You are referencing an event more than 300 years later than the event I am speaking of. But yes, to your point, much of what was necessary to the Industrial Revolution was pioneered by the Dutch during the 1600s: contracts, fair and impartial courts, the end of legal immunity for the nobility (regarding civil contracts), modern finance, modern insurance, advanced transport, modern storage facilities, etc. This is also covered by the historian Fernand Braudel, who is worth reading.

The Dutch also benefitted by use of peat for heating and cooking fuel, which preserved their (scarce) lumber supply for shipbuilding. See Manfred Weissenbacher, Sources of Power, Vaclav Smil, Energy in History.
