A gun inventory from 1652

One of the pages in the papers of Dr. S. Hart, from the Gemeentearchief Amsterdam, includes a gun inventory. My copies are pretty bad, generally, and this page does not have the inventory number at the top. It seems to be with pages for a ship named Amsterdam, but the number of guns is only 24, not the 28 from the other page:

 4 pieces of  12 lbs   3100 lbs
                       3150 lbs
                       3120 lbs
                       3220 lbs

 8 pieces of   8 lbs   2849 lbs
                       2840 lbs
                       2770 lbs
                       2940 lbs
                       2732 lbs
                       2970 lbs
