James See also:Davenport, and many untrained laymen who took up the work, agreed in the emotional and dramatic See also:character of their preaching, in rousing their hearers to a high See also:pitch of excitement, often amounting to frenzy, in the undue stress they put upon " bodily effects " (the See also:physical manifestations of an abnormal psychic See also:state) as proofs of See also:conversion, and in their unrestrained attacks upon the many clergymen who did not join them and whom they called " dead men," unconverted, unregenerate and careless of the spiritual See also:condition of their parishes. Jonathan Edwards, See also:Benjamin See also:Colman (1673-1747), and See also:Joseph See also:Bellamy, recognized the viciousness of so extreme a position. Edwards personally reprimanded Whitefield for presuming to say of any one that he was unconverted, and in nis Thoughts Concerning the See also:Present Revival of See also:Religion devoted much space to " showing what things are to be corrected, or avoided, in promoting this work." Edwards' famous See also:sermon at See also:Enfield in 1741 so affected his See also:audience that they cried and groaned aloud, and he found
it necessary to bid them be still that he might go on; but Davenport and many itinerants provoked and invited shouting and even writhing, and other physical manifestations. At its May session in 1742 the See also:General See also:Court of Massachusetts forbade itinerant preaching See also:save with full consent from the See also:resident pastor; in May 1743 the See also:annual ministerial See also:convention, by a small See also:plurality, declared against " several errors in See also:doctrine and disorders in practice which have of See also:late obtained in various parts of the See also:land," against See also:lay preachers and disorderly revival meetings; in the same See also:year See also:Charles See also:Chauncy, who disapproved of the revival, published Seasonable Thoughts on the State of Religion in New England; and in 1744–1745 Whitefield, upon his second tour in New England, found that the faculties of Harvard and Yale had officially " testified " and " declared " against him and that most pulpits were closed to him. Some separatist churches were formed as a result of the Awakening; these either died out or became Baptist congregations. To the reaction against the See also:gross methods of the revival has been ascribed the religious apathy of New England during the last years of the 18th See also:century; but the See also:martial and See also:political excitement, beginning with See also:- KING
