The Manner of Dispossessing and Re∣storing the Duke of Holstein Got∣torp.
ANY one who reads this, and the foregoing Chapter will see, the Authors partiality for the Duke of Holstein: He seems to have un∣dertaken his Cause, and to display it in all its best Colours and Bright∣ness.
It were an easy thing, in an∣swer to all this, to transcribe the King of Danmark's Manifesto upon this occasion, which those who are curious may consult if they please, it having been spread about all Germa∣ny. But I shall avoid meddling with any Justification of the King of Dan∣mark upon this Account: The rea∣son is, because there is at present an intire Reconciliation between the King and his Brother-in law the Duke; and last year they met to∣gether with great Friendship in Hol∣stein. Now Reconciliation clears up a thousand things, which Distru••••, Jealousy, or Misunderstanding may have cast before one: What here••o∣fore may have seem'd unkind or un∣just, then will appear to have been necessary; but especially upon th•• renewing of Friendship, there should be no Justification of former Pro∣ceedings made by either Party; for such Justification shows as if the breach were not thoroughly repair'd, and will give a handle for future di∣sputes and difficulties: Since no re∣concilement
will be perfect, but such as carries along with it an entire ob∣livion of past differences, and all their circumstances.
