English translation
Since His Divine Majesty has pleased to deport our good Teacher, rightful leader, and guide to all Christian virtues, the beloved and Reverend Dominee Joan van Arckel,1 from this life on the 12th of this month, and to take him from us, it is now understood that his surviving eldest sister, Miss Elisabeth van Arckel, will not only remain outside in the house where her aforementioned dear Brother's salvation is decided, until another preacher appears here, but will also receive half of the living expenses of her deceased Brother, that is, 6 1/2 bad reals per month for the duration of their subsistence. to follow the roads and enjoy themselves until they could decide whether to return to their homeland with the upcoming return fleet from India this year, or to depart for India with one of the outgoing ships.
Thus done and arrested at the Fort of Good Hope on the day and year aforesaid.
