Whether this decree by those of Groningen and
Sneeck caused any serious oppression, then or
about that time, by way of banishment or the like,
to those baptized according to Christ’s ordinance,
we have not been able to learn; but that they afterwards
in those places proceeded much more severely
than the decree justified, by hard imprisonment,
etc., against those people, we have found
only too much to have been the case; however to
the great good and happiness of those who suffered
1044
this for the testimony of the Lord and his holy
truth.

Moreover, said year did not end without the
shedding of blood of the saints, and the spoiling of
their goods, in the parts of Witgensteyn, as will appear
from the following account.
