The postscript (with Kristina's handwriting in italics):

1674. 24. Nov[embr]e. — Jo Sono d'opinione che la Danemarca ingannerà li nuoui, e non li vecchij Suoi Collegati, e crédo non ingannarmi —

li novi Collegati vogliono dir la Suetia et francia con li quali si diretta Che si trataua in Danimarca [...]

With modernised spelling:

1674, 24 novembre. —

Io sono d'opinione che la Danimarca ingannerà li nuovi, e non li vecchi, suoi collegati, e credo non ingannarmi. —

Li nuovi collegati vogliono dir la Svezia e Francia, con li quali si diretta che si trattava in Danimarca. [...]

Arckenholtz's transcript of the postscript (in his French translation from Italian):

Je suis d'opinion que le Dannemarc trompera les nouveaux Alliés, (la Suède & la France) mais pas ses anciens Alliés; & je crois que je ne me tromperai pas.

Swedish translation (my own):

Jag är av den åsikten att Danmark kommer att lura de nya allierade, men inte sina gamla allierade; och jag tror att jag inte kommer att ta fel.

English translation (my own):

I am of the opinion that Denmark will deceive the new allies, but not its old allies; and I believe that I will not be mistaken.

French translation of the original (my own):

1674, le 24 novembre. —

Je suis d'opinion que le Danemark trompera ses nouveaux alliés, et non ses anciens, et je crois ne pas me tromper. —

Par les nouveaux alliés, on veut dire la Suède et la France, avec lesquelles on traitait, disait-on, en Danemark. [...]

Danish translation of the original (my own):

1674, den 24. november. —

Jeg er af den mening, at Danmark vil bedrage sine nye allierede, og ikke sine gamle, og jeg tror ikke, jeg tager fejl. —

Med de nye allierede menes Sverige og Frankrig, med hvem man sagde man trakterede i Danmark. [...]

Swedish translation of the original (my own):

1674, den 24 november. —

Jag är av den meningen att Danmark kommer att lura sina nya allierade, och inte sina gamla, och jag tror att jag inte har fel. —

Med de nya allierade menas Sverige och Frankrike, med vilka man sade att man trakterade i Danmark. [...]

English translation of the original (my own):

1674, November 24. —

I am of the opinion that Denmark will deceive its new allies, and not its old ones, and I believe I am not mistaken. —

By the new allies Sweden and France are meant, with whom it was said one was treating in Denmark. [...]
