1. During the voyage, there were many seasick people. One specific young sailor that was very haughty would constantly make fun of those that became seasick since he did not. He would curse them daily and hope that he could cast most of them overboard before the end of the voyage. However, at some point during the voyage he was stricken with a terrible illness of which he died before the end of the journey. Most thought it was the hand of God that struck him for his profane ways.

2. "Thus his curses light on his owne head; and it was an astonishmente to all his fellows, for they noted it to be the just hand of God upon him." The bad deeds the man committed came back to haunt him, and he got what he deserved: death by disease. All of the people on the ship were surprised from his death, but they believed that God caused it.

3.

This ship is probably something like that of the ship that Bradford described in his voyage.
