On the eleventh of February, A. D. 1538, another
pious and faithful brother, named Walter of
Stoelwijk, at Vilvoorden, in Brabant, fell into the
hands of the ravening wolves (Matt. 7:15), and had
to suffer much for the truth, from these envious
papists. But he, as a wise builder, had founded his
house upon the firm and immovable rock, Christ
Jesus; and therefore remained steadfast in all these
great trials, though he had to suffer cruel imprisonment
for three years, and much severe and tyrannous
examining and torturing from these blood-thirsty
men. Finally, on the 24th of March, in the
year 1541, he was sentenced and burned at said
place. Thus he remained faithful to his Lord and
Creator unto death, and steadfastly confirmed with
his death and blood the genuine faith of the truth,
and his unwavering, living hope. He shall therefore,
as an obedient sheep, also hear the voice of the
great Shepherd of the sheep saying to him: “Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world.”
John 10:3; Heb. 13:20; Matt. 25:34.
