What does the first paragraph of Of Plymouth Plantation reveal about the attitudes and beliefs of the Pilgrims who traveled with William Bradford?

Bradford describes a sailor who mocked the Pilgrims and wished to throw them overboard, then became seriously ill and died. The Pilgrims saw his suffering as a sign of God’s judgment for his cruel, unrighteous behavior. This supports the belief that God punished those who were not righteous, rather than the idea that God caused the Pilgrims’ seasickness or punished everyone who traveled by sea.
