Een liedtboecxken, tracterende van den offer des Heeren.

The two ladies of Beckom, named Mary van Beckom and Viselte, who were burned for God's word in the year 1544, in November.

When one first sang this little song
That was on Palm Day.
Although we hear such a sound,
Let us not despair.
O Father, help us out of need,
Your children, small and great,
Through Christ our Lord.

Mat. 26.e.46

Sorrow I want now to let stand,
And sing with joy
Of Mary van Beckom I have begun,
And Viselte, who had to suffer for God's word.
Her mother drove them out of the house,
It came into the Sticht of Utrecht
region of Utrecht
announced.
The Stadtholder went to hunt them;
Thus has he sent after them.
Gosen van Raesvelt came walking

Acto. 21.b.13.

To capture these young ladies.
*With many men, armed and prepared
And adorned with great pomp.
At Beckom's house where Mary was,
She had to get up from the bed very quickly
And travel away with Raesvelt.
*She was prepared without fear.

She, seeing there many a subtle man,
Spoke to her brother's wife:
Will you travel along now at this time,
And keep me company?

Viselte answered her freely:
I will gladly travel with you,
If Jan van Beckom will suffer it;

Phil. 4.a.4.

We want to rejoice in the Lord.
When Mary requested that of her brother,
He gave consent in this;
Thus has Viselte, the worthy woman,
Shown loyalty to her sister.
Here was the love in the heart great,

Cant. 8.a.6.

*Stronger than bitter death,
Yes, firmer than Hell,
O lovely to tell.

Her mother had come to them,
From Friesland, situated very far,
With her sisters at that moment;
This could not move her.
She has taken her farewell,
From her mother without hesitation;

Heb. 11.e.25.

†She chose to suffer discomfort
And went with her sister into the battle.

They are led to Deventer heavily,
Before the blind Sophists,
Man's decree, according to their nature,
They fought with them with tricks.
We hold to God's word with diligence,
We do not heed man's decree,
Because through it (without fail)
The entire world wanders.

Brother "Gruyvel" likely a derogatory nickname for a prosecutor is also brought there by them,
He wanted to teach many things.
