+
+May 1st, 1668.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning busy.  Then
+to Westminster Hall, and there met Sir W. Pen, who labours to have his
+answer to his impeachment, and sent down from the Lords' House, read by
+the House of Commons; but they are so busy on other matters, that he
+cannot, and thereby will, as he believes, by design, be prevented from
+going to sea this year.  Here met my cozen Thomas Pepys of Deptford, and
+took some turns with him; who is mightily troubled for this Act now passed
+against Conventicles, and in few words, and sober, do lament the condition
+we are in, by a negligent Prince and a mad Parliament.  Thence I by coach
+to the Temple, and there set him down, and then to Sir G. Carteret's to
+dine, but he not being at home, I back again to the New Exchange a little,
+and thence back again to Hercules Pillars, and there dined all alone, and
+then to the King's playhouse, and there saw "The Surprizall;" and a
+disorder in the pit by its raining in, from the cupola at top, it being a
+very foul day, and cold, so as there are few I believe go to the Park
+to-day, if any.  Thence to Westminster Hall, and there I understand how
+the Houses of Commons and Lords are like to disagree very much, about the
+business of the East India Company and one Skinner; to the latter of which
+the Lords have awarded L5000 from the former, for some wrong done him
+heretofore; and the former appealing to the Commons, the Lords vote their
+petition a libell; and so there is like to follow very hot work.  Thence
+by water, not being able to get a coach, nor boat but a sculler, and that
+with company, is being so foul a day, to the Old Swan, and so home, and
+there spent the evening, making Balty read to me, and so to supper and to
+bed.
+
+2nd.  Up, and at the office all the morning.  At noon with Lord Brouncker
+in his coach as far as the Temple, and there 'light and to Hercules
+Pillars, and there dined, and thence to the Duke of York's playhouse, at a
+little past twelve, to get a good place in the pit, against the new play,
+and there setting a poor man to keep my place, I out, and spent an hour at
+Martin's, my bookseller's, and so back again, where I find the house quite
+full.  But I had my place, and by and by the King comes and the Duke of
+York; and then the play begins, called "The Sullen Lovers; or, The
+Impertinents," having many good humours in it, but the play tedious, and
+no design at all in it.  But a little boy, for a farce, do dance
+Polichinelli, the best that ever anything was done in the world, by all
+men's report: most pleased with that, beyond anything in the world, and
+much beyond all the play.  Thence to the King's house to see Knepp, but
+the play done; and so I took a hackney alone, and to the park, and there
+spent the evening, and to the lodge, and drank new milk.  And so home to
+the Office, ended my letters, and, to spare my eyes, home, and played on
+my pipes, and so to bed.
+
+3rd (Lord's day).  Up, and to church, where I saw Sir A. Rickard, though
+he be under the Black Rod, by order of the Lords' House, upon the quarrel
+between the East India Company and Skinner, which is like to come to a
+very great heat between the two Houses.  At noon comes Mr. Mills and his
+wife, and Mr. Turner and his wife, by invitation to dinner, and we were
+mighty merry, and a very pretty dinner, of my Bridget and Nell's dressing,
+very handsome.  After dinner to church again  .  .  .  . So home and with
+Sir W. Pen took a hackney, and he and I to Old Street, to a brew-house
+there, to see Sir Thomas Teddiman, who is very ill in bed of a fever, got,
+I believe, by the fright the Parliament have put him into, of late.  But
+he is a good man, a good seaman, and stout.  Thence Pen and I to
+Islington, and there, at the old house, eat, and drank, and merry, and
+there by chance giving two pretty fat boys each of them a cake, they
+proved to be Captain Holland's children, whom therefore I pity.  So round
+by Hackney home, having good discourse, he [Pen] being very open to me in
+his talk, how the King ought to dissolve this Parliament, when the Bill of
+Money is passed, they being never likely to give him more; how he [the
+King] hath great opportunity of making himself popular by stopping this
+Act against Conventicles; and how my Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if the
+Parliament continue, will undoubtedly fall, he having managed that place
+with so much self-seeking, and disorder, and pleasure, and some great men
+are designing to overthrow [him], as, among the rest, my Lord Orrery; and
+that this will try the King mightily, he being a firm friend to my Lord
+Lieutenant.  So home; and to supper a little, and then to bed, having
+stepped, after I come home, to Alderman Backewell's about business, and
+there talked a while with him and his wife, a fine woman of the country,
+and how they had bought an estate at Buckeworth, within four mile of
+Brampton.
+
+4th.  Up betimes, and by water to Charing Cross, and so to W. Coventry,
+and there talked a little with him, and thence over the Park to White
+Hall, and there did a little business at the Treasury, and so to the Duke,
+and there present Balty to the Duke of York and a letter from the Board to
+him about him, and the Duke of York is mightily pleased with him, and I
+doubt not his continuance in employment, which I am glad of. Thence with
+Sir H. Cholmly to Westminster Hall talking, and he crying mightily out of
+the power the House of Lords usurps in this business of the East India
+Company.  Thence away home and there did business, and so to dinner, my
+sister Michell and I, and thence to the Duke of York's house, and there
+saw "The Impertinents" again, and with less pleasure than before, it being
+but a very contemptible play, though there are many little witty
+expressions in it; and the pit did generally say that of it. Thence, going
+out, Mrs. Pierce called me from the gallery, and there I took her and Mrs.
