About the year 1573, there were imprisoned for
the testimony of Jesus, at Ghent, in Flanders, Michiel
van Bruyssel and Barberken his wife. Because
they were not of the world, but had by God been
chosen out of the world, therefore the world, which
only loves its own, hated, persecuted and oppressed
them. But they, as wise builders, had built their
foundation upon the corner stone Christ Jesus, who
was able to keep their treasure until the day of their
redemption. Thus they, after manifold temptations
and trials of their faith, were, by the blinded, God-opposing
papists, put to death, not on account of
any evil deed, but only for the obedience of the
truth of Jesus Christ. Michiel van Bruyssel was
burned in the Friday Market, and Barberken his
wife was beheaded with the sword, in the count’s
castle. And thus they remained faithful unto death
to their Redeemer and Savior; hence they shall receive
an eternal and glorious kingdom, and a beautiful
crown, from the hand of the Lord, which no
one shall be able to take away from them.
