Willem van Haverbeke, in the Year 1558

William van Haverbeke also not only suffered persecution for the name of the Lord, but also let himself be arrested and led before lords and princes, where he freely confessed his faith and steadfastly continued in it. No amount of suffering, pain or torment was enough to make him apostatize, so great was the love of God poured out in his heart; therefore he was finally condemned, and confirmed his faith with his death, at Kortrijck, in Flanders, in the year 1558.
