In this year 1591, on the nineteenth day of August,
the brother Jacob Platser, a lock-smith, was
apprehended at Silgen, in the Pusterthal, in the
earldom of Tyrol, and remained in bonds and imprisonment
about eight weeks, until the fifteenth
day of October. When they could not accomplish
their purposes with him, and he would in no wise
renounce that which God had made known to him,
nor depart from the truth, he was, in pursuance
with the imperial mandate, sentenced to the sword.
He was then led out to the place of execution, where
he offered up his prayer to God, in which he was
of good cheer, to die for the sake of his truth and
the faith. The executioner then beheaded him, and
afterwards buried him. Thus he testified valiantly
unto death, to the word of God and the true faith,
to which God gave him his grace and power.
