When the year sixteen hundred and twenty,
after the birth of Christ had come, the aforesaid
magistrates emitted an edict, not only against the
Romanists (from whom they had formerly suffered
persecution themselves), but also against the Mennonites
or Anabaptists, who had always shown
themselves peaceable and friendly toward and
among them, whereby they prohibited, among
others, also the assemblies of the Anabaptists, yet
not on pain of death.

That this may be well understood, we shall correctly
copy the edict; as far as it is directed against
the Anabaptists, and present it to the impartial
reader.
