Original historical wording. Source heading; not independently verified Earlier accounts express the book’s perspective on Christian continuity.
Under the aforementioned Count of Steyn (or Witgensteyn) in Germany, though he was called Reformed, the Anabaptists also at this time, had to suffer much persecution for their faith.
A teacher of said faith, named Hemes Nimrich, was apprehended together with several others. “He was led to the gallows,” writes P. J. Twisck, “not knowing but he was to be beheaded; but when he arrived there, he was (as had been done to the preceding persons) led through under the gallows, and severely scourged; the other prisoners were scourged out of the city.” Chron. van den Ondergang, page 1590, col. 2.