+Corbet by coach up and down, and took up Captain Rolt in the street; and
+at last, it being too late to go to the Park, I carried them to the Beare
+in Drury Lane, and there did treat them with a dish of mackrell, the first
+I have seen this year, and another dish, and mighty merry; and so carried
+her home, and thence home myself, well pleased with this evening's
+pleasure, and so to bed.
+
+5th.  Up, and all the morning at the office.  At noon home to dinner and
+Creed with me, and after dinner he and I to the Duke of York's playhouse;
+and there coming late, he and I up to the balcony-box, where we find my
+Lady Castlemayne and several great ladies; and there we sat with them, and
+I saw "The Impertinents" once more, now three times, and the three only
+days it hath been acted.  And to see the folly how the house do this day
+cry up the play more than yesterday! and I for that reason like it, I
+find, the better, too; by Sir Positive At-all, I understand, is meant Sir
+Robert Howard.  My Lady [Castlemaine] pretty well pleased with it; but
+here I sat close to her fine woman, Willson, who indeed is very handsome,
+but, they say, with child by the King.  I asked, and she told me this was
+the first time her Lady had seen it, I having a mind to say something to
+her.  One thing of familiarity I observed in my Lady Castlemayne: she
+called to one of her women, another that sat by this, for a little patch
+off her face, and put it into her mouth and wetted it, and so clapped it
+upon her own by the side of her mouth, I suppose she feeling a pimple
+rising there.  Thence with Creed to Westminster Hall, and there met with
+cozen Roger, who tells me of the great conference this day between the
+Lords and Commons, about the business of the East India Company, as being
+one of the weightiest conferences that hath been, and managed as
+weightily.  I am heartily sorry I was not there, it being upon a mighty
+point of the privileges of the subjects of England, in regard to the
+authority of the House of Lords, and their being condemned by them as the
+Supreme Court, which, we say, ought not to be, but by appeal from other
+Courts.  And he tells me that the Commons had much the better of them, in
+reason and history there quoted, and believes the Lords will let it fall.
+Thence to walk in the Hall, and there hear that Mrs. Martin's child, my
+god-daughter, is dead, and so by water to the Old Swan, and thence home,
+and there a little at Sir W. Pen's, and so to bed.
+
+6th.  Up, and to the office, and thence to White Hall, but come too late
+to see the Duke of York, with whom my business was, and so to Westminster
+Hall, where met with several people and talked with them, and among other
+things understand that my Lord St. John is meant by Mr. Woodcocke, in "The
+Impertinents."
+
+        ["Whilst Positive walks, like Woodcock in the park,
+          Contriving projects with a brewer's clerk."
+
+     Andrew Marvell's "Instructions to a Painter," part iii., to which is
+     subjoined the following note: "Sir Robert Howard, and Sir William
+     Bucknell, the brewer."--Works, ed.  by Capt.  E. Thompson, vol.
+     iii., p. 405.--B.]
+
+Here met with Mrs. Washington, my old acquaintance of the Hall, whose
+husband has a place in the Excise at Windsor, and it seems lives well. I
+have not seen her these 8 or 9 years, and she begins to grow old, I
+perceive, visibly.  So time do alter, and do doubtless the like in myself.
+This morning the House is upon the City Bill, and they say hath passed it,
+though I am sorry that I did not think to put somebody in mind of moving
+for the churches to be allotted according to the convenience of the
+people, and not to gratify this Bishop, or that College.  Thence by water
+to the New Exchange, where bought a pair of shoe-strings, and so to Mr.
+Pierces, where invited, and there was Knepp and Mrs. Foster and here
+dined, but a poor, sluttish dinner, as usual, and so I could not be
+heartily merry at it: here saw her girl's picture, but it is mighty far
+short of her boy's, and not like her neither;  but it makes Hales's
+picture of her boy appear a good picture.  Thence to White Hall, walked
+with Brisband, who dined there also, and thence I back to the King's
+playhouse, and there saw "The Virgin Martyr," and heard the musick that I
+like so well, and intended to have seen Knepp, but I let her alone; and
+having there done, went to Mrs. Pierces back again, where she was, and
+there I found her on a pallet in the dark .  .  .  ,  that is Knepp. And
+so to talk; and by and by did eat some curds and cream, and thence away
+home, and it being night, I did walk in the dusk up and down, round
+through our garden, over Tower Hill, and so through Crutched Friars, three
+or four times, and once did meet Mercer and another pretty lady, but being
+surprized I could say little to them,, although I had an opportunity of
+pleasing myself with them,  but left them, and then I did see our Nell,
+Payne's daughter, and her je did desire venir after me, and so elle did
+see me to, Tower Hill to our back entry there that comes upon the degres
+entrant into nostra garden .  .  .  , and so parted, and je home to put up
+things against to-morrow's carrier for my wife; and, among others, a very
+fine salmon-pie, sent me by Mr. Steventon, W. Hewer's uncle, and so to
+bed.
