Tanneken van der Meulen, Jaecxken van Hussele, and Jaecxken Teerlings

At Ghent in Flanders also, three sisters were arrested for the faith, namely Tanneken van der Meulen, Jaecxken van Hussele, and Jaecxken Teerlings, who had to leave, for the Lord's sake, five little children, whom she committed to a faithful keeper and Provider, since she had to help her two imprisoned fellow sisters contend for His name. In this all three of them showed such manly courage, even to death, that even the tyrants were amazed at it. They will be still more amazed when they hear the sound of the trumpet, and see that these, with all the children of God, will be taken up into everlasting joy and gladness, while they themselves, standing on the left hand, will have to go into everlasting sorrow, and that the time of repentance will then be utterly taken away from them.
