Chan. That hath been a great occasion of all your troubles.
Wh. I expected to have heard my father, the Ricks-Chancellor, to have made an harangue in the Ricksdag, to have acquainted them, as it is with us, with the causes of their meeting.
Chan. I confess it belongs to my place to have done it; but, by reason of an oath I had taken to my king, to endeavour to keep the crown on his daughter’s head, and this assembly was called that she might resign it; therefore I desired to be excused from making that proposal.
Wh. Indeed her Majesty spake herself with an excellent grace and spirit, which was a wonder to see it done by a young lady to so great and grave an assembly; and the matter of her speech, as it was interpreted to me, was pertinent and full of weight.
Chan. Indeed she spake very well and materially, and like a prince.
Wh. I am sorry my time calls me away from further enjoyment of my father’s excellent conversation.
Chan. I shall be glad if my noble son would afford me more of his company, in which I take so much contentment.
Wh. My journey tomorrow hastens me away, and occasions your less trouble.
Chan. I pray assure the Protector of the respect and high value I have for him, and of my devoted mind to serve him in anything within my power in this kingdom.
Wh. You have been pleased largely to testify this in my transactions, and your noble favours and respects to your son.