+
+7th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon home to
+dinner, and thither I sent for Mercer to dine with me, and after dinner
+she and I called Mrs. Turner, and I carried them to the Duke of York's
+house, and there saw "The Man's the Master," which proves, upon my seeing
+it again, a very good play.  Thence called Knepp from the King's house,
+where going in for her, the play being done, I did see Beck Marshall come
+dressed, off of the stage, and looks mighty fine, and pretty, and noble:
+and also Nell, in her boy's clothes, mighty pretty.  But, Lord!  their
+confidence! and how many men do hover about them as soon as they come off
+the stage, and how confident they are in their talk!  Here I did kiss the
+pretty woman newly come, called Pegg, that was Sir Charles Sidly's
+mistress, a mighty pretty woman, and seems, but is not, modest.  Here took
+up Knepp into our coach, and all of us with her to her lodgings, and
+thither comes Bannister with a song of hers, that he hath set in Sir
+Charles Sidly's play for her, which is, I think, but very meanly set; but
+this he did, before us, teach her, and it being but a slight, silly, short
+ayre, she learnt it presently.  But I did get him to prick me down the
+notes of the Echo in "The Tempest," which pleases me mightily.  Here was
+also Haynes, the incomparable dancer of the King's house, and a seeming
+civil man, and sings pretty well, and they gone, we abroad to Marrowbone,
+and there walked in the garden, the first time I ever was there; and a
+pretty place it is, and here we eat and drank and stayed till 9 at night,
+and so home by moonshine .  .  .  .  And so set Mrs. Knepp at her lodging,
+and so the rest, and I home talking with a great deal of pleasure, and so
+home to bed.
+
+8th.  Up, and to the office, where busy all the morning.  Towards noon I
+to Westminster and there understand that the Lords' House did sit till
+eleven o'clock last night, about the business in difference between them
+and the Commons, in the matter of the East India Company.  Here took a
+turn or two, and up to my Lord Crew's, and there dined; where Mr. Case,
+the minister, a dull fellow in his talk, and all in the Presbyterian
+manner; a great deal of noise and a kind of religious tone, but very dull.
+After dinner my Lord and I together.  He tells me he hears that there are
+great disputes like to be at Court, between the factions of the two women,
+my Lady Castlemayne and Mrs. Stewart, who is now well again, and the King
+hath made several public visits to her, and like to come to Court: the
+other is to go to Barkeshire-house, which is taken for her, and they say a
+Privy-Seal is passed for L5000 for it.  He believes all will come to ruin.
+Thence I to White Hall, where the Duke of York gone to the Lords' House,
+where there is to be a conference on the Lords' side to the Commons this
+afternoon, giving in their Reasons, which I would have been at, but could
+not; for, going by direction to the Prince's chamber, there Brouncker, W.
+Pen, and Mr. Wren, and I, met, and did our business with the Duke of York.
+But, Lord!  to see how this play of Sir Positive At-all,--["The
+Impertinents."]--in abuse of Sir Robert Howard, do take, all the Duke's
+and every body's talk being of that, and telling more stories of him, of
+the like nature, that it is now the town and country talk, and, they say,
+is most exactly true.  The Duke of York himself said that of his playing
+at trap-ball is true, and told several other stories of him.  This being
+done, Brouncker, Pen, and I to Brouncker's house, and there sat and
+talked, I asking many questions in mathematics to my Lord, which he do me
+the pleasure to satisfy me in, and here we drank and so spent an hour, and
+so W. Pen and I home, and after being with W. Pen at his house an hour, I
+home and to bed.
+
+9th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning we sat.  Here I first
+hear that the Queene hath miscarryed of a perfect child, being gone about
+ten weeks, which do shew that she can conceive, though it be unfortunate
+that she cannot bring forth.  Here we are told also that last night the
+Duchesse of Monmouth, dancing at her lodgings, hath sprained her thigh.
+Here we are told also that the House of Commons sat till five o'clock this
+morning, upon the business of the difference between the Lords and them,
+resolving to do something therein before they rise, to assert their
+privileges.  So I at noon by water to Westminster, and there find the King
+hath waited in the Prince's chamber these two hours, and the Houses are
+not ready for him.  The Commons having sent this morning, after their long
+debate therein the last night, to the Lords, that they do think the only
+expedient left to preserve unity between the two Houses is, that they do
+put a stop to any proceedings upon their late judgement against the East
+India Company, till their next meeting; to which the Lords returned answer
+that they would return answer to them by a messenger of their own, which
+they not presently doing, they were all inflamed, and thought it was only
+a trick, to keep them in suspense till the King come to adjourne them;
+and, so, rather than lose the opportunity of doing themselves right, they
+presently with great fury come to this vote: "That whoever should assist
+in the execution of the judgement of the Lords against the Company, should
+be held betrayers of the liberties of the people of England, and of the
+privileges of that House." This the Lords had notice of, and were mad at
+it; and so continued debating without any design to yield to the Commons,
+till the King come in, and sent for the Commons, where the Speaker made a
+short but silly speech, about their giving Him L300,000; and then the
+several Bills, their titles were read, and the King's assent signified in
+the proper terms, according to the nature of the Bills, of which about
+three or four were public Bills, and seven or eight private ones, the
+additional Bills for the building of the City and the Bill against
+Conventicles being none of them.  The King did make a short, silly speech,
+which he read, giving them thanks for the money, which now, he said, he
+did believe would be sufficient, because there was peace between his
+neighbours, which was a kind of a slur, methought, to the Commons; and
+that he was sorry for what he heard of difference between the two Houses,
+but that he hoped their recesse would put them into a way of
+accommodation; and so adjourned them to the 9th of August, and then
+recollected himself, and told them the 11th; so imperfect a speaker he is.
