Karel van den Velde, with Proentgen his Wife

In the year 1562, seven persons were arrested at Honschote in Flanders for the testimony of the truth, namely, Karel van den Velde, of Ghent, with Proentgen his wife, Franchoys de Swarte, of Belle, with Klaesken his wife, Jasper the shoemaker, Charlo, a lad, and Martijntgen Amare, a young maiden, all of whom steadfastly held to the truth and the Word of God. Five of them, namely, the four male persons and the girl, were burned for their faith very soon after their arrest; but the two women, who were sisters, were secretly drowned in a tub some time afterwards. One of the women, when she saw that they intended to put her to death in secret, complained of it, since she would rather have testified publicly to the truth by her death; whereupon her sister said: "It is all the same, for God sees it; He will reward us, and avenge our wrongs." Second Chronicles 16, verse 9; Revelation 6, verse 10.

So they all passed through the conflict as valiant heroes, and obtained leave to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Revelation 2, verse 7.
