The misery of persecution continued, so that almost
nowhere liberty could be found for an upright
Christian soul. Herein also those of Haarlem, in
Holland, incurred guilt; which appeared in the year
of our Lord 1570, for then they laid their hands
(which they had previously several times imbrued
in the blood of the saints) on a godfearing woman
named Anneken, the daughter of Jan Ogiers, and
wife of Adriaen Boogaert, who thirteen years previously
had betaken herself from the darkness of popery
to the true light of the Gospel, and, in proof
that she desired to be a disciple of Jesus, had been
baptized upon her faith, leaving and renouncing
the Pope and the Romish church, and, on the
other hand, accepting and confessing Jesus Christ
as the Son of God, and his church (namely, the
cross-bearing church of the Anabaptists) as his beloved
bride, wife and own body, by which she was
then recognized as a member and fellow-sister.

When she in her imprisonment could by no
means be turned from her faith, the rulers of the
city of Haarlem concluded her trial, and, on the
17th of June, A. D. 1570, publicly in court, pronounced
sentence of death upon her, namely, that
she should be drowned and buried under the gallows.
The sentence (excepting the title) reads word
for word as follows:
