with me this morning, and to my great joy I could now have all my money
in, that I have in the world. But the times being open again, I thinke it
is best to keepe some of it abroad. Mighty well, and end this month in
content of mind and body. The publique matters looking more safe for the
present than they did, and we having a victory over the Dutch just such as
I could have wished, and as the kingdom was fit to bear, enough to give us
the name of conquerors, and leave us masters of the sea, but without any
such great matters done as should give the Duke of Albemarle any honour at
all, or give him cause to rise to his former insolence.
