In the year 1527, there was also a faithful brother
(Rev. 2:10), named John Walen, residing in Waterlandt,
on Crommenies Dijck, and with him two
of his fellow brethren. These three were together
brought prisoners, for the testimony of Jesus (Revelations
2:13; 20:4), by the blood-thirsty papists,
to Haarlem, and after a little while they were sent
from there to Gravenhage, where they were examined
very severely; yet, through the power of the
Most High (Eph. 6:10; Acts 1:8), with which they
409
were endued, they patiently endured it; thus valiantly
overcoming by faith all their inquisitors and
tormenters, together with the world and all visible
things. 1 John 5:4. On this account the rulers of
darkness (Eph. 6:12), at said place sentenced them
to the following inhuman and tyrannous death:
They were chained to stakes, and a fire built around
them, and thus they were slowly roasted, until the
marrow was seen to trickle down from their thighbones;
thus being burned and roasted till death
came to their relief. After their death the garments
on the upper part of their bodies were taken off
piece by piece, the color of the cloth still being recognizable.
And as they suffered all this for the
name of Jesus and the word of God, and not on
account of any misdeed committed, but only in
order to testify to and confess the firm foundation
of the truth before this false and adulterous generation,
the Son of God shall hereafter, when coming
in his glory, not be ashamed of them, but confess
them before his Father and his chosen angels, and
crown them with everlasting glory in heaven. Revelations
20:4; 1 Pet. 4:14,15; Mark 12:39; Luke
9:26; 2 Tim. 4:8.
