A hired ship named Engel Gabriel

In the notes of S. Hart, from the Gemeentearchief Amsterdam, there is a ship mentioned named Engel Gabriel, with an inventory. The data I can read is as follows:
Length from stem to sternpost:  136ft
Beam:                            29ft-6in

36 guns:
18-12pdr
 2-8pdr
12-6pdr
 4-4pdr
This is a ship hired in 1652, in Amsterdam. On what might be the second page, it is signed by Isaac Sweers on 12 August 1652.
