Preface
Introduction: Edwards the Preacher (Wilson H. Kimnach)
Introduction: The Historical Context (Kenneth P. Minkema and Adriaan C. Neele)
Divine Husbandman (On the Parable of the Sower and the Seed): Matthew 13:3–4: Behold, a sower went forth to sow; and when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up. JE’s notations at the head of the sermon indicate that he originally preached this in Nov. 1740, and repreached it in Stockbridge in April 1756.
- Observation. Those that God sends forth to preach the gospel, may fitly be compared to husbandmen going forth to sow their seed.
- Improvement.
- [Doctrine Resumed].
- Application.
- [Doctrine Resumed]. Matthew 13:5–6: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: and when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
- [Application].
- [Doctrine Resumed].
- Proposition. Sudden conversions are very often false.
- Application.

Preface
Introduction: Edwards the Preacher (Wilson H. Kimnach)
Introduction: The Historical Context (Kenneth P. Minkema and Adriaan C. Neele)
Fish Out of Their Element (The Parable of the Net)—Matthew 13:47–50.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good unto the vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
- OBSERVATION I: The conversion of sinners may fitly be compared to the taking fish in a net.
- OBSERVATION II: The mercy and grace of God revealed in the gospel extends to all sorts of persons.
- OBSERVATION III: There are many persons that seem to be converted, that are not so really.
- OBSERVATION IV: Wicked men cannot always enjoy their element but must, first and last, be forever separated from it.
- OBSERVATION V: {The wicked shall} not always remain mingled among the righteous. Missing in manuscript.
- OBSERVATION VI: This world must come to an end.
- OBSERVATION VII: When the full number of the elect shall be gathered in, the end of the world will soon come.
- OBSERVATION VIII: God will hereafter deal with the righteous, as men are wont to treat that which they prize as the portion they live upon.
- OBSERVATION IX: God will hereafter cast away unsound professors.
- OBSERVATION X: God makes use of the ministry of angels in affairs relating to the eternal state of mankind.
- OBSERVATION XI: Wicked men will hereafter be cast into a furnace of fire.
- OBSERVATION XII: In the misery of the damned, there will be a mixture of sorrow and rage.