+So the Commons went to their House, and forthwith adjourned; and the Lords
+resumed their House, the King being gone, and sat an hour or two after,
+but what they did, I cannot tell; but every body expected they would
+commit Sir Andrew Rickard, Sir Samuel Barnardiston, Mr. Boone, and Mr.
+Wynne, who were all there, and called in, upon their knees, to the bar of
+the House; and Sir John Robinson I left there, endeavouring to prevent
+their being committed to the Tower, lest he should thereby be forced to
+deny their order, because of this vote of the Commons, whereof he is one,
+which is an odde case.
+
+     [This "odd case" was that of Thomas Skinner and the East India
+     Company.  According to Ralph, the Commons had ordered Skinner, the
+     plaintiff, into the custody of the Serjeant-at-Arms, and the Lords
+     did the same by Sir Samuel Barnadiston, deputy-governor of the
+     company, as likewise Sir Andrew Rickard, Mr. Rowland Gwynn, and Mr.
+     Christopher Boone.--B.]
+
+Thence I to the Rose Taverne in Covent Garden, and there sent for a pullet
+and dined all alone, being to meet Sir W. Pen, who by and by come, and he
+and I into the King's house, and there "The Mayd's Tragedy," a good play,
+but Knepp not there; and my head and eyes out of order, the first from my
+drinking wine at dinner, and the other from my much work in the morning.
+Thence parted, and I towards the New Exchange and there bought a pair of
+black silk stockings at the hosier's that hath the very pretty woman to
+his wife, about ten doors on this side of the 'Change, and she is indeed
+very pretty, but I think a notable talking woman by what I heard to others
+there.  Thence to Westminster Hall, where I hear the Lords are up, but
+what they have done I know not, and so walked toward White Hall and thence
+by water to the Tower, and so home and there to my letters, and so to Sir
+W. Pen's; and there did talk with Mrs. Lowther, who is very kind to me,
+more than usual, and I will make use of it.  She begins to draw very well,
+and I think do as well, if not better, than my wife, if it be true that
+she do it herself, what she shews me, and so to bed, and my head akeing
+all night with the wine I drank to-day, and my eyes ill.  So lay long, my
+head pretty well in the morning.
+
+10th (Lord's day).  Up, and to the office, there to do, business till
+church time, when Mr. Shepley, newly come to town, come to see me, and we
+had some discourse of all matters, and particularly of my Lord Sandwich's
+concernments, and here did by the by as he would seem tell me that my
+Lady--[Lady Sandwich.]--had it in her thoughts, if she had occasion, to,
+borrow L100 of me, which I did not declare any opposition to, though I
+doubt it will be so much lost.  But, however, I will not deny my Lady, if
+she ask it, whatever comes of it, though it be lost; but shall be glad
+that it is no bigger sum.  And yet it vexes me though, and the more
+because it brings into my head some apprehensions what trouble I may here
+after be brought to when my Lord comes home, if he should ask me to come
+into bonds with him, as I fear he will have occasions to make money, but I
+hope I shall have the wit to deny it.  He being gone, I to church, and so
+home, and there comes W. Hewer and Balty, and by and by I sent for Mercer
+to come and dine with me, and pretty merry, and after dinner I fell to
+teach her "Canite Jehovae," which she did a great part presently, and so
+she away, and I to church, and from church home with my Lady Pen; and,
+after being there an hour or so talking, I took her, and Mrs. Lowther, and
+old Mrs. Whistler, her mother-in-law, by water with great pleasure as far
+as Chelsy, and so back to Spring Garden, at Fox-hall, and there walked,
+and eat, and drank, and so to water again, and set down the old woman at
+home at Durham Yard:' and it raining all the way, it troubled us; but,
+however, my cloak kept us all dry, and so home, and at the Tower wharf
+there we did send for a pair of old shoes for Mrs. Lowther, and there I
+did pull the others off and put them on, elle being peu shy, but do speak
+con mighty kindness to me that she would desire me pour su mari if it were
+to be done .  .  .  .  .  Here staid a little at Sir W. Pen's, who was
+gone to bed, it being about eleven at night, and so I home to bed.
+
+11th.  Up, and to my office, where alone all the morning.  About noon
+comes to me my cousin Sarah, and my aunt Livett, newly come out of
+Gloucestershire, good woman, and come to see me; I took them home, and
+made them drink, but they would not stay dinner, I being alone.  But here
+they tell me that they hear that this day Kate Joyce was to be married to
+a man called Hollingshed, whom she indeed did once tell me of, and desired
+me to enquire after him.  But, whatever she said of his being rich, I do
+fear, by her doing this without my advice, it is not as it ought to be;
+but, as she brews, let her bake.  They being gone, I to dinner with Balty
+and his wife, who is come to town to-day from Deptford to see us, and
+after dinner I out and took a coach, and called Mercer, and she and I to
+the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw "The Tempest," and between two
+acts, I went out to Mr. Harris, and got him to repeat to me the words of
+the Echo, while I writ them down, having tried in the play to have wrote
+them; but, when I had done it, having done it without looking upon my
+paper, I find I could not read the blacklead. But now I have got the words
+clear, and, in going in thither, had the pleasure to see the actors in
+their several dresses, especially the seamen and monster, which were very
+droll: so into the play again.  But there happened one thing which vexed
+me, which is, that the orange-woman did come in the pit, and challenge me
+for twelve oranges, which she delivered by my order at a late play, at
+night, to give to some ladies in a box, which was wholly untrue, but yet
+she swore it to be true.  But, however, I did deny it, and did not pay
+her; but, for quiet, did buy 4s. worth of oranges of her, at 6d. a-piece.
