They intend to admit as many as will venture
their money, and so make themselves a company. 250l. is the
lowest share for every man. But I do not find that my Lord do
much like it.
4th. I and Lieut. Lambert to Westminster Abbey, where we saw Dr.
Frewen translated to the Archbishoprick of York. [Dr. Accepted
Frewen, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry.] Here I saw the
Bishops of Winchester, [Brian Duppa, translated from Salisbury.]
Bangor, [William Roberts.] Rochester, [John Warner, Ob. 1666,
aged 86.] Bath and Wells, [William Pierce, translated from
Peterborough, 1632.] and Salisbury, [Humphrey Henchman,
afterwards Bishop of London.] all in their habits, in King Henry
Seventh's chapel. But, Lord! at their going out, how people did
most of them look upon them as strange creatures, and few with
any kind of love or respect.
6th. Col. Slingsby and I at the office getting a catch ready for
the Prince de Ligne to carry his things away to-day, who is now
going home again. I was to give my Lord an account of the
stacions and victualls of the fleet, in order to the choosing of
a fleet fit for him to take to sea, to bring over the Queen.
