Lambertus Wilhelmi, a monk of Sion Abbey, and director of these nuns,
composed in the year 1452 a _History of the Convent of St. Margaret at
Gouda_, by order of its superintendent, Heymanus Florentii, a monk of
'S. Gravezande. This convent was burnt in 1572 by one of Lumey's
captains, Hans Aulterman, who for his many crimes was condemned on the
11th of April, 1573, and burnt alive at the gates of Gouda.
The Nicholas de Wit mentioned in the Query was prior of the monastery of
St. Michael, near Schoonhoven. (See further T. Walvisch, _Beschrÿving
van Gouda_, II. pp. 123-172.)

_Rev. John Paget_ (Vol. iv., p. 133.).--Of this clergyman the following
mention is made in the _Resolutions of the States General_:
"9 January, 1607. Op te requeste van John Paget, predikand van de
Engelsche regimenten, is geordonneert de selve te stellen in
handen van den Ovesten Horace Vere, Ridder, omme ordre te stellen,
dat den suppl. van syn tractament mach worden betaelt."
9 January, 1607. Touching the request of John Paget, chaplain of
the English regiments, is ordained that the same be placed in the
hands of the Colonel Horace Vere, Knight, that provision may be
made for the payment of the suppliant's salary.
From the register of a marriage celebrated at Leyden the 7th of January,
1649, between Mathys Paget, smith, and Maria Picters Del Tombe, both of
that city, it would appear that other members of the Paget family have
resided there.

The Rev. John Paget doubtless belonged to an English or Scotch family,
sometimes also called Pagett, or Pagetius. John Paget, who was the first
minister of the English church in Amsterdam, came there in 1607, and
preached his introductory sermon on the 5th of February, in the chapel
prepared for that purpose: his formal induction took place in the month
of April, in the same year, and here he remained twenty-nine years.
Thomas Paget, invited from Blackeley in England, was inducted in
November 1639, and departed the 29th of August 1646, for Shrewsbury.
Robert Paget, or Pagetius, minister of the Scotch congregation at
Dordrecht from 1638 to 1685, "was a man of extensive biblical knowledge,
but of extreme modesty." When the English church in Amsterdam was
offered him, he could not be prevailed upon to accept it. With Jacob
Borstius he lived on terms of close intimacy.
