In the same year there were also apprehended at
Ghent three sisters, namely Vijntgen, Goudeken,
and Janneken de Jonkheer, and two others, namely,
Betgen van Maldegem, and Sijntgen van Gelder.
All five freely confessed their faith, and undauntedly
adhered to it unto death—which they had to suffer
for it—and firmly clung to the love of their bridegroom
Jesus Christ. Hence they shall also, when
the cry is made at midnight, go to meet him with
their burning lamps, and with oil in their adorned
vessels, and shall, as ready virgins, go in with him
to the marriage of the Lamb.
