g。 And it is clear that either the Fanatiques must now be undone； or the gentry and citizens throughout England； and clergy must fall； in spite of their militia and army； which is not at all possible I think。
19th。 At dinner news brought us that my Lord was chosen at Dover。
20th。 This evening come Mr。 Boyle on board； for whom I writ an order for a ship to transport him to Flushing。 He supped with my Lord； my Lord using him as a person of honour。 Mr。 Shepley told me that he heard for certain at Dover that Mr。 Edw。 Montagu ＇Eldest son of Edward； second Lord Montagu； of Boughton； killed at Berghen； 1685。＇ did go beyond sea when he was here first the other day； and I am apt to believe that he went to speak with the King。 This day one told me how that at the election at Cambridge for knights of the shire； Wendby and Thornton by declaring to stand for the Parliament and a King and the settlement of the Church； did carry it against all expectation against Sir Dudley North and Sir Thomas Willis。 ＇Willis had represented Cambridgeshire in the preceding Parliament。＇
21st。 This day dined Sir John Boys ＇Gentleman of the Privy… Chamber。＇ and some other gentlemen formerly great Cavaliers； and among the rest one Mr。 Norwood； ＇A Major Norwood had been Governor of Dunkirk； and a person of the same name occurs； as one of the Esquires of the body at the Coronation of Charles the Second。＇ for whom my Lord give a convoy to carry him to the Brill； but he is certainly going to the King。 For my Lord commanded me that I should not enter his name in my book。 My Lord do show them and that sort of people great civility。 All their discourse and others are of the King's coming； and we begin to speak of it very freely。 And heard how in many churches in London； and upon many signs there； and upon merchants' ships in the river； they had set up the King's arms。 This night there came one with a letter from Mr。 Edw。 Montagu to my Lord； with command to deliver it to his own hands。 I do believe that he do carry some close business on for the King。 This day I had a large letter from Mr。 Moore； giving me an account of the present dispute at London that is like to be at the beginning of the Parliament； about the House of Lords； who do resolve to sit with the Commons； as not thinking themselves dissolved yet。 Which； whether it be granted or no； or whether they will sit or no； it will bring a great many inconveniences。 His letter I keep； it being a very well writ one。
22nd。 Several Londoners； strangers； friends of the captains； dined here； who； among other things told us； how the King's Arms are every day set up in houses and churches； particularly in Allhallows Church in Thames…street； John Simpson's church； which being privately done was a great eye…sore to his people when they came to church and saw it。 Also they told us for certain that the King's statue is making by the Mercers' Company （who are bound to do it） to set up in the Exchange。
23rd。 In the evening for the first time； extraordinary good sport among the seamen； after my Lord had done playing at nine… pins。
24th。 We were on board the London； which hath a state…room much bigger than the Nazeby； but not so rich。 After that； with the Captain on board our own ship； where we were saluted with the news of Lambert's being taken； which news was brought to London on Sunday last。 He was taken in Northamptonshire by Colonel Ingoldsby； in the head of a party； by which means their whole design is broke； and things now very open and safe。 And every man begins to be merry and full of hopes。 ＇Colonel Richard Ingoldsby had been Governor of Oxford under his kinsman Cromwell； and one of Charles the First's Judges； but was pardoned for the service here mentioned； and made K。B。 at the Coronation of Charles II。 He afterwards retired to his seat at Lethenborough； Bucks； and died 1685。＇
25th。 Dined to…day wth Captain Clerke on board the Speaker （a very brave ship） where was the Vice…Admiral； R。 Admiral； and many other commanders。 After dinner home； not a little contented to see how I am treated； and with what respect made a fellow to the best commander in the Fleet。
26th。 This day come Mr。 Donne back from London； who brought letters with him that signify the meeting of the Parliament yesterday。 And in the afternoon by other letters I hear； that about twelve of the Lords met and had chosen my Lord of Manchester Speaker of the House of Lords （the young Lords that never sat yet； do forbear to sit for the present）； and Sir Harbottle Grimstone； Speaker for the House of Commons； ＇He was made Master of the Rolls； November following； and died 1683。＇ which； after a little debate； was granted。 Dr。 Reynolds preached before the Commons before they sat。 My Lord told me how Sir H。 Yelverton （formerly my schoolfellow） ＇Of Easton Mauduit； Bart。； grandson to the Attorney General of both his names。 Ob。 1679。＇ was chosen in the first place for Northamptonshire and Mr。 Crewe in the second； And told me how he did believe that the Cavaliers have now the upper hand clear of the Presbyterians。
