Source heading; not independently verified

Burckhardt Aman was a godfearing brother, who
lived on the lake of Zurich. He was from there
taken to Zurich, and imprisoned in Othenbach.
But when his imprisonment had lasted about a year
and a half, he, through a certain accident, unexpectedly
was released, unknown to the authorities,
keeping the faith in a good conscience.

But as in his bonds he had been maltreated very
unmercifully and miserably, through many hardships
and afflictions that he had suffered, not the
least true Christian love or assistance having been
shown him, it was impossible for him to live long;
and he fell into a lingering sickness, and ultimately
died, and was thus numbered among the dead in
Christ, who have suffered and fought for his name’s
sake. Jer. Mang. Tract for the year 1645, fol. 20, A.

Note.—About this time also two sisters, honorable
women, were apprehended on the Lake of Zurich;
who, after they had endured the trial of the
faith, were released and delivered from their bonds.
See Tract, Script., A. D. 1645.
