In the same year also Brother Nicholas Geyer, a
miller, and deacon, was apprehended for the faith,
at Innspruck, in the earldom of Tyrol. There the
Jesuits and others assailed him in many and various
ways, and, in the examination, dealt with him in a
676cruel and satanical manner; but he did not suffer
himself to be moved from the faith, but steadfastly
persevered as a Christian hero, and having evinced
great constancy, he was condemned to death by
the children of Caiaphas and Pilate. The priests,
like the daughter of Herodias, were determined to
have his head, which they also obtained, for he
was executed with the sword, and then burnt,
thus valiantly gaining the victory in Christ, in the
noble fight of faith, as a true lover of God, whom
no tribulation, torture or vexation could cause to
despair. No water could quench his love, no
sword separate it, no fire consume it; but it was
to him a way of God to eternal life, for through
love to God, we, by his grace, will enter into paradise,
if we do not suffer ourselves to be led
astray from love.
