Consider the fearful danger you are in: It is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that you are held over in the hand of that God, whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the damned in hell." (109)

Through this quote, sinners are symbolized by a spider as spiders were often regarded with disgust. Edwards use of vivid imagery frightened churchgoers in a sense that only God could keep sinners from falling into the hell where they would be tortured endlessly, similarly to how the people controlled the spider's fate.
