Question 7

The Great Awakening Comes to Connecticut (1740) 
Nathan Cole
Now it pleased God to send Mr. Whitefield into this land . . . And I soon heard he was come to New York and the Jerseys and great multitudes flocking after him under great concern for their Souls and many converted . . . and more hoping soon to see him. . . .
We went down in the Stream; I heard no man speak a word all the way three miles but every one pressing forward in great haste and when we got to the old meeting house there was a great multitude; it was said to be 3 or 4000 of people assembled together. . . .
And my hearing him preach gave me a heart wound; by God's blessing my old foundation was broken up, and I saw that my righteousness would not save me; then I was convinced of the doctrine of Election and went right to quarrelling with God about it, because all that I could do would not save me; and he had decreed from Eternity who should be saved and who not.
