Edwards delivered his famous sermon during a revival movement intended to reinvigorate church attendance and bring more converts into the faith. He recognized that people were drifting away from church and relegating their faith to the background of their lives. The entire sermon is designed to shock listeners and instill a sense of urgency in their return to religion.
Edwards likely believed that Hell was an abstract notion to many of his listeners, and so he loaded the sermon with horrifying sense imagery to try to convince the congregation that Hell was a concrete place of eternal tortures.

Explanation:
Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.
1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.
2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.
Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.
3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.
4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.
A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)
