When she came out and went forth to death, she
said to the people: “Go, buy Testaments, and read
therein, that you may find why I am sentenced to
death, and have to die.” Thereupon the executioner,
greatly incensed, and threatening to strike
her, told her to be silent, and without saying much
917
more she went into the hut, where the executioner
hastened his work, and commending her spirit into
the hands of God, she was burned, on the eve of
Epiphany 1573, and prepared herself to go forth
with the wise virgins, to meet the bridegroom.

The burgomaster, or president of the court, at
Meenen, named Jan de Drijver, who had pronounced
the sentence on Pierijntgen, was afterwards
severely punished of God; his flesh decayed, so that
in consequence of it one ear dropped from his head,
and he died a most miserable death.
