“Als de rivieren niet vrijgehouden worden, zal de stad [Antwerpen] verloren gaan, de soldaten zullen muiten, deserteren of zich overgeven aan de vijand, de rijken en Gereformeerden zullen vertrekken, de armen en het gespuis zullen de machtigste worden, ondertussen krijg ik geen antwoord, het lijkt wel of ze ons helemaal vergeten zijn.”
Philips van Marnix van St. Aldegonde

“If the rivers are not kept clear, the city [Antwerp] will be lost, the soldiers will mutiny, desert, or surrender to the enemy, the rich and reformed will leave, the poor and riffraff will become the most powerful, meanwhile I receive no answer, it seems they have forgotten us entirely.”
Philips van Marnix van St. Aldegonde
