Jag don Antonio Pimentel de Prado, den katolske konungens legat, var ett vittne och skrev under den.
Jag Lucas Holstenius, kanon vid Peterskyrkan, accepterade detta bekännelse och skrev under den.
... I Kristi namn, amen. Under 1655:e året efter samma välgörande inkarnation, i sanning åttonde kvartalet, den tredje dagen i november, under det första året av den Heligaste Faderns pontifikat i Kristus, Vår Herre Alexander VII, av gudomlig försyn, påve; i Innsbruck, i Brixens stift, omkring middagstid, i Heliga Korsets ärkekyrka, före högaltaret, gjorde den durchlauchtigste frun Kristina, född Sveriges drottning osv, efter att där personligen utnämnts, gjorde denna tecknad bekännelse av den katolska tron frivilligt och med ett välöverlagt sinne, knästående och med en klar röst, och i närvaro av de ovannämnda vittnen till lokalerna som bads om att vara närvarande inför kyrkan, yttrade hon och rörde vid de heliga evangelierna.
Efter att ha avlagt vilken trosbekännelse den förr lovade durchlauchtigaste fru drottning, och den durchlauchtigaste och vördigaste herr Lucas Holstenius, basilikanik, prins av Stadens apostlar, och förtrolig och ständig kommensal av Vår Allraheligaste Herre, har nådigast bett mig, undertecknade notarie, att upprätta ett eller flera offentliga dokument till det eviga minnet av ovanstående.
Och eftersom jag, den nedan nämnde publike notarien, var närvarande tillsammans med vittnena vid den katolska trons bekännelse av den durchlauchtigaste fru Kristina osv., utförd av den tidigare nämnda, durchlauchtigaste och vördigaste herr Holstenius, i den romerska Apostoliska Stolens namn och för dess räkning, i enlighet med den föreskrivna riten vid det Heliga Konciliet i Trient, i kraft av den apostoliska delegationen som mottagit den, har jag sett och hört bekännelsen och de sålunda gjorda underskrifterna.
I tro härpå har jag upprättat detta offentliga dokument, skrivit det, undertecknat det med min egen hand, publicerat det och, om det krävdes, bekräftat det med min vanliga notarieunderteckning. Daterad enligt ovan.

Till bevis härpå har vi beordrat att denna handling skall meddelas med det ärkehertigliga sigillet. Utfärdat i Innsbruck, den åttonde november år 1655.
