In the year 1570, there were imprisoned at Haarlem
in Holland, a brother named Adriaen Pieters,
and a sister named Barber Joosten, not on account
of any crime or heresy, but only because they
sought to follow Christ in the regeneration, for
which they were envied by the servants of antichrist,
who sought with many tyrannical means to
draw them from Christ, and to make them follow
their self-invented idolatry which militates against
God. But these, as giants in the faith, valiantly
resisted, through the grace of God, the snares of
Satan. Hence, they were condemned and sentenced
to death by the rulers of darkness. Adriaen Pieters
was burnt, and Barber Joosten was drowned in
great steadfastness, and thus they both remained
faithful to the Lord their God unto death and hence
out of grace, obtained the crown of eternal life.
