[316](/en/stories/mm-cornelis-janss-of-haerlem-a-sailor-burnt-for-the-testimony-of-jesus-christ-at-amsterdam-on-the-12th-of-march-a-d-1569/#FNanchor_316) A great calumny which the writer of this sentence cast upon this good man, as though he had been forgetful of his soul’s salvation. [317](/en/stories/mm-clement-hendrickss-a-sail-maker-burnt-for-the-testimony-of-jesus-christ-at-amsterdam-on-the-twelfth-of-march-in-the-year/#FNanchor_317) How often shall it be said in these Amsterdam sentences, of the true believers, that they were unmindful of their soul’s salvation, whereas this was their sole object? [318](/en/stories/mm-copy-of-the-confessions-made-by-faes-dircks-imprisoned-here-in-thiendewegs-gate/#FNanchor_318) Behold here the strait of the believers in those times, who to hear the word of God, occasionally had to spend whole days and nights in order to attend the meeting. [319](/en/stories/mm-extract-from-the-book-of-criminal-sentences-of-the-town-of-gouda/#FNanchor_319) That is, in this case, he would have been executed with the sword, but as he remained steadfast, it did not come to this. [320](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-of-joost-verkindert-written-to-his-dear-wife-and-generally-to-all-brethren-and-sisters-in-the-lord-in-whi/part-2/#FNanchor_320) Probably Austria, or the country bordering on the Baltic.—Tr. [321](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-of-joost-verkindert-written-to-his-dear-wife-and-generally-to-all-brethren-and-sisters-in-the-lord-in-whi/part-3/#FNanchor_321) Any one. Dutch version. [322](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-of-joost-verkindert-written-to-his-brothers-michiel-and-pleun-on-the-7th-of-september-the-100th-day-of-hi/#FNanchor_322) Perhaps a typographical error, and should read, punish.—Tr. [323](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-of-joost-verkindert-written-to-his-brothers-michiel-and-pleun-on-the-7th-of-september-the-100th-day-of-hi/part-3/#FNanchor_323) Corner-stone, the original has it. [324](/en/stories/mm-a-letter-from-lauwerens-andriess-the-fellow-prisoner-of-joost-verkindert-sent-the-9th-of-september-to-r-the-wife-of-said/#FNanchor_324) We, in the original. [325](/en/stories/mm-the-second-letter-from-hansken-van-den-wege/#FNanchor_325) Of the Spirit, in the original. [326](/en/stories/mm-ten-persons-men-as-well-as-women-burned-for-the-testimony-of-jesus-christ-at-dordrecht-about-the-year-1570/#FNanchor_326) Of these martyrs from Breda mention seems to be made also in one of the letters of Jan Wouterss van Kuyck. [327](/en/stories/mm-the-second-letter-of-ydse-gaukes/#FNanchor_327) Nuns of the order of St. Bega. [328](/en/stories/mm-a-letter-written-by-jan-block/#FNanchor_328) Walk, move more circumspectly.—Trans. [329](/en/stories/mm-touching-the-persons-that-were-then-in-the-court-of-justice-and-consequently-sat-in-judgment-in-regard-to-this-sentence/#FNanchor_329) In’s heeren Handen, seyt den Schrijber. [330](/en/stories/mm-the-first-letter-from-jan-wouterss-to-his-brother-in-law-and-his-sister-which-treats-of-his-examination-and-torture/part-2/#FNanchor_330) Behold the man! John 19:5. [331](/en/stories/mm-the-ninth-letter-from-jan-wouterss-to-his-youngest-three-sisters/part-2/#FNanchor_331) Evidently an allusion to Isaiah 27:1, where (see German version) two serpents seem to be indicated. [332](/en/stories/mm-a-confession-of-faith-to-the-bailiff-and-the-council-then-residing-in-dortrecht-by-jan-wouterss-together-with-a-brief-ex/part-2/#FNanchor_332) Then I should sacrifice my child to the devil, the author had written, but this reads a little