Pepys, Samuel, 1633-1703

"The Diary of Samuel Pepys"

That his Majesty had chosen the best place,
Scheveling, for his embarking, and that there is nothing in the
world of which he is more ambitions, than to have the honour of
attending his Majesty, which he hoped would be speedy. That he
had commanded the vessel to attend at Helversluce till this
gentleman returns, that so if his Majesty do not think it fit to
command the fleete himself, yet that he may be there to receive
his commands and bring them to his Lordship. He ends his letter,
that he is confounded with the thoughts of the high expressions
of love to him in the King's letter, and concludes,
"Your most loyall, dutifull, faithfull and obedient subject and
servant, "E.M."
After supper at the table in the coach, my Lord talking
concerning the uncertainty of the places of the Exchequer to them
that had them now; he did at last think of an office which do
belong to him in case the King do restore every man to his places
that ever had been patent, which is to be one of the clerks of
the signet, which will be a fine employment for one of his sons.
