We did not spare the pains, to have looked up,
through the mediation of certain of our good
friends at Breda, in the present archives of the year
1659, by the clerk of the recorder there, every
thing that might be noted, and could be found as
recorded by the papistic rulers, of the year 1572,
concerning the imprisonment, sufferings and death
of the aforementioned pious witnesses of Jesus
Christ. But soon after search for it had begun to be
made, information was received that the archives
where these and similar documents had been preserved
was destroyed and laid in ruins by a terrible
conflagration a few years ago; for which reason
nothing could be brought to light in regard to the
matter, except the particular reminiscences of old
writers, from which the above is recorded. This by
way of notice.
