Summary (also from the next page)

The document from Macassar dated May 30, 1727 discusses political tensions between the Dutch East India Company and Boni. The Queen of Boni claimed that the authority of the Arou Betoes (electoral lords) had no power, and that she alone had the right to decide who would receive part of the kingdom of Macassar.

There were concerns that the Queen intended to make Carain Limpangan, the second son of the King of Goa, the King of Boni through inheritance from her husband Aroe Kaijoe. This was considered problematic given Boni's laws and their historical suffering under Goa's control.

The document was signed at Castle Rotterdam in Macassar by I. Frederik Gobius, Joan Steenhoff, P. van der Snippe, I. Roman, E. Nuijts, and J. Hendrik Nipoort. They decided to delay sending any Dutch East India Company delegation.
