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
