There are some, that have used the grossest •ort of Stealing, and Robbing. But have they Enriched themselves? I Entreat you, Sirs, to •ake our New-English Pirates, the Subjects of your Meditations That man is Blind unto Sunshine, and Blind before Lightning, who sees not •he Tremendous Judgments of God, pursuing of •hose wicked men. Let no man after this, run greedily after the Error, of those Children of Perdition. But, if any of you, have knowingly •een Sharers with them in their Gains; for Gods sake, Repent of what you have done; you have carried Burning Coals into your feathered Nests; Don't put a farthing of that money, among the rest of your Possessions; it will consume all the rest.
