On the 13th of January, A. D. 1589, at ten
o’clock in the night, there were apprehended at
Ghent, in Flanders, for the practice of the truth
and following Christ, two brethren and one sister,
namely, Joost de Tollenaer, Michiel Buyse, and
Sijntgen Wens; who, after much temptation and
torment (in which they constantly remained steadfast),
were finally publicly sentenced to death as
heretics, but secretly, with locked doors, in the
count’s castle, strangled at the stake, after which
the two brethren were suspended from the gallows
without, and the woman buried under it, which
happened on the 13th of April of the aforesaid year
1589.

And as several letters of Joost de Tollenaer have
come to our hands, we have added them here, for
the benefit of the reader.
