Excerpt from Edwards on Revivals, Containing a Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God in the Conversion of Many Hundred Souls in Northampton, Massachusetts, A. D. 1735: Also, Thoughts on the Revival of Religion in New England, 1742, and the Way in Which It Ought to Be Acknowledged and Promoted There has been a great and just complaint for many years among the ministers and churches in Old England, and in New, (except about the time of the late earthquake there, ) that the work of conversion goes on very slowly, that the Spirit of God in his saving influences is much withdrawn from the ministrations of his word, and there are few that receive the report of the gospel, with any eminent success upon their hearts. But as the gospel is the same divine instrument of grace still, as ever it was in the days of the apostles, so our ascended Savior now and then takes a special occasion to manifest the divinity of this gospel by a plentiful efl'usion of his Spirit where it is preached then sinners are turned into saints in numbers, and there is a new face of things spread over a town or country The wilderness and the solitary places are glad, the desert rejoices and blossoms as' the rose and surely concerningthis instance we may add, that they have seen the glory of the Lord there, and the excellency of our God they have seen the outgoings of God 'our King in his sanctuary. Certainly it becomes us, who profess the religion of Christ, to take notice of such astonishing exercises of his power and mercy, and give him the glory which is due, when he begins to accomplish any of his promises concerning the latter days; and it gives us further encon ragement to pray, and wait, and hape for the like display of his power in the midst of us The hand of God 19 not shortened, thfi it can not save, but we have reason to fear that our iniquities, our coldness in religion, and the general carnality bf our spirits, have raised a wall of separation between God and us: and we may add, the pride and perverse humor of infidelity, degeneracy, and apostasy from the Chris tian faith, which have of late years broken out amongst us, seem to have provoked the Spirit of Christ to absent himself much from our nation. Return, 0 Lord, and visit thy churches, and revive thine own work in the midst of us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... any increase of the administration of the Lord's supper, or that God's people do any more frequently commemorate the dyings love of their Redeemer, in this sacred memorial of it, than they used to do: thqugh I do not see why an increase of love to Christ, should not dispose Christians, as much to increase in this, as in those other duties; or why it is not as proper, that Christ's disciples should abound in this duty, in this DEGREESjojiful season, which is spiritually supper-time, a feastday with God's saints, wherein Christ is so abundantly manifesting- his dying-love to souls, and is dealing forth so liberally of the precious fruits of his death. It seems plain by the scripture, that the primitive Christians were wont to celebrate -this memorial of die sufferings of 'th

Excerpt from Edwards on Revivals Containing a Faithful Narrative: Surprising Work of God in the Conversion of Many Hundred Souls in Northampton, Massachusetts, A. D. 1735 We find, then, in our nature, and its inevitable' circumstances, principles of contradiction; an intel lectual mutiny, a war of reason, feeling, and fact; a state of things, within every man's competency to' detect, which loudly cries of disorder and ruin. NO wonder is it, that mankind ransack heaven and earth' to find religion, while they reject that which alone is religion; no wonder that, wanting all the time a god to sooth and comfort them, they have not liked to retain the true God in their knowledge no wonder that they hold the truth In unright eousness or that they cling to a form Of godli ness, while they deny its power.
