poland_n proffer_v on_o reasonable_a condition_n and_o final_o do_v send_v our_o ambassador_n to_o procure_v and_o settle_v peace_n but_o all_o in_o vain_a because_o our_o ambassador_n be_v indeed_o well_o receive_v in_o the_o king_n name_n but_o to_o our_o disgrace_n be_v treat_v withal_o in_o a_o new_a and_o unheard_a of_o manner_n be_v refuse_v audience_n and_o without_o cause_n give_v or_o show_v and_o therefore_o unjust_o they_o proclaim_v and_o declare_v we_o enemy_n because_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n have_v make_v a_o peace_n with_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n have_v receive_v the_o satisfaction_n which_o be_v agree_v on_o appropriate_v unto_o himself_o the_o title_n of_o the_o province_n which_o he_o have_v so_o acquire_v enjoy_v and_o make_v use_v of_o they_o and_o do_v public_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v his_o friend_n and_o ally_v and_o though_o he_o retain_v the_o satisfaction_n yet_o he_o perform_v not_o the_o agreement_n and_o have_v frame_v a_o conspiracy_n he_o broek_v the_o say_a peace_n and_o beyond_o all_o expectation_n especial_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o friendship_n whereas_o they_o dream_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n he_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v kill_v and_o lead_v away_o captive_n whereas_o therefore_o the_o common_a tie_n of_o society_n and_o christianity_n do_v oblige_v and_o constrain_v all_o and_o every_o one_o towards_o the_o assist_a relieve_v and_o defend_v of_o the_o unjust_o oppress_v not_o doubt_v but_o this_o so_o heinous_a premeditate_a a_o conspiracy_n will_v move_v all_o good_a king_n &_o prince_n but_o especial_o your_o majesty_n so_o likewise_o have_v we_o several_a other_o reason_n motive_n induce_v and_o enforce_v we_o to_o the_o present_a undertake_n for_o beside_o the_o constant_a &_o sincere_a real_a

likewise_o both_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n &_o the_o state_n provintiall_a of_o the_o territory_n of_o holstein_n have_v in_o this_o their_o extremity_n &_o unjust_a oppression_n require_v &_o demand_v of_o we_o that_o lawful_a defensive_a help_n which_o they_o may_v just_o expect_v moreover_o as_o concern_v holstein_n the_o westphalian_a peace_n of_o the_o empire_n and_o the_o other_o

be_v design_v for_o and_o acquire_v by_o our_o predecessor_n and_o ourselves_o and_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o our_o successor_n which_o if_o we_o shall_v wilful_o permit_v to_o be_v alienate_v and_o

break_v the_o same_o again_o who_o most_o unjust_o oppress_v his_o neighbour_a king_n and_o prince_n who_o engage_v his_o public_a faith_n but_o as_o public_o infringe_v the_o same_o again_o who_o
