Translation

Honorable and highly esteemed lords.

Whereas the aforesaid de Graeff can provide no more detailed proof here about his honest competency concerning the aforesaid bark than the testimony of his mates, and that his departure from this province is most necessary as he doesn’t know how to earn his keep here, therefore he allows the above demand and claim of the fiscal, and Jan du Prie, a burgher and citizen here, shall have to install himself for a certain period to be preferred by your honors as principal security against any warning notice which might occur from the aforesaid bark for such a sum as the same is judged to be worth here; in addition he is prepared to pay the lord his claim. This having been done, he asks that your honors be pleased to approve of his departure. (was signed)

Pieter de Graeff, the mark placed by I P Jan du Prie
