As the word of God was proclaimed in many
places, and received with great thankfulness by
many, it was also heard, believed and accepted in
Waterlandt, on Krommeniersdijck. It wrought so
effectually, that some were by it drawn away from
their sinful life and dumb idols, and converted to
the true and living God; which, among others, appeared
in the case of Jan Egtwercken, Claes Meliss,
Aecht Meliss, William her husband, Heyne Walings,
Trijn Amkers, Cornelis Luyts, Claes Dirks, Claes
Claess, and Jonker Dirk Gerrits van den Busch.
These together separated from the Pope and his
adherents, and put themselves under the faithful
Shepherd Christ Jesus, inclining their ears to his
heavenly voice, and preparing their bodies for
his service. Rev. 18:4; 2 Cor. 6:17; John 10:4;
15:20. And as Christ predicted the cross and persecution
to his faithful followers, so the above mentioned
persons also richly experienced it; for they
were apprehended and tormented by the bloodthirsty
papists, and, after suffering many assaults,
put to death, all of which they suffered in patience
for the name of Jesus, thus obtaining the crown
of life; and are now waiting for the revelation of Jesus,
their Savior for their full and eternal reward.
