What does this excerpt imply about Edwards's view of society?

To provide an accurate interpretation of the excerpt in question concerning Edwards’s view of society, I would need the specific text in order to understand the context and the implications within. Jonathan Edwards, a preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans during the 18th century, is known for his fire-and-brimstone sermons during the period of the Great Awakening in American history. His viewpoints often reflected the Puritanical belief in the sovereignty of God, the depravity of human beings, and the necessity of divine grace for salvation.

Depending on the excerpt, if it is from one of his sermons such as "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," the implication might be that Edwards viewed society as inherently sinful and in need of repentance to avoid the wrath of an angry God. If the excerpt is from his writings on the Great Awakening, it may suggest that he saw society as being in a state of religious revival, with people turning to a more fervent and emotional expression of faith.

In order to give a precise interpretation, please provide the excerpt or further context related to Edwards's view of society.
