He was to recal to Philip's memory the frequent exhortations made by the Emperor concerning the policy pursued in the Netherlands. He was to mention the urgent interpellations made to him by the electors and princes of the Empire in their recent embassy.
It is curious that John is the only one to tell both stories: so curious that both stories look like interpellations.
