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]

P. Fly. Yes; There is one Man, that I don't, and I can't wish well to! It is a Vain Thing to lie, If I should say, that I forgive that Man, and that I wish him well, ⟨p. 16⟩I should lie against my Conscience, and add Sin to Sin.
P. Fly. Yes; There is one Man, that I don't, and I can't wish well to! It is a Vain Thing to ly, If I should say, that I forgive that Man, and that I wish him well, ⟨p. 16⟩I should ly against my Conscience, and add Sin to Sin.
M. Alas, Man, Thou dost add Sin to Sin. To bear Malice against your Neighbour, or be unable wish him well, tho' it be not a Lye, yet it is as great a Sin as a Lye. But you must part with all Sin, if you would find the Mercy and have the Comfort of a Penitent. The Great GOD has over and over again required you to put away all Malice, and lay aside all Malice. Yea, the SON of GOD, the True witness, who delivereth Souls, has expressly told you, That if you do not Forgive, you shall not be forgiven. I hope, the Lords-Prayer is not forgotten with you. Our Lord has taught us to pray, Forgive us as we forgive. I hope, you pray according to that Prayer.
