Adriaen den Burry, in the Year 1565

After many persecutions and fearful tyranny against the flock of Christ, a faithful brother named Adriaen den Burry was also arrested, in the year 1565, at Oudenaerde, in Flanders. After undergoing and enduring many temptations, and severe conflicts against the devil and his tools, he was burned at that place, in the year 1565, and he testified to and confirmed the upright and genuine faith of the truth with his death and blood, to the true conviction of all bloodthirsty tyrants and persecutors, and of all carnal men who seek to walk the broad way to eternal damnation according to the lusts of their flesh, and to the comfort and strengthening of all true believers, that they might follow this friend of God in true obedience, even as he followed Christ. Therefore his name is written in the book of life, and is worthy to be recorded in this book, for long remembrance.
