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

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