+Here I saw first my Lord Ormond since his coming from Ireland, which is
+now about eight days.  After the play done, I took Mercer by water to
+Spring Garden; and there with great pleasure walked, and eat, and drank,
+and sang, making people come about us, to hear us, and two little children
+of one of our neighbours that happened to be there, did come into our
+arbour, and we made them dance prettily.  So by water, with great
+pleasure, down to the Bridge, and there landed, and took water again on
+the other side; and so to the Tower, and I saw her home, I myself home to
+my chamber, and by and by to bed.
+
+12th.  Up, and to the office, where we sat, and sat all the morning. Here
+Lord Anglesey was with us, and in talk about the late difference between
+the two Houses, do tell us that he thinks the House of Lords may be in an
+error, at least, it is possible they may, in this matter of Skinner; and
+he doubts they may, and did declare his judgement in the House of Lords
+against their proceedings therein, he having hindered 100 originall causes
+being brought into their House, notwithstanding that he was put upon
+defending their proceedings: but that he is confident that the House of
+Commons are in the wrong, in the method they take to remedy an error of
+the Lords, for no vote of theirs can do it; but, in all like cases, the
+Commons have done it by petition to the King, sent up to the Lords, and by
+them agreed to, and so redressed, as they did in the Petition of Right.
+He says that he did tell them indeed, which is talked of, and which did
+vex the Commons, that the Lords were "Judices nati et Conciliarii nati;"
+but all other judges among us are under salary, and the Commons themselves
+served for wages; and therefore the Lords, in reason, were the freer
+judges.  At noon to dinner at home, and after dinner, where Creed dined
+with me, he and I, by water to the Temple, where we parted, and I both to
+the King's and Duke of York's playhouses, and there went through the
+houses to see what faces I could spy that I knew, and meeting none, I away
+by coach to my house, and then to Mrs. Mercer's, where I met with her two
+daughters, and a pretty-lady I never knew yet, one Mrs. Susan Gayet, a
+very pretty black lady, that speaks French well, and is a Catholick, and
+merchant's daughter, by us, and here was also Mrs. Anne Jones, and after
+sitting and talking a little, I took them out, and carried them through
+Hackney to Kingsland, and there walked to Sir G. Whitmore's house, where I
+have not been many a day; and so to the old house at Islington, and eat,
+and drank, and sang, and mighty merry; and so by moonshine with infinite
+pleasure home, and there sang again in Mercer's garden.  And so parted, I
+having there seen a mummy in a merchant's warehouse there, all the middle
+of the man or woman's body, black and hard.  I never saw any before, and,
+therefore, it pleased me much, though an ill sight; and he did give me a
+little bit, and a bone of an arme, I suppose, and so home, and there to
+bed.
+
+13th.  Up, and by water to White Hall, and so to Sir H. Cholmly's, who not
+being up I made a short visit to Sir W. Coventry, and he and I through the
+Park to White Hall, and thence I back into the Park, and there met Sir H.
+Cholmly, and he and I to Sir Stephen Fox's, where we met and considered
+the business of the Excise, how far it is charged in reference to the
+payment of the Guards and Tangier.  Thence he and I walked to Westminster
+Hall and there took a turn, it being holyday, and so back again, and I to
+the mercer's, and my tailor's about a stuff suit that I am going to make.
+Thence, at noon, to Hercules Pillars, and there dined all alone, and so to
+White Hall, some of us attended the Duke of York as usual, and so to
+attend the Council about the business of Hemskirke's project of building a
+ship that sails two feet for one of any other ship, which the Council did
+agree to be put in practice, the King to give him, if it proves good,
+L5000 in hand, and L15,000 more in seven years, which, for my part, I
+think a piece of folly for them to meddle with, because the secret cannot
+be long kept.  So thence, after Council, having drunk some of the King's
+wine and water with Mr. Chevins, my Lord Brouncker, and some others, I by
+water to the Old Swan, and there to Michell's, and did see her and drink
+there, but he being there je ne baiser la; and so back again by water to
+Spring Garden all alone, and walked a little, and so back again home, and
+there a little to my viall, and so to bed, Mrs. Turner having sat and
+supped with me.  This morning I hear that last night Sir Thomas Teddiman,
+poor man! did die by a thrush in his mouth: a good man, and stout and
+able, and much lamented; though people do make a little mirth, and say, as
+I believe it did in good part, that the business of the Parliament did
+break his heart, or, at least, put him into this fever and disorder, that
+caused his death.
