command； who； I thank him； did of himself think of doing it； to do me a kindness； for he writ a letter himself to him； thanking him for his kindness to me。 This evening come Dr。 Clarges； to Deal； going to the King； where the towns…people strewed the streets with herbes against his coming； for joy of his going。 Never was there so general a content as there is now。 I cannot but remember that our parson did； in his prayer to…night； pray for the long life and happiness of our King and dread Soveraigne； that may last as long as the sun and moon endureth。
6th。 It fell very well to…day； a stranger preached here for Mr。 Ibbot； one Mr。 Stanley； who prayed for King Charles； by the Grace of God； &c。； which gave great contentment to the gentlemen that were on board here； and they said they would talk of it； when they come to Breda； as not having it done yet in London so publickly。 After they were gone from on board； my Lord writ a letter to the King and give it me to carry privately to Sir William Compton； on board the Assistance； ＇Sir William Compton； third son of Spencer； Earl of Northampton； a Privy Counsellor and Master of the ordnance； ob。 1663； aged 39。＇ which I did； and after a health to his Majesty on board there； I left them under sail for Breda。
7th。 My Lord went this morning about the flag…ships in a boat； to see what alterations there must be； as to the armes and flags。 He did give me orders also to write for silk flags and scarlett waistcloathes。 ＇Clothes hung about the cage…work of a ship's hull to protect the men in action。＇ For a rich barge； for a noise of trumpets； and a set of fidlers。 Very great deal of company come to…day； among others Mr。 Bellasses； ＇Henry； eldest son of Lord Bellasis； made K。B。 at Charles the Second's Coronation。＇ Sir Thomas Lenthropp； Sir Henry Chichley； Colonel Philip Honiwood； and Captain Titus； ＇Colonel Silas Titus； Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles II。； author of 〃Killing no Murder。〃＇ the last of whom my Lord showed all our cabbins； and I suppose he is to take notice what room there will be for the King's entertainment。
8th。 My letters to…day tell me how it was intended that the King should be Proclaimed to…day in London； with a great deal of pomp。 I had also news who they are that are chosen of the Lords and Commons to attend the King。 And also the whole story of what we did the other day in the fleet； at reading of the King's declaration； and my name at the bottom of it。
9th。 Up very early； writing a letter to the King； as from the two Generals of the fleet； in answer to his letter to them； wherein my Lord do give most humble thanks for his gracious letter and declaration； and promises all duty and obedience to him。 This letter was carried this morning to Sir Peter Killigrew； ＇Knight； of Arwenach； Cornwall； M。P。 for Camelford； 1660。＇ who come hither this morning early to bring an order from the Lords House to my Lord； giving him power to write an answer to the King。 This morning my Lord St。 John and other persons of honour were here to see my Lord； and so away to Flushing。 As we were sitting down to dinner； in comes Noble with a letter from the House of Lords to my Lord； to desire him to provide ships to transport the Commissioners to the King； which are expected here this week。 He brought us certain news that the King was proclaimed yesterday with great pomp； and brought down one of the Proclamations； with great jog to us all； for which God be praised。 This morning come Mr。 Saunderson； that writ the story of the King； hither； who is going over to the King。
10th。 At night； while my Lord was at supper； in comes my Lord Lauderdale ＇John； second Earl and afterwards created Duke of Lauderdale； Earl of Guilford （in England；） and K。G。 He became sole Secretary of State for Scotland in 1661； and was a Gentleman of His Majesty's Bedchamber and died in 1682； s。 p。＇ and Sir John Greenville； who supped here； and so went away。 After they were gone； my Lord called me into his cabbin； and told me how he was commanded to set sail presently for the King； and was very glad thereof。 I got him afterwards to sign things in bed。
11th This morning we began to pull down all the State's arms in the fleet； having first sent to Dover for painters and others to come to set up； the King's。 There dined here my Lord Crafford ＇John； fourteenth Earl of Crauford； restored in 1661 to the office of High Treasurer of Scotland； which he had held eight years under Charles the First。＇ and my Lord Cavendish； ＇Afterwards fourth Earl and first Duke of Devonshire。＇ and other Scotchmen whom I afterwards ordered to be received on board the Plymouth； and to go along with us。 After dinner we set sail from the Downes。 In the afternoon overtook us three or four gentlemen： two of the Berties； and one Mr。 Dormerhay； ＇Probably Dalmahoy。＇ a Scotch gentleman； who； telling my Lord that they heard the Commissioners were come out of London to…day； my Lord dropt anchor over against Dover Castle （which give us about thirty guns in passing）； and upon a high debate with the Vice and Rear…Admiral whether it were safe to go and not stay for the Commissioners； he did resolve to send Sir R。 Stayner to Dover； to enquire of my Lord Winchelsea； ＇Heneage； second Earl of Winchelsea； constituted by General Monk； Governor of Dover Castle； July； 1660： made Lord Lieutenant of Kent； and afterwards ambassador to Turkey。 Ob。 1689。＇ whether or no they are come out of London； and then to resolve to…morrow morning of going or not。 Which was done。
