About noon
my Lord, having taken leave of the King in the Shield Gallery,
(where I saw with what kindnesse the King did hugg my Lord at his
parting,) I went over with him and saw him in his coach at
Lambeth and there took leave of him, he going to the Downes.
5th. Great newes now-a-day of the Duke d'Anjou's desire to marry
the Princesse Henrietta. [Only brother to Louis XIV.; became
Duke of Orleans on the death of his uncle.] Hugh Peters is said
to be taken. The Duke of Gloucester is ill, and it is said it
will prove the small-pox.
13th. This day the Duke of Gloucester died of the small-pox by
the great negligence of the doctors.
15th. To Westminster, where I met with Dr. Castles, who chidd me
for some error in our Privy-Seale business; among the rest, for
letting the fees of the six judges pass unpaid, which I know not
what to say to, till I speak to Mr. Moore. I was much troubled,
for fear of being forced to pay the money myself. Called at my
father's going home, and bespoke mourning for myself, for the
death of the Duke of Gloucester.
