Important pamphlet originating in the so-called Doelenlopersbeweging a democratic and Orangist movement against the Amsterdam Patriciate with its nepotism and autocratic stuctures during September 1672, the Rampjaar (the Disaster Year) of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. In this year, the Dutch Republic was attacked by England, France and the dioceses of Cologne and Munster, and the two regents and brothers Johan and Cornelis de Witt were publicly murdered by a rebellious and furious crowd in The Hague. These were turbulent times and the production of pamphlets was higher than ever.
