Wherefore he, the appearer, promises well and truly to tender and pay to the above named Piter and Hendrick Jansz, or to one of them, the above mentioned one hundred and eighty-six guilders in the city of Amsterdam in Holland, free of costs and charges, without any exceptions. For further security of the above mentioned money the above named Willem Pitersen binds his person and property, movable and immovable, and specially the monthly wages earned by him which are due him by the honorable West India Company, chamber at Amsterdam, submitting to that end to all lords, courts, tribunals and judges. In witness whereof this is signed in the record by Willem Pitersen himself and by Jacob Kip and [ ], as witnesses hereto invited, the 3rd of August anno 1647, in New Amsterdam in New Netherland.
