At the session appeared the venerable Domine Johannis Megapolensis, servant of the Divine Word in the city of Amsterdam in New Netherland, remonstrating that the present precentor requests his immediate release in order to depart for patria, asks before he is permitted to do so, to be provided again with another competent person.

The honorable high councilors reply that the present precentor shall continue until such time that the venerable church council has found a person, whom they consider competent. When found the same can be proposed to the honorable lords councilors. Done at Amsterdam in New Netherland, ady ut supra.
