English translation

Since, according to the thoughts of the chiefs and the recording of the consumption rate of the flute ship Loosduijnen, it was found that their long journey of pottage had been completely stripped and according to which, in order to make its further journey to Batavia, it must necessarily be seconded. Therefore the Council was reinforced with the chiefs of the ships Oliphant and Loosduijnen, after making the transshipment of the Oliphant’s provisions and the proportion of the people allocated from the largest ship’s provisions to the common flute, the following can be transferred, Namely: 1 half aam olive, 2 do. Brandy and 4 barrels of barley and ore,

To which end, according to the general council decision, an ordinance from the Commander's hand has been passed.

Thus done and resolved in the Fort of Good Hope, on the date and year as above.
