Arrival of Sebald de Weert in Matecalo.

The king of Matecalo (Baticaloa) waits to receive vice admiral De Weert. When the king hears that De Weert has released Portuguese prisoners in violation of the contract they had agreed and De Weert then goes on to insult him, De Weert is made to pay with his life.
