with him ranckt all the way through the Strand in head of the Coaches the Company of the Kings Guard to the number of sixty which in my hearing the Ambassadors Followers did interpret as an honour done their Master never done before to any other and when to undeceive them I said the Guard marched in that manner for attendance of their Captaine They replyed their honour was the greater to have such a Lord for company that had attending him such followers so apt are strangers to make use of all to their own advantage This Ambassador having finished his Audience of the King which lasted at the least an hour as he told me himselfe passed between them from first to last in Latine a Language that he was farre more bold then perfect in he regarding neither Grammer nor congruity he took leave also in the same place of the Prince his Highness The Captaine of the Guard and his brother the Lord Montjoy not leaving him till they brought him with the same Attendance to the Dining Roome of his lodging Here I think good to insert for suture occasions and use to the Master of the Ceremonies that Sir Lewes Lewkner reported to me that when he came from Dover in conduct of the Archdutches Ambassador Don Diego de Mexia Mr. Van Mall Agent here for her Highnesse perswaded him to take his place in one of the hired Coaches with some of the Ambassadors Gentlemen and with it to leade the way leaving the Ambassador to come in the Kings Coach in Company of such persons of Court Eminency as himselfe should be pleased to make choyce of which though Sir Lewes and he stumbled at he at last allowed of but being come to London he let Van Mall know it had been ever the manner and with good reason that the Master of the Ceremonies imployed from the King for the Ambassadors honour and to receive him at the Sea side or elsewhere in his way to Court was to have place with him in his Coach unlesse perhaps some Noble person were withall imployed in that Service which assertion confirmed by him with divers Persidents and Reasons the Marquess de la Inojosa and Don Carlos de Coloma acknowledging that they had both severally received him into their Coaches at their first Arrivall into this Kingdome the Arch-Dukes and Van Mall with acknowledgment of their Errour allowed it for requisite One Reason given then for the fitness of the Master of the Ceremonies sitting in Coach with Ambassadors on the way was that his Presence so at hand was most usefull and necessary for avoydance of disturbing incounters from passengers or otherwise in the way another that it was fit the Ambassador should have the Master of the Ceremonies alwayes neere him for discourse and satisfaction upon Questions concerning the Countrey c. And lastly for the honour of the Master that sends such a one to do honour by his conduct to the Person of the Ambassador Preparetion being made November the eighteenth for a great Feast by the Duke of Buckingham to entertain principally Don Diego de Mendoza and with him Don Diego de Mexia the Arch-Dukes Ambassador and his followers of quality The Marquess de la Inojosa it was intended should have been at it as was Don Carlos de Coloma but for the difference mentioned of Precedence between him and the other Extraordinary but the day before the Duke sending to him Sir George Goring with a message that he was sorry to understand he would be absent from the entertainment he intended because of some inconveniences c. The Marquess returned answer that he knew of no such inconveniences but that if it had or should please the Duke to invite him he would come to his Feast c. In sequell hereof the next day at Evening somewhat before the invited Ambassadors should set forth and were attending the person that should come to conduct them the Duke sent a Gentleman of his Chamber Mr. Endimion Porter which a Regalo of three large Flaskets full of Provision of the choisest of three Courses of Cates intended for the Feast One full of cold meates for the Antepasto another with fat fowle raw and ready for spit of all sorts and a third of the best and rarest sweet-meates all presented with this message that the Duke kissed his hands and would have held it an honour and an happinesse to have had his Company but since he would not have it he desired him to tast of what he had provided for him at that at the tasting of it at his Supper he would be pleased to drink the health of the King of England as he would at the same drink the health of the King of Spaine The Marquess immediate answer to this message was no more but this For the happinesse my Lord Duke sayes he should have had in my Company he might have had it if it would have pleased him to command it After returning thanks for his Present and saying it was easie to conceive what the Feast would be when a tast of it was so rare and plentifull he gave the bringer fifty Crownes bad the Company good night and went to Supper privately in his Chamber Soone after the Earle of Northampton being sent for conductor to the invited Ambassadors These after their reception at Yorke House the Dukes they were there thus placed at the Table On the left hand of his Majesty who was there as a guest inviting himselfe sate with a convenient distance Don Diego de Mendoza at the Tables end below Don Carlos de Coloma and the Arch-Dukes Ambassador at the other end of the Table on the right hand of the King sate the Prince At a long Table not halfe filled with guests placed long wayes the Roome sate the Tituladoes and Cavaliers that came with Don Diego de Mexia the other Don Diego Mendoza having with him no followers of quality worthy of that place and Company and none of the Marquesses de inojosa then appearing with regard to their Cheefes absence After Supper there was a Maske with a faire appearance of Ladie● at it and after the Maske a most sumptuous Banquet The one and twentieth of November Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza set forth for his departure with my attendance towards Dover and being by me provided at the Kings charge with foure Coaches besides the Kings coach with foure Horses and a day or two before his goods being sent thither in the weekly returning Waggon at the rate of five shillings six pence per cent all the way by land at the Kings charge We laid the first night at Rochester the next at Canterbury and came the next day to Dover where the wind standing contrary after he and one Don Pedro de Aldeberandino Nephew to Pope Clement the eight glad to take the advantage of the Kings Ship for passage had in a small Boat set forth the Haven and were forced back againe as the Kings Ship at the same time was

