Among the Barons was Wenzel Petipesky, a member of the Brethren's Church. He was to be the first to die. As he was led from his cell by the executioner, he called out in a loud voice, which could be heard far and wide: "My dear Brethren, we go happy in the name of the Lord, for we go in the narrow way."
He walked to the scaffold with his hands bound before him, and two boys played his dead march on drums. As he reached the scaffold the drums ceased, and the executioner announced that the prisoner was dying because he had tried to dethrone King Ferdinand and put another King in his place. "That," said Petipesky, "was never the case."
"Never mind, my Lord," roared the executioner, "it will not help you now." "My God," said Petipesky, "I leave all to Thee;" and his head rolled on the ground. But the worst was still to come.
