In the year 1568, a brother named Lucas de Groot,
a native of Ostend, in Flanders, was apprehended
there for the testimony of the truth, and after he
had boldly confessed his faith, and, would unwaveringly
694
adhere to it, he was sentenced to be
strangled and burned; the judges, however, afterwards
changing their mind, Lucas was hanged to
the gallows, in contempt of the believers.
