About this time, writes P. J. Twisck, the instruments
of the devil could not invent punishments
severe enough, but what they considered the Christians
worthy of. For they were watched in their
houses as well as without; men cried out against
them in all public places; they were scourged,
stoned, and dragged about; their goods were plundered;
they were apprehended; red-hot iron plates
were applied to their bare bodies; they were placed
in a certain instrument made to torture malefactors;
they were put into the deepest and darkest places
of the prisons, where they were slain, yea, they were
afflicted with excruciating torments. P. J. Twisck,
Chron., 2d book, for the year 130, page 39, col. 2,
and page 40, col. 1, from Jan Crespin in den staet
der Kerken.
