Translation

Received the statement and petition of Abel Dircx van Bremen, soldier, in which he shows that in the fatherland he was hired to sail out and home again with the ship the Waagh, but that upon the promise of increase he, together with others, stayed here. And as his contracted time had expired for a long time now, he requested that instead of eight, he might be given ten guilders per month.

The request taken into consideration, it is resolved: fiat an increase of two guilders per month from now on. Dated as above.
