These, then, as has been briefly stated before, are the principal articles of our general Christian faith, as we teach and practice the same throughout in our churches and among our people; which, in our judgment, is the only true Christian faith, which the apostles in their time believed and taught, yea, testified with their life, confirmed with their death, and, some of them, also sealed with their blood; wherein we in our weakness with them and all the pious, would fain abide, live, and die, that we may afterwards obtain salvation with them through the grace of the Lord. _Thus done and finished in our united churches, in the city of Dortrecht, the 21st of April, 1632, new style._ And was signed by the mutually united: DORTRECHT. _Isaac de Koning, and in the name of our minister._ _Jan Jacobs._ (_On the other side._) _By me Hans Cobrijsz._ _By me Jacuis Terwen._ _Claes Dircksg._ _Mels Gijsbertsz._ _Adriaen Cornelissz._ MIDDELBURG. _Bastiaen Willemsen._ _Jan Winkelmans._ VLISSINGEN. _Oillaert Willeborts,_ _by Jacob Pennen._ _Lieven Marijnesz._ AMSTERDAM. _Tobias Govertsz._ _Pieter Jansz Moyer._ _Abraham Dircksz._ (_On the other side._) _David ter Haer._ _Pieter Jansz van Singel._ HAERLEM. _Jan Doom._ _Piter Grijspert._ (_On the other side._) _Dirck Wonteresz Kolenkamp._ _Pieter Joosten._ BOMMEL. _Willem Jansz van Exselt._ _Gijsbert Spiering._ ROTTERDAM. _Balten Centen Schoenmaker._ _M.

This is given as a remembrance. Here is the patience and faith of the saints. Rev. 13:10.
