Notes:
This first book of English translations is believed to be an 1830's translation by a clerk and president of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, Cornelius Westbrook. It has been described as a poor translation, and this manuscript shows it was heavily edited, probably by Berthold Fernow in the late 1890s.
