Received the petition of [ Willem Pietersz ] de Groot, requesting [ whether he could be ] allowed (until he will have received [ ] the next ships or from [ ]) in order to tear down the thatch [ roof of ] his house.

Note: this request was delivered at the meeting of the director general and councilors by the burgomasters of this city, who requested that the petition be consented to. In consideration of which, and despite the fact that the aforesaid De Groot deserved some punishment for a few evil words given to the fiscal, the following resolution was granted: The request is consented to, provided that the burgomasters and schepenen punish the petitioner for his slander against the fiscal. Dated as above.
