Last Sunday, after the end of the sermon, the third call had been made, according to Christian custom, without the slightest hindrance, of the betrothed persons Abraham Gabbema from The Hague, fiscal from here, a young man, and Petronella Does van Doesburgh, a young daughter. And since no cause had occurred which might have delayed or hindered them in their intentions, the Council understood the subsequent resolution of the 4th of this month to allow the solemnization of the marriage to proceed in the name of the Lord, and to that end it was approved that everything may proceed lawfully and in good order to God's greatest glory the congregation. solemnization (as if without a minister) to be administered by the Secretary of our Council for all the people in an open council chamber, as shall be publicly and legally done and effectuated on the date after the reading of the sermon in the name of the Lord.
Thus done and resolved in the Fort of Good Hope on the date and year as above.
