      Doch hoe gevoeligh dat ze mynen ſtaat door verzoekſchriften aan die van Rotterdam hadden afgemaalt, waren ze echter in hun voornemen bedroogen, want deze Brieven konden by die Predikanten niets te weeg brengen, naardien ze vreesden dat myne bekeringh ſlechts een Mantel was, waar onder ik myne ſnoodheid bedekken wilde.
      Though no matter how emotionally they had depicted my condition to those from Rotterdam in letters of petition, they were however proven wrong in their intention, because these letters could not accomplish anything among those ministers, because they feared that my conversion was only a guise, under which I wanted to cover my dastardliness.
