I have not read his response to the negative reaction toward his sermon.
My guess is that is in the autobiographical writings/memoirs. I have not touched them yet.
It's a real shame that moderns wade about as far into his writings beyond a few provocative paragraphs in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." His other great works are cerebral, but it's obvious that Edwards was a man who knew the love of Christ and reflected it into the lives of others.
To my actual shock, I have found his writings inspiring in a very direct way. He lived by Luke 10:27

Man you have me looking at my outline as a refresher.
Here is what I marked in the margins of my notes at the end, and it is still something I am trying to figure out:
"I wonder if the sections of what appears to be hyperbole are necessary. Is this a function of revivalism or something fundamental to Edwards' character?"
It's one of the few questions I asked or statements I have written that are biographical in nature. Except something on another sermon on the Songs of Solomon written later on.
