Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

Whereas Anneken, Jan Ogiers’ daughter, and
wife of Adriaen Boogaert, porcelain-maker, prisoner,
has confessed without torture and iron bonds, that
about thirteen years ago, she, rejecting the Christian
baptism received by her in her infancy, was rebaptized
at Amsterdam, contrary to our Catholic faith,
and the unity of the holy Roman church, and also
in contempt of the decrees of His Royal Majesty,
our most gracious lord; and what is still worse,
though she has been instructed for the best concerning
807
her error and heresy, she still obstinately
persists therein; therefore, the judges, having heard
the demand made in conclusion by Jacob Foppens,
Bailiff, of this city of Haarlem, in the name of His
Majesty, as Count of Holland, against said prisoner,
that she should be condemned by their sentence, to
be conducted to the scaffold here, and executed
with fire, until death should ensue; and all her
property confiscated for the benefit of His Royal
Majesty, according to the decrees of His Majesty
aforesaid; have, by reason of what has been mentioned,
condemned said Anneken, Jan Ogiers’
daughter, prisoner, and by these presents do condemn
her to be executed with water and drowned
here in the city-hall, until death ensues, and the
body to be buried under the gallows; and declare
all her property forfeited for the benefit of His
Majesty. Thus read from the city-hall, by the
sound of the bell, on the 17th of June, A. D. 1570,
in presence of Jacob Foppens, Bailiff, Mr. Gerrit
van Ravensberge, Mr. Lambrecht van Roosvelt,
Mr. Huge Bol van Zanen, Aelbrecht van Schagen,
Mr. Gijsbrecht van Nesse, Wouter van Rollandt,
and Frans Janss Teyng, judges.

Extracted from the first book of penal sentences
of the city of Haarlem (beginning A. D. 1539, and
concluding the 27th of October, A. D. 1582; preserved
in the archives of the city of Haarlem) and,
after collation, found to accord with it; by me, the
undersigned, secretary of the aforesaid city, the
14th of July, A. D. 1659.

The abovementioned sentence, we obtained, after
much trouble, from the hands of the secretary of
civil and criminal matters, or clerk of the criminal
court of the city of Haarlem, through the instrumentality
of one of our good friends, H. V., just
as the same was read in court at the hour of the
death of the aforesaid woman, and is still at the
present day found in the city records of that place;
from the particulars of which we have written the
account that precedes the sentence.
