"...De Engelsche (seyd hy) hebben dese drij schepen
met silver gehenomen, ende sy nu pretenderen (speaking of
the Masters of the sayd shippe) dat het silver t'Hamburg
huys toekomt, maer het is seker dat het t'Amsterdam

The English (he said) have taken these three ships with silver, and
now they pretend ('they' being the masters of the said ship) that the
silver belongs to the Hamburg House [probably some German trading
company based in Hamburg], but it is certain that the silver belongs to
those from Amsterdam and Haarlem, and lastly, that it [i.e. the loss of
the silver] will be tough for those from Haarlem and Amsterdam.
Also, the English (he said) are smart enough to understand this, and
will not easily part with the silver because of this pretention.
