A political pamphlet written as a popular dialogue between a (moderate) Hollander and an (uncompromising) Zeelander who happen to meet each other and discuss the peace negotiations that were to lead to the Twelve Years' Truce in 1609. The Zeelander asks if the Hollander has news of the peace negotiations. While the Hollander hopes for a quick settlement, the Zeelander puts more emphasis on a favourable and lasting peace.
