English translation
Hendrick Reijnste van Dircxlant, aged 24 years, freelance carpenter285 here at Cabo de Boa Esperance, having entered into a marriage vow with Barbara Geens of Amsterdam, aged 36 years, widow of the deceased boss and gardener Jacob van Rosendael, and who appeared together in Rade, requesting to be married with the other in the Holy. to be legally confirmed by the state, and to that end, to grant that their first prayer could be performed the morning after the sermon. The Council (having learned only that both were liberal and free persons, who, according to their own declaration, had no relations with anyone in the world in this regard) deemed it appropriate to consent to these people's request, and subsequently, on the morning after the end of the Christian sermon, to have their first consent performed, and likewise every Sunday until the third inclusive, so that after the last proclamation the solemnization could take place and proceed with the faithful public.
Thus done and resolved in the Fort of Good Hope on the day and year as above.
