I imagine Edwards used his Miscellanies to help fulfill his Resolution:
11. Resolved, when I think of any theorem in divinity to be solved,
immediately to do what I can towards solving it, if circumstances do not
hinder.
Yet perhaps the blogger should also be warned to remember this Resolution:
5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most
profitable way I possibly can.
As well as some of the other Resolutions (about speaking the truth and speaking well of others), which are well worth a look. Edwards Resolved to re-read his Resolutions each week.
The Miscellanies were much more than private note books. Edwards
used them in training the younger apprentice ministers who lodged with him, and would set reading from them.
The Miscellanies were full of links and there was an elaborate archive
index system.
