Description: | Utrecht.
Stephen le Sieur will declare his charge in the assembly of the three provinces at Arnhem. The States of Utrecht assemble here on Friday to prepare their resolutions and will then despatch their deputies. I pray your Lordship therefore not to defer your visit further than to Friday.
The States General write that, by express command of her Majesty (as they are informed by Ortell) his Excellency has resigned the government, and that the Queen, speaking of him to our deputies, used the words "then our governor." They also send us an extract from her Majesty's reply to our said deputies, on the negotiation for a peace. In the first place, oblivion for what is past; dismissal of foreign forces, the government to be put back into its former state, according to our ancient laws, liberties and privileges; and lastly, liberty of conscience and religion.
Noted as N. S. but endorsed "19 March 1587."
