Source heading; not independently verified

In the year 1537, there was at Cassel, in Flanders,
a Godfearing pious brother, whose name was Philip
Keurs, a joiner by trade. And since he had also
separated from this present wicked world, and had
entered upon the peculiar way of the cross, which
leads to the kingdom of God, he, like his Lord and
Master, Jesus, was hated, despised and persecuted
by the servants of this world, so that he finally fell
into the hands of tyrants, who cruelly maltreated
him with severe imprisonment. But as he was not
founded upon drifting sand, but upon the immovable
Rock (Matt. 7:24,26; 16:18), he remained
steadfast in every respect, as gold which is tried in
the fire, 1 Peter 1:7. And since nothing could
move him to swerve from the truth, he was sentenced
to death at said place; in this manner confirming
the faith of the truth with his death and
blood. And as he here became a partaker of the
sufferings of his Lord and Master Christ Jesus, so
he shall also, when his glory shall be revealed, receive
and enjoy great gladness and joy, and in
eternity the crown of everlasting glory. 2 Tim. 4:8.
