In the year 1553, a godfearing brother, named
Wouter Capelle, was apprehended at Diexmuyde,
in Flanders, for living according to and following
the word of God, and confessed and sealed the faith
of the truth with his death and blood at said place;
as an instructive example worthy of imitation to all
true believers, to look at his end, and to follow their
faith, especially the Captain of the faith, Christ Jesus,
blessed for ever. And since this witness of God suffered
for the truth and testimony of the word of
God, and not for any crime, he obtained, through
the grace of God, the crown of eternal life, promised
by God to all those put to death by men for the
word of God: that they shall be raised up in great
glory at the last day.
