Source heading; not independently verified

In the year 1557, there were drowned in prison,
at Antwerp, three women, namely, Margriete, wife
of the aforementioned Jeronymus, and Klaerken
and Janneken of Dextelaer, because they steadfastly
adhered to the truth, and would not depart
from it. After being drowned, they were ignominiously
thrown naked into the Scheldt; but they shall
be clothed, and enter in honor, with their bridegroom,
to the marriage of the Lamb, where they,
together with all the chosen of God, shall joyfully
sing the new song, and live in eternal, imperishable
joy.
