The vial poured out upon the sea. A remarkable relation of certain pirates brought unto a tragical and untimely end. Some conferences with them, after their condemnation. Their behaviour at their execution. And a sermon preached on that occasion. : [Two lines from Job]

M. You will, by and by take the Catechism, and see what is Forbidden and what is Required in the Ten Commandments, and examine what your Miscarriages have been, in each of the points referred unto. — But know, That in all your Sins, you have Denied the GOD that is above; trampled on your SAVIOUR; Vexed His Holy SPIRIT; pleased the Devil; and brought Mischiefs and Ruins on yourselves. In every Sin, you have done, An Horrible Thing! And, you have done very foolishly. You think so.

P. P. We do so.
M. But now, you must go back, and go down, to the Root of all your Wickedness. The sin of your First Parents in eating the Forbidden Fruit, was a very Vile Rebellion against the Glorious GOD. You were in that Rebellion. From hence there is derived unto you a Corruption that is the very Image of Satan, whom you in your First Parents did hearken to. All the Faculties of your Souls are depraved and enfeebled in this Corruption. You have in you an Heart that is desperately wicked; an Heart fully set in you to do evil. If you have been Restrained from any actual Enormities, it is not because you have not had an Heart inclined that way, but because GOD has withheld you from sinning against Him. You have in you a Disposition to, All manner of sin! You are aware of This.
