When the Duke of Alba tyrannized with great
violence against the Gospel, as Antiochus against
the law, 2 Macc. 7, there were brought prisoners
into Ypres, in Flanders, in the year 1569, one Dirk
Anoot, of Westvleteren, and one named Willem, a
wood-sawyer, who, as they could in no wise be
drawn from the truth by tribulation, fear, or any suffering
inflicted upon them, were finally condemned
and sentenced to the fire, and were then brought
into the market place, before the city hall, with a
stick fastened in their mouth, that they should not
speak. There each was placed at a stake and
burned. Thus they, as those who did not love
their life, but delivered it up for the Gospel, offered
up their bodies as a burnt sacrifice unto God,
their Lord.
