this place; but to submit, to it the rather becaus our Baggage
was not come up to us, for want of horses, with which Mr.
Stapylton continued, and took extraordinary pains and
care, and endured many hardships in his attendance upon
that charge.
Tuesday morning we went from thence towards Upsall,
the weather continuing extream hard; half a league before
we came to Town, the Master of the Ceremonies met his
Excellency, and told him that the Queen had sent him to
congratulate his safe arrival, and to conduct him to Upsall:
about a quarter of a League from the Town, two, Senators
met his Excellency, that is, two of the Councel of
State, they spake to him in the Swedish Tongue to the
same effect the Master of the Ceremonies had done, as I
understood by their Interpreter; My Lord answered
them in English, that the respect which her Majesty did
bear to the Commonwealth of England, appeared in her
honourable reception of him their Servant, which he desired
to acknowledge with thanks to her Majesty; they then
brought his Excellency into a rich Coach of the Queens,
where the two Senators and Master of the Ceremonies
sate with him. There were divers other Coaches of the
Queens, with the Spanish Agents, and many Noble mens
Coaches, in all eighteen, every one with, six horses, and a
great many of the Queens servants on horse-back, they
brought my Lord to my Lodging, and then left him: the
Rooms of Entertainment, and four or five Bed-Chambers
were furnished with the Queens Hangings and Beds:
the Bed in his Excellencies Chamber richly Embroidered
with Gold; about half an hour after, came in a Gentleman
of the Bed-Chamber to my Lord, and told his Excellency
that the Queen had sent to see how he did after his
journey, to bid him welcom, and my Lord returned his
thanks to her Majesty: a little after him, Mr. Lagerfeilde
came to see my Lord and told him the Queen commanded
him to come to his Excellency, and to take care that if he
wanted any accommodation we might be supplyed.
