a-year to quit it; whereof
since it is come to light that they were to have but 800l. and
himself 700l., which the Duke of York hath ever since for some
years paid, though the second bargain hath been broken, and the
Duke of York lost by it half of what the first was. He told me
that there had been a seeming accommodation between the Duke of
York and the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Arlington, the two
latter desiring it; but yet that there is not true agreement
between them, but they do labour to bring in all new creatures
into play, and the Duke of York do oppose it. Thence, he gone, I
to the Queene's chapel, and there heard some good singing; and so
to White Hall, and saw the King and Queene at dinner: and thence
with Sir Stephen Fox to dinner; and the Cofferer with us; and
there mighty kind usage and good discourse. Thence spent all the
afternoon walking in the Park, and then in the evening at Court
on the Queene's side; and there met Mr. Godolphin, who tells me
that the news is true we heard yesterday of my Lord Sandwich's
being come to Mount's-bay, in Cornwall.
