The text describes how the head official at Palleacatta trading post, Zeelooven, faced opposition and difficulties. He had previously served as second-in-command at the same location for several years, where he likely developed a taste for dealing with merchants. The author expresses regret that many Company servants show little genuine dedication to serving their masters at the Dutch East India Company. Instead, they prefer to support and protect malicious merchants and evil-minded people rather than doing what is best for the Company.
