The abovementioned Mary Joris also remained
faithful in this trial, and likewise confessed her faith
boldly before the lords, and was ready to surrender
her life, together with her brethren, for the name
of the Lord. But being pregnant, she had to wait
until her delivery; however, the Lord ordered it
otherwise—she died in travail, and was thus released
from the flesh, so that these tyrants could
not fulfill their desire with her. And thus she fell
asleep in the Lord, with her brethren.

If any desire, let him read this account in the old
hymn book, as put into verse by these witnesses
themselves, in prison, as also by the pious Bouwen
Lubberts.
