Excerpt from The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 4 of 10: Containing, I. Narrative of Surprising Conversions; II. Thoughts on the Revival in 1740; III. Qualifications for Communion; IV. Reply to Williams
The friendly correspondence which we maintain with our brethren of New England, gives us now and then the pleasure of hearing some remarkable instances of divine grace in the conversion of sinners, and some eminent examples of piety in that American part of the world. But never did we hear or read, since the first ages of Christianity, any event of this kind so surprising as the present Narras tive hath set before us. The Rev. And worthy Dr. Colman of Boston, had given us some short intimations of it in his letters and upon our request of a more large and particular account Mr. Edwards, the happy and successful minister of Northampton, which was one of the chief scenes of these wonders, drew up this history in an epistle to Dr. Colman.
There were some useful sermons of the venerable and aged Mr. Wm. Williams, published late in New England, which were preached in that part of the country during this season' of the glorious work of God in the conversion of men; to which Dr. Colman subjoined a most judicious and accurate abridgment of this epistle: and a little after. By Mr. Edwards' request, he sent the original to our hands, to be communicated to the world under our care here in London.
