which afterwards we received, set with diamonds, to the value of three
or four hundred pounds, his Majesty having been pleased to give my
husband, at his first going to Portugal, his picture at length, in his
garter-robes: my husband had also by his Majesty's order, out of the
wardrobe, a crimson velvet cloth of state, fringed and laced with
gold, with a chair, a footstool, and cushions, and two other stools of
the same, with a Persian carpet to lay under them, and a suit of fine
tapestry hanging for that room, with two velvet altar-cloths for the
chapel, and fringed with gold, with surplices, altar cloths, and
napkins, of fine linen, with a Bible, in Ogleby's print and cuts, two
Common Prayer-books, in folio and quarto, with eight hundred ounces of
gilt plate, and four thousand ounces of white plate; but there wanted
a velvet bed, which he should have had by custom.

Thus having perfected the ceremonies of taking leave of their
Majesties, and receiving their commands, and likewise taking our
leaves of our friends, as I said, upon Sunday the 10th of August we
took our journey to Portugal [Footnote: Evelyn says, "5th of August
1662, to London, and next day to Hampton Court, and took leave of Sir
R. Fanshawe, now going Ambassador to Portugal."--Diary, vol. ii. p.
195.] carrying our three daughters with us, Katherine, Margaret, and
Ann.

This night we lay at Windsor, where, on Monday the 11th, in the
morning, we went to prayers to the King's Chapel with Doctor Heavers,
my husband's Chaplain. On our return we were visited by the Provost of
Eton, and divers others of the clergy of that place, and Sir Thomas
Woodcock, the chief commander of that place, in the absence of Lord
Mordaunt, Lord Constable of Windsor Castle.
