Adriaen van Hee, Joos Meeuwens, Willem, Goossen and Egbert de Hoedemaecker, in the Year 1558

As the Jews in the time of the apostles envied the assemblies of the Christians, and disturbed them wherever they could, so their successors, the ministers of antichrist, have also done everywhere. This appeared also in the year 1558, near Doornick, where some Christians and faithful children of God had gathered, in order to be refreshed, built up and bettered by the preaching of the Word of God. They were also spied out, dispersed, partly scattered, and six of them were seized, namely, Adriaen van Hee, a cutler, Joos Meeuwens, Willem de Hoedemaecker, Goossen de Hoedemaecker, Egbert de Hoedemaecker, and Lambert van Doornick. They were brought together to Doornick, and after being imprisoned there two weeks, they were condemned to death for their steadfast adherence to the true faith in God, and were taken outside Doornick, into a forest that belonged under the jurisdiction of Hainault, and there burned, as pious witnesses of God, who shall not taste the fire of hell, but shall live in joy with all the chosen of the Lord.
