Hans Seyel, and Hans of Wels, in the Year 1538

In the same year, 1538, on the Wednesday before Christmas, Hans Seyel of Mur, and Hans of Wels, were arrested for the faith and the divine truth, at Sandweid, in Kaernthen. After valiant steadfastness in the faith, they were condemned to death and executed with the sword; so, even to death, boldly testifying with their blood to the way of truth, from which they would not depart as long as their eyes were open, and breath remained in their nostrils.
