Quae si, ita ut opinamur, tibi redditae sunt, poteris ex eis intelligere nos in hoc toto negotio, quod cum magistro Prussiae gessimus, nihil a boni principis et Christiani regis officio ulla in parte deflexisse nec in ea concordia de religione ne tantillum quidem cum illo egisse, multo minus de conubio filiae nostrae, de quo ne somniavimus quidem umquam. Quare quoties e re fuerit, habebis, quod curiosis istis et suspiciosis respondeas, nos enim elegimus potius eam pacem, quae pro ratione temporis contingere potuit et visa est solidior, quam omnino necessitate et furore bellico terras et hereditatem nostram et regni nostri repetendo omnia vastare et destruere, considerantes alioquin iam pridem in Prussia non de ordine solum, sed de tota prorsus religione actum esse.
