at it appeared nothing at all, nor any body seemed to value it;
whereas, he might have shewn himself to have merited extraordinary
thanks, and been held to have done a very great service: whereas now,
all that cost the King hath been at for his journey through Spain
thither, seems to be almost lost. After we were up, Creed and I walked
together, and did talk a good while of the weak report my Lord made, and
were troubled for it; I fearing that either his mind and judgment are
depressed, or that he do it out of his great neglect, and so my fear
