Dirk Pieters Krood, Pieter Trijnes, Claes Roders, Pieter Claes Jans, of Wormer

The Word of God had, according to His will, been proclaimed in many and various countries, and attested and confirmed by the blood of many Christians. It also came to and was accepted at Wormer, in North Holland, where, among others, there were Dirk Pieters Krood, Pieter Trijnes, Claes Roders, Pieter Claes Jans. These turned their ears away from the papistic fables, amended their corrupt life, and in its place, through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, willingly received the Word of God into their hearts, and regulated their whole conduct according to it. First Thessalonians 2, verse 13. And just as Christ predicted: "The time is coming, when whoever kills you will think that he does God service" (John 16, verse 2), so it was also very clearly shown in the case of the persons named above; for because they lived according to the Word of God, they were brought as prisoners to Enchuysen, and being built upon Christ, they all remained steadfast and faithful through all this trial and severe temptation. For this reason they were sentenced to death in that place, and offered up their bodies as a sweet savor to the Lord, thus obtaining a glorious crown.

As for this offering, we have not been able to determine the year in which it took place.
