In the year 1554, there was put to death for the
testimony of the truth, at Ghent, in Flanders, a
pious witness of God, named William Van Louvain,
the grandfather of Jan Doom. He did not suffer
for any crime or heresy, but only for the testimony
of the truth, in a good conscience, having renounced
the Babylonian whore, together with her lovers, and
all her false worship, and united himself with Christ,
following him with the whole heart in the regeneration,
and through faith, overcoming this world with
all that is therein, whereby he finally, through
grace, obtained the end of the faith, that is, eternal
salvation, through Christ Jesus.