+
+14th.  Up, and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and at noon
+home to dinner with my people, but did not stay to dine out with them, but
+rose and straight by water to the Temple, and so to Penny's, my tailor's,
+where by and by by agreement Mercer, and she, to my great content, brings
+Mrs. Gayet, and I carried them to the King's house; but, coming too soon,
+we out again to the Rose taverne, and there I did give them a tankard of
+cool drink, the weather being very hot, and then into the playhouse again,
+and there saw "The Country Captain," a very dull play, that did give us no
+content, and besides, little company there, which made it very unpleasing.
+Thence to the waterside, at Strand bridge, and so up by water and to
+Fox-hall, where we walked a great while, and pleased mightily with the
+pleasure thereof, and the company there, and then in, and eat and drank,
+and then out again and walked, and it beginning to be dark, we to a corner
+and sang, that everybody got about us to hear us; and so home, where I saw
+them both at their doors, and, full of the content of this afternoon's
+pleasure, I home and to walk in the garden a little, and so home to bed.
+
+15th.  Up, and betimes to White Hall, and there met with Sir H. Cholmly at
+Sir Stephen Fox's, and there was also the Cofferer, and we did there
+consider about our money and the condition of the Excise, and after much
+dispute agreed upon a state thereof and the manner of our future course of
+payments.  Thence to the Duke of York, and there did a little navy
+business as we used to do, and so to a Committee for Tangier, where God
+knows how my Lord Bellasses's accounts passed; understood by nobody but my
+Lord Ashly, who, I believe, was mad to let them go as he pleased.  But
+here Sir H. Cholmly had his propositions read, about a greater price for
+his work of the Mole, or to do it upon account, which, being read, he was
+bid to withdraw.  But, Lord! to see how unlucky a man may be, by chance;
+for, making an unfortunate minute when they were almost tired with the
+other business, the Duke of York did find fault with it, and that made all
+the rest, that I believe he had better have given a great deal, and had
+nothing said to it to-day; whereas, I have seen other things more
+extravagant passed at first hearing, without any difficulty.  Thence I to
+my Lord Brouncker's, at Mrs. Williams's, and there dined, and she did shew
+me her closet, which I was sorry to see, for fear of her expecting
+something from me; and here she took notice of my wife's not once coming
+to see her, which I am glad of; for she shall not--a prating, vain, idle
+woman.  Thence with Lord Brouncker to Loriners'-hall,
+
+     [The Loriners, or Lorimers (bit-makers), of London are by reputation
+     an ancient mistery, but they were first incorporated by letters
+     patent of 10 Queen Anne (December 3rd, 1711).  Their small hall was
+     at the corner of Basinghall Street in London Wall.  The company has
+     no hall now.]
+
+by Mooregate, a hall I never heard of before, to Sir Thomas Teddiman's
+burial, where most people belonging to the sea were.  And here we had
+rings: and here I do hear that some of the last words that he said were,
+that he had a very good King, God bless him!  but that the Parliament had
+very ill rewarded him for all the service he had endeavoured to do them
+and his country; so that, for certain, this did go far towards his death.
+But, Lord!  to see among [the company] the young commanders, and Thomas
+Killigrew and others that come, how unlike a burial this was, O'Brian
+taking out some ballads out of his pocket, which I read, and the rest come
+about me to hear! and there very merry we were all, they being new
+ballets.  By and by the corpse went; and I, with my Lord Brouncker, and
+Dr. Clerke, and Mr. Pierce, as far as the foot of London-bridge; and there
+we struck off into Thames Street, the rest going to Redriffe, where he is
+to be buried.  And we 'light at the Temple, and there parted; and I to the
+King's house, and there saw the last act of "The Committee," thinking to
+have seen Knepp there, but she did not act.  And so to my bookseller's,
+and there carried home some books-among others, "Dr. Wilkins's Reall
+Character," and thence to Mrs. Turner's, and there went and sat, and she
+showed me her house from top to bottom, which I had not seen before, very
+handsome, and here supped, and so home, and got Mercer, and she and I in
+the garden singing till ten at night, and so home to a little supper, and
+then parted, with great content, and to bed.  The Duchesse of Monmouth's
+hip is, I hear, now set again, after much pain.  I am told also that the
+Countess of Shrewsbury is brought home by the Duke of Buckingham to his
+house, where his Duchess saying that it was not for her and the other to
+live together in a house, he answered,  Why, Madam, I did think so, and,
+therefore, have ordered your coach to be ready, to carry you to your
+father's, which was a devilish speech, but, they say, true; and my Lady
+Shrewsbury is there, it seems.
+
+16th.  Up; and to the Office, where we sat all the morning; and at noon,
+home with my people to dinner; and thence to the Office all the afternoon,
+till, my eyes weary, I did go forth by coach to the King's playhouse, and
+there saw the best part of "The Sea Voyage," where Knepp I see do her part
+of sorrow very well.  I afterwards to her house; but she did not come
+presently home; and there je did kiss her ancilla, which is so mighty
+belle; and I to my tailor's, and to buy me a belt for my new suit against
+to-morrow; and so home, and there to my Office, and afterwards late
+walking in the garden; and so home to supper, and to bed, after Nell's
+cutting of my hair close, the weather being very hot.
