hence
flee youthful lusts, but follow righteousness, faith,
charity, peace, with them that call on God out of
a pure heart. Ps. 11:7; 2 Tim. 2:22. Yes, dear
Jacob and Martijntgen, follow this high gift of the
Lord, namely, the wisdom that is from above; yea,
I say, follow after it, and bring forth genuine fruits
of repentance, and it shall be well with you. And
always humble yourselves under the mighty hand
of God, and be no longer high-minded, but fear
with great humility of heart and of the spirit, before
God the heavenly Father; for God resisteth the
proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 1 Pet. 5:6;
Rom. 11:20; 1 Pet. 5:5. Hence I repeat it: humble
yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he
may exalt you in due time; for whosoever exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted, says Jesus Christ our Lord.
Luke 14:11. Therefore, O dear Jacob and Martijntgen,
follow righteousness, and strive for it with all
your power and all the diligence of your heart; and
sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto you.
John 5:14. And learn henceforth truly to fear the
Lord with all your heart; and learn to love him
with all your strength, so that your names may
be written in the book of life, and you may thus
through God’s great grace be forever saved, and
may, with all the holy angels in heaven, and with
the great heavenly host, with the Lord of lords, in
unspeakably great joy, glory and brightness, reign
forever in heaven, where the great and holy name
of the Lord will be forever praised, glorified and
honored; for glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:14.

Herewith, I commend you to the Lord, and to
the word of his grace. Amen. Written by me,

Hansken van den Wege.

Imprisoned for the testimony of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
