Why does Edwards claim that nonbelievers are akin to spiders in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"?

". . . and your own care and prudence, and best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider's web would have to stop a falling rock."

I. Spiders are considered to be errors of God’s creation.
II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.
III. Spiders are considered the lowest form of life and thus expendable.