+
+17th (Lord's day).  Up, and put on my new stuff-suit, with a
+shoulder-belt, according to the new fashion, and the bands of my vest and
+tunique laced with silk lace, of the colour of my suit: and so, very
+handsome, to Church, where a dull sermon and of a stranger, and so home;
+and there I find W. Howe, and a younger brother of his, come to dine with
+me; and there comes Mercer, and brings with her Mrs. Gayet, which pleased
+me mightily; and here was also W. Hewer, and mighty merry; and after
+dinner to sing psalms.  But, Lord! to hear what an excellent base this
+younger brother of W. Howe's sings, even to my astonishment, and mighty
+pleasant. By and by Gayet goes away, being a Catholick, to her devotions,
+and Mercer to church; but we continuing an hour or two singing, and so
+parted; and I to Sir W. Pen's, and there sent for a hackney-coach; and he
+and she [Lady Pen] and I out, to take the gyre.  We went to Stepney, and
+there stopped at the Trinity House, he to talk with the servants there
+against to-morrow, which is a great day for the choice of a new Master,
+and thence to Mile End, and there eat and drank, and so home; and I supped
+with them--that is, eat some butter and radishes, which is my excuse for
+not eating any other of their victuals, which I hate, because of their
+sluttery: and so home, and made my boy read to me part of Dr. Wilkins's
+new book of the "Real Character;" and so to bed.
+
+18th.  Up, and to my office, where most of the morning doing business and
+seeing my window-frames new painted, and then I out by coach to my Lord
+Bellasses, at his new house by my late Lord Treasurer's, and there met him
+and Mr. Sherwin, Auditor Beale, and Creed, about my Lord's accounts, and
+here my Lord shewed me his new house, which, indeed, is mighty noble, and
+good pictures--indeed, not one bad one in it.  Thence to my tailor's, and
+there did find Mercer come with Mrs. Horsfield and Gayet according to my
+desire, and there I took them up, it being almost twelve o'clock, or a
+little more, and carried them to the King's playhouse, where the doors
+were not then open; but presently they did open; and we in, and find many
+people already come in, by private ways, into the pit, it being the first
+day of Sir Charles Sidly's new play, so long expected, "The Mullberry
+Guarden," of whom, being so reputed a wit, all the world do expect great
+matters.  I having sat here awhile, and eat nothing to-day, did slip out,
+getting a boy to keep my place; and to the Rose Tavern, and there got half
+a breast of mutton, off of the spit, and dined all alone.  And so to the
+play again, where the King and Queen, by and by, come, and all the Court;
+and the house infinitely full.  But the play, when it come, though there
+was, here and there, a pretty saying, and that not very many neither, yet
+the whole of the play had nothing extraordinary in it, at all, neither of
+language nor design; insomuch that the King I did not see laugh, nor
+pleased the whole play from the beginning to the end, nor the company;
+insomuch that I have not been less pleased at a new play in my life, I
+think.  And which made it the worse was, that there never was worse musick
+played--that is, worse things composed, which made me and Captain Rolt,
+who happened to sit near me, mad.  So away thence, very little satisfied
+with the play, but pleased with my company.  I carried them to Kensington,
+to the Grotto, and there we sang, to my great content, only vexed, in
+going in, to see a son of Sir Heneage Finch's beating of a poor little dog
+to death, letting it lie in so much pain that made me mad to see it, till,
+by and by, the servants of the house chiding of their young master, one of
+them come with a thong, and killed the dog outright presently.  Thence to
+Westminster palace, and there took boat and to Fox Hall, where we walked,
+and eat, and drank, and sang, and very merry.  But I find Mrs. Horsfield
+one of the veriest citizen's wives in the world, so full of little silly
+talk, and now and then a little sillily bawdy, that I believe if you had
+her sola a man might hazer all with her.  So back by water to Westminster
+Palace, and there got a coach which carried us as far as the Minorys, and
+there some thing of the traces broke, and we forced to 'light, and walked
+to Mrs. Horsfield's house, it being a long and bad way, and dark, and
+having there put her in a doors, her husband being in bed, we left her and
+so back to our coach, where the coachman had put it in order, but could
+not find his whip in the dark a great while, which made us stay long.  At
+last getting a neighbour to hold a candle out of their window Mercer found
+it, and so away we home at almost 12 at night, and setting them both at
+their homes, I home and to bed.
+
+19th.  Up, and called on Mr. Pierce, who tells me that after all this ado
+Ward is come to town, and hath appeared to the Commissioners of Accounts
+and given such answers as he thinks will do every body right, and let the
+world see that their great expectations and jealousies have been vain in
+this matter of the prizes.  The Commissioners were mighty inquisitive
+whether he was not instructed by letters or otherwise from hence from my
+Lord Sandwich's friends what to say and do, and particularly from me,
+which he did wholly deny, as it was true, I not knowing the man that I
+know of.  He tells me also that, for certain, Mr. Vaughan is made Lord
+Chief justice, which I am glad of.  He tells me, too; that since my Lord
+of Ormond's coming over, the King begins to be mightily reclaimed, and
+sups every night with great pleasure with the Queene: and yet, it seems,
+he is mighty hot upon the Duchess of Richmond; insomuch that, upon Sunday
+was se'nnight, at night, after he had ordered his Guards and coach to be
+ready to carry him to the Park, he did, on a sudden, take a pair of oars
+or sculler, and all alone, or but one with him, go to Somersett House, and
+there, the garden-door not being open, himself clamber over the walls to
+make a visit to her, which is a horrid shame.  He gone, I to the office,
+where we sat all the morning, Sir W. Pen sick of the gout comes not out.
