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

know_v better_a to_o provide_v for_o thyself_o than_o in_o that_o way_n god_n have_v set_v thou_o how_o do_v thou_o cast_v folly_n on_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o set_v thy_o shallow_a way_n and_o

all_o the_o other_o attribute_n plead_v against_o i_o yet_o i_o hope_v mercy_n will_v plead_v for_o i_o answ_n but_o that_o plead_v against_o thou_o too_o for_o thou_o wrong_v his_o mercy_n also_o
