Commentary	In 1606, Wolphert Webber, living in the Warmoesstraet, in Het Wapen van Straetsburgh, bought lots for 3 f. 12 st. (GAA, 13/2 F 85). He became a well known wine dealer who declared faillit shortly before his death. He was married to Agniesien Cocx, the daughter of Hendrick Jansz. Cocx, who was the nephew of Maria Cocx, married to Hans Lenaertsz., of INVNO 568. For details, see the NOTES to R 20317 of Montias2. Among the books: Cathegismus Ursini and Institutio Calvini.
