At Ghent, in Flanders, there were imprisoned for
their faith, two pious sisters, named Barbelken Goethals
and Saerken van Duerhove. While confined
in the convent of St. Peter, they had to resist many
temptations, sufferings and vexations; but adhering
nevertheless steadfastly to the divine truth, they
were finally sentenced to death as heretics, and, on
the 21st of November, 1570, burnt without Ghent,
in consequence of which they are delivered, and
shall remain so forever, from the eternal and unquenchable
fire of hell.
