For the sake of continuity in the narrative, the siege of Harlem has been related until its conclusion. This great event constituted, moreover, the principal stuff in Netherland, history, up to the middle of the year 1573. A few loose threads must be now taken up before we can proceed farther.

Matthew and the De puritate Ecclesiae in 1542; the De immensa Dei misericordia in 1558 and 1573; the Apophthegmata Graeciae sapientum in 12 editions between 1558 and 1599; the De praeparatione ad mortem in 1564 and 1786; and the Vidua Christiana in 1595.
For whereas our Captain had purposed to touch at Newfoundland, and there to have watered; which would have been some let unto us, though we stood in great want of water; yet GOD Almighty so provided for us, by giving us good store of rain water, that we were sufficiently furnished: and, within twenty-three days, we passed from the Cape of Florida, to the Isles of Scilly, and so arrived at Plymouth, on Sunday, about sermon time, August the 9th, 1573.
