Good: But I am alive; and not drowned, as all my ship's company
were.
Evil: I am singled out and separated, as it were, from all the
world, to be miserable.
Good: But I am singled out, too, from all the ship's crew, to be
spared from death; and He that miraculously saved me from death can
deliver me from this condition.
Evil: I am divided from mankind - a solitaire; one banished from
human society.
Good: But I am not starved, and perishing on a barren place,
affording no sustenance.
Evil: I have no clothes to cover me.
Good: But I am in a hot climate, where, if I had clothes, I could
hardly wear them.
Evil: I am without any defence, or means to resist any violence of
man or beast.
Good: But I am cast on an island where I see no wild beasts to hurt
me, as I saw on the coast of Africa; and what if I had been
shipwrecked there?
Evil: I have no soul to speak to or relieve me.
Good: But God wonderfully sent the ship in near enough to the
shore, that I have got out as many necessary things as will either
supply my wants or enable me to supply myself, even as long as I
live.
