We, Frans Adryaenszoon van Leeuwen and master Jacob van Brouchoven, aldermen in Leiden, declare that there appeared before us Jan Kebel, wool comber, who declared that he had bought from Henrick Coleth a house and yard standing and situated within this city on the north side of the Dwersheerenstraete, bordered on the one side, to the west, by the heirs of Julius Beyma, or whoever may hold their claim, and on the other side, to the east, by Symon Jacobszoon, beer-tapster, running in front from the aforesaid street to the rear as far as the garden of the commandery; and the appearer acknowledged that he had taken upon himself the charges on the aforesaid house and yard.

He thereby took upon himself, first, a ground rent of three guilders of 40 groats each, due to the burgomasters of this city, and further a sum of seven hundred and sixty guilders of the aforesaid currency which Thomas Ondermarck still had outstanding from the sale of the aforesaid house and yard, to be paid to him in free money together with seventy guilders per year, at May-day of the year sixteen hundred and fifteen for the first payment. Of these aforesaid charges the appearer, together with Robbert Coetsman, comber, who appeared before us aldermen as surety for the debt and likewise as principal, waiving the benefit of order and of execution (ordinis et excussionis), of which he declared himself fully informed, promised to indemnify and hold harmless the aforesaid Henrick Coleth as is fitting.

Beyond this, the appearers, in the capacity aforesaid, acknowledged owing to the aforesaid Henrick Coleth a sum of two hundred and forty guilders of the said currency, which they promised to pay in this manner: namely, at May-day of the year sixteen hundred and fourteen, at the taking of possession of the aforesaid house and yard, eighty of the said guilders in cash, and at May-day of the years sixteen hundred twenty-six and sixteen hundred twenty-seven, likewise eighty guilders each time.

The appearers further promised, on their honour and good faith, in place of an oath, to pay all the aforesaid moneys in free money without any deduction or reduction, whether for aids, subventions, assessments, land taxes (verpondingen), or other contributions of a hundredth, fiftieth, twentieth, tenth part or more or fewer pennies, however these might be named, and by whomever they have already been imposed and levied or shall be imposed — even should it be declared by placard or otherwise that on these and similar purchase moneys a reduction or discount should or must be allowed — of all advantage and benefit of which the appearers expressly renounced and waived hereby, hereby binding, first, the aforesaid Jan Kebel specifically with the aforesaid house and yard, and further both appearers generally with all their respective goods, movable and immovable, present and future, none excepted.

The aforesaid Jan Kebel further promised to release his aforesaid surety in this matter from the said suretyship, under the same binding as above. In witness whereof this is confirmed with our seals, on the twenty-eighth of March in the year sixteen hundred and fourteen. Signed below: J. Swanenburch. Sealed, etc.

In the margin: The last bond of this deed, for two hundred and forty guilders, promised by Jan Kebel to Henrick Coleth, has been redeemed by the aforesaid Jan Kebel, such that Henrick Coleth, appearing at the secretary's office, acknowledged himself fully and entirely paid thereof, and through misunderstanding had the whole deed cancelled — whereas the first bond still remains unpaid, so that the promise of indemnity remains still in full force. Done the 28th of April 1616.

On 7 December 1617 appeared before the notary public and the witnesses named below Jonathan Brewster, ribbon maker in Leiden, and Seigneur Thomas Brewer, also living in Leiden. They acknowledged that they had agreed to trade together from that time onward, faithfully and with proper diligence.

They expressly agreed that every question or dispute arising from their trade would be settled by four men chosen by both parties: William Brewster, printer; John Carver; Robert Cushman; and John Keble, all Englishmen. Neither party could bring the other before an ordinary court over such a dispute. They were to accept the decision of the four arbiters, on pain of a penalty of five thousand guilders, without prejudice to the arbiters' ruling.

Both men bound their persons and all present and future movable and immovable goods to observe the agreement. The act was passed in Thomas Brewer's house near the clock house of St Peter's Church, in the presence of John Carver and Stephen Butterfield, inhabitants of Leiden, as witnesses.

An instrument in proper form was issued hereof.

Today, the fifth of November in the year sixteen hundred and twenty, there appeared before me, Adriaen Paets, notary public, admitted by the Court of Holland upon the nomination of those of the magistracy of this city of Leiden, together with, before the witnesses named hereafter, Jan Kebel, serge dealer, about 38 years old, and Andries Charp, tobacco pipe maker, about 40 years old, both of the English nation, living within this city; and they have, upon their respective true word, conscience and salvation of their souls, in place of an oath, at the request and instance of Hendrick Baeyfoort, likewise a tobacco pipe maker and of the English nation, testified and declared to be true that they, the deponents, were some days ago requested by the requester to act as good men [mediators] over the making of a settlement between the requester and Pieter Mariaes, camlet worker, likewise living within this city, on account of the wound which the latter had inflicted upon the requester, and that they accordingly, on Tuesday last past, together with the requester, met at a certain inn on the Achtergraft near the Doelen, where at the same time the aforesaid Pieter Mariaes also came, having with him likewise two good men.

