Een liedtboecxken, tracterende van den offer des Heeren.

1 Pet. 4:15

*It is not for theft or murder
That we must suffer here,
But for the pure Word.
Dirck Jansz came unburdened,
He spoke: Hear my explanation,
Matt. 10:22

Even if all people
Despise us, God does not.
You Lords, think that above
Ps. 94:1

‡There is a Judge everywhere;
Think freely and believe
Isa. 3:12

*That He will also judge one day.
Jude 14

When he now stood to struggle,
†Rom. 8:18

He spoke: ‡This suffering is not great;
‡Matt. 27

‡Christ had to suffer much more,
He who shed His blood for us.
Power and might He shall give us
To suffer for His Name readily.
O Lord, open their eyes as well,
That they may remain standing in the judgment.
He spoke: Hear my beloved,
We suffer for no sect;
You will find no other faith
Now or in eternity that is perfect.
Mark 10:47

*O Lord, have mercy on me,
He spoke with the heart's desire,
Receive me in Your arms,
Me, a poor sinful man.
Adriaen Cornelisz also came along,
He spoke: Pious and well-minded,
This path Christ has walked before.

And His loving, wise Apostles,
Luke 6:40

‡Who are not above their master,
As the Scripture lists.
Then he fell on his knees
And made his prayer in rest.
When he had lain there
With his head upon the earth,
And had been very silent,
He stood up, quite fearless.
They intend to kill him,
He spoke with good words,
But know that where they kill one,
A hundred shall rise again.
Matt. 10:28

†And do not fear them
Who can kill the body,
But fear only Him
Who can destroy soul and body.
Even if we must endure it here,
He spoke, standing on the bench,
Rev. 14:11

But fear that *eternal, eternal duration,
For eternal is so long.
These have come with desires,
And lie now truly
‡Rev. 6:9

‡Under the Altar and rest,
As the Scripture clearly testifies to us.
With clothes that glisten
Are they dressed very beautifully;
Matt. 26:28

*New wine will be poured for them
By the Father in heaven's throne.
They have now suffered.
