Advertentie voor een goed gebouwde woonruimte met bijgebouwen op drie palen bij Paccalongang op de route naar Batavia. Geschikt voor een familie. Geïnteresseerden sturen een brief aan J. R. op het Post Comptoir te Paccalongang. Pacca Lon Gane 3 mei 1815.
The passage notes Hollandus has adopted a calmer tone but accuses him of continued inconsistency when attacking others. It reflects on shifts from earlier anger and urges steadiness in his public demeanor.
The text argues that Hollandus misleads by stirring patriotic pride into literary critique. It criticizes use of violent discourse, defends calm discussion, and questions Valentyn's accuracy on Java's history and the 1406 introduction of Islam by Shekh Maulana Ibn Israel, who influenced Damak and Pajang.
The article refutes the idea that the Era mentioned is Javanese and not Christian, noting Valentyn’s nearby passage explicitly identifies the Christian Era. It emphasizes the source confirms a Christian dating framework rather than a non Christian calendar.
A dense critique disputing Valentyn's dates and claims about the spread of Islam in Java and Malacca. The writer attacks errors tied to Javanese era calculations, Pajang and Johor histories, and the propagation by Shekt Maulana. He contrasts this with Marsden and Edinburgh Review judgments, defending Hollandus and native literature.
In a curbing tone the writer notes some moderation in the Englishman but laments persistent gaps in intellect and language. He urges a concerted effort to grasp how two languages share affinity while nations remain unintelligible to each other.
