This Jacques Mesdagh was apprehended (with
three others, as he writes,) on the 1st of March,
1566, and was afterwards, on the 8th of November,
1567, burnt with three others, for the word
of God, at Kortrijck, in Flanders, in the market
place before the city hall, having been confined,
with iron fetters on his feet, for more than twenty
months. He was from Capelle te Poele, a league
and a half from Ypres. With him died a young
single man, named Willem Aerts, and two other
men, one of whom was Joos Kasteel, from the
vicinity of Kortrijck, and the name of the other
was Karel. All four were of very good cheer and
valiantly testified to the truth, and confirmed it
with their death.
