adam, to go from hence to Pomerland? _Qu._ My intentions are to go presently, after my resignation, to the Spa; but wheresoever I am, you have a true friend of me. _Wh._ There is no person alive more cordially your Majesty's servant than I am. _Qu._ I do believe it, or else I should not have communicated to you such things as I have done. _Wh._ Your Majesty hath therein expressed much confidence in me, which I hope shall never deceive you, however my want of abilities may not answer your Majesty's favours to me. _Qu._ I have no doubt of your faithfulness, and you have sufficiently manifested your abilities. Give me leave to trouble you with the company of a gentleman, my servant, whom I purpose to send over with you to England, to take care for those things which I desire to have from thence. _Wh._ He shall be very welcome to me and my company, and I shall give him my best assistance for your Majesty's service. _Qu._ I shall thank you for it, and command him to obey your directions. _Wh._ Madam, if you please to accept a set of black English horses for your coach, I shall take the boldness to send them to your stables; and pray your Majesty that the Master of your Horse may furnish me for my journey to Stockholm. _Qu._ I do thankfully accept your kindness, and all mine are at your service. _Wh._ I have interrupted your Majesty too long. I desired the favour of this opportunity to present my most humble thanks to your Majesty for all your noble favours to me and my company. _Qu._ I entreat your excuse for the meanness of my presents. I could not do therein what I desired, nor after your merit. _Wh._ Madam, there is nothing of my merit to be alleged; but your Majesty hath testified much honour to the Protector and Commonwealth whom I serve. _Qu._ England is a noble country, and your master is a gallant man. I desire you to assure him, on my part, of all affection and respect towards him. _Wh._ Your Majesty may be confident of the like from his Highness; and your humble servant will heartily pray for your Majesty's prosperity, wherever you are. _Qu._ I wish you a happy voyage and return to your own country. After he came from the Queen, Whitelocke met with the Baron Steinberg, Master of her Horse, whom he acquainted with what he had moved to her Majesty, and he was very forward to accommodate Whitelocke.
