To the King's little chapel; and afterwards to see the
King heal the King's Evil (wherein no pleasure, I having seen it
before): and then to see him and the Queene and Duke of York and
his wife, at dinner in the Queene's lodgings. And so with Sir G.
Carteret to his lodgings to dinner; where very good company. And
after dinner he and I to talk alone how things are managed, and
to what ruin we must come if we have not a peace. He did tell me
one occasion, how Sir Thomas Allen (whom I took for a man of
known courage and service on the King's side) was tried for his
life in Prince Rupert's fleet, in the late times for cowardice,
and condemned to be hanged, and fled to Jerzy; where Sir G.
Carteret received him, not knowing the reason of his coming
thither; and that thereupon Prince Rupert wrote to the Queene-
Mother his dislike of Sir G. Carteret's receiving a person that
stood condemned; and so Sir C. Carteret was forced to bid him
betake himself to some other place. This was strange to me. Our
Commissioners are preparing to go to Bredah to the treaty, and do
design to be going the next week.
