]) and the Archbishop of
Canterbury and my Lord Bridgewater. He tells me that this is
true, only the Duke of York do endeavour to hinder it, and the
Duke of York himself did tell him so; that the King and the Duke
of York do not in company disagree, but are friendly; but that
there is a core in their hearts, he doubts, which is not to be
easily removed; for these men so suffer only for their constancy
to the Chancellor, or at least from the King's ill-will against
him. He do suggest that something is intended for the Duke of
Monmouth, and, it may be, against the Queene also: that we are
in no manner sure against an invasion the next year: that the
Duke of Buckingham do rule all now, and the Duke of York comes
indeed to the Caball, but signifies little there. That this new
faction do not endure, nor the King; Sir W. Coventry; but yet
that he is so usefull that they cannot be without him; but that
he is not now called to the Caball. That my Lord of Buckingham,
Bristoll, and Arlington do seem to agree in these things; but
that they do not in their hearts trust one another, but do drive
several ways all of them.