too harsh. [333](/en/stories/mm-a-confession-of-faith-to-the-bailiff-and-the-council-then-residing-in-dortrecht-by-jan-wouterss-together-with-a-brief-ex/part-2/#FNanchor_333) Hereby is meant Joris Wippe, who was put to death at Dortrecht, A. D. 1558. [334](/en/stories/mm-sentence-of-death-of-sander-wouterss-of-bommel-and-evert-hendricks-of-warendorp/#FNanchor_334) Thus spake also the enemies of the prophet Amos, saying: Amos hath conspired [against thee in the midst of the house of Israel:] the land is not able to bear all his words. Amos 7:10. And thus it was also said of Christ: “He perverts the nation.” Luke 23:2. [335](/en/stories/mm-willem-de-rijcker-and-christoffel-fierens-a-d-1572/#FNanchor_335) In Dutch, Vagevuur from vagen or vegen, to scour [and also to sweep] and vuur fire; hence a play on words, which cannot be rendered into the English without the loss of the humorous effect which it has in the original tongue.—Trans. [336](/en/stories/mm-maeyken-wens-and-some-of-her-fellow-believers-burnt-for-the-testimony-of-jesus-christ-at-antwerp-a-d-1573/#FNanchor_336) These are called: Janneken Mumstdorp, Mariken, Lijsken. [337](/en/stories/mm-another-confession-of-reytse-aysess-made-before-an-arrogant-priest-together-with-an-epistle-or-exhortation-to-the-friend/#FNanchor_337) Beggars, a sobriquet of the Reformed. [338](/en/stories/mm-extract-from-a-writing-by-gerrit-van-bylers-own-hand-handed-to-us-by-his-son-jan-van-byler-written-in-prison-at-london-a/part-2/#FNanchor_338) My hope is in God. [339](/en/stories/mm-two-letters-written-by-these-imprisoned-friends-as-we-have-found-them-in-a-small-old-printed-book/part-3/#FNanchor_339) Thus writes Martin Luther in his preface to the Epistle to the Romans. [340](/en/stories/mm-two-letters-written-by-these-imprisoned-friends-as-we-have-found-them-in-a-small-old-printed-book/part-4/#FNanchor_340) In the preface to the Epistle to the Romans. [341](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-of-the-prisoners-in-which-we-vindicate-ourselves-of-that-which-is-reported-of-us-and-briefly-notice-the-p/#FNanchor_341) In the margin. [342](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-from-raphel-van-den-velde-written-to-his-wife-2/#FNanchor_342) A play upon words, which obtains only in the original, in which the literal expression used, parting letter, has the twofold meaning of farewell letter and bill of divorcement.—Tr. [343](/en/stories/mm-the-first-letter-of-hans-bret-written-on-monday-after-whitsuntide-a-d-1576-at-antwerp-in-prison-to-his-dear-and-beloved/part-3/#FNanchor_343) Lord, Lord. [344](/en/stories/mm-concerning-the-decree-emitted-against-the-anabaptists-in-the-jurisdiction-of-koenigsberg-and-its-cities-and-suburbs-on-p/#FNanchor_344) Derisively, the authors say. [345](/en/stories/mm-michael-vischer-a-d-1587/#FNanchor_345) As distinguished from severing it with one stroke.—Tr. [346](/en/stories/mm-a-statement-how-he-was-examined-by-the-magistrates-and-how-the-pastor-wanted-to-prove-infant-baptism-to-him-and-how-seve/part-2/#FNanchor_346) Strife. [347](/en/stories/mm-another-letter-from-joost-de-tollenaer-to-his-mother/#FNanchor_347) The original has it, Hence Paul calls the bond of love a perfectness.