Soetgen van den Houte, and Martha, in the Year 1560

At this time a pious woman named Soetgen van den Houte also fell into the hands of the persecutors of the truth, so that after severe assaults and imprisonment she testified to and confirmed the faith of the ever-enduring truth with her death and blood, on the 27th of November, 1560, in the city of Ghent; and with her another woman, named Martha. Soetgen van den Houte also states that her husband had previously likewise trodden the winepress of suffering valiantly, and had fearlessly testified to the truth and given his life for it, as the following testament plainly shows.
