54. For clarifying the strong impulse in New England to maintain the unity of all knowledge, I am indebted to David Hill Scott, ''The 'Circle of Knowledge' and Jonathan Edwards' Integration of Reason and Revelation'' (M.Div. thesis, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, 1997). Scott traces this impulse through such major seventeenth-century Calvinist thinkers as Alexander Richardson, William Ames, John Alsted, John Comenius, and Adrian Heereboord.

Stephen R. Yarborough and John C. Adams, Delightful Convictions: Jonathan Edwards and the Rhetoric of Conversion (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1993), esp. 69– 77, emphasize the direct influence on Edwards of Alexander Richardson's encyclopedic philosophy of art found in the preface to his Logicians School-Master (1629; 1657). See also Fiering, Edwards's Moral Thought, and Morris, Young Jonathan Edwards, concerning such influences. On Edwards' theological relationship to Calvinism see Conrad Cherry, The Theology of Jonathan Edwards: A Reappraisal (Garden City: Doubleday, 1966).

55. Miscellany no. 92, Works, 13: 256. The first long entry directly on the Trinity is no. 94, pp. 256–63, which Thomas Schafer dates around the end of 1723. Cf. Amy Plantinga Pauw, ''The Supreme Harmony of All'': The Trinitarian Theology of Jonathan Edwards (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 2002).
