Herewith I will commend you, my dear children,
and your mother, to the Lord, for whose sake I
hope to leave you; who is able to care for you, and
to keep you from all evil. The Lord grant you his
grace, that you may grow up in the knowledge of
God through the Holy Ghost, so that, according to
the right judgment of God, you may be found righteous
for his kingdom, through Jesus Christ our
Lord and Savior, to whom be praise and glory forever
and ever. Amen.

Written on the second and third days of May,
A. D. 1569, in prison at Bruges, where I was confined
for the testimony of Jesus, under the house of
the Vrye; by me Jacob the Chandler.

This I send my dear children, as a brief testament;
I also hope to write them my faith, which
may serve to show them upon what faith their father
died.

Alle die lijden na den wille Godts, wilt hierop mercken,

Die bevelen haer Zielen den getrouwen Shepper met goede Wercken.

1 Pet. 4:19.
