Therefore, my dear sister, be steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in
vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58.

Herewith I commend you, my love, to the Lord,
and to the rich word of his grace, who is able to
keep your treasure, and to give you an inheritance
among all them that are sanctified. Acts 20:32.
Adieu, my dear and in God beloved wife and sister
in the Lord; adieu, adieu. Finally, rejoice, be perfect,
be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in
peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with
you. Amen. 2 Cor. 13:11; Philip 4:4. Greet my
son and Tanneken, in my name, and tell him that
I command him, always to be obedient and subject
to his mother, in all things, always with reverence;
adieu, adieu, farewell.

Written with my blood, for a seal and testament;
an affectionate adieu to you, my love.

By me, your dear husband,

Raphel van den Velde.
