In the same year, 1557, there were also apprehended
at Antwerp, five brethren of Christ, named
Jeronymus, Laurens van Guelders, Pieter the miller,
Jacob van Yperes, and Maerten the Walloon, who
trusted so firmly in the promises of God, and were
so fervently united to the love of Christ, that they
were not to be drawn away therefrom by any man,
nay, not even by great promises, severe persecutions,
perilous temptations, or threatenings with the
sword; for which reason all five were beheaded in
prison, for the testimony of their faith, and firm adherence
to the same; and even as they lost their
heads for the truth, so God shall set them as heads
to convict and judge those who judged them.
