[272](/en/stories/mm-janneken-and-noele-a-d-1558/#FNanchor_272) See note in a former page. [273](/en/stories/mm-joris-wippe-joostens-son-put-to-death-at-dortrecht-a-d-1558/#FNanchor_273) Has held, etc.; an error of the writer of this sentence; for Joris still held these views at that very time. [274](/en/stories/mm-joris-wippe-joostens-son-put-to-death-at-dortrecht-a-d-1558/#FNanchor_274) How can God be honored by what he has forbidden? [275](/en/stories/mm-joris-wippe-joostens-son-put-to-death-at-dortrecht-a-d-1558/#FNanchor_275) What edification could the lords derive therefrom, who, by doing this, made themselves tyrants, yea, murderers? [276](/en/stories/mm-confession-of-jacques-dauchy-made-before-the-commissary-and-the-inquisitor/part-2/#FNanchor_276) East country, probably Austria or the Orient is meant here.—Trans. [277](/en/stories/mm-confession-of-jacques-dauchy-made-before-the-commissary-and-the-inquisitor/part-16/#FNanchor_277) The passage referred to is 1 Samuel 21:6. The reader will bear in mind that formerly the two books of Samuel were called respectively the first and second book of the Kings.—Translator. [278](/en/stories/mm-confession-of-a-woman-called-claesken-who-laid-down-her-life-for-the-testimony-of-jesus-a-d-1559/part-2/#FNanchor_278) Den Kerck-gang. [279](/en/stories/mm-jan-jans-brant-a-d-1559/#FNanchor_279) Name of a bridge. [280](/en/stories/mm-adriaen-pan-and-his-wife-a-d-1559/#FNanchor_280) Take heed therefore and watch for him; for he shall come as a thief in the night. [281](/en/stories/mm-adriaen-pan-and-his-wife-a-d-1559/#FNanchor_281) I never had greater joy than at this present time. [282](/en/stories/mm-a-letter-from-maeyken-de-korte/#FNanchor_282) An implied substitution of gender, peculiar to the genius of the Dutch (as also, the German) language; the exclaimant, losing sight of her own individuality, views herself only as a representative of Adam’s race, and recipient of God’s munificence.—Trans. [283](/en/stories/mm-hans-vermeersch-also-called-hans-van-maes-put-to-death-at-waesten-in-flanders-for-the-testimony-of-jesus-christ-a-d-1559/part-3/#FNanchor_283) The author of this confession apparently bases his argument upon a version of the Scriptures in which the preposition, or prepositions, on which his argument hinges, are different in signification, at least in his view, from those occupying corresponding positions in our English translation.—Trans. [284](/en/stories/mm-the-second-letter-of-lauwerens-van-der-leyen/part-2/#FNanchor_284) Apparently an allusion to the fact of his not having been baptized.—Translator. [285](/en/stories/mm-nicholas-felbinger-and-john-leytner-in-the-year-1560/#FNanchor_285) Fifth Sunday in Lent. [286](/en/stories/mm-a-testament-of-soetgen-van-den-houte-which-she-left-her-children-david-betgen-and-tanneken-for-a-memorial-and-for-the-be/part-5/#FNanchor_286) From what is related here, it appears that also Soetgen van den Houte’s husband died for the truth, as a valiant witness of Jesus; although we have not been able to learn the time, place and manner of his death. [287](/en/stories/mm-the-fourth-letter-which-matthias-servaes-wrote-from-prison-to-all-brethren-and-sisters-in-general/part-5/#FNanchor_287) Or Moravians. [288](/en/stories/mm-the-fifth-letter-which-matthias-servaes-wrote-from-prison-to-his-mother-his-brother-john-his-brother-in-law-leonhard-and/part-2/#FNanchor_288) King’s Dollars. [289](/en/stories/mm-the-eighth-letter-of-matthias-servaes-written-from-prison-to-aeltgen-his-wife/#FNanchor_289) The construction of this clause in the original seems to indicate, with great probability, a typographical error, consisting in the substitution, in the pronoun, of an m for a w, and that, accordingly, it ought to read I, instead of: we. [290](/en/stories/mm-the-ninth-letter-of-matthias-servaes-written-from-prison-to-f-v-h/#FNanchor_290) The word used in the original denotes a female friend.—Tr. [291](/en/stories/mm-john-mang-in-the-year-1567/#FNanchor_291) Probably, Sonthofen (in Bavaria). [292](/en/stories/mm-a-letter-from-jacques-mesdagh/part-2/#FNanchor_292) German version of the Bible. [293](/en/stories/mm-a-letter-from-jacques-mesdagh/part-5/#FNanchor_293) In regard to the passage here alluded to (1 Pet. 2:23) see German version of the Bible.