Whereas Cecilia, daughter of Jeronymus, of Wormer,
has joined the doctrine, sect and heresies of
the Anabaptists, having been rebaptized, and holding
pernicious views in regard to the sacraments
of the holy church, contrary to the holy Christian
faith, the ordinances of the holy Christian church,
the written laws and decrees of his Imperial Majesty
our gracious lord, and, moreover, obstinately persists
in her errors and heresies, notwithstanding the
instruction which has been given her concerning the
true faith; therefore, my lords the Judges, having
heard the demand made by my lord the Bailiff, in
the name of his Imperial Majesty, concerning said
Cecilia, together with her confession, and having
maturely considered the circumstances of said case,
sentence said Cecilia Jeronymus, pursuant to the
aforesaid decrees, to be burnt by the executioner,
and, furthermore, declare her property confiscated,
for the benefit of his Imperial Majesty, as Count of
Holland. Done and executed as above.

Extracted from the book of criminal sentences, in
the keeping of the secretary of the city of Amsterdam.
