Transcription
In Silezie hebben een aantal gezinnen, door dweeperij gedreven, zich afgescheide van de luthersche kerk en het voornemen opgeval, om to verhuizen naar Australie. De pruissische regering heeft die lieden vermaand, om van hun dolzinning ontwerp aftezien en rustig ten hunnent te blijven.
Translation
In Silesia a number of families, driven by fanaticism, have broken away from the Lutheran Church and announced their intention to move to Australia. The Prussian government has exhorted these people to abandon their stupid plan and peacefully return to their homes.
