This Anpleunis van den Berge, because he had
permitted, in the year 1556, that the word of God
was truly and openly preached on his land, and that
he had lodged some of the brethren, had to leave
his own house and property, and conceal himself,
and sojourn with other good friends (so severe was
then the persecution against the Christians), until,
finally, while walking on the road, he was apprehended,
and this only because one who saw him
walking, said: There goes the man who permitted
preaching on his land. And though he offered to
give to the officer that apprehended him his purse
containing fifty pounds Flemish, if he would let him
go, he was nevertheless taken along into prison at
Kortrijk, where he, after a bold confession of his
faith, was very severely tortured, by scourging as
well as otherwise; but as he would in no wise apostatize
from his faith, or implicate any of his fellow-members,
he was finally sentenced to death, and
burned, in the year 1569, thus obtaining a house
and inheritance which shall never be taken from
him. 2 Cor. 5:1.
