The same year, one Giles 1of Brussels, a Gutler, was burned for the testimony of Jesus. He was detected by the parson of Brussels. After they had kept him prisoner 8. months in Lovan, they sent him to Brussels to be judged: where he comforted divers that were there in prison: among whom also was Franciscus Eucenas. 2He was in prayer so ardent, (kneeling by himself in some secrete place) that he seemed to forget himself: being called to meat, he neither saw, nor heard them that stood by him many times, till he was taken up by the arms. At sundry times he might have escaped, (the doors being left open) but he would not, for bringing the keeper in danger.
