Rekening Schotse kerk - mengsel van Nederlands en Scots

Dear Robert, it is indeed a confusing mix of languages and phnoetic spelling, it took me some time to understand this account concerns costs for buying grey cloth and the making of clothes. Here my transcription albeit with a lot of non liquets:

den 10 Jannuewarij 1642 vercoecht aen S. ...obert Geijsen
kae...ster van de Schotse armen tot behoef van van der Schotten
aemen voor ...est den thenenteaker van Sr. Au,,,s f …. 1:6:0

Bedankt, Otto. I can help somewhat with the final part (in Scots): for 2 d...cht sijllk and 2½ dossen hair buttonis £0 : 1 : 8 o...ie for making of them clothis £0 : 7 : 0 bij me James greive

Thanks, Robert, I cleacry had no clue about some words! The last past starts I think now with For 2 dropwycht syllk. The unity for the silk is totally new for me, I suppose it refers to a weight class for silk.

I think you are correct, Otto. The word (maybe dropwycht or dwpwycht) must be a unit of measurement which would be current in Zeeland in the 1600s for a small amount of silk. Having considered what you have written and had another look, here is what I think the document says (with line numbers): 1 den 10 Jannewarj 1642 vercoecht aen s[ieu]r robert grjse[n] 2 harmster van de[n] schotse[n] arme[n] tot behoef vande[n] schotse 3 arme[n] voor eerst 3 ell[en] ‘t kluert lake[n] van 52 stu[ijv]ers d’el - £1 6 0 4 djto 3½ ell[en] grau ljwaet van 10 stu[iv]ers del comt - £0 5 10 5 £1 11 10 6 bj mj sijmon de bruijne 7 for 2 dropwycht [or dwpwycht] syllk and 2½ dossen hair buttonis £0 1 8 orbie 8 for making of them clothis £0 7 0 9 by me James greive £2 0 8 It is really just 'dropwycht/dwpwycht' and 'orbie' which puzzle me.

@Andreas, thanks for pointing to the Dictionaries of the Scots Language, a wonderful online resource! The Dutch coin oortje had crossed my mind, but not the variant oortken which led to Scottish orkie....

Goed gedaan, Andreas!

DSL is, indeed, a very impressive online resource. I should have thought of using it.

I think I'm happy with this account now, so thanks to both of you. I have another couple of these loose accounts that I need help with and will upload them soon.
