The list of ships hired by the Admiralty of Amsterdam, apparently in early 1652

The list of ships in the document sent me by Jan Glete is very striking. Included are ships that are usually thought of as purpose-built warships. The document is convincing, as it gives the amounts paid to hire the ships. The ships were all part of the "Extraordinary Equipage", the 100 ships to be hired by the five Admiralties in 1652. These are the large ships included in the document, in this order:
