Summary (also from the next page)
On January 29, 1611, at a meeting on the ship 'Wapen van Amsterdam' anchored before Jacatra, Jan Cornelisz Wissekerke submitted a request. The Governor-General and his council showed mercy and reinstated him to his previous position, but fined him one month's wages. This was signed by Pieter Pot, Mateo Coteels, Steven Doens, Abraham Theunemans, Claes Outgers, and Dirk Prs Salf.
After reading the Governor-General's instructions and oath, the same oath was administered to Houtman, Jasper Janssz, and Schaerlaken. They decided to send a sloop loaded with rice to Banda with 14 soldiers and 11 sailors for defense against corcorren (local boats), making a total of 25 people.
Because the castle of Amboina was short on soldiers, they ordered that 100 men should always remain there, including all married personnel brought from Holland from both the Zeeland and Holland Companies. To avoid future problems, they decided that no high-ranking officer except sergeants could marry local women, unless officers were sent from the homeland with higher ranks.
They ordered the purchase of rice from some junks at a reasonable price, up to 300 loads or more, as it was needed in Ternate.
On February 18, 1611, at Castle Amboina, the Governor-General called a meeting with Frederick de Houtman, Jasper Janssen, Steven Doens, Jacob van Schaerlaken, and Abraham Theunemans to discuss necessary matters.
