coming to any end in it. There was also in the Commons' House a
great quarrel about Mr. Prin, and it was believed that he should

hurt in it. But, however, the King was fain to write in his
behalf and all was passed over. But it is worth my remembrance,
that I saw old Ryly the Herald, and his son; and spoke to his
son, who told me in very bad words concerning Mr. Prin, that the
King had given him an office of keeping the Records; but that he
never comes thither, nor had been there these six months: so
that I perceive they expect to get his employment from him.
