"PETITION OF THE MAGISTRATES OF BERGEN, ASKING TO BE PROVIDED WITH A CLERGYMAN.

To the Noble, Very Worshipful, His HONOR, the Director-General, and The Honorable Council of New Netherland.

Show with due reverence the Schepens of the village of Bergen, that whereas your petitioners have observed and considered the fatherly direction and care of your Honorable Worships regarding the erection of churches, and school-houses, more especially that a God fearing man and preacher be secured to promote and teach the fear of the Lord in the community of Bergen and its jurisdiction; Therefore, the Schepens have thought it advisable, each for himself, to propose it, to learn what every man would be willing to pay yearly of his free will, affection, and love of God's holy and blessed word, to have a good teacher, till such a time, when the Noble Lords-Directors of the Incorporated West-India Company shall begin, according to the custom of the country, to levy tithes. After the Schepens had made these propositions, the below named persons have voluntarily declared that they will give a yearly contribution; the sum to be paid by such voluntary offerings may be calculated at 417 guilders in wampum, but there are among these people some, who have expressed themselves willing to do more according to their abilities; if God Our Lord would bless them and increase their prosperity; among the others, opposite whose names no sums are mentioned; there are some very willing, some very unwise, those, who are willing, are the majority and declare, that when a preacher comes, they too would do their best according to the circumstances, like the others. Whereas the petitioners do not know, whether the people of Haersimons (Ahasimus) come under this jurisdiction; therefore, the petitioners cannot report, what they would do, but the Schepens find it advisable and very necessary, that the village be provided with a preacher and submit to the mature consideration and decision of your Honorable Worships, that it might be notified to the Noble Lords-Directors, our Patoons, by the next ships. Your Honorable Worships know, with what courage the village of Bergen has been established by the community and that the same has maintained itself at great expense to the inhabitants, without any outlay to the Lords- Directors. The community is therefore of opinion, that their Noble Honors should take that into consideration and therefore assist the village of Bergen so much readier according to their discretion and to send one over for one or two years at their expense; during that time the land will with God's help have increased in value, so that then that which the good hearted community will liberally give, can be taken for assistance.

Awaiting you Honorable Worships decision hereon the petitioners remain. Your Noble, Honorable Worships humble servants: Tielman van Vleeck, Machghyel Jansen, Herman Smedman, CASPER STEINMETS." *
