Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

In the year 1572, the 4th of December, there
were burned at Ghent in Flanders, in the Friday
Market, for the testimony of Jesus, with balls in
their mouths, a godfearing, pious brother, named
Mattheus Bernaerts, called Mattheus van Lincken,
born at Meenen in Flanders, forty years old, in his
time a minister of the church of God, in the word
of the holy Gospel, and also in the deaconship,
to provide for poor needy members of Christ in
temporal necessities; and a young maiden, named
Dingentgen of Honschoten. These two, together
with Maerten van der Straten, born at Kortrijck
in Flanders, and Adriaen Rogiers, born at Bommel
in Guelderland (who are separately mentioned in
this book), four in all, were together burned in the
same fire, with balls in their mouths, for the true,
indubitable truth, and testified to and confirmed
the true faith with their death and blood in great
constancy. They thus fought a good fight against
the princes and rulers of darkness, the devil and
his adherents, finished their course, kept the faith,
and are expecting now to receive, through grace,
the crown of eternal glory from the hand of the
Lord.