—Trans. [294](/en/stories/mm-adrian-willems-a-d-1568-294/#FNanchor_294) This Adrian Willems was not mentioned in previous editions. [295](/en/stories/mm-this-hendrick-maelschalck-on-the-26th-of-january-1568-wrote-the-following-letter-from-prison-at-ghent/#FNanchor_295) The word used in the original denotes a female friend.—Tr. [296](/en/stories/mm-valerius-schoolmaster-martyred-a-d-1568/part-3/#FNanchor_296) See whether a criminal is pardoned, if he is not willing to amend his ways. [297](/en/stories/mm-valerius-schoolmaster-martyred-a-d-1568/part-3/#FNanchor_297) Many think they are good Christians, because they do not steal or commit murder, and because they do not perpetrate violence or highway robbery, or because they refrain from evils which they can or dare not do; however, this is no virtue in their case. [298](/en/stories/mm-valerius-schoolmaster-martyred-a-d-1568/part-6/#FNanchor_298) That no one say: We cannot be perfect; except to those who say that they are perfect. There is nothing so good as that men will not contradict it, even with the Scriptures. [299](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-which-jan-thielemans-wrote-from-prison/#FNanchor_299) The reader will observe that this rendering of the passage alluded to here (Heb. 10:24), does not fully coincide with the one found in the English version of the Bible; which may be attributed either to the author’s having used an imperfect translation, or to an error on his part, in quoting said passage from memory.—Trans. [300](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-which-jan-thielemans-wrote-from-prison/#FNanchor_300) See preceding foot note. [301](/en/stories/mm-claudine-le-vettre-and-with-her-a-brother-a-d-1568/#FNanchor_301) Respecting said letters it has not been possible for us to obtain any of them. [302](/en/stories/mm-claudine-le-vettre-and-with-her-a-brother-a-d-1568/#FNanchor_302) Piersom was a teacher [minister] of the church of God called Mennists. [303](/en/stories/mm-maerten-pieters-and-gritgen-jans-a-d-1569/#FNanchor_303) Perhaps St. Bartholomew’s day.—Trans. [304](/en/stories/mm-hendrick-alewijns-hans-marijns-van-oosten-and-gerrit-duynherder-a-d-1569/part-6/#FNanchor_304) Evidently a misquotation.—Trans. [305](/en/stories/mm-hendrick-alewijns-hans-marijns-van-oosten-and-gerrit-duynherder-a-d-1569/part-7/#FNanchor_305) 17, the original has it; but this is evidently an error.—Trans. [306](/en/stories/mm-disputation-between-jacob-de-keersgieter-and-mr-friar-cornelis-a-franciscan-monk-in-the-presence-of-mr-jan-van-damme-rec/#FNanchor_306) The following two disputations, the first between Jacob de Roore, or Jacob Keersgieter, and Friar Cornelis, and the second between Herman Vlekwijck and the same Fr. Cornelis, were not given in Van Braght’s first edition of 1660, which we made the standard in our translation, but was added in the subsequent editions. Van Braght refers to these disputations and says that he omitted them on account of the indelicate and harsh language which frequently occurs in the remarks of the impolite Friar. We have omitted the worst of these expressions and have indicated the omissions thus * * * There are also a number of accounts of martyrs, not given in the edition of 1660, but inserted in the subsequent editions, which are also given in this translation.—Publishers. [307](/en/stories/mm-disputation-between-jacob-de-keersgieter-and-mr-friar-cornelis-a-franciscan-monk-in-the-presence-of-mr-jan-van-damme-rec/part-7/#FNanchor_307) A term of derision chosen because of its assonance, in the original (Calversteerten and Calversteerinnnen), to the name Calvinists.—Transl. [308](/en/stories/mm-disputation-between-jacob-de-keersgieter-and-mr-friar-cornelis-a-franciscan-monk-in-the-presence-of-mr-jan-van-damme-rec/part-7/#FNanchor_308) An opprobrious appellation for the Protestants.—Tr. [309](/en/stories/mm-disputation-between-herman-vleckwijk-imprisoned-by-the-lords-of-the-country-van-den-vrye-in-bruges-and-friar-cornelis-in/part-10/#FNanchor_309) Creed. [310](/en/stories/mm-disputation-between-herman-vleckwijk-imprisoned-by-the-lords-of-the-country-van-den-vrye-in-bruges-and-friar-cornelis-in/part-11/#FNanchor_310) See German version.
