' God 's heart is grieved because He cannot find the ones who will stand before Him in the gap on behalf of the land.

    Next, Edwards personifies grace to, again, be a haven of safety and security. Edwards began his sermon by drawing comparison between the actions of his audience to the actions of the Israelites. While the Israelites often strayed from the direction of God, when condemnation fell upon them, the grace of God was offered as a means of recitation for their wrongdoings. In this situation, there is a torrential storm, but “under the means of grace” (209) there is a place of safety in which the audience can reside. Progressing through his sermon, Edwards drew upon his own scientific knowledge to further deepen his rhetorical expanse.

    Puritan people wanted to establish a city of god in the wilderness. People like Anne Hutchinson, an antinominalist, and Roger Williams – founder of Rhode Island – were banished by puritans because they wanted to separate the church and the state or did not follow the rules of the Puritan leaders.
