Osinner! consider the fearful danger you are in: it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of fire of wrath, provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the d in hell. you hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it and ready every moment to singe it and burn it asunder (meaning "to pieces"), and you to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you have ever done, nothing that you can do to induce (meaning "to convince") god to spare you one moment." (jonathan edwards, sinners in the hands of an angry god)
