Swedish translation (my own):

Omvändelsen av Sveriges Drottning är ingen stor sak, det vore mer betydande om hon verkligen fortfarande vore drottning; indeque haberet Roma ex quo uberius gauderet. ...

The conversion of the Queen of Sweden is not much, it would be more considerable if she were indeed still queen; indeque haberet Roma ex quo uberius gauderet. ...
