Today, the 30th of June in the year 1617, there appeared before me, notary public, and the undersigned witnesses, Niclaes Claverly, tobacco-pipe maker, aged about 27 years, and Claes Omaer de Wymile, mason, aged about 28 years, both residing within the city of Leiden.

And they, at the request and instance of Digores Prest, hatter, likewise residing within the aforesaid city, testified and declared upon their respective consciences and the salvation of their souls, in place of an oath, to be true: that Jan Crips, Englishman, wool-card maker, likewise residing within the city of Leiden, who has a wedded wife and children living, is of ill repute and reputed to be having and keeping dishonest dealings with Lijsbeth, the wife of Jan Mos, wool comber, likewise residing within the aforesaid city.

And that the deponents, about a month ago, themselves heard the aforesaid Jan Crips say and admit, at the house of the aforesaid Claes Omaer de Wymile, that he ate of the bread of the aforesaid Jan Mos as often as he pleased; which the aforesaid Jan Crips, apparently wishing afterward to make his meaning clearer, added, in express words in the hearing of the deponents, that he slept with the wife of the aforesaid Jan Mos and had his way with her as often as he wished, saying moreover that he would even dare declare under oath that the wife of the aforesaid Jan Mos belonged to him, Jan Crips, and to her husband, but to no one else.

Declaring nothing further, the deponents offered, should it be necessary and should they be asked in case of recollement, to confirm the aforesaid further by solemn oaths, of which the requester requested one or more instruments in due form.

Thus done within Leiden at the house of me, the notary, situated there on Steenschuur, in the presence of Pieter Joostensz. Warmont and Cornelis Gerytsz. de Haes, clerks, as witnesses hereto required together with me, the notary. Claes Omaer de Wymillet [signed]. Written by the hand of the aforesaid Niclaes Claverly. E.H. Craen, notary public, subscribed, 1617. P.J. Warmont, 1617. Corn. Gerrytssoon de Haes.
