The letter excerpt:

Den 20de Novbr. ... "Hr. Corf. Ulfeldt lader giøre her 30 Kollerter, hvormed han uden Tvivl vil klæde en Guarde. Een sagde mig for nogle Dage siden, at man i Danmark havde Behov at see sig for, fordi Hr. C. U. raadede Dronningen meget til Krig mod Danmark, og tilbød at forstrække saa mange Penge dertil behøves."

"Dronningen haver forleden Uge havt nogle af de Deputerede af Stænderne for sig, og foreholdt dem hvad god Middel her nu var til at betale Holland den store Uret, denne Krone er skeet af Redemptions-Tractaten. Jeg troer dog ikke, at Sverrige noget begynder, uden at man mærker, at England havde avantage." — "Dronningen har sagt til M. Bøning, at det var godt, at Danmark, Sverrige og Holland giorde en alliance sammen; men har siden Intet mere derom talt, men vel foreslaaet at det var bedst at accordere Holland og England, og at siden Sverrige og Holland sluttede en god alliance sammen, hvorudi man siden kunde includere Holland."

With modernised spelling:

Den 20. november. ... "Hr. Corfitz Ulfeldt lader gøre her 30 kollerter, hvormed han uden tvivl vil klæde en garde. Én sagde mig for nogle dage siden, at man i Danmark havde behov at se sig for, fordi Hr. C. U. rådede dronningen meget til krig mod Danmark, og tilbød at forstrække så mange penge dertil behøves."

"Dronningen haver forleden uge havt nogle af de deputerede af Stænderne for sig, og foreholdt dem hvad god middel her nu var til at betale Holland den store uret, denne Krone er sket af redemptionstraktaten. Jeg tror dog ikke, at Sverige noget begynder, uden at man mærker, at England havde avantage." — "Dronningen har sagt til monsieur Bøning, at det var godt, at Danmark, Sverige og Holland gjorde en alliance sammen; men har siden intet mere derom talt, men vel foreslået at det var bedst at akkordere Holland og England, og at siden Sverige og Holland sluttede en god alliance sammen, hvorudi man siden kunne inkludere Holland."

English translation (my own):

November 20. ... "Lord Corfitz Ulfeldt is having 30 collars made here, with which he will no doubt dress a guard. Someone told me a few days ago that people in Denmark needed to watch out because Lord C. U. much advised the Queen to war against Denmark and offered to advance as much money as was needed for it."

"Last week the Queen had some of the deputies of the Estates before her and put before them what good means there was now to pay Holland the great injustice this Crown has been caused by the redemption treaty. I do not think, however, that Sweden will start anything, without one noticing that England had an advantage." — "The Queen has told Lord Beuning that it was good that Denmark, Sweden and Holland made an alliance together; but she has since said nothing more about it, but has suggested that it was best to accord Holland and England, and that Sweden and Holland then made a good alliance together, in which Holland could afterwards be included."
