Original wording, with book contents, page navigation, and linked notes. Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

See, my dear children, here I have briefly set forth to you in writing my faith, that you may know, in what faith your father died; and I hope that it may serve for your instruction, and that you may be induced the more to follow the same; the Lord grant you his grace, that this may be accomplished.

Herewith I will commend my dear wife and children to the Lord; may he help and bless you by his Spirit, that you may all grow up in wisdom holiness and righteousness: this I wish you with all my heart. When we are to die, I do not know.

Finished in the year 1569, in May, in my prison, at Bruges, by me, Jacob de roore, or the chandler.

Alle die lijden na den wille Godts, wilt hierop mercken,
Die bevelen haer Zielen den getrouwen Sheppermet goede Wercken.
1 Pet. 4:19
