On the same day that Stephen Zehender was apprehended
at Knonow, namely, the 23d of September,
of the year 1639, they also seized, in the
1056
Seignoralty Wadischwyl, Ulrich Schneider, who
was likewise (for his true faith, and because he
would not go to the common church with his adversaries)
bound and brought into the dungeon
Othenbach.[355](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-17/#Footnote_355)

But when he had persevered here for a long time,
lain in irons, and suffered exceeding much temptation,
adversity and conflict (inflicted upon him, to
make him apostatize), and, moreover, been stripped
in his bonds, his bodily strength left him, and having
committed his spirit unto God; he died in prison,
thereby triumphing valiantly and courageously in
the conflict set before him, without having weakened
in his faith.

After the death of their father, his two sons were
also apprehended, and imprisoned in the same place
where their father had died; but the Lord granted
them deliverance, so that they, when it was least
expected, with a good conscience, through a certain
means, unknown to the authorities, obtained their
freedom.

In the meantime the authorities broke up this
whole family, drove the remaining children among
strangers, and sold the house and homestead, realizing
therefrom 7000 guilders, which they kept for
themselves, but the cast out and forsaken ones joyfully
bore the spoiling of their goods.[356](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-17/#Footnote_356) Tract,
Jer. Mang., fol. 11.
