Further, my dear sister, I do not, because of my
small gift, know much more to write you, but commend
you to the Lord, and to the rich, comforting
word of his grace. I moreover pray you to excuse
the plain, simple letter which I, your unworthy servant,
have written, who am the weakest in Israel,
yea, not worthy to unloose your shoe’s latchet;
however, I yet trust in the grace of God.

Furthermore, my dear sister, greet your dear
husband, and also the acquaintances, in my name.
My dear wife also greets you both, and the acquaintances
much. There also greet you much, Adriaen,
Grietgen, Hansken, and Dingentgen; and all of us
prisoners jointly request of you, that you will diligently
pray the Lord for us. Nothing more. Farewell,
and do the best in the beginning and in the
end.

Written in my bonds, by me, your weak brother
and servant, as much as I am able.

Maerten van der Straten.
