"The Court referred the matter to the Honble Director General and Supreme Council of New Netherlands."
Letter to the Court at Gravesend:
"KIND FRIENDS:
"Whereas on this date the 10th of Feb 1654. by petition pre- sented to our Court by Johannes van Beeck, he requests, that his bans with Maria Verleth may be entered and be properly proclaimed here, and we have understood, that the same Jo- hannes van Beeck and Maria Verleth had previously to this made proclamation of their bans through your Court at Gravesend, which (under correction) is contrary to the style and laws of our Fatherland, it is our request to your Honorable Court, in case such a circumstance should hereafter occur, that we may be informed thereof in order to prevent on one side and the other all improprieties, which we on our part engage to do in like

""T is true that our Theologians say, and that correctly, that we must not tolerate or permit lesser sins, in order thereby to avoid greater ones.
"Therefore we think (with due submission) that by a proper solemnization of marriage (for the Apostle to the Hebrews calls the marriage bed honorable) the lesser and greater sins are prevented.
"Therefore the Burgomasters and Schepens of this City are of opinion, that the proper ecclesiastical proclamations of the aforesaid young people ought to be made at the earliest oppor- tunity to be followed afterwards by their marriage.
