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. By these things, you Deserve all the Sad Things, which have ever yet befallen you, from the Hand of an Offended GOD. Yea, you deserve all the strange Punishment reserved for the workers of Iniquity, in that Hell which the word of GOD has called, The place of Torment.
P. P. We do.
M. Now, How shall you escape the Damnation of Hell? Hear with Astonishment, the good and glad Tidings which I am to bring you; The Gospel which is to be preached unto Every Creature! — The Eternal SON of GOD, the second of the Three Persons in the eternal Godhead, has taken the Man JESUS into one Person with Himself▪ This GOD-MAN, has placed Himself in the Room of His people. The Law of GOD is armed with ⟨p. 12⟩a Penalty. The Penalty is the Destruction of the Sinner. It must be Executed; There can be no dispensing with it. But our good GOD has allowed of it, that His JESUS undergo the Penalty of the Violated Law for us. He has undergone it. He Dyed in our stead. He became a Sacrifice for us. There fell upon Him the Punishment that was due to us for our Sin. When we come to plead This, as we ought to do, GOD will Release us from the Punishment. Now mind Exceedingly! — You must cast yourselves in the Dust before the Lord, and weep to Him with unspeakable Agony, and plead at this rate before Him; — O Great GOD; Let me escape the Death due to me for my Sin, because my SAVIOUR has Dyed for me. Let the Blood which my SAVIOUR shed for His People, procure my Salvation from what my Sin has exposed me to.— You will try to plead thus, and so Hope for Mercy, with a GOD Ready to Pardon.
