English translation
Yesterday, at the meeting of the provisional assistant, Jan Valkenrijck, having been granted the privilege of exercising French and other wines in exchange for consent, citizen Hendrick van Zuerwaard appeared in Raade today. He demonstrated how he had learned that his renounced privilege of both, French and other wines, had been approved by the aforementioned Valkenrijck, and that, in return, he had declined to tap his brandy and arrack. He therefore reverently requested that he be favored in this regard, as another trade was currently exercising.
The Council, having taken his request into consideration and no contrary reasons having arisen, has mutually granted the requested brandy and aracqs tap, especially since this does not increase the authorized number of taverns here, but rather changes them from one to the other for accommodation.
In the Fortress of Good Hope, date uts.
Presented to me and initialed by order of the Commander and Council.
[Signed:] H. CRUDOP.
