Today September 16 1665, I am in no doubt that my time is approaching. I the once Glorious Philip IV am now nothing more than then a frail old man on my death bed. I am leaving this country a poor exhausted mess. My desire for war and splendor was too great for my country to bear. My son Charles II will be succeeding me and I can only hope that God is on his side. I hope that he will be more fortunate and more conservative then I was.
