"It was widely believed that the condemned Torrentius' influence had affected Jeronimus Cornelisz, a trader of the Dutch East India Trading Company who led a bloody mutiny aboard the "Batavia", a 1628 ship of the Dutch East India Company in 1629.According to the RKD, Torrentius was tried in 1627, but according to Houbraken, who quoted Theodorus Schrevelius, he was tried and placed on the "painbench", and thereupon sentenced to 20 years in the "Tuchthuis" (the Haarlem house of detention), on 25 July 1630.
