William Bradford Quotes
And I May Not Omit Here A Special Work Of God's Providence. There Was A Proud And Very Profane Young Man [aboard The Mayflower], One Of The Seamen, Of A Lusty, Able Body, Which Made Him The More Haughty; He Would Always Be Contemning The Poor People In Their [sea]sickness, And Cursing Them Daily With Grievous Execrations, And Did Not Let To Tell Them, That He Hoped To Help Cast Half Of Them Overboard Before They Came To Their Journey's End, And To Make Merry With What They Had; And If He Were By Any Gently Reproved, He Would Curse And Swear Most Bitterly.
But It Pleased God Before They Came Half Seas Over, To Smite This Young Man With A Grievous Disease, Of Which He Died In A Desperate Manner, And So Was Himself The First That Was Thrown Overboard. Thus His Curses Light On His Own Head; And It Was An Astonishment To All His Fellows, For They Noted It To Be The Just Hand Of God Upon Him.
