¶Leonard Keyser.
Here also is not to be passed over the marvellous constancy of M. Leonard Keyser of the country of Bavaria,1 who was burned for the Gospel. This Keyser was of the town of Rawbe .4. miles from Passaw, of a famous house. This man being at his study in Wittenberg, was sent for by his brethren which certified him, that if ever he would see his father alive, he should come with speed: which thing he did. He was scarcely come thither, when as by the commandment of the Bishop of Passawe, he was taken by his mother & his brethren. The Articles which he was accused of, for the which also he was most cruelly put to death, & shed his blood for the testimony of the truth were these.
