Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

Not long after the above there were also apprehended
at Ghent three brethren and one sister,
namely, Christoffel Buyze, Laurens van Rentergen,
Joost Meerssenier, and Grietgen Baets. These, in
order to follow Christ, gladly took up his cross,
and had to suffer much reproach, temptation, and
pain in the narrow way; but in all this they courageously
persevered, and could in no wise be induced
to apostatize, so that they finally had to lay
down their lives for the name of Christ, and with
him press through the strait gate, in order that they
might take the kingdom of God by force, where
they in the new Jerusalem, shall have him for an
everlasting light, and shall with all those who have
valiantly contended for the truth, live in everlasting
and imperishable joy.
