Furthermore, my dear wife, know that I received
what you sent me, for which I thank you sincerely,
for it was to me a great consolation. Further, my
dear wife, Maerten van der Straten and his dear wife,
Beliken van der Straten, greet you much. Margriet
van der Sluys, and Dingentgen of Honschoten, and
that honorable youth Hansken of Oudenaerde greet
you much, and finally we all jointly ask you, earnestly
to pray to the Lord for us, that he will make
907
us meet rather to die honorably with Eleazar, than
to live with ignominy. Nothing more, but I commend
you to the Lord, and to the rich, comforting
word of his grace. And do the best for the children
in every way; teach them to fear the Lord;
though I am confident that you will do this; I can
not forbear to write it; but whatever I do is done
out of pure love and from a good heart.

Farewell; do the best in the beginning and in
the end.

Written for your service, by me your dear husband
and brother in the Lord.

Adrian Rogiers.
