Translation

Received the petition of Abraham Pieterse, soldier, in which he shows that he was contracted only for the southern journey[i] after which he would be free again. He now requests a passport or an increase of two guilders per month. When hereupon it was brought to the attention that the aforesaid person does not comport himself well, but committed various bad things, yes, in such a way that even some soldiers complained about him; it is resolved: fiat settling of accounts, and the petitioner is ordered to depart from this province at the first opportunity. Dated as above.
