English Translation

On this day, the 8th of May 1655, a little after two o’clock in the afternoon, there appeared before me, Hendrick Schaef, notary public, etc., and the undersigned witnesses, Jacob Jansz Springhoorn of Hamburg, sailing as gunner’s mate on the ship Amersfoort, in the service of the Dutch East India Company at the Chamber here in Amsterdam. He declared and acknowledged, for himself and his heirs, to be lawfully and properly indebted to an innkeeper residing here, by the city herring quay, the presenter of this deed, in the sum of one hundred ordinary guilders of twenty stuivers each.

This debt arises from consumed living expenses, advanced and disbursed monies, both for his outfitting for this voyage and otherwise, which he has enjoyed and received to his satisfaction. He therefore requests that the said sum may be demanded, collected, and received, and that it shall be paid from the first and earliest wages, monthly pay, and additional earnings to be earned by him, both on this voyage and on all other voyages, no services or voyages being excepted, until full and effective payment has been made.

Accordingly, he assigns and pledges the same thereto, and transfers, cedes, and conveys by these presents all rights relating to the aforesaid sum, fully renouncing the same for his benefit. This is done under pledge of his person and all further goods, without exception, submitting himself to the jurisdiction of courts and judges. All of this was duly done in Amsterdam, in the presence of Hendrick de Haes and Jan Theunisz Schoemaker, requested as witnesses.
