Everardus Bogardus <ref name="term_26186" />  

<p> the second minister of the Reformed (Dutch) [[Church]] in New York, [[Jonas]] Michaelius being the first. Mr. Bogardus arrived at New [[Amsterdam]] in 1633, with governor Van Twiller, and with Adam Roeland, Sr., the first teacher, and founder of the School of the [[Collegiate]] Church. Upon the reception of their minister, the people, who had hitherto worshipped in a loft over a horse-mill, erected a church edifice near the East River, in what is now [[Broad]] Street. Mr. Bogardus soon became involved in unfortunate conflicts with individuals and, with governor Van Twiller, whom he severely reprimanded from the pulpit as "a child of the devil." He came also into collision with governor Kieft, who caused charges against him to be preferred before the [[Classis]] of Amsterdam. The governor, who had been superseded by Peter Stuyvesant, and the domiinie sailed for [[Holland]] in the same vessel, Aug. 16, 1647, to account for their conduct; but the vessel was wrecked in [[Bristol]] Channel, off the coast of Wales, and both of them were lost. See De Witt, Historical [[Discourse]] Corwin, Manual of the Ref. Church in [[America]] (3d ed.), p. 187. (W. J. R. T.) </p>
