I herewith commend you to the Lord, and to
the comforting word of his grace, and bid you
adieu once more. I hope to wait for you; follow
me, my dearest child.

Once more, adieu, my dearest upon earth; adieu,
and nothing more; adieu, follow me; adieu and
farewell.

Written on the 10th of August, A. D. 1573, at
Antwerp.

This is the testament which I wrote in prison for
my daughter Janneken, whom I bore and gave birth
to here in my bonds.

By me your dearest mother, imprisoned for the
Lord’s sake.

Janneken Munstdorp.

Note.—With this testament we also received a
letter which the same Janneken van Munstdorp
wrote to her dear father and mother, who, as it
seems, had not yet come to the true faith; who are
by her exhorted to the best, and to whom she in
the meantime commends her little child.
