About the year 1533 there was another pious
hero and follower of Jesus, named Sicke Snyder,
who, according to the counsel of the Holy Ghost,
separated from the Babylonian whore, and all her
false, self-invented, imaginary worship, which was
426
all contrary to God, and accepted Christ Jesus;
seeking to follow the unblamable footsteps of this
true Lawgiver (James 4:12), and to hear only his
voice as contained in the holy Scriptures. John
10:4. Therefore he obediently submitted to the
example and ordinance of Christ, and in accordance
with the doctrines of his word received Christian
baptism upon his faith, as the sign of a regenerated
child of God, seeking thus to live and walk in obedience
toward his Creator. For this reason he was
put into bonds and in prison at Leeuwærden, in
Friesland, and had to suffer much from the enemies
of the truth. 1 Tim. 6:20. And as he could by no
tortures be induced to apostatize, he was executed
with the sword at said place, enduring it with great
steadfastness; thus attesting and confirming the true
faith with his death and blood. Rev. 2:13; 20:4.
Hence he shall, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ,
together with all true conquerors, be clothed in
white, shining raiment, and inherit the blessing.
2 Tim. 2:3; Rev. 3:5; 1 Pet. 3:9.
