Excerpt from Edwards on Revivals Containing a Faithful Narrative
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.
