This is the burial of Jans Harmensz van Dijssel in Delft.
I can see there are some notes at the side of his name. Can anyone tell me what they say?
I think the first- 14 dragers means 14 carriers, so presumably an expensive funeral?
Many thanks

12 September 1689
14 dragers,
een meerderjarige
en een minderjarige,
kints kinderen
Jan Harmens van Dijssel, weduwenaar aan de
Oude Delft, bij de Kloksteegh in de kerk.
The notes say that two of the 14 bearers were his grandchildren, one adult and one minor.
That's super, many thanks Geert.
It's a lovely detail about his grandchildren being bearers at his funeral.
very best wishes
Anne
Small addition: the note in the margin says that among the bearers is one child and 3 grandchildren.
