o life_n look_v back_o to_o thy_o former_a life_n and_o think_v how_o have_v thou_o spend_v it_o i_o have_v get_v money_n and_o what_o to_o do_v be_v it_o only_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o the_o like_a and_o thou_o have_v live_v in_o a_o course_n of_o nature_n thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o thus_o now_o i_o put_v this_o to_o thou_o do_v thou_o think_v in_o thy_o conscience_n this_o be_v the_o end_n thou_o live_v in_o the_o world_n for_o do_v god_n when_o from_o all_o eternity_n he_o intend_v to_o make_v such_o a_o creature_n as_o thou_o be_v to_o live_v in_o such_o a_o time_n in_o such_o a_o place_n and_o preserve_v thou_o all_o this_o while_n from_o such_o danger_n at_o sea_n or_o at_o land_n i_o say_v do_v god_n aim_v at_o no_o other_o end_n but_o this_o that_o thou_o shall_v live_v to_o do_v thus_o certain_o thy_o conscience_n will_v condemn_v thou_o if_o thou_o have_v but_o a_o heart_n for_o to_o think_v of_o it_o thou_o be_v upon_o thy_o sick_a bed_n and_o then_o thou_o cry_v to_o god_n to_o spare_v thou_o well_o thou_o do_v escape_v now_o i_o put_v this_o to_o thou_o do_v thou_o think_v god_n spare_v thou_o and_o give_v thou_o thy_o life_n to_o live_v to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o this_o do_v thou_o think_v this_o be_v the_o only_a end_n take_v heed_n thou_o do_v not_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o cross_v god_n in_o his_o end_n for_o god_n will_v have_v his_o end_n one_o way_n or_o other_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v at_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o cost_n to_o deliver_v another_o man_n from_o misery_n redeem_v he_o from_o captivity_n and_o when_o he_o have_v bring_v he_o home_o he_o rail_v at_o he_o that_o do_v this_o for_o he_o and_o do_v he_o all_o the_o mischief_n he_o can_v and_o in_o any_o man_n account_n he_o be_v exceed_o wrong_v that_o have_v do_v thus_o and_o thus_o for_o one_o that_o be_v thereby_o as_o it_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o yet_o he_o live_v and_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o wrong_a and_o abuse_v he_o certain_o then_o god_n be_v wrong_v when_o he_o have_v give_v thou_o a_o body_n deliver_v thou_o from_o such_o and_o such_o danger_n and_o thou_o live_v to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o satisfy_v thy_o lust_n thou_o exceed_o wrong_v god_n this_o be_v so_o clear_a that_o a_o man_n will_v wonder_v where_o man_n conscience_n be_v that_o they_o live_v quiet_o and_o that_o their_o conscience_n fly_v not_o in_o their_o face_n continual_o certain_o when_o god_n shall_v enlighten_v the_o conscience_n and_o bring_v these_o thing_n with_o power_n to_o their_o soul_n than_o sinner_n will_v stand_v amaze_v and_o wonder_v they_o see_v not_o this_o before_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o clear_a that_o its_o a_o wonder_n i_o be_v so_o blind_a that_o i_o have_v not_o eye_n to_o see_v these_o before_o and_o yet_o who_o lay_v these_o thing_n to_o heart_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v do_v with_o this_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o explanation_n the_o wrong_a sin_n do_v to_o god_n in_o his_o nature_n work_v against_o and_o strike_v at_o god_n and_o in_o his_o relation_n etc._n etc._n now_o there_o be_v i_o confess_v those_o thing_n i_o most_o aim_v at_o in_o this_o work_n behind_o therefore_o i_o will_v wind_v up_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o in_o some_o corollary_n and_o consequence_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o hence_o only_o thus_o much_o when_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o affliction_n yea_o a_o great_a evil_n than_o all_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n then_o you_o may_v see_v by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v how_o this_o truth_n result_v out_o of_o these_o consequence_n because_o it_o wrong_v god_n and_o god_n be_v so_o infinite_o good_a if_o any_o man_n be_v afflict_v or_o perish_v in_o hell_n eternal_o it_o be_v but_o the_o good_a of_o a_o creature_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o a_o creature_n cross_v in_o this_o but_o in_o sin_n there_o be_v the_o cross_v of_o the_o good_a of_o a_o infinite_a god_n and_o of_o his_o glory_n