Bertie, son to the Earl of Lindsey, Lord Great Chamberlain of
England; Mr. Newport, second son to the Lord Baron Newport; Sir
Benjamin Wright, Baronet; Sir Andrew King; Sir Edward Turner, Knight,
son to the Speaker of the Commons' House of Parliament; and Mr.
Francis Godolphin, son to Sir Francis Godolphin, Knight of the Bath.
The most part of them went by water.
We lay the first night at Guildford, the second at Petersfield, the
third at Portsmouth, where we stayed till the 31st of the same month,
being very civilly used there by the Mayor and his brethren, who made
my husband a freeman of the town, as their custom is to persons of
quality that pass that way; and likewise we received many favours from
the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Philip Honywood, with the rest of the
commanders of that garrison. As I said before, we went on board the
31st, being Sunday, the Admiral of the Fleet then setting out, Sir
John Lawson, Chief Commander, in his Majesty's ship called the
Resolution; there was Captain Berkeley, Commander of the Bristol
frigate, Captain Utber, Commander of the Phoenix, Captain Ferne,
Commander of the Portsmouth, Captain Moon, Commander of the York, and
Sir John Lawson's ketch, commanded by Captain King.
Thus, at ten o'clock, we set sail with a good wind, which carried us
as far as Torbay, and then failed us; there we lay till Monday the
15th of February, at nine o'clock at night, at which, it pleasing God
to give us a prosperous wind, we set sail, and on the 23rd of
February, our style, we cast anchor in Cadiz road, in Spain.
