After that this sedition of the Peasants was partly appeased (their armour being laid away) and they taken unto grace: after that also divers of the principals of that conspiracy were taken here and there in the villages, and executed: this good pastor fearing no such thing, for the true and sincere preaching of the Gospel, whereat many took great indignation, was taken in the night by certain soldiers, which bound him hand and foot, with a great rope before his wife and children, and so set him upon a horse,1 and led him away to Friburge. What grievous sighs, tears, sorrow, and lamentation was there?

Such beastly Tyrants the world is never without. Such Godly ministers we have had but a few.
