Original wording, with book contents, page navigation, and linked notes. Source heading; not independently verified

In the year 1564 there was apprehended at Ghent in Flanders, for the truth, a brother named Steven de Graet, with Sijntgen, his aged mother. They were both well confirmed in the faith, and continued in it amidst all solicitations and sufferings, even unto death, which they, for the name of Christ, had to suffer publicly; hence they shall also openly praise the Lord, in the throne of heaven, and help sing the glad new song, in honor of the Lamb, and of him that sitteth upon the throne. Rev. 14:3.
