Father Seysen called the next day and received his answer; and three days afterwards, the bells of the little church of Terneuse were ringing a merry peal for the union of Amine Poots and Philip Vanderdecken.
I will now go up, and so soon as your wife awakens, prepare her for your meeting." When Father Seysen had quitted the room, Father Mathias debated the matter with Philip. A long discussion ensued, in which similar arguments were made use of by the priest; and Philip, although not convinced, was at least doubtful and perplexed. He left the cottage.
But as Father Seysen, when questioned, said, in a mild voice, that "he had departed in peace," it was presumed that Mynheer Poots had died a good Christian, although he had acted little up to the tenets of Christianity during his life.

Philip called Amine, and having begged her as a favour to receive the priest's visits, the good old man blessed them both and departed. "You did not give him any money, Mr Philip?" said Mynheer Poots, when Father Seysen had left the room. "I did not," replied Philip; "I wish I had thought of it." "No, no it is better not for money is better than what he can give you; but he must not come here."
"Holy father! is it possible?" replied the woman. Amine made no reply, but went to bed; but Father Mathias heard all that passed as he paced the room below. The next day he called upon Father Seysen, and communicated to him what had occurred and the false suspicions of Amine. "You have acted hastily," replied Father Seysen, "to visit a woman's chamber at such an hour of the night."
Tell me, if one knows that sorcery is used, and conceals or allows it, is he not a participator and equally guilty?" "He is," replied the Inquisitor, anxiously awaiting the result. "Then I denounce " and Amine was about to reveal that Philip's mission was known, and not forbidden by Fathers Mathias and Seysen; when, recollecting that Philip would be implicated, she stopped.
It was here, if you recollect, that we debated the subject of the lawfulness of inducing dreams; and it was here, dear Philip, that you told me your dream, and that I expounded it." "You did so, Amine; but if you ask the opinion of Father Seysen, you will find that he would give rather a strong decision against you he would call it heretical and damnable." "Let him, if he pleases.
A few days after he had sailed, he bitterly repented that he had not stated the whole of his circumstances to Father Seysen, and taken his advice upon the propriety of following up his search; but it was now too late; already was the good ship Batavia more than a thousand miles from the port of Amsterdam, and his duty, whatever it might be, must be fulfilled.
"You must dress yourself, Philip," continued she, "and must assist me to carry up his body, and place it in his bed, before the arrival of the priest. God of mercy! had I given you that powder, my dearest Philip but let us not talk about it. Be quick, for Father Seysen will be here soon." Philip was soon dressed, and followed Amine down into the parlour.