The deponents further declared that on that same day, concerning the making of the aforesaid settlement between the aforementioned persons, various proposals were put forward and used on both sides, and that the requester demanded, for his lost time and painful suffering, eighteen guilders, in addition to the surgeon's fee for the wound, which he likewise understood was to be paid by the aforesaid Mariaes without further ado; whereupon the said Mariaes, being heard, indeed admitted that he had wounded the requester in his hand with a certain piece of iron, with which he had struck him in his house, adding thereto, on being asked why he had so wounded the requester, that he had done so out of great haste and anger, and because the requester, when he had asked him how he had come by the reel-yarn that had been at his house, had answered that he did not wish to have anything to do with it, adding that if he had anything to say he should take him to law, and that he had also ordered him out of his house, without his having had any other cause for the aforesaid; and thereupon the said Mariaes, through his good men, offered on behalf of the requester thirty stivers for his pain, suffering and lost time, and that he would in addition pay the surgeon's fee, but would go no higher; with which the requester, not being content, the settlement between the aforesaid parties failed to be reached, and they parted at the said time from one another without the parties being reconciled; the deponents giving as their reason for knowledge that they had heard and seen the aforesaid on the said day, and had been present at and witness to the occurrence thereof.

Today, the 4th of April in the year 1622, there appeared before me, notary public, together with the undersigned witnesses, Andries Cherp, as farmer of the excise on tobacco for Leiden and Rijnland for the term commencing on the first of this month, tobacco merchant, aged about 40 years, and Robert Peck, ribbon merchant, also dealing in tobacco, aged about 37 years, both residing within this city.

They have, at the instance of Jacob Danielsz, here present, upon their word as men, their conscience and the salvation of their souls, in lieu of oath, respectively affirmed and declared to be true: that they, the deponents, on Friday last past, in the afternoon at about four o'clock, in a certain house on the Hoogewoerd where the deponents were, were approached by one Jan Kebel, draper, and Samuel Lee, hatter, likewise tobacco dealers, who told the deponents that there was within this city a travelling dealer who had with him a parcel of tobacco, being lodged at "De Drie Corendragers" ("The Three Corn-Carriers") by the Crane, and asked whether the deponents would also care to go and inspect it.

They declared further that the deponents, agreeing to this, went together with the said Jan Kebel and Samuel Lee, thus the four of them, to the said inn "De Drie Coorndragers" to find the said dealer there, to inspect his tobacco, and possibly to buy some part of it from him. Further, that on arriving there together, they found the said person or dealer sitting in the front room in a small booth, having laid out before him on a table a number of rolls of tobacco, and having with him also two other men, unknown by name to the deponents, who were partaking of the aforesaid tobacco.

They declared further that one of their company cut and pared off a piece of the said tobacco, so that the deponents also partook of it and tasted it. Further, that they, or one of them, finally asked, on behalf of all the others, at what price he wished to sell his tobacco, and that he thereupon named and priced his tobacco at fifty stuivers per pound, but that this tobacco was too poor a quality for the deponents at so high a price, such that the deponents also said that they had no interest in it.

Further they declared that, while they were thus tasting the tobacco as aforesaid, they admonished the said dealer, for his own good, that he ought to declare his tobacco to the tax farmer here before venturing to offer it for sale, adding that otherwise he would come to harm; but that the said dealer brushed this aside, saying that the farmer could not punish him since he owed nothing, appearing to make little of the matter and to pay no heed to the farmer, so that the deponents, seeing this, left him to his own opinion and intention, and departed again from there as they had come, namely the four of them together, without buying any tobacco, leaving the other two men whom they had found there still remaining behind.

Further, the said Robert Peck alone declared that he saw, in the said inn, in the front room, a chest standing open, whereby the deponent had occasion to see that there still lay a number of rolls of tobacco within it.

Declaring nothing further, the deponents offer, should it be necessary, to confirm all the foregoing more fully under solemn oath. Consenting that one or more public instruments be drawn up hereof by me and delivered to the requester.

Thus done within Leiden, at the office of me, the notary, on the Langebrugge, in the presence of Jan van Beechuys, bailiff's officer, and Laurens Vergeyl, clerk, as credible witnesses required hereto together with me, the notary.

Today, the tenth of May, anno sixteen hundred and twenty-two, there appeared before me, Adriaen Paets, notary public, admitted by the Court of Holland upon the nomination of the city of Leiden, together with the witnesses named hereafter, Sr. Thomas Breuwer of the one part, and Rogier Estman together with Sara Willeth — formerly the widow of Willem Minter, who was her first husband — assisted by her aforesaid present husband, of the other part.

And the appearers acknowledged and declared that they had agreed, come to terms and settled with one another, through the mediation and in the presence of Jan Kebel and Willem Jepsen, both of the English nation within this city of Leiden, in the manner and form following, namely:

That the aforesaid Sr. Thomas Breuwer shall be bound, and promises hereby, to pay out and satisfy to the aforesaid Rogier Estman and Sara Willeth yearly the sum of one hundred and twenty guilders, for the benefit and maintenance of the child which the aforesaid Willem Minter begot by the aforesaid Sara Willeth, and in payment and satisfaction of the interest on the sum of nineteen hundred guilders at forty groats the piece, which the aforesaid Sr. Thomas Breuwer, for certain reasons moving him thereto, has promised — as he does promise hereby — to acknowledge as his own debt, which he hereby makes and undertakes for himself and his heirs and successors, and to pay, satisfy and discharge when the child shall have reached the age of twenty-one years, and not before.

