11 May 1671 – 17 May 1671

I went to Eltham, to sit as one of the commissioners about the subsidy now given by Parliament to his Majesty.

Dined at Mr. Treasurer's with the Earl of Arlington, Carlingford, Lord Arundel of Wardour, Lord Almoner to the Queen, a French Count and two abbots, with several more of French nobility; and now by something I had lately observed of Mr. Treasurer's conversation on occasion, I suspected him a little warping to Rome.
