Pepus Diary.
December 12, 1666. Sir H. Cholmly did with grief tell me how the Parliament hath been told plainly that the King hath been heard to say that he would dissolve them rather than pass this Bill with the Proviso: but tells me that the Proviso is removed, and now carried that it shall be done by a Bill by itself. He tells me how the King hath lately paid about £30.000 to clear debts of my Lady Castlemavne’s. He says that he hears £400.000 hath gone into the Privy purse since this warr, and that that hath consumed so much of our money, and makes the King and Court so mad to be brought to discover it. Newes this day from Brampton, of Mr Ensum, my sister’s sweetheart, being dead: a clowne.
