29th. To Dr. Turberville's, and there did receive a direction
for some physic, and also a glass of something to drop into my
eyes: he gives me hopes that I may do well. Then to White Hall;
where I find the Duke of York in the Council-chamber; and the
officers of the Navy were called in about Navy business, about
calling in of more ships; the King of France having, as the Duke
of York says, ordered his fleet to come in, notwithstanding what
he had lately ordered for their staying abroad. Thence to the
chapel, it being St. Peter's day, and did hear an anthem of Silas
Taylor's making; a dull, old-fashioned thing of six and seven
parts, that nobody could understand: and the Duke of York, when
he came out, told me that he was a better storekeeper than
anthem-maker, and that was bad enough too. This morning Mr. May
showed me the King's new buildings at White Hall, very fine; and
among other things, his cielings and his houses of office.
JULY 1, 1668. To White Hall, and so to St. James's where we met;
and much business with the Duke of York.
