All that would follow Christ, must take his cross
upon them; this was experienced by one brother
Absalom van Tomme, or the Singer, who was apprehended
for the truth, at Kortrijck, in Flanders,
in the year 1558. After he had been examined,
and had made confession of his faith, he was severely
assailed with threats and tortures, in order to
cause him to apostatize; but he remained steadfast
in everything, and firmly trusted in God, so that he
was sentenced to death, and burned, showing himself a
good disciple or servant of Christ, who did not
wish to be above his Master, but like him, namely,
to suffer with him, in order to enter into the kingdom
of God, even as Christ had to suffer, to enter
into his glory.
