Herewith I bid you adieu; there in the presence
of Christ Jesus I will await you, and my very dear
wife, and all the godfearing left behind. Amen.

Written shortly before Easter, when I hourly expected
to be notified that I was to offer up my
sacrifice, to the praise of God, and to my salvation.
Amen.

Herewith I bid my nephews and nieces adieu on
this earth. O that they would also follow Christ,
when they have attained to understanding; then
they would also come where he, namely, Christ, is;
and they that repent and keep his commandments,
these are his friends and disciples who follow him.

Hence I beseech you, my dear, beloved niece, to
shun evil, diligently to seek the kingdom of God and
his righteousness, and to work to satisfy her hunger
with bread, and quench her thirst with drink. If you
do this, my dear niece, you will be one who with
Mary has chosen the good part; and I will then
await you there with Christ Jesus, whither I will go
a little beforehand; and all that love the truth will
follow. To this end may the good Lord grant his
grace, that this my heartfelt wish may be realized,
to the salvation of my nieces and nephews. Amen.

Written in my bonds, by me,

Jan Wouterss van Kuyck.
