One of the last brethren whom they executed in
the town of Creitze, was Philip of Langenlonsheim.
When the executioner struck off his head, something
flew into his face, so that he put up his hands
to it, which was well noticed by the people; however,
they knew not what it was, or why he did it.
Then the saying went abroad that something like a
black hen had fluttered before his face, so that he
defended himself with his hands; some said that the
blood had squirted into his face; and though he
himself knew best what it was, it was nevertheless
seen afterwards, what it must have been: for the
executioner’s nose dropped off close to his face.
Thus God punished and visited him, because of the
innocent blood, with which he had stained his
hands to so large an extent (Prov. 6:17); and God
openly and palpably made known thereby, how
greatly they oppressed the pious. The Palsgrave
also was terrified and troubled in various ways, so
that afterwards he had no longer a desire to wash
his hands in innocent blood, and would have given
much, if it had never taken place.
