Wendelmuta, a Widow in Holland, was martyred 1527. of Christ, who being extremely beloved, had many importuning her to recant, but she would not; and amongst the rest, a certain Noble Matron communing with her, persuaded her to keep silence, and to think silently in her heart what she believed, that she might prolong her days: To whom she said, Ah you know not what you say; it is written Rom. 10. with the heart we believe to Righteousness, and with the tongue we confess to salvation. And thus she remained ⟨p. 194⟩steadfast and firm in her Confession, and was November 20. condemned to be burnt to ashes; which sentence she took mildly and quietly: And being at the place of Execution, a Monk brought her a blind Cross, willing her to kiss it, and worship her God; to whom she said, I worship no wooden God, but only that God which is in Heaven: And so with a merry and joyful countenance, she embraced the Stake, and by an ardent prayer commended her self to the hands of God. Vol. 2. p. 115.
