Translation

The lord fiscal de Sille requests that Geesje, currently imprisoned, may be examined more closely before the lords councilors because Laurens Duijts confessed and admitted that he had sexual intercourse with her several times, which so far she stubbornly denies. Having taken the request in consideration, it is consented to and it will happen before the honorable lord Tonneman. Dated as above.
