O my dear brother, take care for your salvation;
the time here is so short, and eternity is at hand. O
heavenly Father, I humbly beseech thee, that thou
wilt keep my only brother from all evil, and sanctify
him in thy name through Christ Jesus, and ever
guide him by the Holy Spirit, that we may rejoice
together hereafter. Amen.

Adieu, my only brother on this earth; with Christ
I will await you. I wrote the first page just after I
had been tortured; hence it is somewhat badly
written. Now my hand is a little better, but I still
have the marks of the sufferings of Christ; his name
be praised forever.

This I have written you in my bonds, the second
day of March, A. D. 1572. By me your only
brother, unchanged in mind, imprisoned for the testimony
of Christ: hence be of good cheer; the faith
is kept, I have striven unto blood, in the Vuylpoort
at Dortrecht.
