TO LORD ARLINGTON

Madrid, Wednesday, 18/28 October, 1665.

"This evening I have had audience of the young King; giving him, in

our Master's name, first the pesame, and then the parabien of the

time. On Friday, begin the honras of the King, his father; after

which, and, as I do believe, on the 5th of the next month, because it

is the King's birth-day, the Queen will give her first audience to

Ambassadors; none having yet seen her Majesty but the German, and he

in his private capacity."--Ibid. f. 415.
