17th. I to the Duke of York's lodging, where in his dressing-
chamber, he talking of his journey to-morrow or next day to
Harwich, to prepare some fortifications there; so that we are
wholly upon the defensive part this year. I to walke in the
Parke; where to the Queene's chapel, and there heard a fryer
preach with his cord about his middle in Portuguese, something I
could understand, showing that God did respect the meek and
humble as well as the high and rich. He was full of action, but
very decent and good, I thought, and his manner of delivery very
good. Then I went back to White Hall, and there up to the
closet, and spoke with several people till sermon was ended,
which was preached by the Bishop of Hereford, [Dr. Herbert Croft
was made Bishop of Hereford 1661, but he could not then be very
old, as he lived till 1691.
