Queen MARY'S ANSWER, to the King of Denmark's LETTERS.
TO the most serene prince Christianus, by the grace of God, king of Denmark, &c. duke of Sleswick, &c. earl of Oldenburgh, &c. our most dear brother and friend. MARY, by the grace of God, queen of England, France, Naples, Jerusalem, Ireland, &c. to the most serene prince Christianus, by the same grace of God, king of Denmark, Norway, and of the Vandals; duke of Sleswick, Holston, Stormar, and Detmarsh; earl of Oldenburgh and Delmenhorst, &c. our most dear friend and brother, wisheth health and increase of prosperity. When we understood by your letters (which this messenger has brought us) your desire of obtaining leave for Mr. Coverdale to depart from our kingdom into your's, we readily granted your desire; and although he is our born subject, and is not as yet discharged from a debt which he lawfully owes to our exchequer, yet we have regarded your desire before our own debt, and shall for our mutual friendship at all times when opportunity serves endeavour to gratify your majesty. May God long preserve your serene highness in health. Given at our Court at Westminster, February, 18, 1555.
