In this year also a brother named Louis,* a minister of Jesus Christ, learned and well versed in the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages, and experienced in the holy Scriptures, was executed with the sword at Constance, on the lake of the same name, after being imprisoned there a long time. At his departure he gave many excellent instructions, so that many were astonished, and were moved to weep with him.
