Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Ar[ ent Corssen ] of Amsterdam, aged about 30 years, who at the request of Laurens Cornelissen attests, testifies and declares, in place and with promise of an oath if need be and thereto requested, that it is true that the supercargo, named Cornelis Groesz, divers times told the deponent at the Texel, in England, and on the voyage thence, that the pilot[1] of Laurens Cornelisz had treated him, the supercargo, ill. Also that he, the supercargo, said: "Before I will go again with the pilot, I had rather go ashore from the ship than to be so ill-treated as I have been by the pilot; unless some change for the better take place." Done the 1st of July A°. 1644, in New Netherland.

Arent Corssen
