English translation (my own):
... Stockholm, October 16, 1652. Envy between the triumvirs Ulfeldt, Radziejowski and Pimentel. — Bengt Skytte in disgrace. — Småland rebellious, the treasure emptied. — Ulfeldt got Wollin as collateral. — One wanted to take Denmark with 4,000 men.
Note: Wollin is the German name for the Polish island of Wolin and a town on it, in the Baltic Sea.
