"The Uffenbach brothers are in Amsterdam. They visit the Kapel in the Kalverstraat [Nieuwezijds Kapel] and the Nieuwe Kerk on the Dam. Uffenbach considers the latter inferior to the Grote Kerk in Haarlem. He comments on the stained-glass windows with the emperor Maximilian offering the coat-of-arms to Amsterdam. The next day the brothers are starting their itinerary. Due to the cold weather and a sick servant they could not get anywhere before. They hire a lackey for 6 guilders a week and a sledge for 2,5 guilders per day. They arrive first at Meel, who excuses himself, and then at the lady Merian, daughter of Mattheus Merian."
