Excerpt from The Life and Character of the Late Reverend Jonathan Edwards, President of the College of New Jersey: Together With a Number of His Sermons on Various Important Subjects
President Edwards, in the esteem of all the judicious, who were well acquainted with him, either personally, or by his writings, was one of the greatest - best - and most useful of men, that have lived in this age.
He discover"d himself to be one of the greatest of divines, by his conversation, preaching and writings: One of remarkable strength of mind, clearness of thought, and depth of penetration, who well understood, and was able, above most others, to vindicate the great doctrines of christianity.
And no one perhaps has been in our day, more universally esteemed and acknowledged to be a bright christian, an eminently good man. His love to God and man; his zeal for God and his cause; his uprightness, humility, self-denial, and weanedness from the world; his close walk with God; his conscientious, constant and universal obedience, in all exact and holy ways of living: In one word, the goodness, the holiness of his heart, has been as evident and conspicuous, as the uncommon greatness and strength of his understanding.
And that his distinguished light has not shone in vain, there as a cloud of witnesses.
