_Wh._ I hope the treaty which your Majesty shall make will be observed by
any who shall succeed you; but I acknowledge it is very advisable for me to have some discourse with his Royal Highness, to give him an account of the treaty, and I shall inquire where I may attend him. _Qu._ You must go from hence to Stockholm, and so to Nordköping, and the castle where the Prince now resides is within a league of that town; you may have my coaches and horses to transport you, and my servants to guide you thither. _Wh._ I humbly desire your Majesty to make choice of any of my coach-horses or saddle-horses that may be useful for you, and to command them; they are all at your Majesty's service. _Qu._ I shall not make choice of any; but if you bestow any of them upon me, they will be very acceptable. _Wh._ I humbly acknowledge your Majesty's great favour in affording a despatch to my business. _Qu._ I wish you with the Protector, because I see you are a faithful servant to him, and worthy to serve any prince in Christendom. _Wh._ Your Majesty ever had a favour for me, and in nothing more than in my despatch. _Qu._ I think it not fit for you to be in Sweden too near the time of the coronation of the new King; and then to go away, and not to see him, would be worse. |
