Translation

Whereas the director general and councilors have been credibly informed and told that the aforesaid William Wickendam is a very poor man with a wife and several children and a cobbler by trade, to which he does not properly attend, so that nothing can be obtained from him.93

Therefore, the director general and councilors have remitted the aforesaid fine of ƒ600 to which he is condemned (as appears above) and allowed him to depart from here, on condition that if he is caught here again, he must pay it. The 11th of November anno 1656.
