Here in the Hollow under this Stone
lies THEODORUS VAN DE KERCKHOVEN.
In his life he was his father's and his mother's joy ;
he loved his brother dearly.
One year less three days was this tender plant
when God caused the soul to leave the body,
and frequently after his interment
people asked about him.
On the 5th November, in the year sixteen hundred and six times ten,
was he borne to earth :
in this town of Malacca was the occurrence seen.
