Jan van Dijk (Dijck) was a Dutch Mennonite minister who served the Zonist congregation at Amsterdam from 1664 until his death in 1678. He was the author of Noodtwendich Bericht tot Openinge der tegenwoordighe onlusten . . . in de Gemeente der Doopsgezinde . . . binnen Amsterdam (Amsterdam, 1663), and Antwoort op de Wederlegging van het Nootwendich Bericht . . . (Amsterdam, 1664). In both booklets van Dijk shows himself as a champion of the views of the conservatives among the Flemish congregation of Amsterdam, usually called de Ouderen, and an ardent antagonist of Galenus Abrahamsz and his principles. The latter book was directed against a booklet of Pieter Balling, Verdediging van de Regeering der Doopsgez. gemeente . . . (Amsterdam, 1663), in which van Dijk's Nootwendich Bericht was opposed and the Ouderen had been accused of partiality, backwardness, and defamation. In 1665 van Dijk, about whose life nothing was available, signed the Verbondt van Eenigheydt, an agreement of the conservatives, which stressed the outstanding confessions of faith.
