THE STATES-GENERAL TO CHARLES II.


1673, Dec. 9/19.


Sire: We know not what reason finally induced your Majesty to write to us such a letter as has been delivered to us by the Trumpeter whom we sent to your Majesty, and which is dated the 7/17 November. Yet we consider ourselves obliged to thank your Majesty for the honor you have been pleased to confer on us. And especially can we not omit making known to your Majesty our regret to find its contents so disadvantageous to us; and that the Minister in whom your Majesty has reposed confi- dence, have, up to the present time, made use of their knowledge to bring matters to the stand they now occupy, even persuading your Majesty so far as to have conjointly reminded you of very many things which they supposed your Majesty had altogether forgotten, and which they in their consciences well know are far from the truth.


This consideration, Sire, prevents us answering particularly the principal points of the letter your Majesty hath written us.


We are ready to renew with your Majesty the Treaty con- cluded with us at Breda in the year 1667.


Finally, in order to manifest to your Majesty the special esteem which we entertain for your friendship, we hereby also offer the restitution of New Netherland and of all other places and Colonies which have been won by our arms during the present war. Firmly convinced that your Majesty will be unwilling to refuse a reciprocal engagement to restore to us such lands and forts as your subjects may have taken from us .- Col. Docs. N. Y. ii. 531.

* The first minister of the Lutheran Church, who was allowed to hold service in New York according to his tenets. His predecessor Goetwasser was subjected to all kinds of indignities under Dutch rule. But even though on the return of the Dutch in 1673, Governor Colve allowed the free exercise of worship to the Lutherans (September 26, 1673), Fabricius was on March 1, 1674, brought up before the Gov- ernor and Council for having solemnized a marriage, without having been lawfully authorized to act as clergyman. At the same time he was accused of having com- mitted bigamy, but the Court declared this charge unfounded, forbidding him nevertheless to act as clergyman for a year .- Records of New Amsterdam, Vol. 7. p. 44.

PETITION AGAINST REV. J. FABRITIUS.


24 Feb. 1674.


To the Worshipfull Heeren President, Burgomaster and Schepens of this City of New Orange. Annetje Cornells represents with very great humility that she hath divers times requested that the house belonging to her and her children from God and nature may be given up to her, as she is very sickly and beladen with the Quartan Ague, having been obliged the whole winter to sleep In the garret under the roof of the house, which truly is a very hard thing to happen to an old woman, and all this for a drunken and constant prophaner of God's Name, a ci-devant Lutheran Preacher, named, as he says Jacobus Fabritius her married but unfaithful husband, who has driven her out of her own house and Chamber which she intended for her son; which is truly a matter that ought not be tolerated in a place where Law is maintained as is the case in this Government, the good God be fervently thanked therefor.


The Petitioner therefore humbly beseeches your Worships to be pleased to order that he deliver up the key of the room without delay to the petitioner and to inter- dict or forbid him to presume to enter the house any more until further order from your Worships, on pain of certain arbitrary Correction to be found fitting by your Worships, the rather as said Fabritius did Yesterday not only use force and violence in said house, but also stole property, which at a proper time shall be proved; whereupon awaiting Your favorable apostille, remains, etc.


Apostilled -


The accompanying Petition being considered and read in Court, the Petitioner. Annetje Cornelis' request is granted and allowed, especially as Jacobus Fabritius hath of himself left the house and, contrary to the previous order and prohibition given him, hath behaved very uncivilly and badly; and the said Jacobus Fabritius is ordered to deliver up the said key to the Petitioner and not to presume to molest her in any way until the W. Court shall otherwise provide therein .- Doc. Hist. N. Y. iii. 242. Record of New Amsterdam, Vol. 7, pp. 58, 60.

We rely on the effects of your friendship and justice on this occasion 1 and on all others on our part we promise you the like.

Rev. Roelandus Carpentier .*


1674, April 9th.


Rev. Visscherus, Dep. at causas Maritimas, stated that the Honorable Councilors of the Admiralty, had called before them the Deputies of this Classis on certain affairs, and made known to them that it was the desire of their Honors, that there might be called by this Classis a minister for the ship of his excellency, , Rear Admiral (Schout by nacht) Engel de Ruyter. There was particularly recommended for this position, Rev. Roelandus Car- pentier, a candidate of this Classis, who appeared before the As- sembly and was asked whether he was disposed to be employed as a . minister (chaplain) on the National fleet, (navy). He showed himself willing, if such a call were made out for him, to accept it in the fear of the Lord. Whereupon after he had preached a sermon in the presence of the Assembly on the words of Paul in

Rom. 8:31, " If God be for us, who can be against us ?" he was unanimously called by the Classis to the aforesaid service. And having been stante Classi examined on the principal articles of the Christian religion, in so far as could be done, on account of the shortness of the time, he gave such satisfaction that he was ordained to the Sacred Ministry, in the name of the Lord, with the laying on of hands. The Depp. ad caus. Maritimas, will fur- nish him with the proper papers in the premises. vii. 81. xix. 168.

At a Council, 18th April, 1674. Present - Governor-General Anthony Colve, Councillor Cornelis Steenwyck, Mr. Cornelis van Ruyven and Secretary Nicolas Bayard, assumed Councillors, and Fiscal Willem Knyff.


Whereas Samuel Forman, residing at Oysterbay, on Long Island, at present a prisoner, hath dared to come, some time ago, into this city without permission and to make great noise and uproar along the public streets; and whereas he has attempted to disturb the public peace, and, moreover, presumed to come into the church on the last Sabbath, and there, in full meeting, during divine service, to make great out- cry, abusing with great levity, the Word of God, and blaspheming His Holy Name, all which, in a well regulated community, can in no wise be tolerated but ought to be punished as an example to others; therefore the Governor-General of New Netherland, administering justice in the name and on the behalf of their High' Mightinesses, the Lords States-General of the United Netherlands and his Serene Highness the Prince of Orange, having heard the Fiscal's demand and the prisoner's acknowledgement, have condemned and sentenced, do hereby condemn and sentence : said Samuel Forman to be brought to the place where justice is usually executed, there to be severely whipped with rods, and to be banished forever out of this Province; furthermore, to pay the costs and expenses of justice.

PETITION OF WIDOW MEGAPOLENSIS TO GOV .- GENERAL COLVE AND COUNCIL.


1674, June 16.


On the petition of widow Megapolensis, etc., the following recommendation Is granted her:


Whereas we are informed that a considerable sum is yet due to the widow of deceased Domine Megapolensis and to Domine Samuel Megapolensis, late ministers in this city, both from the city, and others, for earned salary, requesting that the same may be paid her the earlier because said widow is now about to return to. Patria; therefore those of the W. Court of this city are recommended, on her peti- tion, to examine the justice of said debts, and where the fault lies; why said earned salaries are still unpaid, and further, if possible, to devise some expedient whereby said arrears may be paid and discharged.


Whereas it has been represented to us that the widow of deceased Domine Megapolensis and Domine Samuel Megapolensis, late ministers in this city, have still due to each of them for earned salary from the town of Bergen, the sum of one hundred florins, wampum value, requesting that the sum may be paid her, the rather as said widow is on the eve of going to Patria; therefore, the magistrates of the aforesaid town are, on her presented petition, recommended to use all possible means that said arrears may be forthwith paid and discharged.


Burgomaster Egidius Luyck is hereby required and ordered to demand an account from Jan Corsen, the steward, of the provisions received by him as steward since the 10th of October, 1673, to the 31st of May last, from said Burgomaster Luyck for the use of the garrison; and further, to settle and close said account with him and thereof to report as soon as possible .- Col.
