Willem de Duyck, in the Year 1565

In the year 1565, at Ghent in Flanders, Brother Willem de Duyck, after much tribulation and unwavering steadfastness, being unwilling to apostatize in any way, also had to bear witness with his blood to the name of Christ, and suffer temporal death for it; therefore he too, at the resurrection, with all the children of God, will hear the blessed words: "Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Matthew 25, verse 34. Then he, as one of the righteous, will enter into eternal life.