27th。 After dinner came on board Sir Thomas Hatton ＇Of Long Stanton； co。 Cambridge； Bart。＇ and Sir R。 Maleverer ＇Of Allerton Maleverer； Yorkshire； Bart。＇ going for Flushing； but； all the world know that they go where the rest of the many gentlemen go that every day flock to the King at Breda。 They supped here； and my Lord treated them as he do the rest； that go thither； with a great deal of civility。 While we were at supper a packet came； wherein much news from several friends。 The chief is that； that I had from Mr。 Moore； viz。 that he fears the Cavaliers in the House will be so high； that the other will be forced to leave the House and fall in with General Monk； and so offer things to the King so high on the Presbyterian account that he may refuse； and so they will endeavour some more mischief； but when I told my Lord it； he shook his head and told me； that the Presbyterians are deceived； for the General is certainly for the King's interest； and so they will not be able to prevail that way with him。 After supper the two knights went on board the Grantham； that is to convey them to Flushing； I am informed that the Exchequer is now so low； that there is not 20l。 there； to give the messenger that brought the news of Lambert's being taken； which story is very strange that he should lose his reputation of being a man of courage now at one blow for that he was not able to fight one stroke； but desired of Colonel Igoldsby several times to let him escape。 Late reading my letters； my mind being much troubled to think that； after all our hopes； we should have any cause to fear any more disappointments therein。
29th。 After sermon in the morning Mr。 Cooke came from London with a packet； bringing news how all the young lords that were not in arms against the Parliament do now sit。 That a letter is come from the King to the House； which is locked up by the Council 'till next Thursday that it may be read in the open House when they meet again； they having adjourned till then to keep a fast to…morrow。 And so the contents is not yet known。 13；000l。 of the 20；000l。 given to General Monk is paid out of the Exchequer； he giving 12l。 among the teller's clerks of Exchequer。 My Lord called me into the great cabbin below； where he told me that the Presbyterians are quite mastered by the Cavaliers； and that he fears Mr。 Crewe did go a little too far the other day in keeping out the young lords from a sitting。 That he do expect that the King should be brought over suddenly； without staying to make any terms at all； saying that the Presbyterians did intend to have brought him in with such conditions as if he had been in chains。 But he shook his shoulders when he told me how Monk had betrayed him； for it was he that did put them upon standing to put out the lords and other members that come not within the qualifications； which he did not like； but however he had done his business； though it be with some kind of baseness。 After dinner I walked a great while upon the deck with the chyrurgeon and purser； and other officers of the ship； and they all pray for the King's coming； which I pray God send。
MAY 1； 1660。 To…day I hear they were very merry at Deale； setting up the King's flags upon one of their Maypoles； and drinking his health upon their knees is the streets； and firing the guns； which the soldiers of the Castle threatened； but durst not oppose。
2nd。 Mr。 Dunne from London； with letters that tell us the welcome news of the Parliament's votes yesterday； which will be remembered for the happiest May…day that hath been many a year to England。 The King's letter was read in the House； wherein he submits himself and all things to them； as to an Act of Oblivion to all； unless they shall please to except any； as to the confirming of the sales of the King's and Church lands； if they see good。 The House upon reading the letter； ordered 50；000l。 to be forthwith provided to send to His Majesty for his present supply； and a committee chosen to return an answer of thanks to His Majesty for his gracious letter； and that the letter be kept among the records of the Parliament； and in all this not so much as one No。 So that Luke
