Description: | 1588 July, [18-] 28. Geertrudenbergh.
The commissaries are about to begin the payment of the money, but some little dispute has arisen between them and the soldiers, these last claiming to be paid upon the rolls, while the commissaries declare that a calculation must be made of what is due to each, so as to see whether the 200,000 florins will serve to satisfy them all. In any case, we must in some way find enough to content them. As to the coming of your Excellency, no one desires it more than I do, but I dare not yet advise it. When the payments are all made, however, I believe you may trust yourself here as confidently as in any place in your government.
Postscript.--Pray send off the act of pardon promised by the 1st article, under the hand and seal of your Excellency and the States General, that when they are paid, the men may have no further ground of complaint.
