Note 38 — SKETCHES OF JEWISH LOYALTY, BRAVERY AND PATRIOTISM IN THE SOUTH AMERICAN COLONIES AND THE WEST INDIES.
Reading edition
Cf. Montanus Arnoldus, De nieuwe en onbekende wereld of beschrijving van Amerika en 't Zuidland, Amsterdam, 1671, fol. 81; Netscher, l. c., p. 144, says: "Un Juif, Moise Accoignes, qu'on avait forcé à prendre part à cette conspiration le dénonça au grand conseil." N. G. van Kampen, in his Geschichte der Niederlande, vol. II, p. 118 and Frankel in Monatsschrift, vol. XII (1863) p. 323-324, record, that the ringleader in this conspiracy was Joan Fernandes Víníra (?), who intended to poison the government officials at a dinner given at his own home, and the plot would have succeeded had not a Jew raised the alarm.
