Gallus Schneider, in the Year 1640

A very old man named Gallus Schneider, from the Seignioralty Wadischwyl, was also arrested in the year 1640, brought to Zurich, and there imprisoned in the convent dungeon (Othenbach).

He was kept in irons for sixteen weeks, and treated very harshly, until at last, when his faith had been sufficiently tried and found immovable, he died in his bonds, having committed his soul to God, from whom he had received it. Compare Jer. Mang. Tract, folio 15, B. with Tract, M. Meyli, folio 7, A., number 7.

NOTE. About this time an old sister from Horgerberg, named Verena Albi, was also imprisoned, but afterward, through a certain means, delivered out of bonds, but she still had to keep herself concealed. Tract, Mang., and Meyli.
