The letter:
Letters from Rome tells us, that the pope did continue his noble entertainments towards queen Christina, so far as to propound unto her the opening of the holy gate, as did heretofore Paul the third, to receive and honour the emperor Charles the fifth; and that she was daily feasted by all princes and grandees. That the embassador of Portugal had so far prevailed with his holiness, that his demands had almost been granted; and that his said holiness did much approve, that the cardinal of Retz should keep only the name of archbishop of Paris; and that the functions should be perform'd by a great vicar, as long as he should be in the king's disfavour.
