Extract from the resolutions of the Directors
Extract from the register of resolutions made by the lords directors of the West India Company, chamber at Amsterdam, on Monday, the 3rd of June 1658.
We have learned from the most recent letters coming over from New Netherland that the captain of the city's ship the Waagh, and some others, uttered many injurious words and blasphemies against the Company and the officials there; therefore, we have resolved and decided that the director general Stuyvesant and the councilors there be advised in general concerning this matter, and ordered to maintain the respect of their high mightinesses and the Company throughout the entire land there, as is appropriate, and upon such occasion to procede against transgressors thereof as is appropriate.
