The organization of Jan Evertsen's squadron on Saturday, 7 December 1652

A feature of Jan Evertsen's handwritten journal is that he gives the day of the week, as well as the date. We know that 7 December 1652 was a Saturday, because of that. On 7 December, Jan Evertsen (or Johan Evertsen) gave the organization of his squadron in his journal. He nicely lays out the divisions. Sadly, The First Dutch War, Vol.III, did not preserve that layout. This is his squadron organization:
Vice-Admirael                 Admirael                       Schout-bij-Nacht
Commandeur Cornelis Evertsen  Vice-Admiraal Johan Evertsen   capitein Jan Evertsz de Liefde
Gillis Janszoon               Jan le Sage                    Johannes van Regermorter
Jacob Adriaensz Penssen       Jan Pauwelszoon                Cornelis Cuijper
Bastiaen Centen               Jan Oliverszoon                schipper of Frans Mangelaer
Jacob Wolfertszoon            Joost Banckert                 schipper of Cornelis Rocusz Fincen
                                                             Dingeman Cats
