There appeared before the undersigned aldermen Laurens Coolszone, serge weaver, aged about 38 years, and Bartholomees Smit, fustian weaver, aged about 29 years, both living in the Katalineveststege within this city of Leiden. And they, having been duly sworn and examined under solemn oath, at the request of Davidt de Kneeck, serge weaver, living here, testified and declared it to be true that, last Saturday at about half past eleven, they the witnesses, sitting working at their aforesaid respective dwellings, heard a commotion, and going out of the house into the street on that account, saw that the aforesaid requester, together with Pieter Pietersz. Lofrys, were standing at the corner of the same Katalineveststege near the Achtergraft.

They then heard that, among other quarrelsome words which the requester and the aforesaid Lofrys exchanged with one another, the said Lofrys said to the requester that he had committed a false oath and that he, Lofrys, had thereby suffered loss, repeating and recounting the same or similar words in substance several times. Whereafter the aforesaid Lofrys went home, and having brought home a small net with mussels which he had been carrying on his arm, came back to the same place where the requester was standing, the said Lofrys then calling out in a loud voice that the requester was a perjured scoundrel, with such or similar words in effect.

Testifying nothing further, so truly might God Almighty help them the appearers. Done this 4th of February in the year sixteen hundred and ten. Jaspersz. van Vesanevelt. Wyllem Govarts.
