1775 was the original edition. Reading about this in "Surprised by the Voice of God" by Jack S. Deere. Deere is stating that the editor, McGavin, changed Howe's statements to reflect a theological bias against the supernatural. Prophecy becomes "sagacious foresight"... it is unclear to me from the preview whether this book reflects the original or the edited version. I will be subscribing to Connect again at some point and will likely chose this as one of my "classic" picks. Hopefully, I will remember to check this/update.
