[several lines lost] [ ] dictated, which order, to their regret, the aforesaid director general and councilors find, was not observed in accordance with the tenor and their good intent, but was neglected by the said Van Brugge and his deputy commies. And whereas the service of the Company greatly demands that the said account books are put in order and properly brought into the correct form, the director general and councilors of New Netherland therefore ordered and resolved to confine[i] the said Van Brugge and his deputy commies Matthijs Capito to the office, and to let them know that they shall not leave from there except with a written order of the lord general. Dated as above.
