38. See Stein, ''Introduction,'' Works, 5: 18. 39. E.g., see Sermon 22, Works, 9: 413n. 40. Sermon 24, Works, 9: 437–38. 41. Ibid., 431–38, quotations p. 438. Interestingly, Edwards' account of the Reformation mentions Calvin only in passing as ''one of the eminent of the reformers'' (Sermon 23, Works, 9: 422). Also of note is that he mentions St. Augustine only as the principal opponent of Pelagius (Sermon 22, Works, 9: 406). Edwards does not allude to The City of God, and there seems to be no evidence that Edwards used the fifth-century classic as a model.
42. Sermon 24, Works, 9: 439–41. Edwards does say that ''the increase of learning is in itself a thing to be rejoiced in because in itself it is good'' (p. 440), but he also emphasizes that its greatest use is in demonstrating human folly unless it is made the handmaid of true religion.
43. Sermon 26, Works, 9: 461.
chapter 12. God ''Will Revive the Flame Again''
