Coventry's great abilities, and how
necessary it were that I were of the House to assist him. I did
not own it, but do myself think it were not unnecessary, if
either he should die, or be removed to the Lords, or anything
happen to hinder his doing the like service the next trial; which
makes me think that it were not a thing very unfit; but I will
not move in it.
15th. Colvill tells me of the viciousness of the Court; the
contempt the King brings himself into thereby; his minding
nothing, but doing all things just as his people about him will
have it! The Duke of York becoming a slave to this Lady Denham,
and wholly minds her. That there really were amours between the
Duchesse and Sidny; that there is reason to fear that, as soon as
the Parliament have raised this money, the King will see that he
hath got all that he can get, and then make up a peace; that Sir
W. Coventry is of the caball with the Duke of York, and Brouncker
with this Lady Denham: which is a shame, and I am sorry for it,
and that Sir W. Coventry do make her visits: but yet I hope it
is not so.
