Yes, my friends, pure love thinketh no evil; however,
she sees, finds and reproves evil. Examples
of this are, Ananias, Simon the sorcerer, the Corinthian
fornicator, etc. Acts 5:1; 8:9; 1 Cor. 5:1.

And now, dear friends, brethren and sisters, I
again commend you to God, and to the word of his
grace (as the salutation of Paul), which is able to
build you up, and to give you an inheritance among
all them which are sanctified. Be saluted, strengthened,
comforted, and of good cheer in the Lord.

Watch and pray. By me, Hendrick Alewijns,
and my fellow prisoners, all of us of good cheer.
Farewell. Given in November, A. D. 1568.

Yes, dear friends, before this letter left my hands,
two of us were brought before the court; dear Gerrit
Jans Duynherder, our pious brother and myself.
And behold, we are kept in durance, as sufficiently
sentenced, and both of us expect to die very soon
now. O Lord! O Lord! into thy hands, O faithful
Creator! we commend our soul and spirit. Amen.

O beloved church of God, take care of my three
poor, dear little orphans, that are without parents,
without possession, or inheritance.

Adieu, my dear children; adieu, all my friends.
This is going before you all, and following after my
Lord Christ, in his footsteps. Lord, assist thy servants
unto the last, unworthy and unprofitable
though they be.
