Carteret, and Lord Barkeley, saying all of them that my Lord
Ashly would not be got to yield it, who is Treasurer of the
Prizes: Sir W. Coventry did plainly desire that it might be
declared whether the proceeds of the prizes were to go to the
helping on of the war, or no; and if it were, how then this could
be denied. Which put them all into another stound; and it is
true, God forgive us! Thence to the chapel, and there by chance
hear that Dr. Crewe is to preach; and so into the organ loft,
where I met Mr. Carteret, and my Lady Jemimah, and Sir Thomas
Crewe's two daughters, and Dr. Childe playing: and Dr. Crewe did
make a very pretty, neat, sober, honest sermon; and delivered it
very readily, decently, and gravely, beyond his years: so as I
was exceedingly taken with it, and I believe the whole chapel, he
being but young; but his manner of his delivery I do like
exceedingly. His text was, "But first seek the kingdom of God,
and all things shall be added unto you." The Dutch letters are
come, and say that the Dutch have ordered a passe to be sent for
our Commissioners, and that it is now upon the way coming with a
trumpeter blinded, as is usual.
