Translation

At the session appeared Hendrik Jansen van der Vin, Cornelis Martensen factoor, and Elbert Elbertsen, requesting the wife of Nicolaes Boot (who was placed in confinement yesterday for her base speech and curse words on the director general and councilors) be freed; after due deliberation they receive in response that if her husband will place himself as security that she will appear at the session of the director general and councilors upon summons, that she would be let out in her husband’s charge.

Nicolaes Boot appearing, places himself as security for his wife’s appearance at all times before the director general and councilors upon summons, pledging for this purpose his person and goods, in the presence of the aforesaid persons as witnesses. Ady ut supra.
