Edwd. Montagu. Found
the King in the Park. There walked. Gallantly great.
11th. With my Lord to Dorset House to the Chancellor. [Dorset-
House, in Salisbury Court, at this time occupied by the
Chancellor, once the residence of the Bishops of Salisbury, one
of whom (Jewel) alienated it to the Sackville-family. The house
being afterwards pulled down, a theatre was built on its site, in
which the Duke of York's troop performed.]
13th. By water with my Lord in a boat to Westminster, and to the
Admiralty, now in a new place.
15th. My Lord told me how the King has given him the place of
the great Wardrobe.
16th. To my Lord, and so to White Hall with him about the Clerk
of the Privy Seale's place, which he is to have. Then to the
Admiralty, where I wrote some letters. Here Coll. Thompson told
me, as a great secret, that the Nazeby was on fire when the King
was there, but that is not known; when God knows it is quite
false.
17th (Lord's day). To Mr. Messinn's; a good sermon. This day
the organs did begin to play at White Hall before the King.
