English translation
After the sermon had ended this morning, the third call having been made, according to Christian custom, without the slightest hindrance, of the betrothed persons Frans Gerritsz van den Uijthoorn, a free farmer, and Neeltje Jacobsz van Rosendael, a young woman, and as there had been no occasion to delay or hinder their intentions, the Council has understood the subsequent resolution of the 8th of this month to allow the solemnization of the marriage to proceed in the name of the Lord, and to that end it has also been approved, so that everything may proceed lawfully and in good order to God's greatest glory, the said solemnization (as without a preacher) may proceed To have the Secretary of our Council serve for all the people in an open council chamber, as this shall be done publicly and legally and effectuated in the name of the Lord after the reading of the sermon.
Thus done and resolved in the Fort of Good Hope, on the date and year as above.
