Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Martyrology the Churches of Christ of Christ, Vol. 2: Commonly Called Baptists From the Era of the Reformation, Translated From the Dutch of T. J. Van Braght The only true faith is that which we maintain. Therefore, O God, have pity on me, and receive me into thine arms." Adriaen Cornelison bravely said, "Christ and his beloved apostles have gone this way before us. We, his servants, must not be above our Lord." They then fell upon their knees and prayed earnestly to God; rising up, they said, "In putting us to death, they think to root out them that fear God; but for every one they slay, a hundred shall arise. Therefore, fear not them which kill the body; but fear him who can cast both body and soul into everlasting torment." As they stood upon the bench, they exclaimed, "Fear not that which is temporal, but that which shall endure for ever; for eternity is long." And committing their souls into the hand of God, they presented their sacrifice unto him. Now their souls rest beneath the altar, and wait the moment when they shall put on their glittering robes, and shall have presented to them new wine before the throne of God. The Belief or Confession of Adriaen Cornelison, made before the magistrates and priests. Together with an account of the manner of his apprehension. Brethren and sisters, beloved from my utmost heart - I must write a little to you, expecting herewith to take my leave of you, and that you may know how it has gone with me in prison. It happened that I came to Leyden, and there speaking with a brother, we wondered how it was that they kept our friends so long; so we agreed that I should go and speak with the sheriff´s officer, whose name is Jan Van Delft. On asking him how it went with the prisoners - if they would not shortly be executed? he said, "I hear nothing at all about it."
