Editing Flushing Remonstrance (section)

==Later history==
The earliest version of the document in English dates also from 1657 as an official copy of the original, but the original, likely in Dutch, has been lost.<ref name=NYT1/> This early handwritten copy suffered singeing in the burning of the New York State Capitol in 1911, yet remains essentially complete. It has seldom been in public anywhere.{{cn|date=December 2020}}

The Queens Borough President's Office held a celebration of the 350th anniversary of the Remonstrance in 2007. Descendants of the signers, Bowne, Stuyvesant, and the arresting officer were invited and in attendance, and the original copy of the Remonstrance was brought down from the State Archives in Albany for several weeks' public display.<ref name=NYT1/>
