Translation

Egbert van Borsum, aged about 30 years, at the request of Catelyn Trico, attests, testifies and declares, in place and with promise of a solemn oath if necessary and required, that Catelyn came to the house of Master Hans[1] and asked Master Pauwel:[2] “Why do you beat my daughter?” He, Pauwel, answered: “You lie.” She replied: “You lie like a villain and a dog.” She, Catelyn, raising her hand, Master Pauwel struck Catelyn and then called her a whore and a wampum thief, which she called people to witness.
