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

into_o the_o soul_n god_n use_v self_n argument_n and_o self_n motive_n to_o further_o the_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v so_o yet_o self_n motive_n and_o self_n argument_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a and_o high_a of_o all_o but_o 3._o that_o which_o i_o most_o pitch_n upon_o and_o most_o full_o answer_v this_o question_n be_v this_o that_o if_o we_o do_v but_o know_v wherein_o ourselves_o good_a consist_v which_o be_v certain_o to_o live_v to_o god_n ourselves_o good_a be_v in_o this_o not_o only_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o our_o own_o good_a and_o happiness_n ourselves_o good_a be_v in_o our_o live_n to_o god_n that_o infinite_a first-being_a of_o all_o thing_n now_o if_o we_o understand_v this_o i_o say_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v ourselves_o good_a we_o may_v make_v to_o be_v our_o high_a aim_n in_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o in_o do_v any_o good_a that_o thing_n w_o ch_z be_v ourselves_o good_a but_o we_o must_v not_o make_v it_o our_o high_a aim_n as_o it_o be_v ourselves_o good_a we_o must_v look_v to_o god_n above_o ourselves_o but_o still_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v ourselves_o good_a our_o own_o good_a may_v be_v make_v our_o high_a aim_n of_o all_o which_o be_v our_o live_n to_o god_n and_o his_o praise_n thus_o god_n have_v connex_v our_o good_a and_o his_o glory_n together_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o high_a end_n of_o all_o i_o must_v aim_v at_o to_o wit_n god_n glory_n and_o his_o praise_n that_o be_v also_o our_o high_a good_a and_o so_o we_o may_v aim_v at_o it_o in_o our_o chief_a aim_n second_o if_o sin_n make_v so_o against_o we_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o three_o use_n of_o it_o use_v 1_o then_o we_o from_o hence_o see_v the_o desperate_a maliciousness_n that_o be_v in_o sin_n it_o follow_v thus_o what_o for_o a_o creature_n to_o sin_n against_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o to_o get_v no_o good_a to_o himself_o neither_o yea_o to_o do_v hurt_v to_o himself_o too_o this_o be_v horrible_a mischief_n and_o malice_n we_o account_v it_o horrible_a malice_n against_o man_n if_o any_o man_n be_v so_o notorious_o malicious_a that_o he_o seek_v to_o do_v

maliciousness_n against_o man_n than_o there_o be_v certain_o malice_n in_o sin_n against_o god_n for_o when_o thou_o sin_v against_o god_n suppose_v thou_o shall_v get_v never_o so_o much_o good_a suppose_v thou_o by_o sin_n one_o sin_n can_v get_v the_o the_o great_a good_a that_o ever_o any_o creature_n have_v yet_o thou_o must_v not_o commit_v it_o it_o be_v wickedness_n to_o do_v it_o but_o what_o say_v thou_o to_o this_o that_o when_o thou_o sin_v against_o god_n thou_o mischief_a thyself_o not_o only_o get_v no_o good_a but_o do_v that_o which_o be_v the_o great_a wrong_a and_o evil_a to_o thyself_o and_o yet_o will_v thou_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n against_o god_n oh_o what_o do_v thou_o think_v of_o god_n and_o what_o hurt_n have_v god_n do_v to_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v be_v so_o malicious_a against_o he_o that_o thou_o will_v dishonour_v he_o and_o strike_v at_o he_o though_o thou_o get_v nothing_o thyself_o nay_o though_o thou_o do_v undo_v thyself_o by_o it_o man_n will_v rather_o go_v on_o in_o that_o way_n that_o be_v dishonourable_a to_o god_n though_o they_o venture_v their_o own_o damnation_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o high_a expression_n we_o can_v have_v against_o our_o enemy_n i_o will_v be_v even_o with_o he_o i_o will_v have_v my_o mind_n of_o he_o or_o i_o wilspend_v all_o i_o have_v to_o a_o groat_n this_o be_v desperate_a

all_o to_o look_v with_o pity_n and_o abundance_n of_o commisseration_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o sin_n ah_o poor_a creature_n they_o undo_v themselves_o their_o

will_v undo_v himself_o you_o pity_v he_o upon_o that_o ground_n because_o he_o undo_v himself_o the_o more_o hand_n a_o man_n have_v in_o do_v himself_o hurt_v the_o more_o he_o be_v to_o be_v pity_v
