31 ditto

At the session having read a petition signed by various merchants and factors, and requesting to be allowed to depart for patria with the ships Beer and Bontecoe, it was resolved, after due consideration, presently not to allow anyone to leave the country. Therefore, the petitioners shall be pleased to have patience until the next ship already being loaded, according to the unanimous resolution of the director general and councilors done in the presence of the burgomasters and schepens of this city. Thus done, ady ut supra, 21 October 1655.[1]
