A letter from G. Kleermaecker, imprisoned at
Antwerp with Sijntgen van Rousselare, wife
of Jeronymus, where they laid down their
lives for the truth.

The abundant grace of God, the great love and
mercy of his Son, and the power, operation and illumination
of the Holy Ghost, this, my very dear and
beloved sister in the Lord, I wish you as a cordial
and affectionate greeting, whereby we, unworthy
ones, are born anew of God, to serve the Lord in
righteousness and holiness, to the praise of the Lord
and to the salvation of our souls. Hereunto fit,
strengthen and confirm us, the Lord, the Father of
all mercy, to whom alone be praise, glory, and
honor, forever and ever. Amen.

After this salutation, my very dear and beloved
sister in the Lord, I inform you, that I am, the
Lord be praised forever, still tolerably well according
to the flesh, and also as regards the mind; and
I trust by the grace of God to go with our true
Captain, Joshua to the promised land (which has
been promised us unworthy ones out of grace, and
shown us through faith) hoping and trusting by the
grace of God to pass unharmed over Jordan; yet I
would from the depth of my heart, that my mind
were more valiant for it.
