“They strip him naked, tie him to a tree, and beat him so brutally with whips that the peasants working nearby flee the fields… They tie his legs and attach them to two horses, which drag him to the village…

The Cossacks who arrested him wanted to do something original and came up with the following: they carved priestly symbols into his body. They grabbed him by one leg and dragged him to an empty slaughterhouse. They laid him on a table and locked the doors. They found firebrands used for singeing slaughtered piglets, hung him up by his legs, and singed his entire body…

“They sprinkled his wounds with spelt chaff, cut off his nose and lips, pulled his tongue out through an opening cut in the back of his neck and severed it at the root, and finally hung him from the ceiling by his legs, upside down, and mocked his body.”
