[several lines lost] payment [ ] but that the plaintiff [ ]

The director general and councilors, having heard the parties, order the defendant to pay his promissory note within three times 24 hours. By default thereof the plaintiff will be allowed to have the horse from which the debt arises sold at public auction to the highest bidder. And if it will bring less than the value of the promissory note, the defendant is ordered to adjust the surplus immediately and pay it to the plaintiff. The defendant is condemned to pay the legal costs of this case. Thus done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, dated as above.
