[several lines lost] [ ], namely [ ] 3 small chests were consigned to Jeuriaen Jansen by Gerrit Jansz Kuijper, and 48 bars by the ship t’ Draatvadt were consigned to Sr. Cornelis Steenwijck by Sr. Gillis van Hoornbeecq, and that his honor, although it is mentioned in the invoice, has had the said lead brought into the warehouse until further order.

The director general and councilors, having heard the account of the lord fiscal and considered it, for reasons moving the director general and councilors thereto, decided and ordered that the aforesaid bars of lead shall be placed in the honorable Company’s warehouse, and that it will be distributed sparingly to the owners, no more than what they will need from time to time to make leaded windows. Dated as above.
