Predestination

shburke — 2015-09-21 23:35:24 UTC

Everyone's fate is predetermined and people can not change if they will be dammed or saved

shburke — 2015-09-21 23:36:11 UTC

Jonathan Edwards uses metaphores as well as vivid imagery to convey the belief of predestination.

God's Will

shburke — 2015-09-21 23:40:58 UTC

God's will is the only thing between people and the fiery depths of hell

shburke — 2015-09-21 23:50:13 UTC

The Author used vivid imagery of hell to induce fear and guilt among readers.

shburke — 2015-09-21 23:51:27 UTC

"And all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you, and keep you out of hell, then a spider"

shburke — 2015-09-21 23:53:12 UTC

"The flames gather and flash around them"

The Unknown

shburke — 2015-09-21 23:57:14 UTC

We do not know when/ if we will be damned or saved

shburke — 2015-09-22 00:09:44 UTC

"We do not know who they are, or in what seats they sit, or what thoughts they now have"

shburke — 2015-09-22 00:14:11 UTC

Edwards uses generalizations along with leaving some thoughts open ended to convey the constant fear of the unknown and to leave the readers wondering what's to come.

Damnation

shburke — 2015-09-22 00:17:45 UTC

Eternal damnation is the undeniable fate for most people.

shburke — 2015-09-22 00:20:00 UTC

The author uses repetition to remind people of the possibility of hell to scare and inform those reading

shburke — 2015-09-22 00:26:08 UTC

"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."

Being able to practice the religion you chose in the way that you chose

shburke — 2015-09-22 00:46:42 UTC

The author uses specific tones to show the emotion and to help clarify the text

shburke — 2015-09-22 00:48:41 UTC

Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to lan

shburke — 2015-09-22 03:02:03 UTC

"And thought themselves lucky to get out of those dangers before night overcame them, as by God's good providence they did."

shburke — 2015-09-22 03:03:54 UTC

The author uses plain and simple text to show that the Puritans lived a plain life and only wished to serve the Lord

shburke — 2015-09-22 03:11:53 UTC

"But with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed them meat, made their beds, washed their lothsoam clothes."
