Answer:

Threatening.

Explanation:

The excerpt exemplifies the typical puritan mindset and is specific to the sinners as a warning of the consequences to be faced for disobeying the almighty or his orders. The tone is threatening as it displays the wrath of God and the hideous punishments like "hang by a slender thread", "burn it asunder" and suggests that nothing could save you from your evil deeds. It frightens the people with the falling actions caused by the unforgiving nature of God. The puritans had a list of do's and don'ts if one denies it there was a separate list that includes the sanction of trials as displayed here. Thus, the tone is threatening.
