It continued to be a common custom to let
people die in prison. This appeared also in the
case of a godfearing brother, named Henry Boller,[358](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-17/#Footnote_358)
from the Seignioralty Wadischwyl, a man of very
great age, and very infirm according to the body.

He was apprehended, and taken to the aforementioned
prison Othenbach at Zurich, and there
put in bonds.

But as they treated him most unmercifully and
without the least compassion, his many years and
natural infirmity were not able to bear up under it;
hence, having commended his spirit into the hands
of God, he died there in prison: but he shall be
rewarded for this in the day of resurrection, when
there will be fulfilled what the prophet says: “Thy
dead men (O God!) shall live, together with my
dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye
that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew
of herbs.” Is. 26:19. Compare Tract, Jer. Mang.,
fol. 16, A., with the account of M. Meyli, fol. 6, B.,
though, through a mistake in copying, instead
of Henry, it reads Hans.

Note.—On the 11th of June of the year 1644
there was apprehended an old brother from the
Horgerberg, named Conrad Stricke, who, though
he had been apprehended outside of the Zurich jurisdiction,
was nevertheless imprisoned at Zurich, in
the place Othenbach, and put in chains every
night.

So was also his wife apprehended, and imprisoned
in the same place; however, she, through a
certain means, keeping her faith, escaped again;
but the aforementioned Conrad, her husband, was
not so successful, so that he remained in severe imprisonment
until the close of the year 1645, after
which time we have learned nothing of him or
of his deliverance. See Jer. Mang. Tract, edit. 1645,
on the name Conrad.
