Source heading; not independently verified

In this year also three other sisters, namely, Betgen,
Neelken, and Mariken Franss, were apprehended
at Antwerp, for living according to their
faith in God, and as they, with a firm confidence, as
those that were born of God, steadfastly contended
for the accepted truth, they were finally sentenced
595
to death and drowned. Thus they had to press
their way through the strait gate, this temporal
death, in order to enter in, and inherit, together
with all the valiant witnesses of God, his eternal and
imperishable kingdom.
