He, Roelant Hackwaert, came next day to Jan van Ditmersen’s and said: “Do not sole my shoe with that leather; were it under it, I should cut it off.” Laurens Duyts, who came into the house, said: “That is my leather.” Jan van Ditmersen asked Roelant Hackw[ aert: “How ] came you by it?” He said: “I have stolen it.” Done the [ ] of November anno 1643.
