Translation

Jan Gallardo Spangnart appeared who, complaining that all his possessions that he brought along were used up, requests that as alms he be consented and allowed to depart for the fatherland on one of the ships at the Company’s expense.

Having considered the complaints of the said Gallardo, and that the lords burgomasters of the city of Amsterdam gave him free passage here (as he says), and now having no means to pay the fare for Holland, he is, at his request, granted as alms [several lines lost]
