Source: Bibliotheek van de Universiteit van Amsterdam: Doopsgezinde Prenten

Abraham Verduin (born Amsterdam, 1 December 1668, died Koogaan de Zaan, 1756) was trained for the ministry by Galenus Abrahamsz at Amsterdam. He was appointed ministerial candidate by the church board of the Amsterdam Lamist congregation and accepted a call of the Koog-Zaandijk congregation, which caused some trouble with the trustees of the Amsterdam congregation, who wished Verduin to be a preacher of their church. Verduin served at Koog-Zaandijk for nearly sixty years, from 1698 until his death. He was the first formally trained and salaried minister of this congregation. Until 1726 he received a salary of 600 Dutch guilders, but after this year he refused the payment, henceforth serving "for love." He probably practiced some other profession which enabled him to do without the salary. Verduin served with great ability and much blessing. In April 1728 his colleague, Dirk Simonsz Moeriaen(s), a lay preacher, died. Verduin preached his funeral sermon, Het Heil in den Dood (Haarlem, n.d.). Besides this sermon he published a large number of books.
