And
I found by the letters, and so my Lord told me too, that there
had been many letters passed between them for a great while, and
I perceive unknown to Monk. Among the rest that had carried
these letters Sir John Boys is one, and Mr. Norwood, which had a
ship to carry him over the other day, when my Lord would not have
me put down his name in the book. The King speaks of him being
courted to come to the Hague, but to desire my Lord's advice
where to come to take ship. And the Duke offers to learn the
seaman's trade of him, in such familiar words as if Jack Cole and
I had writ them. This was very strange to me, that my Lord
should carry all things so wisely and prudently as he do, and I
was over joyful to see him in so good condition, and he did not a
little please himself to tell me how he had provided for himself
so great a hold on the King.
After this to supper, and then to writing of letters till twelve
at night, and so up again at three in the morning. My Lord
seemed to put great confidence in me, and would take my advice in
many things.
