A DECLARATION OF THE KING OF DENMARK, TO THE EMPEROR, the King and State of POLAND; And his Highness the Elector of BRANENBURGH: In Relation to the Treaty Agreed and Concluded, at the Hague in Holland, On the 21 of May, 1659.  
MOST ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCES, etc.  
I Doubt not, but that you will in the highest manner Admire, when you shall understand the Treaty, lately Concluded on by the Ministers of the most Christian KING, and the PROTECTOR of England, and the Honourable LORDS, John Baron of Gaunt, John Baron of Merode, and John Baron of With, etc. Deputies of either Province: And considering that they are determined to leave Us, and to deliver Us over as a Prey to our Bloodthirsty, and unpacified Enemies of the Swedes; That is, that Generous Holland, who hath placed Us in the very middle of the Pikes, and would that We should Embrace that fair-seeming Treaty.  
Our Kingly City hath for the space of Eleven Months together been Besieged, many of Our Lands have been Incorporated, great part of Our Country spoilt to the Ground, many of my Subjects have been Murdered, and Tyrannously dealt withal; Men per force taken from their Wives, Children Estranged from their Mothers, and the most part of Our Castles, Buildings, and Houses destroyed by Fire; And that for no other Reason, but that they cannot sufficiently be satisfied with the Blood of Our People, no Consideration taken of their Oath made to Almighty God, upon that Peace which was formerly Concluded on. Finally, all this Cruelty is forgotten by Our Confederate Netherlanders, who jointly fall from Us for fear of a War with the English; And therefore Concludes such a Treaty, Giving Us a Law, without any Notice given to Us, or at least; to be Herd or Understood by Our Ministers, much less without the Consent of Our Allies, or Confederates: Likewise all this tends much to the Prejudice of their Powerful Alliance; And the many Promises by them made for Our Assistance. Now instead of Helping and Assisting Us, in bringing all Things to honourable and reasonable Conditions; They have contrary to their Promises, maintaining of their Glory, and Our Final Wellbeing, They have wholly forgotten that we ought to have good Recompense and Satisfaction, for the Firing and Plundering of Our Country, and for the Violating of Our Subjects, and Riots by them Committed; where to the Contrary, with this most cursed Cessation, they bind up Our Kingly Power and Hands, and the Hands of Your most Illustrious Highness', who jointly Depended upon those Succours which they expected from the Netherlandish Fleet, and are now dis-enabled to work out that Design, which was to Transport over Our Armies, and to Chase away Our Enemies from Our Kingly and Metropolitical CITY: What a High Blame is this, that they should both Swear and Promise Succours, not so much for Us alone, but for their own Ruin and Confusion, by the Interest of the Sound, of their own Forces, and Courageous Officers, who they have Cast into the very Throat of that Devouring Bear: All seems to leave Us, they Consent, and force all to Cease; Giving full Power and Authority to that Great Enemy, who to that End hath United all his Forces to make use of his Bloodthirsty Sword against Us, and Our Subjects. It is apparent, that God is Angry, and that he Deprives RULERS of their Understandings, to Chastise Countries for their Offences.  
Most Illustrious PRINCES, This is a great Burden, and it would have been far better for such Allies, or Confederates, not to have Incensed, or provoked Me so far as to Wage War against the Swedes. But they seem first of all to hold the Swedish Power in a Balance, and now they throw My Kingdom into his Scale, and will likewise Surrender your Highnesses Themselves to the Power of the Swedes; Intending to make an Agreement apart with the CROWN and STATE of POLAND: And to the Contrary will Beneficiate the Swede with such Treaties as shall possess Them of the Sound, and so Consequently to make Him sole LORD of EUROPE.  
May it please your Highnesses to take Notice, how Heinous a Thing this is in the Eyes of God, and how Destructive it is. Such a Work and Cessation hath been made, and Concluded on, by the Deputies of the LORDS the States in Holland: And yet it hath been worse Acted in ENGLAND, by their Ambassador Nieuport, who hath Commanded the Holland's ADMIRAL to prolong the said Cessation for Three Weeks; who hath Obliged Himself in ENGLAND, to cause the same to be Ratified and Approved of, by his Masters and Principals: Insomuch, that now the Netherlandish Power, which is so Burdensome to their Own Inhabitants, that it is now become Noisome; And in the mean time, the Swedes lay Hold of All.  
Your Highnesses may be pleased to take the Premises into your Mature Considerations, and to continue and remain Obliged to your Oaths and Fidelities, to Maintain and Uphold Unity, and with all Speed to Agitate therein, according to the Designs Contained in these Characters herewith going: Not doubting, that although Holland leaves Us so absurdly, and that They Oblige Themselves by the said Treaty, upon the Refusal of Our Acceptance, of the Agreement by Them made, in Lieu of the Assistance which They have Sworn unto Us, to force Us to it with their Fleet, but that the Almighty will Himself Fight for Us in Defence of Our Good Cause, who will Crown your Sacred and Anointed Heads with Triumphant Victory and Glory, and I, as David, and a Person left Destitute, shall with my Citizens Humble Ourselves before that Great God, and Depend upon Him alone, and then We shall in his most Holy Name Go Out, against that Swedish GOLIA; And if it should please God, that We Fall by the Sword, Our Wives shall set the City on Fire of all Sides, and shall departed from thence with the remaining Ships, where Christ in his Mercy shall Conduct Them, who will take your Serene Highness' into his most holy Protection, etc.  
Given at Our Court at Coppenhagen, the 24 June, 1659.
