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.
Wh. I do intend, upon your Majesty’s advice, to salute him before my going away, and shall desire that the ships may meet me near the place where his Royal Highness is.
Qu. I will give order for it, and will be gone myself not long after; if I had staid here I should have been glad of your longer stay.
