TO THEIR HIGH POWERS The three States of the Pays and Duche de Brabant High and Mighty Lords! Posterity, informed of what You have done for it, enjoying as we do the fruit of Your courage and Your zeal for public welfare; will envy us the advantage of having known You in person, and will desire to enjoy the Traits of which the destructive Times would deprive them, if Art did not prevent the effect. Allow me, therefore, my Lords, to devote my feeble talents to this task, and that by presenting you with your images, I am fulfilling at least in part the duty of recognition that the country owes you. I have the honor to be with the deepest Respect of your High Power. The most obedient and devoted Servant, AB: de Quertenmont.
