Source heading; not independently verified

In the year 1557, on Pentecost eve, there was
burnt alive, at Antwerp, in Brabant, for the immovable
foundation of the truth, and the testimony
of Jesus Christ, Janneken Walraven, the mother of
Jacques Walraven, who was a minister of the word
at Amsterdam, among the Baptists, and, consequently,
well known to many. His mother, though
one of the weaker vessels, 1 Pet. 3:7, was nevertheless
not weak in faith, but valiant and steadfast,
and fought the good fight of faith, and gained the
victory, through the grace of God, who never forsakes
his own, but succors them, and goes with
them through water and fire, lest they should suffer
detriment to the salvation of their souls. Therefore,
since she conquered with her bridegroom, by suffering
and dying for his holy name, her immortal soul
is under the altar with all the holy martyrs, and is
patiently waiting for full salvation at the coming of
her Bridegroom, when he shall appear in the clouds
of the sky, to unite and glorify body and soul, and
to make them like unto his own glorious body, that
she may rejoice with him forever.
