There is no great Trade drove in Denmark but there is a fine Revenue arising from the Customs which the Merchandizes pay that pass through the Streight of the Sound the Key of the Baltick-Sea This Streight is a Mile in breadth and the Course which the Ships there steer with the most safety and conveniency is nearer Cronembourg than Elsenbourg which belongs to the Crown of Sueden This Revenue is no longer so considerable since the Suedes do not pay there now what they did formerly and it would be less if the design was brought about that has been entertain'd of joyning the Baltick Sea to the Elve by the Lake of Swerin if the transportation of Commodities be continued by Land from Hambourg to Lubeck and if the Elector of Brandenbourg brings to perfection the Chanel which he has begun at

the Belt Schonen was yielded up to the Crown of Sueden by the late Treaties of Peace Jutland was the abode of Cimbres who have made Conquest in most of the Regions of Europe and who before they were defeated by Marius gave furious Alarums to the Romans There is somewhat Martial found at this day in the Danish Ladies they love Hunting and receive at Table rather than in their Chambers those persons who make 'em visits In Jutland there be four Diocesses towards the North Ripen Arhusen Alborg Viborg two Dutchies towards the South Sleswick and Holstein Those who inhabit near the Coast are

Cattel Frederic-Ode which is now called Frederic for the rendring the termination of it the more different from that of Frederick-Ohrt in Holstein is in so important a situation that Charles Gustavus King of Sueden having taken it in the late Wars had then the means of making his Army pass over the Ice into all the Neighbouring Islands and go give the Alarum to Copenhagen which was an Action as bold as that never the like was heard of this Prince made the Cavalry march and lead the Artillery over great Arms of the Sea where before a Man on foot would have been afraid of venturing himself
