[E.B. O'Callaghan (ed.) (1856)] And whereas, your High Mightinesses can, from what precedes, sufficiently infer that the said Simon Janssen complains unjustly of those of the Company, and that the case of said ship, as between him and the aforesaid Fiscal, has been now already examined, in New Netherland, and decided by the definitive judgment of the Director General and Council; we, therefore, humbly pray you. High and Mighty, to be pleased to dismiss the request contained in the petition of the aforesaid Simon Janssen, and to order him not to trouble us any more touching the matter aforesaid. Wherewith ending We shall pray God for the continued success of your High Mightinesses' prosperous government and remain High and Mighty Lords, Your High Mightinesses' humble servants. The Directors of the West India Company, Chamber at Amsterdam.
