Thence to White Hall, where the Duke of York expected me; and in
his closet Wren and I. He did tell me how the King hath been
acquainted with the Treasurers' discourse at the Lords
Commissioners of the Treasury the other day, and is dissatisfied
with our running him in debt; which I removed. And he did carry
me to the King, and I did satisfy him also: but his satisfaction
is nothing worth, it being easily got and easily removed. But I
do purpose to put it in writing, that shall make the Treasurers
ashamed. But the Duke of York is horrid angry against them; and
he hath cause, for they do work all they can to bring dishonour
upon his management, as do plainly appear in all they do. Having
done with the Duke of York, who do repose all in me, I with Mr.
Wren to his chamber to talk; where he observed, that these people
are all of them a broken sort of people that have not much to
lose, and therefore will venture all to make their fortunes
better: that Sir Thomas Osborne is a beggar, having 11 or 1200l.
