Biographical Sketch (1997):1605, p. 48. "Antagonism between the state pastor at Richterswil and those straying brethern outside his flock was made obvious in the official marriage and baptismal register kept at the church. In southwest Canton Zürich, many Anabaptist bamilies reluctantly submitted to the expensive, theologically insulting and unwatned blessings that the state church could bestow on them. Ocasionally, they plainly resisted, but that was a sure way to draw harsh attention and penalties down on their heads.

For example, Johannes Jacob Bachman (1629) and Regula Strickler never had their son Jos baptized in 1657."
