In 1885
is de verbetering der Vaart
tusſchen Ryn en Schie
door de
STATEN van ZUIDHOLLAND
ondernomen.

Hier, waar de nayver der ſteden
tot 1648 ſlechts een Overtoom
en daarna een Verlaat met
doorvaartwydte van 3.80M. en
doorvaarthoogte van 2.20M. ge
doogde, hebben zy deze ſluis
wyd 7 M., met beweegbare
bruggen, bevolen.

In 1885 the improvement of the waterway between Rhine and Schie was undertaken by the States of South Holland

Here, where because of the jealousy between the cities until 1648 only a portage and later a lock of 3.80 metre wide and 2.20 metre deep was possible, they have ordered a lock of 7 metres wide with bridges that can be opened.

The spelling is not entirely modern and I read a word incorrectly (now corrected): "nayver" is jealousy or spite, nowadays spelled as "naijver". I thought it was nijver, short for nijverheid, which means industry or economy.
