The original account
GALLUS SCHNEIDER, A. D. 1640.
Second Part. · AN ACCOUNT OF THOSE WHO SUFFERED IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY,
A very old man named Gallus Schneider, from the Seignioralty Wadischwyl, was also apprehended in the year 1640, brought to Zurich, and there imprisoned in the convent dungeon (Othenbach).
He was kept in irons sixteen weeks, and very harshly treated, until he finally, when his faith had been sufficiently tried, and been found immovable, died in his bonds, having committed his soul unto God, from whom he had received it. Compare Jer. Mang. Tract, fol. 15, B., with Tract, M. Meyli, fol. 7, A., num. 7.
Note.—About this time, an old sister from Horgerberg, named Verena Albi, was also imprisoned, but subsequently, through a certain means, delivered out of bonds, but must still keep herself concealed. Tract, Mang., and Meyli.
