In said year there was also apprehended at Antwerp,
a young maiden from Ghent, named Tanneken
van der Leyen, who loved God and his truth
more than all that was in the world; hence, since
she preferred the doctrine of Christ and his apostles
to all human doctrine, and immovably adhered
to it, she was condemned to death, and drowned
in the Scheldt.
