D., Professor of Physic,
and Anatomy Lecturer at Oxford, for which University he was
chosen Member 1660, and afterwards, knighted and made Warden of
Merton College.] but what he is I know not. Here much
extraordinary noble discourse of foreign princes, and
particularly the greatness of the King of France, and of his
being fallen into the right way of making the kingdom great. I
was mightily pleased with this company and their discourse.
6th. To see Roger Pepys at his lodgings next door to Arundell-
house, a barber's. And there I did see a book, which my Lord
Sandwich hath promised one to me of, "A Description of the
Escuriall in Spain;" which I have a great desire to have, though
I took it for a finer book when he promised it me.
9th. The Duke of York told me that Sir W. Pen had been with him
this morning to ask whether it would be fit for him to sit at the
office now, because of his resolution to be gone and to become
concerned in the Victualling. The Duke of York answered, Yes,
till his contract was signed. Thence I to Lord Sandwich's, and
there to see him; but was made to stay very long, as his best
friends are, and when I came to him had little pleasure, his head
being full of his own business, I think.
