Amen I Geliefde Broeder ! Gehoord hebbende U.E.W. verzoek op eene wettige wijze van onze gemeenten losmaking te ontvangen, van de vroeger vrijwillig op u genomene verbintenis, om voor onze gemeenten als Herder en leeraar werkzaam te zijn, zoo is het, dat wij, overtuigd zijnde, Van door den Heere in onze behoeften, boven velen rondom ons te zijn verzorgd in dezen, U.E.W. door dezen ontslaan van die verbintenis en de daaruit voortkomende verpligting, om n.l. onze gemeenten te verzorgen van de verkondiging des woords, de bediening de Sacramenten en vertrouwende dat U.E.W. evenwel zal blijven gedenken aan het woord des Heeren Tit. 1:5 want wij zijn noch slechts ten deele geholpen. Het is ook door desen dat wij getuigenis geven en onze dank betuigen dat U.E.W. steeds bevonden hebben te zijn eenen getrouwen Herder der kudde Christi onder ons, wenschende u voorts van ganscher harte toe den verderen bijstand uit den Hoogen, en eenmaal het zalig genadeloon den gaan getrouwen dienstknecht des Heeren toegezegd. Amen Namens de Kerkenraad te Rijssen, K. Baan ( ? - L. Sweetman ) Namens de Kerkenraad te Enter,  Hs. Lubbers Namens de Kerkenraad te Holten, W. B.

C. van Raalte t4') Ommen The Directors ( = opzieners) of the Congregation of Rijssen, Enter and  Holten wish you salvation and sanctification Amen ! Dear Brother ! We have received your request to obtain a lawful separation from our Congregations to which you earlier bound yourself voluntarily for the purpose of working among us as our Shepherd and our teacher. We are convinced that through your ministry the Lord has cared for us in all of our needs in a manner which exceeded the pastoral care many of those around us received. With this document we release you from your relation to our Congregations and from the obligation which flows out of that relation: to proclaim the Word of God, and to administer the Sacraments. We trust, furthermore, that you shall continue to remember the Word of the Lord which is found in Titus 1:5 for at this point the ministry we have received has led us only part of the way to our eternal goal. By means of this document we give witness and we express our thanks that you always have been a faithful Shepherd of the flock of Christ among us. We wish from the bottom of our hearts that you will receive further assistance from Almighty God, and that you one day shall receive the blessed and gracious reward of a faithful servant of the Lord. Amen ! In the name of the Church Council in Rijssen, Ct5tA K. Baan ( ? - L. Sweetman ) In the name of the Church Council in Enter, Hs.  Lubbers  In the name of the Church Council in  Holten,  W. B.
