He and I did bemoan our public condition. He tells me the Duke
of Albemarle is under a cloud, and they have a mind at Court to
lay him aside. This I know not; but all things are not right
with him: and I am glad of it, but sorry for the time.
11th. MEMORANDUM. I had taken my Journal during the fire and
the disorders following in loose papers until this very day, and
could not get time to enter them in my book till January 18, in
the morning, having made my eyes sore by frequent attempts this
winter to do it. But now it is done; for which I thank God, and
pray never the like occasion may happen.
12th. The House have cut us off 150,000l. of our wear and tear,
for that which was saved by the King while the fleet lay in
harbour in winter. However, he seems pleased, and so am I, that
they have abated no more: and do intend to allow of 28,000 men
for the next year; and this day have appointed to declare the sum
they will give the King, and to propose the way of raising it; so
that this is likely to be the great day.
13th.
