Translation

At the session, the director general and councilors considering the weakness of their board after the lord general and the honorable Sille have left for the South River, as it is their intention to do, with God’s help, it has been resolved and deemed advisable that in grave matters the lord councilor Lamontagne and the lord fiscal Tienhoven are to add to their body the lord Allard Antony, burgomaster of this city and the lord Martin Criegier, old burgomaster, and the first captain of the militia here. Ady ut supra.

Done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, 31 August 1655.[1]
