Jan de Smit, Daniel de Paeu, Daniel van Vooren, and Passchier Weyns, in the Year 1568

In the year 1568, at Ghent, in Flanders, four brothers were also arrested, namely: Jan de Smit, Daniel de Paeu, Daniel van Vooren and Passchier Weyns, who boldly confessed their faith and all the articles about which they were examined. They were not ashamed of God and His Word, but valiantly and fearlessly contended for the truth they had accepted and laid hold of, against all who opposed them, unwaveringly even to death, which they therefore tasted, as valiant soldiers; first, Jan de Smit, and shortly after, the other three. But they obtained to live forever, where the new wine will be given them to drink in the Father's kingdom.
