George Zaunringerad, in the Year 1531

In the year 1531, Brother George Zaunringerad, a minister of the Word of God, who had been placed in the ministry of the Word of God through the help of Jacob Huter, in the earldom of Tyrol, was sent by Jacob, with others, here to the church in Moravia. Afterward, because of his office and ministry, he was kept in Franconia, where he was executed with the sword, not far from Bamberg, for the divine truth. So he testified with his blood to his faith and doctrine, from which he would in no way depart, and suffered with Christ, so that through His grace he might also be made an heir of glory with Him in the eternal kingdom. First Corinthians 1, verse 5.
