With thanks to Geert, who transcribed the part already, underneath an English summary:

The second document is also a deposition of witnesses Thomas Immen, Jan Immen, Jan Sammen and Jan Leversedge, all living in Leiden, who testified at the request of Niclaes Claveren, tobacco salesman to have heard from Pieter Buyt, innkeeper of the inn called De Witte Eenhoorn [The White Unicorn], located at the Langebrug in Leiden, in the inn with the sign called 'De Vrouwenkercke te Antwerpen' [Our-Ladies Church of Antwerp], kept by Abraham de Vos, also located at the Langebrug, that a certain gloves maker called Christoffel left his home with three other men, looking to find Niclaes Claveren in the inn called 'De Vrouwenkerkce te Antwerpen' in order to beat him with some sticks they had brought along. When they did not find him at the inn, they went to the home of Jacobus Quarles, who confirmed this also in person, asking for the weherabout of Niclaes, while stating that one of Niclaes close friends [or relatives, the Dutch word 'vrunden' can refer to either meaning]. When they did not find it at the home of Jacobus Quarles, they went to the home of Thomas Immen in the Zonneveldsteeg. When they did not find Niclaes there, they went forth. The witnesses declare to be willing to confirm this in court if needed. The next page does not contain additional info but the names and marks/signatures of the witnesses.
