[364] This is utterly false, since the so-called Anabaptists have never rejected; but much rather honored and highly esteemed the lawful protection of the magistracy, as they also still do at the present day. But quite differently did the most laudable rulers of the common Dutch cities, judge of this and especially those of the city of Amsterdam, who gave the Anabaptists, who had lived among them from of old, and do still live among them, the name of good citizens and subjects, who were found wanting on no occasion, etc., as sufficiently appears from their letters of A. D. 1660.
[365] This poem, by P. Van Braght, written to his brother, the author, on the occasion of a severe illness, from which he was not expected to recover, during the progress of the work, appears in the original, on page 58. During the progress of the work on the present edition it was translated by A. B. Kolb, and hence we give it a place here.—Publishers.
