Excerpt and summary of Peder Vibe's letter to the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, dated February 28/March 9 (Old Style), 1640

The letter summary:

... [Nyköping] den 28 Februari 1640. Enkedrottningen har blifvit sjuk. Det synes "som Gud genom extra ordinära medel vill hindra hennes resa, då goda råd icke kunna göra det."

With modernised spelling:

... [Nyköping], den 28 februari 1640. Änkedrottningen har blivit sjuk. Det synes »som Gud genom extraordinära medel vill hindra hennes resa, då goda råd icke kunna göra det.«

English translation (my own):

... Nyköping, February 28, 1640. The Dowager Queen has fallen ill. It seems "that God wants to prevent her journey by extraordinary means, when good counsel cannot do it."
