In the year 1592, in the month of July, there
were apprehended at Ghent in Flanders, for the
practice of the word of God, two brethren and a
sister, named Bartholomeus Panten, Michiel the
widower, and Kalleken N., who suffered much
temptation, and were severely examined, by the
priests, the Jesuits, and also by the pensionary, before
whom they freely and fearlessly confessed their
faith, to which they adhered steadfastly without departing
from it. Thereupon it happened, that the
sister was released from her bonds and set at liberty.
But the brethren were severely tortured, in order
that they should apostatize from their God, and
indicate their fellow-brethren. But God, who does
not forsake his own, but keeps them as the apple
of his eye, so succored them, that they were enabled
to adhere steadfastly to him and his word,
and to keep their lips from bringing their neighbor
into trouble. Hence they were finally sentenced to
death as heretics, for the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and having first been hanged to the gallows, and
strangled, in the Count’s castle, they were then
buried without in the gallows’ field. And as they
helped the Lord Jesus Christ bear his reproach, so
they shall also be received up with him into his
glory full of honor and light, to live with him forever
in joy and gladness.

We have also added here, for the benefit of the
reader, the letters which Bartholomeus Panten wrote
in his bonds.
