Witness statement by Jan Hidde, about 50 years old, serge merchant, Jacob Boseet, about 34 years old, serge merchant, and Pieter Huyge, about 77 years old, Claas de Leeuwe, about 60 years old, and Jan Jacobsz. van Bloemendael, about 46 years old, all three serge packers. The statement has been made at the request of the unorganised serge pressers and concerns the quality of their work. Today, November the 18th 1619, Hidde, Boseet, Huyge, de Leeuwe and van Bloemendael, together with the serge pressers Francois de Pape and Wouter Claasz, were in the inn “De Princesse van Orangien” belonging to Jacques Walckier, on the Levendaal in Leiden. They heard Pieter van der Schuyre, merchant from Leiden, declare out loud that the pressers do not sort the goods properly. Challenged by them, he told Francois de Pape, Wouter Claasz. and Joost de Vinc, who had joined them, that he had complaints about this point from many merchants, a fact he could prove by their witness statements. The statement was drawn up in Jacques Walckier’s inn by notary public E.H. Craen, with George Fletcher, tailor, and Degory Priest, hatter, as witnesses.

Today, the 18th of November, sixteen hundred and nineteen, there appeared before me, Ewout Henricxz. Craen, notary public, admitted by the Court of Holland on the nomination of the city of Leiden, and the witnesses named below, Jan Hidde, serge presser, aged about 50 years, and Jacob Boseet, likewise a serge presser, aged about 34 years, together with Pieter Huyge, aged about 77 years, Claes de Leeuwe, aged about 60 years, and Jan Jacobsz. van Bloemendael, aged about 46 years, all three serge packers, all residing within the city of Leiden.

At the request and instance of the unorganised serge pressers within the aforesaid city, they testified and declared, upon their respective consciences and the salvation of their souls, in lieu of oath, that it was true that today, the deponents, being at the inn of Jaques Walckier, host of "The Princess of Orange" on the Levendaal within the city of Leiden, in the company of Franchoys de Pape and Wouter Claesz., two of the requesting parties, and others, there was also present Pieter van der Schuyre, merchant within the aforesaid city; that the said Van der Schuyre was then heard to say and relate, in the hearing of several persons, that the pressers, the requesting parties herein, did not sort the goods properly.

Whereupon the aforesaid De Pape and Wouter Claesz., together with Joost de Vinc, who joined them afterward, having asked the aforesaid Van der Schuyre whether any pressers had complained to him about them, the said Van der Schuyre said that yes, and that he could well prove it with a hundred pressers, along with other similar words. Finally, the aforesaid Jacob Roseet and Pieter Huyge declared that they had afterward heard the aforesaid Van der Schuyre say that he could well prove it with a hundred pressers — indeed, even were it with a thousand.

They testified to nothing further, the deponents offering, should it be necessary and required in case of recolement, to confirm the foregoing more fully, each for himself, under solemn oath. They consented that one or more acts be drawn up and issued hereof by me, the notary.

Thus done within the city of Leiden at the aforesaid dwelling of Jaques Walckier, in the presence of Joris Fleysser, tailor, and Digory Pryst, hatter, both residing within the aforesaid city, as trustworthy witnesses requested hereto together with me, the notary.
