9th. To the office, where we sat the first day since the fire.
10th. Fast-day for the fire. With Sir W. Batten by water to
White Hall, and anon had a meeting before the Duke of York, where
pretty to see how Sir W. Batten, that carried the surveys of all
the fleet with him to show their ill condition to the Duke of
York, when he found the Prince there, did not speak one word,
though the meeting was of his asking; for nothing else. And when
I asked him, he told me he knew the Prince too well to anger him,
so that he was afraid to do it. Thence with him to Westminster,
to the parish church, where the Parliament-men; and
Stillingfleete in the pulpit. So full, no standing there; so he
and I to eat herrings at the Dog Tavern. And then to church
again, and there was Mr. Frampton in the pulpit, whom they cry up
so much, a young man, and of a mighty ready tongue. I heard a
little of his sermon. Captain Cooke, who is mighty conversant
with Garraway and those people, tells me what they object as to
the mal-administration of things as to money.
