The Bishop's father was a knight and
his son a Baronet.] an old good man, that they say made an
excellent sermon. He was by birth a Catholique, and a great
gallant, having 1500l. per annum patrimony, and is a Knight
Barronet: was turned from his persuasion by the late Archbishop
Laud. He and the Bishop of Exeter, Dr. Ward, are the two Bishops
that the King do say he cannot have bad sermons from. Here I met
with Sir H. Cholmly, who tells me, that undoubtedly my Lord
Bellasses do go no more to Tangier, and that he do believe he do
stand in a likely way to go governor; though he sees and showed
me a young silly lord (one Lord Allington [William 2nd Baron
Allington of Killard, Ireland, created an English Peer 1682;
which title was extinct 1692. He was thrice married.]) who hath
offered a great sum of money to go, and will put hard for it, he
having a fine lady, and a great man would be glad to have him out
of the way. The King is very kind to my Lord Sandwich, and did
himself observe to him (Sir G. Carteret) how those very people
(meaning the Prince, and Duke of Albemarle) are punished in the
same kind as they did seek to abuse my Lord Sandwich.
