This day I hear at dinner that Don John of Austria, since
his flight out of Portugall, is dead of his wounds: so there is
a great man gone, and a great dispute like to be indeed for the
crown of Spayne, if the King should, have died before him. My
cousin Roger told us the whole passage of my Lord Digby to-day,
much as I have said here above; only that he did say that he
would draw his sword against the Pope himself, if he should offer
any thing against his Majesty, and the good of these nations; and
that he never was the man that did either look for a Cardinal's
cap for himself, or any body else, meaning Abbot Montagu:
[Walter, second son to the first Earl of Manchester, embracing
the Catholic religion while on his travels, was made abbot of
Ponthoise through the influence of Mary de' Medici: he
afterwards became Almoner to the Queen-Dowager of England: and
died 1670.] and the House upon the whole did vote Sir Richard
Temple innocent; and that my Lord Digby hath cleared the honour
of His Majesty, and Sir Richard Temple's, and given perfect
satisfaction of his own respects to the House.
