In this year, Brother Hans Huber, or Schumacher,
was imprisoned at Waserburg, in Bavaria,
under the Count of Oting. Much having been resorted
to, to draw him from the faith, but he remaining
quite steadfast, constantly confessing and
testifying, that this wherein he stood was the true
ground of truth, and the true faith in Christ Jesus
our Savior wherefore he also said that it was not
hard for him to suffer this for Christ’s sake, and
was sentenced to death, and led out to the place of
execution. The fire having reached his face, so that
his hair and beard were singed off, they asked him
whether he would recant, and they would let him
live. He however would not recant, but remained
steadfast in Christ. Hence he was immediately
burnt alive, and thus faithfully paid his baptismal
vow unto the Lord Christ, and delivered up his life
as a true burnt-offering for the word of God; for he
would rather lose this temporal life, than become
unfaithful to the Lord, thus showing himself to be a
steadfast lover of God.
