That he
believes it is impossible these two great men can hold together
long; or, at least, that the ambition of the former is so great
that he will endeavour to master all, and bring into play as many
as he can. That Anglesy will not lose his place easily, but will
contend in law with whoever comes to execute it. That the Duke
of York, in all things but in his amours, is led by the nose by
his wife. That Sir W. Coventry is now by the Duke of York made
friends with the Duchesse; and that he is often there, and waits
on her. That he do believe that these present great men will
break in time, and that Sir W. Coventry will be a great man
again; for he do labour to have nothing to do in matters of the
State, and is so usefull to the side that he is on, that he will
stand, though at present he is quite out of play. That my Lady
Castlemaine hates the Duke of Buckingham. That the Duke of York
hath expressed himself very kind to my Lord Sandwich; which I am
mighty glad of. That we are to expect more changes if these men
stand.
