VERY SINCERE EPISTLE

TO

MARTIN MICRON

AS

A NECESSARY REPLY TO HIS INDISCREET FALSEHOOD, ABUSE, AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS, CONCERNING THE MAGISTRACY, SWEARING OF OATHS, &C., WHICH HE HAS PRESENTED

FOR THE PERUSAL OF THE WHOLE WORLD, TO THE DISGRACE OF THE HOLY, DIVINE

WORD AND OF HIS (THE LORD'S) CHURCH; AS ALSO SERVING AS A MIRROR TO HIS

ERRING SOUL, THAT HE MAY LEARN TO KNOW HIMSELF, AND MAY KNOW, TO-

GETHER WITH THE READERS OF BOTH OUR WRITINGS, HOW WICKEDLY

BE HAS ACTED AGAINST GOD AND MAN, THAT HE MAY MAKE CON-

FESSION, REPENT, AND BE SAVED.

BY

MENNO SIMON.
