This passage expresses some of the negative attitudes that English settlers had towards American Indians.
First, the quotes serve to highlight the fact that colonists did not feel particularly bad for the deaths of the natives, as they show no empathy towards them. They were most likely indifferent to the loss of culture and the disruption of family life that this caused as well.
Moreover, it shows that they knew the reasons why the Indians were dying (smallpox), but had no interest in taking any measures to prevent it.
Third, they show a sense of entitlement over the lands of the indigenous people. As most of them have died, and the population cannot defend itself, they have no problem in taking their land forcefully.
Finally, by comparing themselves to the Spanish, they also show awareness of the destruction and chaos that colonial powers have created in other places, and are thankful that they did not have to engage in a difficult war with the Native Americans.

The correct answer is:
A. Thomas More
Explanation:
Utopia was written by Thomas More in 1516 and it has been very controversial ever since. The book is divided in two books where Thomas More puts himself as the main character, that goes on a business trip with his friend Peter Giles and meets Raphael Hythloday (a great explorer who has traveled around the world).
They have a controversial talk about opinions over philosophy and it's influence on politics, that can be interpreted as controversial ideas More was having while trying to decide if he should join the king's service or not, because he wrote Utopia before he became Lord Chancellor.
Utopia in the book is a place Hythloday talked about and described as the greatest place on Earth, while More and Giles didn't believe such place could exist.
This is called "strict constructionism".
It means that the federal government should apply only what is written in the Constitution and in the way that it is written. There would be no searching for hidden meanings or anything similar.
Common law is a system of law based on what the King accepted as the Common Standard. So the answer is B)
