Answer:

1. ...if God should only withdraw his hand from the<em> floodgate, it would immediately fly open, and the fiery floods of the fierceness</em><em> </em>and wrath of God would rush forth with inconceivable fury...

2. ...and if your strength were ten thousand times greater than it is, yea, ten thousand times greater than the strength of the stoutest, sturdiest devil...

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the use of a particular letter of the alphabet in a string of words in a phrase. Jonathan Edwards who was a remarkable preacher at his time made extensive use of this figure of speech in his work, <em>Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God</em> to make important points which he wanted the reader to remember.

Alliteration is seen in the first phrase above where he explained that it was as a result of God's mercy that humans have not faced his fiery wrath. Letter<em> f</em> was used. In the second phrase, he explained that the strength of humans could not be matched with that of the least devil in hell. The <em>s</em> letter was used for alliteration.

Explain how balboa would like to be viewed by others
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Balboa was born in 1475 in Jerez de los Caballeros, a town in the impoverished Extremadura region of Spain. His father was believed to be a nobleman, but the family was not wealthy; like many of his class, Balboa decided to seek his fortune in the New World. Around 1500, he joined a Spanish expedition that explored the coast of present-day Colombia, then returned to the island of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and sought to make his living as a farmer. After falling into debt, he fled his creditors by stowing away on an expedition carrying supplies to the colony of San Sebastian, located on the coast of Urabá (now Colombia), in 1510.
