A LETTER OF KING SIGISMOND a.d. 



1559- 

 which our admonition divers princes already content 

 themselves, and abstaine from the Narve. The others 

 that will not abstaine from the sayd voyage shalbe 

 impeached by our navie, and incurre the danger of losse 

 of life, liberty, wife and children. Now therfore if the 

 subjects of your Majesty will forbeare this voyage to 

 Narve, there shalbe nothing denied to them of us. Let 

 your Majesty well weigh and consider the reasons & 

 occasions of our stopping of ships going to the Narve. 

 In which stopping, our subjects of Danske be in no fault, 

 as we have already written to your Majesty, neither use 

 we their counsell in the same. In any other matter, if 

 there be any fault in them against your Majesty or your 

 subjects, we will gladly do justice upon them, that your 

 Majesty may well understand that we be carefull of 

 you and your subjects. Neither thinke we it meet to 

 take Hamburgh, or any other place to judge the matter : 

 for we have our councell & judgement seat at Rie, 

 where your Majesty & your subjects, or any other, shal 

 have justice administred unto them, with whom we 

 have had ancient league and amity. And thus much 

 we have thought good to let your Majesty understand. 

 Fare ye well. Dated the sixt of December the 39 of 

 our reigne. 



Sigismundus Augustus Rex.