—Tr. [348](/en/stories/mm-of-the-destruction-of-some-tyrants-of-this-last-persecution/part-2/#FNanchor_348) English Edition 2d part page 419. [349](/en/stories/mm-the-decree-349/#FNanchor_349) Let no one take offense at the words of this decree; for we desired to give them unchanged. [350](/en/stories/mm-edict/#FNanchor_350) That which is left out here concerns the religion of the papists; hence we have omitted it. [351](/en/stories/mm-hans-meyli-sr-and-his-sons-wife-about-the-year-1638-351/#FNanchor_351) The exact time, when this occurred, is not mentioned by the writers; but we find, from the circumstances, that it was about the year 1638. [352](/en/stories/mm-hans-meyli-sr-and-his-sons-wife-about-the-year-1638-351/#FNanchor_352) There were with them two preachers (says the Swiss author), who went along with the thief catchers and helped them. [353](/en/stories/mm-hans-van-uticken-a-d-1639/#FNanchor_353) The Swiss author calls this Hans van Uticken by the name of Hans Muller, but we have allowed him to retain the name Hans van Uticken, because he was by descent from Uticken-wage; to distinguish him from Hans Muller who was descended from the Groeningen Bailiwick, and of whom we made previous mention, in the note added to the account concerning Barbara Meylin and three of her fellow-sisters. [354](/en/stories/mm-jacob-egli-a-d-1639/#FNanchor_354) A year and a half, one of the Zurich writers say. [355](/en/stories/mm-ulrich-schneider-with-his-two-sons-in-the-year-1639/#FNanchor_355) Some say, into the convent Othenbach; others, into the dungeon; others, into the prison, etc., but it was evidently at Othenbach a famous prison in Zurich. [356](/en/stories/mm-ulrich-schneider-with-his-two-sons-in-the-year-1639/#FNanchor_356) They sold everything, without restoring the proceeds to the poor, expelled orphans. How will they be able to answer for this in the great day of judgment, when the Lord shall come and inquire what mercy they have shown? Matt. 25. [357](/en/stories/mm-of-a-certain-manifesto-emitted-by-those-of-zurich-a-d-1639-in-excuse-of-the-persecution-raised-and-of-the-answer-which-f/#FNanchor_357) In the word of salvation, etc., it says: In the tract the order of the words is a little different, according to the Swiss style; however, the sense of the same is clearly expressed here. [358](/en/stories/mm-henry-boller-about-a-d-1644/#FNanchor_358) In the last tract he is called Hans Boller, but in the first, Henry, which we have followed in our account. It must also be noticed, that in the Swiss manuscript the time of this occurrence is not expressly noted for the year 1644; but from the circumstances we have inferred, that it took place about said year, as we have also noted. ## Original source [Read this passage on Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/65855/pg65855-images.html#Footnote_315) [Edition details](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/65855) [Previous page: FOOTNOTES:](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-16/) · [Book contents](/en/sources/martyrs-mirror/#book-contents) · [Next page: FOOTNOTES:](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-18/) --- Page: https://history.truechristian.church/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-17/ [Contribute a correction or addition](https://github.com/trueChristian/history.truechristian.church/issues/new?title=Correction%3A+Footnotes%3A+%C2%B7+Page+17+of+18&body=%23%23+Page+or+topic%0AFootnotes%3A+%C2%B7+Page+17+of+18%0A%0APage%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fhistory.truechristian.church%2Fen%2Fstories%2Fmm-footnotes%2Fpart-17%2F%0A%0ARecord%3A+mm-footnotes--b00629-o000000%0A%0A%23%23+Correction+or+addition%0A%0A%0A%0A%23%23+Sources+and+evidence%0APlease+include+book%2Fpage+references%2C+archive+links%2C+or+first-hand+documentation.%0A%0A%0A%0A%23%23+Image+credit+%28if+applicable%29%0ACreator%2C+source%2C+and+permission+or+public-domain+basis.%0A%0A%0A%0ASubmitted+for+review%3B+this+issue+does+not+publish+changes+automatically.)
