Christoffel Buyze, Laurens van Rentergen, Joost Meerssenier

Not long after the above, three brothers and one sister were also arrested at Ghent, namely, Christoffel Buyze, Laurens van Rentergen, Joost Meerssenier, and Grietgen Baets. In order to follow Christ, these gladly took up His cross, and had to suffer much reproach, temptation, and pain in the narrow way; but through all of it they courageously persevered, and could by no means be induced to apostatize, so that they finally had to lay down their lives for the name of Christ, and with Him press through the strait gate, in order that they might take the kingdom of God by force, where they, in the new Jerusalem, shall have Him for an everlasting light, and shall live with all those who have valiantly contended for the truth, in everlasting and imperishable joy.
