Diary of the times of Charles II/Volume 1/Mr. Sidney to the Earl of Sunderland
MR. SIDNEY TO THE EARL OF SUNDERLAND.
The Prince was not easily to be persuaded that his coming would be of any advantage, but he is at last, and bids me write to you to know what is the best time, either before the first of November this stile, or after the last, for he must be here the whole month of November. The design of bringing him into the Council and House of Lords he likes well; but he doubts it will not be, because he cannot take the oath of allegiance. If you can find an expedient for it, he desires you would send it to him. I think it would do as well to have him created Duke, though he left England the next day.
