"a book [“Fair warning, or, XX prophesies concerning the return of popery: The second part - by Archbishop Whitgift, Archbishop Laud, Archbishop Bancroft, Bishop Sanderson, Bishop Gauden, Mr. Hooker & others ;”] lately printed and licensed by Dr. Stradling, the Bishop of London’s chaplin, being a book discovering the practices and designs of the papists, and the fears of some of our own fathers of the Protestant church heretofore of the return to Popery as it were prefacing it.
"The book is a very good book; but forasmuch as it touches one of the Queenmother’s fathers confessors [Père Sarabras], the Bishop [of London, Gilbert Sheldon], which troubles many good men and members of Parliament, hath called it in [recalled it?], which I am sorry for."
L&M note that page 47 of the book repeats the common story that Father Sarabras tossed his hat in the air to celebrate the fall of the head of Charles 1, elder son of the Queen Mother.
Hmmm, I recall Sam'l himself owned up to having made an intemperate remark in that vein.
For what is Sam'l sorry? Is he expressing sympathy with the QM, Bp. Sheldon, or...?

Reality-check? Is he really uninformed? Covertly sympathetic? He hasn't expressed anxiety about the nonconfornists for a while....

l.h., L&M say Sir George Carteret acted as proxy for the *Prince* of Denmark, as you surmised.
"466 (inv 1663) Christian V, King of Denmark and Norway" is what the webpage "The List of Knights of the Garter, 1348-present" says, clearly proleptically, by which I may have been seduced.
"St. George's day and Coronacion, the King and Court being at Windsor, at the installing of the King of Denmark by proxy and the Duke of Monmouth."
It seems that on St. George's day the Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Garter gathered at Windsor Castle, where the new Knights take the oath and are "instilled"[sic] /invested by the British monarch in a ceremony in the Collegiate Chapel Royal of St. George (patron Saint of the Order) with "the insignia of the Order, which consists of the Garter, Star, Riband, Collar and Mantle." http://www.heraldicsculptor.com/G… (Today this is done in June.)

L&M seem to assume we (even Yanks and other non-Brits) know what the "installing" was about and do not note any of the above, but do note that, in the ceremony, Sir George Carteret acted as proxy for King Christian V, who had visited England the preceding autumn.
* * *
That said, it vexes me that Sam'l had, on 8 April, three weeks and a day ago, stated that, among the novelties on view after a lavishly-praised sermon by Dr. Pierce, at the Royal chapel in Whitehall, "Here I also saw the Duke of Monmouth, with his Order of the Garter, the first time I ever saw it." http://www.pepysdiary.com/diary/1… , something he would have recognized since Edward (Montagu), 1st Earl of Sandwich had been 460 (inv 1661).
The D of M with his O.G. insignia on before he was installed? Was this a message from King Charles, who used KG appointments as rewards and domestic, political and foreign-policy tools? Or was it just Little Jimmy Crofts, royal bastard brat, playing at being a grownup? brash, as he ever was, both to his glory and to the cost of his life prematurely.
