Wolfgang Brandhuber, Hans Niedermair, and Many Others, in the Year 1529

In this year also Brother Wolfgang Brandhuber of Passau, and Hans Niedermair, both ministers of the Word and Gospel of Christ, were arrested, together with many of the pious at Lintz, in the country above the Enns, for the divine truth; they were condemned to fire, water and the sword, and were executed at once, in all over seventy persons. Among these, Peter Niedermair of Hirschberg was also arrested at Gminden, on Saint Andrew's eve, in the year 1529, and though in the extreme fear of death he was tempted in various ways, he still remained faithful and steadfast. Revelation 2, verse 10; Matthew 10, verse 22. In the end, through the providence of God, he was set free, after having been imprisoned there for over three years.

Concerning this Wolfgang Brandhuber, writings are still in existence in the church, showing how faithfully he taught the Christian church, and that he also said that in everything which is not contrary to God we should be obedient and subject to the authorities, and that he held strictly to the true baptism of Christ, and to the true Lord's Supper, rejecting infant baptism, the sacrament, and other antichristian abominations and anathemas, as is shown by his writings, which are still in existence.
