As in the time of Ishmael and Isaac, he that was
born after the flesh persecuted him that was born
after the Spirit (Gal. 4:29), so it still goes in these
latter days. For the ministers of the Roman antichrist
imprisoned at Kortrijck, in Flanders, a godfearing
lamb of Christ named Sijntgen Vercoilgen,
the mother of Jan Vercoilgen, and after many
temptations, she was put to death at said place, in
great steadfastness, for the testimony of Jesus, in the
year 1569, on the 9th of March, having put off her
womanly weakness, and in place of it, by the grace
of God, received through the illumination of the
Holy Spirit in her heart a manly courage; and testified
and sealed the belief of the truth with her
death, and blood, as a memorable example to all
followers of Christ.