and_o there_o be_v more_o good_a in_o god_n glory_n than_o in_o all_o the_o peace_n and_o comfort_n of_o all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n and_o if_o so_o then_o certain_o there_o must_v be_v more_o evil_a in_o sin_n that_o be_v cross_v to_o god_n glory_n than_o in_o all_o pain_n and_o torment_n that_o be_v but_o only_o cross_v to_o the_o peace_n and_o comfort_n that_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n i_o say_v hence_o follow_v these_o corollary_n chap._n xv._n the_o first_o corollary_n it_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o but_o few_o man_n know_v what_o they_o do_v when_o they_o sin_n against_o god._n first_o from_o this_o certain_o it_o do_v evident_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v but_o few_o man_n that_o know_v what_o they_o do_v in_o sin_v against_o god_n nor_o have_v not_o know_v all_o this_o while_n it_o be_v the_o complaint_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n no_o man_n say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v certain_o man_n in_o way_n of_o sin_n never_o say_v oh_o lord_n what_o have_v i_o do_v give_v i_o but_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o have_v go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o sin_n that_o have_v imagine_v they_o have_v wrong_v god_n so_o much_o that_o they_o have_v do_v so_o much_o against_o the_o infinite_a eternal_a glorious_a god_n they_o think_v indeed_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o what_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v but_o it_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o matter_n it_o be_v not_o only_o do_v what_o you_o shall_v not_o do_v but_o it_o be_v a_o wrong_n to_o the_o infinite_a glorious_a god_n and_o therefore_o certain_o it_o appear_v but_o few_o man_n know_v god_n or_o know_v sin_n neither_o know_v what_o that_o god_n be_v with_o who_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v neither_o know_v what_o sin_n be_v and_o how_o it_o make_v against_o that_o god_n with_o who_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v if_o man_n do_v only_o know_v god_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v a_o notable_a place_n in_o the_o 1_o john_n 2._o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o if_o there_o be_v any_o man_n in_o the_o congregation_n that_o say_v he_o know_v god_n and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n he_o lie_v say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n what_o do_v thou_o know_v god_n man_n or_o woman_n sinner_n man_n or_o woman_n do_v thou_o know_v god_n that_o infinite_a glorious_a eternal_a god_n with_o who_o thou_o have_v to_o do_v and_o not_o to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n but_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o sin_n certain_o thou_o be_v a_o liar_n it_o may_v be_v many_o of_o you_o be_v apt_a to_o say_v we_o know_v god_n what_o need_v we_o have_v so_o much_o of_o god_n preach_v if_o you_o say_v you_o know_v god_n and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n you_o be_v a_o liar_n but_o now_o join_v these_o together_o to_o know_v what_o a_o glorious_a god_n this_o be_v and_o how_o sin_n work_v against_o this_o god_n some_o know_v somewhat_o of_o god_n attribute_n and_o can_v discourse_v of_o he_o yet_o perhaps_o never_o know_v before_o how_o sin_n make_v against_o this_o god_n this_o be_v that_o people_n fail_v in_o certain_o both_o together_o have_v not_o be_v know_v by_o most_o people_n i_o remember_v a_o speech_n i_o have_v read_v of_o a_o german_a divine_a upon_o his_o sick_a bed_n he_o cry_v out_o thus_o in_o this_o disease_n i_o have_v learn_v what_o sin_n be_v and_o how_o great_a the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v these_o together_o we_o can_v know_v what_o sin_n be_v except_o we_o know_v how_o great_a the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v put_v these_o together_o and_o these_o two_o together_o will_v make_v man_n understand_v that_o they_o do_v never_o consider_v of_o before_o what_o their_o life_n be_v and_o how_o people_n go_v on_o in_o a_o resolute_a inconsiderate_a way_n and_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v and_o what_o god_n be_v therefore_o we_o may_v pray_v as_o christ_n in_o another_o case_n father_n
