Read the following excerpt from Robinson Crusoe, in which Crusoe tells
about his capture by pirates:
At this surprising change of my circumstances, from a
merchant to a miserable slave, I was perfectly
overwhelmed; . . . for now the hand of Heaven had
overtaken me, and I was undone without redemption; but,
alas! this was but a taste of the misery I was to go through,
as will appear in the sequel of this story.
Based on the context of this excerpt, what does the phrase "hand of
Heaven" convey about the time in which this story was[written?
