(Simon de Vos presents himself here in art. And introduces to the poor his goodwill to everyone. If he wills half of his property to the poor I wish that your heart is touched to do the same. He lived soberly in order to enrich the Poor Relief with his possessions. May God take pity on his soul. Died 15 October in the year 1676 at the age of 73)
