Issendorp, Hendrik

Issendorp, Hendrik belonged to the Evangelical Lutherans of Holland. He was called in 1723 to the charge of a Lutheran church at Purmerend. In 1737 bodily infirmities rendered a colleague necessary. In 1743 he resigned his charge. Though obliged to desist from his ministerial work, he rendered himself eminently useful to his denomination by presenting to the Dutch a translation of some three or four hundred German hymns.
