Did I not tell you beforehand? Eight days ago, at the guild, I said there would be serious disturbances? (Jetter: Is it, then, true that they have plundered the churches in Flanders?) They have utterly destroyed both churches and chapels. They have left nothing standing but the four bare walls. The lowest rabble! And this it is that damages our good cause. We ought rather to have laid our claims before the Regent, formally and decidedly, and then have stood by them. If we speak now, if we assemble now, it will be said that we are joining the insurgents.
