Witte de With's squadron on 4 August 1652

From Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet, we know the captains in Vice-Admiral Witte de With's squadron on 4 August 1652. They were part of Lt-Admiral Tromp's fleet on the voyage to the Shetlands, when a strong storm hit and scattered the fleet. This is the list:
Key:
A   = Admiralty of Amsterdam
NQ  = Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier
R   = Admiralty of Rotterdam (the Maze)
Z   = Admiralty of Zeeland
