ther presbyter is this allu-sion in Dom. Rudmans letter, which the latter evidently learned fromhearsay. Dom. Lock died twelve years before Rudmans arrival in Amer-ica. The person to whom the allusion refers, Avelius, was a Dutch studentby the name of Abelius Zetskoorn, also written Selskoorn, who came to thiscountry and for a time performed divine service at Sandhook. He went toManhattan with a recommendation to the Lutheran Congregation at thatplace. Governor General Stuyvesant, to get rid of him, sent him to Dom-inie Lars Lochenius on the Delaware, where it appears that he taughtschool, took upon himself to baptize children, and on Whitsuntide 1663was permitted to preach a sermon at Tinicum. Shortly afterwards he re-turned to New York, where he appears to have ministered to the DutchLutherans and appears in the records as Dominie Abelius. Dom. Berken-meyer in his list of Lutheran pastors of Manhattan mentions him as Goet-waters successor. 1703-MEMORIAL OF DOM. JUSTUS FALCKNER-1903.
