The postscript:
... Florent. CIϽIϽCLII. Kal. Sept.
De rationibus, quas a me petat regina, quam splendidum sit mendacium, agnoscere ex ipsius Dominae epistolâ potuisti, petit enim, ut significem, quid de mea pecuniâ expenderim: quod & indicavi. Inquire quaeso in mendacii auctorem.
With modernised spelling:
... Florentiæ. 1652. Kalendæ septembris.
De rationibus, quas a me petat regina, quam splendidum sit mendacium, agnoscere ex ipsius Dominæ epistolâ potuisti, petit enim, ut significem, quid de mea pecuniâ expenderim; quod et indicavi. Inquire quæso in mendacii auctorem.
French translation (my own):
... Florence. 1652. Les calendes de septembre.
... Parmi les raisons que la reine exige de moi, à quel point c'est un mensonge splendide, vous pouvez le reconnaître dans la propre lettre de Madame, car elle me demande de déclarer ce que je dépenserai de mon argent, ce que j'ai déjà dit. Veuillez enquêter sur l'auteur du mensonge.
Swedish translation (my own):
... Florens. 1652. Kalends i september.
... Av de skäl som drottningen kräver av mig, hur praktfull lögn det är, kunde Ni känna igen av Fruns eget brev, ty hon ber mig att deklarera vad jag skall spendera av mina pengar, vilket jag redan sagt. Jag ber Er undersöka författaren till lögnen.
English translation (my own):
... Florence. 1652. The Kalends of September.
... Of the reasons which the Queen demands of me, how splendid a lie it is, you could recognise from the Lady's own letter, for she asks me to declare what I shall spend of my money, which I have already said. Please investigate the author of the lie.
