Source heading; not independently verified

In the year 1562, a man named Jan Grendel,
from Kortrijck, in Flanders, came from Oudewater
to Goes, and was the same evening on which he
arrived in town apprehended by bailiff Vijtwijck,
638
who, upon having taken him to his house, interrogated
him concerning his faith, of which he
made open confession, whereupon he was put in
prison, where he lay for about a year. Bailiff Vijtwijck
having, for maladministration, been deposed
from his bailiwick, another named Floris Schaeck,
stepped into this office, and under the latter, Jan,
after many solicitations and sufferings, was publicly
burnt, or put to death, in the market place, for his
faith, in Lent of the year 1562.
