1665. After he was released from this, arriving at my right side, he spoke with me and said that he had been like that during his life. Yet he spoke with shame, and no longer dared to look up, and therefore did not want to leave my side. He said he had been so torn apart that he thought nothing was holding together. But still he spoke respectfully, and he was sorry that he had been of that character, so he did not suffer as great a torment as others who had led that kind of promiscuous life. 1748, 23 March.
