Betgen, Neelken, and Mariken Franss

In this year also three other sisters, namely, Betgen, Neelken, and Mariken Franss, were arrested at Antwerp for living according to their faith in God. And since they, with firm confidence, as those who were born of God, steadfastly contended for the accepted truth, they were finally sentenced to death and drowned. Thus they had to press their way through the strait gate, this temporal death, in order to enter in and inherit, together with all the valiant witnesses of God, His eternal and imperishable kingdom.
