Plate 44, L.Z., Galle. 



Translation. — As a blessed remembrance of the late Rev. 

 Jan Marten Wittensleger. Born in Galle, 13th May, 1763, 

 and died 6th October, 1835. 



He was appointed Deacon of the Congregation here in 

 1804, and Elder in 1812, and Proponent in 1823. In these 

 offices he laboured for 28 years with untiring zeal, both in 

 precept and example, combined with zeal and love, for the 

 honour of God ; and in all his relations in life he excelled 

 as a pattern to his fellow-beings, as a worthy man, a noble 

 friend, true Christian, and loyal servant and follower of 

 Jesus Christ, his God and Lord. 



Erected by the Congregation at Galle, 1836. 



Remarks. — The above is rather a free translation of the 

 epitaph. Jan Marten was the son of Jan Wittensleger and 

 Arembewellege Junesa, the latter evidently a Sinhalese 

 lady.* 



Plate 45, L.Z., Galle.
