Martyrs Mirror 291ALBANUS, A PIOUS TEACHER AT MENTZ, WITH OTHERS, MARTYRED FOR THE FAITH, A. D. 424

In A. D. 424, eleven years after the Emperors Honorius and Theodosius had issued their bloody edict against the so called Anabaptists, a pious teacher, who, intending to spread abroad the name of Jesus Christ, and promulgate the doctrines of the holy Gospel, had come to Mentz, was lamentably slain; as were also some others. Besides other authors, P. J. Twisck describes this, with these words: "When Albanus preached Christ at Mentz, he was martyred, together with others." Chron., 5th book, page 149, col. 2, from Hist. Andr. 143.
