'This day I read (shown me by Mr Gibson) a discourse newly come forth, of the King of France his pretence to Flanders; which is a very fine discourse, and the turth is, hath so much of the Civil Law in it that I am not a fit judge of it; but as it appears to me, he hath a good pretence to it by right of his Queene. So to bed.'
