In the year 1558, a brother named Jacob de
Swarte (son of Jan de Swarte), and Hanscken van
den Broecke, went from Ostende to Bruges, to hear
the preaching of the word of God, and were apprehended
there, together with others. No sufferings
being sufficient to deter or separate them from
the love of God, they were finally sentenced to
death, and thus valiantly ended their lives for the
testimony of the Gospel, about St. John’s day, in
midsummer.
