Tuesday, 15 ditto

Having read the petition of the courts of Midwout and Amesfoort, remonstrating that they would construct there for the convenience of domine Polhemius, presently their minister, a proper dwelling and fence off a parcel of land, and whereas they are still poor, whether they may be permitted to seek assistance from die public, it was decided after due deliberation that the petitioners’ request would be examined closer when the dwelling has been built and the land fenced off, and the account of expenses shown to the lords councilors. Ady ut supra.[1]
