The text you have quoted seems to refer to the growing
difference and opposition between various groups as America is settled by Europeans
moving over there for a wide range of motives. Clearly, what is infered in the quote you
have identified, is that the author does not think very much of the Separatists, whose
motives seem to be governed more by personal greed, as they try to take land not for
religious reasons, but because of the way it would help them get ahead in the beaver
trade. This text therefore demonstrates how religion was used to mask profiteering
avarice. The text is also very threatening in the way that it threatens arson with
profound hell-like connotations. Moving to a new colony with the lack of infrastructure
and systems of law and order clearly had its opportunities but also its tremendous
dangers.
