THE Incredible Miseries undergone by our Captives; What Labour, and What Hunger, and What Gold, they have endured! How Cruelly they have been used! How Cruelly they have been Scourged! With what Cruelties, the joints of their Fingers have been bitten off! In what insupportable Terrors of Death, sometimes their fierce Masters, of the true Tygre•eea have held them! The Hideous Executions, with which the Incarnate Devils have gratified their Diabolical Rage, upon some of the Miserable Captives: Roasting them alive at Lingering Fires; Cutting and Slashing their Flesh, and Pouring hot Embers there-upon: With Slow Tortures, Putting an End unto their Lives, and with intolerable, and inconceivable Torments! There has been that Voice of the Glorious GOD in these things unto us all; Oh! Be Thankful for the Comforts which you Enjoy in your Houses full of Good Things, with all your Friends ⟨p. 20⟩about you! But at the same Time, there has been this Mighty Voice of GOD unto them, who continue Captives to their Lusts, and will Go on still in their Trespasses: — What must you Look for, O Impenitent Sinners, what must you Look for, if you Die in your Sins, and he delivered over into the Hands of those Tormentors, which are in the tremendous Place of Torments waiting […] you!
