Dear brother and sister, my heart’s great desire
of you is, that you have an eye upon our brothers
Cornelis H. and Jacob H., and our sister Leentgen
H., and direct them in the fear of God as much as
you can. But above all, have your eye upon my
children, and show them and my wife as much love
as you can; for my glass is almost run out, my
watch is nearly over; day will soon break, for I
have already seen the morning star in the sky.
Herewith farewell; I greet Adrian H. and his wife
and all dear friends much; bid my friends many
adieus. Dear brother and sister, take my letter in
good part; though I am somewhat solemn in my
letters, it is because I love your souls so much.
Written on the 23d of January 1572. Adieu for
a little while, my dear brethren and sisters, till we
meet again; acquit yourselves valiantly, this I pray
you. By me,

Jan Hendrickss.
