April 26 , . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.3)

My L=d= , Some of my old botanick acquaintances , having made an
appointm=t= to goe yesterday to Hampton Court <paren> to see y=e=
famous collection ther of y=e= rare Indian plantes w=ch= mine Heer
Fagel had gathered together </paren> , called on me ,
(CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.4)

and I heartily wish'd y=r= Lo=ppe= had been ther ,
(CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.5)

for there is about rare Indian plantes w=ch= were never seen in England
; (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.6)

and there is scarce any desirable Indian plant , but a specimen may be
seen there ; (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.7)

and some very curious Indian plants are in so great perfection y=t= it
is very wonderfull and scarce credible . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.8)

The stoves in w=ch= they are kept are much better contrived and built
then any other in England . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.9)

Wee went by water (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.10)

and called at a D=rs= house by y=e= way , wher I saw a very pretty
floewring shrubb in his greenhouse , (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.11)

and I have enclosed 2 or 3 seeds , all I cou'd get ;
(CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.12)

and if carefully sowed on a hotbed , I doubt not but they will come up
. (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,148.13)

The greatest news I can send you from here is y=t= y=e= Abjuration
<P_2,149> Bill is flung out of y=e House of Commons , at w=ch= , it is
said , some are soe displeased y=t= ther will be another bill brought
in much to y=e= same effect . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.14)

My L=d= Nottingham's abdication is now contradicted by y=e= coffeehouse
newsmongers . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.15)

Wee are all here both-1 to y=r= Lo=ppe= and all at Kirby most faithfull
and very humble servants . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.16)

May 15 , . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.19)

Wee are likely to have here great bussle betwixt y=e= Wiggs and modern
Tories , (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.20)

for y=e= Lords have passed y=e= bill for invalidating y=e= judgm=t=
ag=t= y=e= charter of London and restoring y=e= old charter , by w=ch=
all y=e= old aldermen and magistrates of London , who were displaced
when y=e= charter of London wase judg'd forfeited , are restored ,
(CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.21)

and all vacancies since <paren> by the 26 of this month </paren> are by
new elections to be filled up ; so y=t= by y=e= 26=th= a new L=d= Mayor
, new sheriffs , severall new aldermen , a new common councell , are to
be chosen , w=ch= you will easily imagine will occasion warm disputes .
(CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.22)

Yesterday S=r= Ed. Seymour in y=e= H. of Commons tooke occasion to fall
a little foul upon y=e= white marquise , (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.23)

and wase seconded by Capt=n= Granville , my L=d= Baths son .
(CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.24)

In return , some friends to $the Marquise made some sever reflections
on y=e= Earle of Bath , (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.25)

and , after some wrangling , y=e= business fell ,
(CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.26)

and y=e= Marquises and Earle's honour <paren> notwithstanding all
reflections </paren> are in statu quo . (CHATTON-E3-P1,2,149.27)

The truth is , y=e= popish party are very insolent and impudently give
