Maerten Karettier, in the Year 1570

Maerten Karettier of Busbeke, who also would rather suffer affliction with the children of God than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season and live in joy with the world, was arrested for his faith at Rijssel. There he made a good confession of it and showed great steadfastness, and therefore he finally, as a valiant witness of God, had to taste death.
