Rh me how the Duke asked a hundred questions about me; that he did not speak well of Lord Sunderland; he gave me some reason to suspect Fitzpatrick; told me what abundance of money they had; he is angry at Sir Greorge Wakeman's coming to Brussels. Mr. Rockwood dined here, and told me how troubled they were, because there was no heir to the Elector, who will not be persuaded to marry again. His son hath no children, and the Palatinate will go to the Duke of Neuburg, who is a Papist.

Honoured Sir,

The last account I gave you from hence was upon Tuesday; that night the King was taken ill with a fit, but much more moderately than upon Friday and Sunday night; since that, he has had not the least appearance of one; so that the physicians are of opinion he will have no more of it. It is believed his Majesty will return to Whitehall as soon as he shall be in a condition to remove thither with safety, which it is hoped he may do the beginning of next week.
