Woeful Aggravations of a Deceived Heart

A Treatise of Sin: The Deceitfulness of the Heart Unmasked by Anthony Burgess is probably one of the greatest books ever written on the deceitfulness of the human heart. It was first written in 1654 and published as A Treatise of Sin. The book is a masterpiece on the heart's deceitfulness in sin, and formality and hypocrisy in religion. Anthony Burgess' work contains 42 sermons that pierce to the depths of the soul in exposing false religion and the worthless props men lean on to justify themselves before God. Burgess was a master in understanding the heart of man and true and false conversion. The sermons in A Treatise of Sin: The Deceitfulness of the Heart Unmasked cover such topics as the Heart's Deceitfulness in the Matter of Repentance, The Woeful Aggravations of the Deceitfulness of Man's Heart, That All Sins and Transgressions are Damnable Errors, The Ingredients and Aggravations of Presumptuous Sins, Discoveries of Reigning Sin in a Man with its Aggravations, Of Having Only a Name to Live, The Properties of Gross Hypocrisy in the Matters of Religion, and A Discovery of Close Hypocrisy with the Causes of it.
