Source heading; not independently verified

Palmken Palmen was a resident of Borren, near
the bailiwick of Millen, and was very zealous to live
in the truth of the holy Gospel, and to follow Christ
his Lord in obedience, whom he had put on when
he was baptized upon his faith. But as the light is
hated by darkness, and there was at this time a
severe persecution in the country, by certain bloodthirsty
authorities, instigated by the priests there,
this good man was often in great distress, and was
finally imprisoned, in which imprisonment he suffered
much reproach and many assaults; and as he
immovably kept his faith in every fear and distress,
he was finally sentenced to be burned to ashes,
which sentence, as appeared, he received with gladness;
for, when he was taken away from the house
at Borren, he joyfully kept singing a hymn until
the last moment, that is, as long as he had breath,
while he was standing at the stake at which he was
burned to ashes; which took place between Sittert
and Limmerich, in the open field, where a gravestone
still marks the place where he is said to have
died.
