PETITION OF THE LUTHERANS OF WILLEMSTADT

FOR LEAVE TO BURY THETR DEAD. 1C74. [Translatetl.]

To tlie Rt Honij'e Myn Heer Anthony Colve Govern'" General of N. Netherland.

Those of the Augsburgh Confession represent with due respect tliat your Petitioners are ordered in cases of the burial ofthelrdead, to pay the Sexton {Janspreecker^) of the Reformed Church notwithstanding they employ their own Sexton, as lately happened, one of theirs having seized goods by execution and sold the same at public auction : And the Petitioners remark that they fully pay all taxes assessments, excise and all others whatever they may be called; Yea they endeavour to pay also their own poor : I'liey are therefore, as they consider, not in the least subject to sucli charges but on tlie contrary ought to enjoy their (religious) exercises and Divine Service free and unconstrained, for which tliey have a written grant from tlie late Hon^'c Governour Lovelace copy of which is hereunto annexed.
