When he said such things to them, they looked
at each other, as though they wanted to say: “We
do ill with such a confession of Christianity.” They
then began to speak of the Supper, and asked him
what he thought of it. He answered: “I think
much of it, when it is observed as Christ ordained
it; but as you observe it, I do not think anything
of it, and it is also vain to speak much with you
about it.” Then they were silent.

Finally the steward of the country began to speak
in Latin with the court preacher, and when they
had finished speaking, the preacher asked the
brother, if he would leave the country, and not
return into it any more, then they would release
him from prison. The brother replied: “If you
will give me a letter, that where I go, they shall
freely receive me, I will leave your country.” They
said they could not do this. Thereupon he answered:
“Then I can also not leave your country;
but I will remove out of it, and if I return into it,
and do that by which I merit the sword, then
use it.” This pleased them well. Then the steward
of the country again spoke much in Latin to the
preacher, and then said to the brother; “If you
will be pious for yourself, or abide in your belief,
and no more seduce any one, we will release you
yet.” The brother answered: “If I am wrong, use
the sword, for this is your office; but if I am right,
then it is also right for him that hears and learns
something good from me, and according to this
I will govern myself.” Then the preacher said:
“We will not force you to the faith, but we will always
keep you imprisoned, so that you will not
seduce any others.” They then had him brought
back to prison; thus he had to suffer and endure
imprisonment quite innocently, only for his faith
and for the sake of the divine truth; and this for
about nineteen years.
