The vein in his left hand that is　derived from the heart with no faint blow
he pierced, and with the full blood that flowed　from it, writ a full obligation
of his soul to the devil; yea, he more earnestly prayed unto　God never to
forgive his soul than many Christians do to save their souls. These fearful
ceremonies brought to an end, I bade him ope his mouth and gape wide. He
did so (as what will not slaves do for fear?); therewith made I no more ado,
but shot him full into the throat with my pistol; no more spake he after; so did
I shoot him that he might never speak after or repent him. His body being dead
looked as black as a toad; the devil presently branded it for his own.
