Dear Cata, your question is with a page from the Dagh-register gehouden int Casteel Batavia vant passerende daer ter plaetse als over geheel Nederlandts-India. 1624-1629, J.E. Heeres (ed.) (Tha Hague 1896), online at https://archive.org/details/daghregistergeh01kologoog/ , The whole series of editions is conveniently accessible at the portal Sejarah Indonesia, https://sejarah-nusantara.anri.go.id/daily_journals_volumes/.
The text you present here is in seventeeth-century Dutch, written in 1624, I would like to point you to a concise book by L. Koelmans, Inleiding tot het lezen van zeventiende-eeuws Nederlands (Utrecht 1978), digitized in the Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren, https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/koel004inle01_01/koel004inle01_01.pdf . This book could be helpful for other users of this forum, too. On another occasion I could track digital versions of two old English-Dutch dictionaries, Henry Hexham’s Het groot woorden-boeck: gestelt in ‘tNederduytsch, ende in ‘t Engelsch (1648), online, DBNL, https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/hexh001groo01_01/hexh001groo01_01.pdf , and William Sewel, A large dictionary English and Dutch (ed. 1735), https://archive.org/details/alargedictionar00sewegoog .
A full translation takes time, and this is a palarogrpahy forum, but I can give you at least quickly the core meaning of the contents. The load of the three ships going back to Holland contained spices and gems, and also indigo and copper. Jan de Rycke, a merchant, arrived with the yacht Den Haringh. Hecame with a report on the behaviour of pangoran Gedee who wanted to execute Chinese merchants who had brough pepper to Batavia, this against the opposition of other pangorans. The people would be happy with any action against Gedee who had forced others to follow his lead. Pangoran Ratu was in favour of peace, which would certainly succeed with helpt from the general governor (the gouverneur-generaal).
