Order granting Bartel Manneken leave to sail in the ship New Amsterdam for Holland
Having received and read the petition of Bartel Maneken, former soldier, remonstrating that he has already paid his passage and board to Pieter Dircksz, skipper of the ship N. Amsterdam; therefore, he requested that he may be excused from having to depart with the ship de Waagh, and that he may be granted permission to depart with the aforesaid ship N. Amsterdam, as it is now ready to sail, because his circumstances urgently demand it.
After due deliberation it was decided: Fiat ut petitur. Ady ut supra.
