Answer:
The speech creates an extremist religious context that addresses any practice not practiced by churches as a sin. This created a connection that bounded what was religion and what was witchcraft within New England Colony.
Step-by-step explanation:
Edward's speech about God's wrath on sinners was one of the most impactful moments of the great awakening in Northampton, Massachusetts. The speech had an extremist tone showing how those who practiced actions disapproved by the church, maintained a relationship with the devil and therefore would be condemned to hell. Edward used a language that created vivid images of hell and its inhabitants, which terrified listeners and created the basis for a more religious, rigid and intolerant society for what they believed to be sinful. In this way, any and all behavior that goes beyond the standard, could be classified as sinful, diabolical and witchcraft.
