Edwards appeals to pathos the strongest. He uses words and phrases that evoke fear. For example he says “...hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them" (Edwards). Edwards warns the puritans to follow God so that they don't end up in Hell and the words and phrases he uses like "flames gather and flash about them" cause the reader to be fearful of Hell. This causes the puritans to follow his preachings.

Edwards appeals to pathos to strike fear into the hearts of the audience. Edwards forewarns, "The devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them” (Edwards, line 32-33). This supports the use of pathos, because it leads one to question their true integrity. Edwards also implements a rhetorical question at the end of his sermon to leave the audience in suspense. He asserts “How can you rest one moment in such a condition? (Edwards, line 104-105). The strategical use of a rhetorical question at the end of the sermon gives a tone of urgency and leaves the audience with something to contemplate.

Edwards uses pathos very effectively. He appeals to this by inflicting fear and guilt into the audience. Edwards says, "“The devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them.” (Edwards 33-34) this makes the audience feel like they are not doing enough, and not being devout Christians. The effect is that the Puritans will put more effort in to being better Christians so that they do not go to hell. Also in the quote, he uses imagery to frighten the audience about their inevitable doom in the pits of hell. When he says the devil is waiting for them, the audience imagines that since they are not being as good as they can, they will go to hell and suffer with the devil.

The strongest appeal Edwards used was pathos and it effected the audience by instilling fear. For example Edwards says "...a reason why you do not this very moment drop down into hell". This quote talks about how god could send them to hell and because the Puritans are so religiously devoted to God, they are fearful of this action. The strongest rhetorical strategy Edwards uses is imagery because this was a way for him to make hell seem more real to his Puritan followers, therefore evoking more fear from them. "The glittering sword is whet, and hold over them, and the pit hath opened it's mouth under them". Edwards uses this quote to show how God is dangling the Puritans over the pit of hell. This further evokes fear because Edwards makes hell more of a dangerous reality.

The strongest appeal that Edwards uses in his sermon is pathos. He uses pathos to invoke fear and guilt into the audience when he says, "He looks upon you as worth of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight." (Edwards, line 52).  He also uses imagery and metaphors to instill fear as well.  "You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it, and ready every moment to singe it, and it asunder." (Edwards). This is an example of these strategies used throughout Edwards speech.

Pathos is key in Johnathan Edwards argument. He says, "Thus it is that natural men are held in the hand of God, over the pit of hell; they have deserved the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it" (Edwards). In this part of Edwards' sermon, he declares that God is already angry with all of the people, and they are already sentenced to death. This provokes fear by how Edwards is speaking and trying to influence the people that they need to need to change. He uses imagery throughout the semen as well. Edwards says, "Hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them, and swallow them up" (Edwards). This strong use of imagery shows his audience what could happen to them for making God angry. They picture this in their minds and imagine what could be done to their lives and how they would die. Edwards' fear-provoking speech is what makes people feel the need to be converted.

The strongest appeal Edward's uses would be Pathos to insight fear and guilt in the audience. He used loaded language and strong words that would make the audience feel bad and feel scared of going to hell and being at the hands of an angry god. An example of this would be in line 52 when he says the sinners are, "worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire...". His strongest strategy would be his biblical allusion in lines 75-the end. He did this to show the power of God's anger as it is shown in the bible to invoke more fear to the audience and convince them to stay/become more Puritan.

Edwards strongest appeal is pathos which invokes fear. Edwards proclaims that "The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire ..." (line 50-51). The speakers use of a simile strikes fear into the Puritans. The audience is pressured with the possibility that they might not go to heaven.This helps Edwards get his message across that God will punish them for their sins.

The strongest appeal which Edwards used was pathos. Edwards was pulling from fear. An example of this was "The God that holds you over the pit of Hell, much as we hold a spider over the fire; abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked. This evokes fear in the audience as they realize that God is extremely powerful over deciding whether or not they are going to Hell. This inspires them to go out and live a better life for God. The strongest strategy would be his diction and his tone. This is shown when he uses words such as "Everlasting wrath" and "It would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness" in reference to God's anger. This would again evoke fear in the minds of the congregation as they realize the true extent to which God is angry at them and that they must reform is they do not wished to be damned to eternal suffering. Therefore, his appeals are extremely effective in accomplishing Edwards' goal of getting people to become more Puritan.

Edwards' strongest appeal is to pathos. Edwards says “there is nothing else that is to be given as a reason why you do not this very moment drop down into hell,”(Edwards). This appeals to pathos by the emotion of fear. Edwards wants his audience to fear hell in order to get them to understand that they could be drawn down to hell any minute and its God decision so they should fear God. This was a successful appeal because Edwards made many members of his audience cry because they were examining themselves and they understood that they were not good enough for God. Edwards' strongest rhetorical strategy is imagery. He describes the scariness of the devil and talks about the fires in hell which support his appeal to pathos through inspiring fear in his audience.

Edwards strongest appeal is pathos, it instilled fear in its congregation. A quote that describes these is "You are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes" (Edwards). The strongest strategy that he used was allusion when he references the Bible. He refers to the bible when he says, "It would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness and wrath if Almighty God one moment, but you must suffer it to all eternity" (Edwards). He wanted to turn more people to Puritans, so by referencing the Bible he could persuade people to follow the Puritan religion.
