Commentary	The goods sold probably belonged to Arent Gerritsz. and Marij Cornelis. The children of Arent Gerritsz., living on the other side of the Breestraet (thus near the Singel), paid a tax of 20 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 18, p. 5). The uncles of the orphan children, at whose request the sale was held, were Leendert Cornelisz., lumber dealer, and Jacob Jansz., beer carrier. On 17 September 1610, a painter named Arent Gerritsz. was named guardian over Claes Jansz. van Soest (WK 5073/513, fol. 138).
