He says that when he was baptized, about eight
or nine others were baptized with him, among whom
were Dirck Jacobs, a shoemaker, and Jan Adrienss,
a tanner, and that the wife of Michael, the shoemaker,
and Wiert Claess, were present when the
baptism took place, but that Wiert was not baptized.

When asked whether Euwout the barber, Jan
Aertss, the weaver, and Jan de Bagijn were also
present when he was baptized, he says “No,” and
he says further that Dirck Jacobss and the tanner
came early in the morning before daylight into the
house where they were baptized.

He says that the one who baptized him had a
strange language, and talked somewhat loud.

He says, that a woman named Maertjen Philips,
residing in the Cingel, is of his faith, and also Willem
Janss, cutler, Wiert Claess, and Jan Aertss,
weaver.

When asked whether Euwout the barber was of
the same persuasion and faith with him, he says
that he does not know, and that he has not had any
conversation with him in regard to matters of faith,
but that he has been at his house. He says that he
does not know whether Jan de Bagijn is also of
the same faith as he that speaks or not.

Again: The above confession was then read to the
aforesaid Faes Dircks, under the blue sky, without
torture and iron bonds, and being asked whether he
adhered to it, he replied that he did, and that he
desired mercy, and not justice. Done in the presence
of the full court.

Joris Jacobs.

Note.—Since not only the three aforementioned
examinations, but also the sentence of death
of said friend of God, were sent us by the present
secretary of the town of Gouda, we will add the latter
here, as it reads in the original, that no one may
in any wise doubt what has been related.
