The great discourse now is, that
the Parliament shall be dissolved and another called, which shall
give the King the Dean and Chapter's lands; and that will put him
out of debt. And it is said that Buckingham do knowingly meet
daily with Wildman and other Commonwealth-men; and that when he
is with them he makes the King believe that he is with his
wenches. And something looks like the Parliament's being
dissolved, by Harry Brouncker's being now come back, and
appearing this day the first day at White Hall; but he hath not
been yet with the King, but is secure that he shall be well
received, I hear. God bless us when such men as he shall be
restored! But that that pleases me most is, that several do tell
me that Pen is to be removed; and others that he hath resigned
his place; and particularly Spragg tells me for certain that he
hath resigned it, and is become a partner with Gauden in the
Victualling: in which I think he hath done a very cunning thing;
but I am sure I am glad of it; and it will be well for the King
to have him out of this office.
