Dirk Andriess, A. D. 1569

Dirk Andriess, a pious and God fearing brother, was apprehended at Zierickzee, A.D .1569; and as he, in all temptations and sufferings, firmly adhered to the love of Christ, he was finally sentenced to death as a heretic, and thus, in order to follow Christ, who had died a bitter death for him, he also gladly for the Lord's sake delivered up his temporal life to death, to enter with Him into life eternal. Matt. 25:46.
