Edwards really used the people's fear of angering God to his advantage. lines such as "The glittering sword is whet and held over them, and the pit hath opened its mouth under them..." show that God is ready to cast them to hell at any moment. he can use this fear to move them towards being reborn and listening to him.

The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you.

Because being born is a sin, edwards uses this as an argument to persuade the people

Wrath of almighty god. He uses strong words to give fear to things the people care about most.

"God is a great deal more angry with great numbers that are now on earth" This strikes the fear of going to hell in the reader.

...God in the least bound by any promise to hold them up one moment; the devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them...

" God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood."

"...the wrath and infinite misery! But this is the dismissal case of every soul in this congregation that has not been reborn..."

# data[].attributes.body
It is everlasting wrath

He uses the feeling of fear to make the ¨sinners¨ afraid of what will happen to them if they do not become reborn. ex. They are now the objects of that very same anger and wrath of God, that is expressed in the torments of hell. They refer to those not reborned.

# data[].attributes.body
"...that is expressed in the torments of hell" whenever hell is mentioned or God's wrath this plays on the listeners emotion because they don't want to experience hell or God's wrath.

"The god that holds you over the pit of hell,much as one holds a poder or some loathsome insect over the fire"

This appeals to pathos since it makes the reader fear the ease in which god cast you into hell

# data[].attributes.body
The wrath of God burns against them

# data[].attributes.body
The God holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over a fire, abhors you... his wrath toward you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire. This appeals to pathos because the sermon is trying to scare the audience to convert or to be born again so that you will not be sent to hell. Saying that you will never reach heaven because God abhors you or shows extreme hatred.
