Let every one take heed, though I do not write
much or very learnedly, which is something that
is not in me. Receive this from me in good part,
as I trust you will do. These greetings and warnings
I send to those indicated in my preceding letters,
and further to those who are principally of my
acquaintance, and to all that walk in the fear of
God, and love his appearing, and desire to follow
this; and I admonish every one to be diligent in
searching the word of God. Exhort one another
in love, and copy this for my dear and beloved wife,
and preserve these three letters: this I heartily pray
you. Take further solicitations for your salvation,
and let it be read to you occasionally. Grieve not
on my account, but grieve before God because of
your sins. Think not within yourselves, that you
are without sin, but always have an humble estimate
of yourselves before the Lord; for James says: If
any man think that he serveth God, and bridleth
not his tongue, this man’s religion is vain. James
1:9. Therefore, my beloved, comfort yourselves
in the Lord, and think that he has called me hereunto;
and I trust by his power, through the help
and strength of him who counts me worthy for
this, not to depart therefrom for any torture. And
I firmly trust that the Lord counts, and shall make,
me worthy for it; and I shall firmly trust in him
730
with a pure heart unto the end; for I may well say
hitherto, that the Lord is showing me, and five or
six others with me, such abundant grace, that it
were impossible for me to describe it with the pen;
for we scarcely know of our bonds, but are together
in fervency of spirit. Hence I admonish you all to
pray with greater diligence than I have sometimes
done, for the prisoners, as the apostle exhorts us.
Let, therefore, every one be diligent to pray in love;
for we find that they that are in bonds pray much
more fervently for those who are out of bonds.
Thus I will conclude writing. Let every one be
quick to see how the life and doctrine of the learned
and wise of this world accord with the life of our
Lord, Christ Jesus, our Savior.

Herewith I commend you to the faithful Creator,
and to the word of his grace.

Written by me, Wouter Denijs,

And my fellow-prisoners.
