He uses a simile to compare that God views us in the same way that we view the worst creature on the face of the earth.
There is also a recurring symbol of spiders and fire throughout the sermon. ]]> 2020-10-01 16:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vtphung101/sinnersper1/wish/795387220 "The wrath of God is like great waters that are dammed for the present; they increase more and more, and rise higher and higher, till an outlet is given; and the longer the stream is stopped, the more rapid and mighty is its course, when once it is let loose." (108) vtphung101 https://padlet.com/vtphung101/sinnersper1/wish/799474169 Edward creates the image of cursed waters by placing an emphasis on words like stream, floods, waters, and floodgate in his sermon. He continues by comparing God's wrath to the cursed waters, expressing God has a large amount of pent up anger that is just waiting to be released when "an outlet is given", the outlet being the subjects of hell. ]]> 2020-10-03 04:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vtphung101/sinnersper1/wish/799474169
