and ply their trades. Every pass was
valid four weeks this was obtained
from the ruling burgomaster Of Ham
burg and cost one bagar (ducat p, and
when the four weeks were spent one
had to draw new pass; but the four
weeks often grew into eight. because of
the relations existing between the bur
gomaster or some of the officials and the
folks. 1t was, nebich, (alas) very hard
for the people, for they had to seek all
means OF gaining a livelihood in the
city, and especially those, nebich, who
were poor, needy folks. Many Gotten
dared to steal into the city without a
pass; when then they were caught by the
officials they were locked up and much
money was spent and there was sorrow
until one had again liberated them.
Early the next morning, as soon as they,
nebich, came from the ,Schuht, they went
into the city, and toward nightfall, when
the gates of the city were about to be clos

often, when they, nebich, went out,
their lives were not secure, because of
the rischuS Of the bad people and the
rabble, so that each wife, 'nebch,
thanked God that she again had iher
husband safely with her. There were,
at that time, no forty households of
those who came from Hamburg to AL
tona, were at that time, no great
n'7'wr (rich people, but each
gained an honest livelihood, The rich
est folks Of that time were Chain
Fuerst, man owning 10000 rix-dollars,
my father, with God, owning 5000 rix-
dollars others owning 5000 and some
2000rix- dollars but deporting themselves
very nicely and living 7a7., 7,7s,
lin love and sincerity with
each other but in those times they
lived more happily together than in
these generations, when the rich people
are Unsuitable, and thereupond do we say
Amen.
