Packet P: Tossup 4

A work in this genre inspired the title of Perry Miller’s intellectual history Errand into the Wilderness. (10[1])Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography discusses his support of Samuel Hemphill against charges of plagiarizing these works. Jonathan Mayhew and John Cotton wrote “election” examples of these works. After sharing (10[1])one of these works, a visibly feeble character from an 1850 novel is told “thou hast escaped (10[1])me!” by a man as he dies in a woman’s arms in front of a crowd. One work in this genre notes that “the eyes of all people are upon us,” and another contains the image of a “loathsome” insect being held “over the fire.” For 10 points, John Winthrop’s “A Model of Christian (-5[1])Charity” and Jonathan Edwards’s “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” are what kind of works? ■END■ (10[1])
