Source heading; not independently verified

There were two special friends, John and Paul,
who opposed war and bloodshed. They were called
to war, and urged to engage in it, but as they
would not consent to it, they were therefore, as
well as because of their true Christian confession,
put to death as heretics. Concerning this, different
authors write thus: “John and Paul had to die,
because they would not engage in warfare, but replied
to the Apostate: ‘We are Christians; it is not
lawful for us to engage in war.’ ” In Grondelijke
Verklaringe Danielis, en Johannis Openbaringe,
printed at Harlem, A. D. 1635, page 56, from
various other authors.
