Whereas Pieter, son of Jans, a native of Lininckhuysen,
Tobias Questinex, citizen of this city,
shoemakers by trade; Jan Pennewaerts of Loenen,
Gijsbert Jans of Woerden, Ellert Jans, also citizen
of this city, tailors, Lucas Michiels of Dortrecht,
glazier by trade, Barbara Thielemaus of Dortrecht,
and Truyken Boens, daughter of William Boens of
Antwerp, have been rebaptized by one Giles of
Aix-la-Chapelle, and have joined the sect and heresy
of the Anabaptists, holding pernicious views with
regards to the sacraments of the holy church, contrary
to the holy Christian faith, the ordinances of
said holy church, and the written laws and decrees
of his Imperial Majesty, our gracious lord; and,
moreover, obstinately persist in their unbelief, errors
and heresies; therefore, my lords the Judges, having
heard the demand made by my lord the Bailiff concerning
said persons, together with their confession,
and having duly considered the circumstances of
said case, condemn said persons to be burnt by
the executioner; and, furthermore, declare all their
property confiscated for the benefit of his Imperial
Majesty, as Count of Holland and our gracious lord,
without prejudice to the privileges of this city. So
pronounced and ordered to be executed, this 20th
day of March, 1549, in the presence of the Bailiff,
Egbert Gabriels and Joost Buyck, Burgomasters,
and all the Judges.

Of these delinquents three were subjected to the
torture, namely, Tobias Questinex, on the 14th of
February, Pieter Jans, on the 15th of the same
month, and Ellert Jans on the 8th of the present
month, March.

Extracted from the book of criminal sentences of
the city of Amsterdam, in the keeping of the secretary
there.
