BISHOP SWEDBERG TO ROSENADLER.
who has been there for fifteen years, is now about to come home.
There are four churches there, and only three clergymen .
How soon one ofthese may sicken, and die! It would not be an
easy matter then to get a minister there ! O tempora, o mores!
I have also intended to publish a "Godly form of govern
ment," based on King David’s Psalm ci. Where shall I
send this to, in order to have it examined censorially ? This
too may in course of time be used by the women for their cakes.
If I had not written to the Queen on the subject, there would
never have been any resolution about the paper for the Bible.
She thinks a great deal of my Hymn-Book, and is anxious that
it should be sent to America. But the authorities –You
must do your best in favour of it by virtue of your office.
The gentleman of whom I wrote in my last is engaged to
be married to General Rebener’s daughter. He makes a
rich match, since there was so much delay in taking any
action upon his first proposal. My kind regards to all. Com
mending you to God, I remain to the end of my life
Your most dutiful and sincere servant,
JESPERUS SWEDBERG .

TWENTY -SECOND LETTER * OF BISHOP SWED
BERG TO JOHAN ROSENADLER.
Well-born Councillor of Chancery,
Most honoured Brother,
Her Majesty the Queen has most graciously
granted the means for publishing my America. Will you
please get the copy of the MSS. from the Queen through Lady
Duba, and give your consent, so that it may be printed? It
consists mostly of historical matters, and does not contain
anything for the censors.
Commending you to God, I remain
Your most dutiful servant,
J. SWEDBERG .
Mariestad, March 15, 1728.
