After the Waartgelders had been disbanded, Utrecht revolutionized by main force, the National Synod decided upon, and the process of changing the municipal magistracies everywhere in the interest of Contra-Remonstrants begun, he continued to urge moderation and respect for law.

Oswald Dykes, came up from the body of the Church, shook me warmly by the hand, whispered a few encouraging words in my ear, and, returned to his seat. God helped me to tell my story, and the audience were manifestly interested. Next, by kind invitation, I visited and addressed the United Presbyterian Synod of Scotland, assembled in Edinburgh.

As a young man he had been summoned to appear before the synod at Ipswich for not conforming to the rites of the Established Church. In the first year of Charles's reign he had been indicted for refusing to exhibit his musket, and he had twice later been indicted for witchcraft and once as a common imbarritor.
They prayed, as they always do, for peace from on high and for salvation, for the Holy Synod, and for the Tsar; they prayed, too, for the servants of God, Konstantin and Ekaterina, now plighting their troth. "Vouchsafe to them love made perfect, peace and help, O Lord, we beseech Thee," the whole church seemed to breathe with the voice of the head deacon.
