Is anyone able to explain the "Vestiging en vertrek" (settlement and departure) records in Wiewaswie?

Question

Hi,

I'm looking at a WiewasWie record for Jaques de la Haye in Amsterdam on January 18,1641. He is a silk shopkeeper. I can't read Dutch and though I tried translating the record, I can't tell whether it indicates that he is settling IN Amsterdam or leaving Amsterdam (or something else). Wish I could link to the record, but I don't think so. Can anyone help?

What is the permalink to the record? You can switch to the English interface and then copy link.

The English version of the transcript has this link (nl -> en, use the menu option on the right top)

This is a record in a Poorterboek: the registration at the office for new inhabitants (the Poorter) and workers, after they paid the tax to live in the town. So he registered in Amsterdam with his profession Silk Shop Keeper. (zijdewinkelier).