And the aforesaid Rogier Estman and Sara Willeth shall be bound to apply the aforesaid yearly interest and income from the aforesaid principal sum of nineteen hundred guilders to the maintenance and upbringing of the same child, and to do for the said child in all things what good parents are bound and ought to do, both in sickness and in health.

And should they in any way treat the child ill, and not raise, govern and guide it properly in the fear of the Lord, as is reasonable and fitting, then the aforesaid Sr. Breuwer, Jan Kebel and Willem Jepsen shall be entitled to take the said child from them and place it out wherever they think fit, and during that time to enjoy and retain the aforesaid one hundred and twenty guilders yearly for that purpose; so that the same Rogier Estman and Sara Willeth shall in that case be deprived of the said annuity, and this agreement shall be wholly void and of no effect, and the aforesaid Sr. Thomas Breuwer discharged therefrom, just as they shall likewise be deprived of the aforesaid annuity and shall in no way be entitled to draw or enjoy it, should Rogier and Sara his wife molest or trouble the aforesaid Sr. Thomas Breuwer, or anyone else whom they might know or suspect to have knowledge of the aforesaid moneys, directly or indirectly, during the life of the aforesaid child, in order to find out where or with whom the aforesaid 1900 guilders are held, or should they, through anyone else, cause the said Sr. Breuwer or others the least trouble, by word or deed, whatsoever it might be, concerning the aforesaid moneys or full knowledge thereof.

Furthermore, the said Rogier Estman and his aforesaid wife shall in no way molest or trouble the aforesaid Sr. Thomas Breuwer by word or deed, for the payment of the aforesaid sum of nineteen hundred guilders, before the said child shall have reached the aforesaid age of 21 years. And should the child happen to die before that time, it shall be free to the same Rogier Estman and Sara Willeth to pursue such action and claim as they shall understand and maintain to be due to them concerning the aforesaid sum of 1900 guilders, their action and claim remaining thereby entirely intact, and they may accordingly then institute the same wherever and however they see fit.

But should the aforesaid child live to reach the age of 21 years, Sr. Thomas Breuwer shall then have to pay and discharge the said sum of 1900 guilders, and shall thereby be freed and released from the payment of the aforesaid one hundred and twenty guilders yearly; and the first year's interest on the aforesaid one hundred and twenty guilders shall fall due and become payable on the tenth of May, anno sixteen hundred and twenty-three, and so forth yearly until the aforesaid time, which the aforesaid Sr. Thomas Breuwer promises to pay yearly, free of charge and without any deduction, within Leiden, at the house where he presently lives, called 'the Green House', standing opposite the bell-tower of St. Peter's Church.

It is furthermore stipulated that, should the aforesaid Jan Kebel or Willem Jepsen happen to die or depart from here, they may, with the knowledge and foreknowledge of the said Sr. Thomas Breuwer, together with Rogier Estman and his wife, appoint and commission another in their place, to have oversight of the aforesaid child and the performance hereof.

The aforesaid contracting parties bind, each for his own part, to the maintenance, performance and assurance of what is stated above and every point thereof, their respective persons and goods, movable and immovable, actions and credits, none excepted, and submit to the compulsion of all the sovereign's rights and courts; and the aforesaid Sr. Thomas Breuwer shall also be bound, and promises hereby, at the request of the aforesaid Jan Kebel and Willem Jepsen, to further secure the aforesaid sum of 1900 guilders to their full satisfaction.

And the appearers requested that one or more deeds in proper form be drawn up and delivered to them by me, the notary, in this matter. Thus done and enacted, all in good faith and without deceit or guile, and passed and executed by the appearers on the day, month and year aforesaid, within Leiden, at the house of Sr. Thomas Breuwer, in the presence of the aforesaid Jan Kebel and Willem Jepsen, residents of this city, as trustworthy witnesses called upon for this purpose together with me, the notary.

There appeared before the undersigned aldermen of the city of Leiden, Dirck Jansz, rope-maker, aged about sixty-two years, and Jan Cornelisz Beckhey, aged about fifty-three years, both residing within this city; and they, having been duly sworn by solemn oath and examined, at the request of Jan Kebel, say-worker, testified and declared to be true that they have had good acquaintance with the aforesaid requester for about sixteen years, during which time they found nothing in him but all honour and virtue, he having conducted himself in his dealings, behaviour and company in no other manner than as befits a man of honour and standing.

Nor have the deponents ever heard or understood that the same man was reputed or defamed for any evil deeds, offences or misconduct, still less that he should have been caught out in any such thing; so that they hold him to be a man of honour, standing in good name and reputation. The deponents give as the reason for this knowledge that they have for many years lived within this city in the same neighbourhood as the requester, and that therefore what is deposed above is well known to them. So truly may God Almighty help them. Done on the 30th of June, sixteen hundred and twenty-seven.
