Verena Landis, in the Year 1643

An old sister named Verena Landis was surprised at night in her own house, with dreadful raging and storming; she was so frightened by it that she fainted, indeed, became sick, and so could not go with the thief catchers.

When they could not get her away, she had to promise to remain a prisoner in her house, and she kept that promise.

But because they treated her very harshly, and gave her very bad food, certain death followed a short time afterward, and so she departed this life with a joyful hope and cheerful heart; for which the Lord hereafter, because it was done for His name's sake, shall crown her with the life of bliss, and deliver her from eternal death. "There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21, verse 4. Jer. Mang., Tract, folio 15, B., compared with Tract, M. Meyli, folio 8, A.
