Translation

Harman Meyndersen vanden Bogaert, commissary, testifies at the request of the Hon. General Petrus Stuyvesant that some time ago, the precise day he does not know, Fiscal van Dyc came into Marten Crigier’s tavern saying to the deponent: “What the devil are you doing here? Betake yourself immediately up the river; I order you to do so.” He, Harman Meyndersz, answered he had nothing to do with the fiscal’s order and could not depart until the honorable general gave orders. Which he declares to be true and truthful, offering to confirm this on oath. This day, the 23rd of July 1647.