Devonshire with the Lord Bruse and others in twenty five Coaches attending his Majesty he rested himselfe in the Councell Chamber and there entring the Presence was at the doore receiued by the Lord Chamberlain there presented by his Predecessor Seignior Landi he spake breifely and departed Having visited his Predecessor the Saturday before and after at the same time himselfe something unseasonably perhaps before he had had his Audience Seignior Landi seemed to complaine as of a neglect cast upon his Successor that he had not yet received a wellcome from his Majesty by some person of Title as had been he said the Custome of proceeding towards all his Predecessours Wherewith I acquainted my Lord Chamberlain brought for an answer from his Lordship that he understood not but that the Complement of wellcoming Ambassadors from the King upon their Arrivall had been-onely used at such times as their Audience was excused for having been deferred for reason of some instant pressing affaires of his Majesty but that for this time the interim would be so small between his Arrivall and his Audience as that the visit would hardly be given or at the least would be excusable if omitted which answer passed for currant both with him and the other as he professed to me when I first visited him after his Audience onely he desired that my Lord Chamberlain would but intimate his reason to him personally when he would next see him that he might receive the more honour from his own Testimony as he did after to his satisfaction His Predecessour next day after his Audience took leave of his Majesty accompanied to it at Greenwich by the Lord North And also the girdle and hang er when he received the honour of Knighthood from his Majesty and had the day after according to Custome the Sword wherewith he was Knighted sent to him from his Majesty and two or three dayes after an addition to his Armes in memory of his imployment hither June the thirteenth the Russian Ambassador being upon his departure after I had the day before assured my Lord Chamberlain whereof he doubted that Ambassadors from those parts had usually at their parting as at their first Arrivall some person of Title to accompany them to their imbarking I went in my Lord Chamberlains name as for his Majesties Service to the Lord Stanhop who accepted of it we went together the next day in the Kings Coach to the Ambassadors House and thence with five other to the Tower Wharffe where his Lordship leaving the Ambassador This entred the Kings Barge his followers in an other and with the Company of Sir John Merrick Alderman Hammersley and other Merchants we came to Gravesend Lodged at the Christopher were there Feasted that night by the Muscovy Company and the next morning making use of the Kings Barge to carry us to their Ships riding foure miles off at Tilbery he there imbarkt and we returned that night to London The 24. of June The Venetian Ambassador Ordinary Seignieur Girolomo Lando parted from London without the Master of the Ceremonies attendance to Gravesend his Company spared them as not of use or Custome for an Ordinary at departure neither had he the Kings Barge appointed for his Transport whereat the chiefe Barge-Master Warner respecting his Interest murmured as at a course unusuall and with wrong to the Ambassadors quality But herein he was mistaken the use being as hath bin said otherwise The Thursday before his parting on the Monday when it was not known but that he would be gone the Saturday he had received not one word to the purpose of his Present when it should be brought him Inso much as glancing in discourse with me at the affront as he called it like to be put upon him in his particular but in the generall upon his Republick Meaning Sir Lewes Lewkener who could never relish that States Ministers as Troppo steretti dimano not unlike to proceed he said from some ill affected to it I wrote to my Lord Chamberlaine about it and his Lordship with some passion recommending the consideration of it to the Lord Treasurer Order was given and the business effected after the proportion as my Lord Chamberlaine told me of 1200. ounces of gilt plate being two hundred more then were given his Predecessor Forscareni as with more respect to his better merit and to his nobler fashion of carriage here towards persons of all conditions beyond any or most of his Predecessors After the young Prince Landsgrave of Hessen had made about three moueths stay in England in which time he made a posting Journey to see Scotland he went in Coach with my company to Windsor there to take leave of his Majesty the sixth of July but could not have his Audience being remitted with reason of his Majesties then pressing affaires till Tuesday when after the Sermon whereat he was present entring with my conduction by the door of the Terras Staires into the Presence I received command to bring him through the Princes Lodgings into a Back-withdrawing Roome there behinde the Kings Privy Lodgings whence the King comming to him he with his two Assistants Councellors to his Father Master Klingelbuck and Master Zoble had his Audience and Farewell of the King and of the Prince also in the same place Thence he returned to London and the sixth of July imbarqued for Gravesend whether I accompanied him though without Order or without use of the Kings Barge or other respect of Extraordinary Honour by Present or the like only I moving the Lord Admirall the Marquis of Buckingham for a Ship of his Majesty to transport him in regard of some hazard to his person not unlikely to come from the Dunkerkers if they should light on him at Sea he being then in the States pay Commander of a Company he had assigned him a Lesser of two Ships then riding in the Downes 24 pouud which by directions of Sir William Saint Johns Vice-Admirall was to take him in at Dover A Mask to be presented by the Prince the Marquis of Buckingham and other Gentlemen on Twelfnight 1622. was for that day and a second remitted till Sunday the ninth of January principally with regard to his Majestes indisposition but as some thought not without expectation that the States Ambassadors would first be gone to avoide the distaste that might be taken from their not Invitation whereto it seemed his Majesty for some Spanish respect as was thought had no great affection But they staying their business with the Merchants about composing the East-Indian differences being not yet concluded divers underhand passages and discourses for and against the sight of the Maske were carried to and fro as much as might be to content them and not displease others For first they had an offer made them to have a Boxe appointed them apart and by themselves only which they absolutely refused Ambassadors Ordinarie before having had said they the honour to sit with his
