Hendricxsz, 232 from Os, aged twenty-five years, and Symon Woutersz, from Nus, aged about
forty-three years, who jointly attest, testify and declare, in place and with promise of a solemn
oath if necessary and required, that it is true and truthful that Hans Meyster, from Turingen, a
soldier in Captain Jan de Vries’ company, lying sick in bed, but of sound memory and
understanding as it appeared to us, desired that after his death Hans Boer, from Tegervelde, 233 his
comrade, should by way of testamentary disposition receive his monthly wages which are due
him by the honorable West India Company and were earned by him in Brazil, Marinjan, 234 and
New Netherland; which the deponents declare to have been his last will and desire, offering to
confirm the same if necessary. Done the 21st of January 1645, in Fort Amsterdam in New