12th。 My Lord give me many orders to make for direction for the ships that are left in the Downes； giving them the greatest charge in the world to bring no passengers with them； when they come after us to Scheveling Bay； excepting Mr。 Edward Montagu； Mr。 Thomas Crewe； and Sir H。 Wright。 Sir R。 Stayner told my Lord； that my Lord Winchelsea understands by letters； that the Commissioners are only to come to Dover to attend the coming over of the King。 So my Lord did give order for weighing anchor； which me did； and sailed all day。
13th。 To the quarter…deck； at which the taylors and painters were at work； cutting out some pieces of yellow cloth in the fashion of a crown and C。 R。 and put it upon a fine sheet； and that into the flag instead of the State's arms； which after dinner was finished and set up。 This morn Sir J。 Boys and Capt。 Isham met us in the Nonsuch the first of whom； after a word or two with my Lord； went forward； the other staid。 I heard by them how Mr。 Downing had never made any address to the King； and for that was hated exceedingly by the Court； and that he was in a Dutch ship； which sailed by us； then going to England with disgrace。 Also how Mr。 Morland was knighted by the King this week； and that the King did give the reason of it openly； that it was for his giving him intelligence all the time he was clerk to Secretary Thurloe。 ＇Samuel Morland； successively scholar and fellow of Magdalene College； and Mr。 Pepys's tutor there； became afterwards one of Thurloe's Under Secretaries； and was employed in several embassies； by Cromwell； whose interests he betrayed； by secretly communicating with Charles the Second。 In consideration of these services he was created a baronet of Sulhamstead Banister； Berks； after the Restoration。 He was an ingenious mechanic； supposed by some persons to have invented the Steam Engine； and lived to an advanced age。＇ In the afternoon a council of war； only to acquaint them that the Harp must be taken out of all their flags； it being very offensive to the King。 Late at night we writ letters to the King of the news of our coming； and Mr。 Edward Pickering carried them。 ＇Sir Gilbert Pickering's eldest son。＇ Capt。 Isham went on shore； nobody showing of him any respect； so the old man very fairly took leave of my Lord； and my Lord very coldly bid him 〃God be with you；〃 which was very strange； but that I hear that he keeps a great deal of prating and talking on shore； on board； at the King's Courts； what command he had with my Lord； &c。
14th。 In the morning the Hague was clearly to be seen by us。 My Lord went up； in his nightgown into the cuddy； to see how to dispose thereof for himself and us that belong to him； to give order for our removal to…day。 Some nasty Dutchmen came on board to proffer their boats to carry things from us on shore； &c。 to get money by us。 Before noon some gentlemen came on board from the shore to kiss my Lord's hands。 And by and by Mr。 North and Dr。 Clerke went to kiss the Queen of Bohemia's hands； ＇Daughter of James the First。＇ from my Lord； with twelve attendants from on board to wait on them； among which I sent my boy； who； like myself； is with child to see any strange thing。 After noon they came back again after having kissed the Queen of Bohemia's hand； and were sent again by my Lord to do the same to the Prince of Orange。 ＇Afterwards William the Third。＇ So I got the Captain to ask leave for me to go； which my Lord did give； and taking my boy and Judge…Advocate with me； went in company with them。 The weather was bad； we were sadly washed when we come near the shore； it being very hard to land there。 The shore is so； all the country between that and the Hague； all sand。 The Hague is a most neat place in all respects。 The houses so neat in all places and things as is possible。 Here we walked up and down a great while； the town being now very full of Englishmen； for that the Londoners were come on shore to…day。 But going to see the Prince； ＇Henry Duke of Gloucester； Charles the Second's youngest brother。＇ he was gone forth with his governor； and so we walked up and down the town and court to see the place； and by the help of a stranger； an Englishman； we saw a great many places； and were made to understand many things； as the intention of may… poles； which we saw there standing at every great man's door； of different greatness according to the quality of the person。 About； ten at night the Prince comes home； and we found an easy admission。 His attendance very inconsiderable as for a prince； but yet handsome； and his tutor a fine man； and himself a very pretty boy。
15th。 Coming on board we found all the Commissioners of the House of Lords at dinner with my Lord； who after dinner went away for shore。 Mr。 Morland； now Sir Samuel； was here on board； but I do not find that my Lord or any body did give him any respect； he being looked upon by him and all men as a knave。 Among others he betrayed Sir Rich。 Willis that married Dr。 F。 Jones's daughter； who had paid him 1000l。 at one time by the Protector's and Secretary Thurloe's order； for intelligence that he sent concerning the King。 In the afternoon my Lord called me on purpose to show me his fine cloathes which are now come hither； and indeed are very rich as gold and silver can make them； only his sword he and I do not like。 In the afternoon my Lord and I walked together in the coach two hours； talking together upon all sorts of discourse： as religion； wherein he is； I perceive； wholly sceptical； saying； that indeed the Protestants as to the Church of Rome are wholly fanatiques： he likes uniformity and form of prayer： about state…business； among other things he told me that his conversion to the King's cause （for I was saying that I wonder
