English translation
As the prisoners, Jan Blanx, Jan van Leijen28 , Willem Huijtjens and Gerrit Dircksz have now been brought before the judge of this fortress three times for examination: and the fourth time for interrogatory questioning again, and the truth has been demanded in everything, and they declare that they no longer know anything, have confessed as reason, It is understood that their case will be dealt with further tomorrow by sentence, and that they will receive the well-deserved punishment, such that with consultation of the case it will be understood before the judge of this fortress to prevent greater or more serious disasters and to deter others, most useful and reassuring for the E. Compe. to belong, as well as the surgeon-in-chief Cornelis Hansz Maijerp, to swear an oath to be purged because of the charges brought against him by the prisoners, etc.
Thus done and resolved in the Fort of Good Hope on the date and year as above.
