George Gruenwald, in the Year 1530

In the year 1530, Brother George Gruenwald, a shoemaker, and minister of the Word of God, and of His flock, was apprehended for the divine truth, at Kufstein, on the Inn, condemned to death, and burned. So he valiantly testified with his blood what he had confessed and taught with his mouth, and confessed Christ, indeed, His divine truth, before men, forsaking this earthly and perishable praise, so that Christ on His day would confess him before His heavenly Father, and, moreover, give him immortal life in the eternal glory of heaven. Matthew 25, verse 46.
