Source heading; not independently verified

In the year 1562, four brethren, named Pieter
van Maldegem, Pieter van Male, Jacques Bostijn,
and Lauwerens Allaerts, were apprehended at
Ghent, in Flanders, because they no longer sought
to follow the Roman church, but the commandments
of God. When they were examined, they
freely confessed their faith, and valiantly contended
for the truth, with the spiritual sword of the word of
God; and as they in no wise could be moved therefrom,
they were sentenced to death, and had to testify
with their blood to the name of Christ. They
now rest under the altar, and wait until the number
of their brethren be fulfilled, that they may be rewarded,
and vengeance taken on their enemies.
