(to bring in Mr. Trevor), and the Archbishop of Canterbury, and my Lord Bridgewater.  He tells me that this is true, only the Duke of York do endeavour to hinder it, and the Duke of York himself did tell him so:  that the King and the Duke of York do not in company disagree, but are friendly; but that there is a core in their hearts, he doubts, which is not to be easily removed; for these men do suffer only for their constancy to the Chancellor, or at least from the King’s ill-will against him:  that they do now all they can to vilify the clergy, and do accuse Rochester [Dolben] . . . and so do raise scandals, all that is possible, against other of the Bishops.  He do suggest that something is intended for the Duke of Monmouth, and it may be, against the Queene also:  that we are in no manner sure against an invasion the next year:  that the Duke of Buckingham do rule all now, and the Duke of York comes indeed to the Caball, but signifies little there.  That this new faction do not endure, nor the King, Sir W. Coventry; but yet that he is so usefull that they cannot be without him; but that he is not now called to the Caball.  That my Lord of Buckingham, Bristoll, and Arlington, do seem to agree in these things; but that they do not in their hearts trust one another, but do drive several ways, all of them.  In short, he do bless himself that he is no more concerned in matters now; and the hopes he hath of being at liberty, when his accounts are over, to retire into the country.  That he do give over the kingdom for wholly lost.  So after some other little discourse, I away, meeting with Mr. Cooling.  I with him by coach to the Wardrobe, where I never was since the fire in Hatton Garden, but did not ’light:  and he tells me he fears that my Lord Sandwich will suffer much by Mr. Townsend’s being untrue to him, he being now unable to give the Commissioners of the Treasury an account of his money received by many thousands of pounds, which I am troubled for.  Thence to the Old Exchange together, he telling me that he believes there will be no such turning out of great men as is talked of, but that it is only to fright people, but I do fear there may be such a thing doing.  He do mightily inveigh against the folly of the King to bring his matters to wrack thus, and that we must all be undone without help.  I met with Cooling at the Temple-gate, after I had been at both my booksellers and there laid out several pounds in books now against the new year.  From the ’Change (where I met with Captain Cocke, who would have borrowed money of me, but I had the grace to deny him, he would have had 3 or L400) I with Cocke and Mr. Temple (whose wife was just now brought to bed of a boy, but he seems not to be at all taken with it, which is a strange consideration how others do rejoice to have a child born), to Sir G. Carteret’s, in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, and there did dine together, there being there, among other company, Mr. Attorney Montagu, and his fine lady, a fine woman.  After dinner, I