+After dinner at home, to White Hall, it being a very rainy day, and there
+a Committee for Tangier, where I was mightily pleased to see Sir W.
+Coventry fall upon my Lord Bellasses' business of the 3d. in every piece
+of it which he would get to himself, making the King pay 4s. 9d, while he
+puts them off for 4s. 6d., so that Sir W. Coventry continues still the
+same man for the King's good.  But here Creed did vex me with saying that
+I ought first to have my account past by the Commissioners of Tangier
+before in the Exchequer.  Thence W. Coventry and I in the Matted gallery,
+and there he did talk very well to me about the way to save the credit of
+the officers of the Navy, and their places too, by making use of this
+interval of Parliament to be found to be mending of matters in the Navy,
+and that nothing but this will do it, and gives an instance in themselves
+of the Treasury, whereof himself and Sir John Duncombe all the world knows
+have enemies, and my Lord Ashly a man obnoxious to most, and Sir Thomas
+Clifford one that as a man suddenly rising and a creature of my Lord
+Arlington's hath enemies enough (none of them being otherwise but the Duke
+of Albemarle), yet with all this fault they hear nothing of the business
+of the Treasury, but all well spoken of there.  He is for the removal of
+Sir John Minnes, thinking that thereby the world will see a greater change
+in the hands than now they do; and I will endeavour it, and endeavour to
+do some good in the office also.  So home by coach, and to the office,
+where ended my letters, and then home, and there got Balty to read to me
+out of Sorbiere's Observations in his Voyage into England, and then to
+bed.
+
+20th.  Up, and with Colonell Middleton, in a new coach he hath made him,
+very handsome, to White Hall, where the Duke of York having removed his
+lodgings for this year to St. James's, we walked thither; and there find
+the Duke of York coming to White Hall, and so back to the Council-chamber,
+where the Committee of the Navy sat; and here we discoursed several
+things; but, Lord! like fools; so as it was a shame to see things of this
+importance managed by a Council that understand nothing of them: and,
+among other things, one was about this building of a ship with Hemskirke's
+secret, to sail a third faster than any other ship; but he hath got Prince
+Rupert on his side, and by that means, I believe, will get his conditions
+made better than he would otherwise, or ought indeed. Having done there, I
+met with Sir Richard Browne, and he took me to dinner with him to a new
+tavern, above Charing Cross, where some clients of his did give him a good
+dinner, and good company; among others, one Bovy, a solicitor, and lawyer
+and merchant all together, who hath travelled very much, did talk some
+things well; but only he is a "Sir Positive:" but the talk of their
+travels over the Alps very fine.  Thence walked to the King's playhouse,
+and saw "The Mulberry Garden" again, and cannot be reconciled to it, but
+only to find here and there an independent sentence of wit, and that is
+all.  Here met with Creed; and took him to Hales's, and there saw the
+beginnings of Harris's head which he draws for me, which I do not yet
+like.  So he and I down to the New Exchange, and there cheapened ribbands
+for my wife, and so down to the Whey house and drank some and eat some
+curds, which did by and by make my belly ake mightily.  So he and I to
+White Hall, and walked over the Park to the Mulberry-Garden,
+
+     [On the site of the present Buckingham Palace and gardens.
+     Originally a garden of mulberry trees, planted by James I. in 1609
+     with the intention of cultivating the manufacture of English silks.]
+
+where I never was before; and find it a very silly place, worse than
+Spring-garden, and but little company, and those a rascally, whoring,
+roguing sort of people, only a wilderness here, that is somewhat pretty,
+but rude.  Did not stay to drink, but walked an hour and so away to
+Charing Cross, and there took coach and away home, in my way going into
+Bishopsgate Street, to bespeak places for myself and boy to go to
+Cambridge in the coach this week, and so to Brampton, to see my wife.  So
+home, and to supper and to bed.
+
+21st.  Up, and busy to send some things into the country, and then to the
+Office, where meets me Sir Richard Ford, who among other things
+congratulates me, as one or two did yesterday, [on] my great purchase; and
+he advises me rather to forbear, if it be not done, as a thing that the
+world will envy me in: and what is it but my cozen Tom Pepys's buying of
+Martin Abbey, in Surry! which is a mistake I am sorry for, and yet do fear
+that it may spread in the world to my prejudice.  All the morning at the
+office, and at noon my clerks dined with me, and there do hear from them
+how all the town is full of the talk of a meteor, or some fire, that did
+on Saturday last fly over the City at night, which do put me in mind that,
+being then walking in the dark an hour or more myself in the garden, after
+I had done writing, I did see a light before me come from behind me, which
+made me turn back my head; and I did see a sudden fire or light running in
+the sky, as it were towards Cheapside ward, and it vanished very quick,
+which did make me bethink myself what holyday it was, and took it for some
+rocket, though it was much brighter than any rocket, and so thought no
+more of it, but it seems Mr. Hater and Gibson going home that night did
+meet with many clusters of people talking of it, and many people of the
+towns about the city did see it, and the world do make much discourse of
+it, their apprehensions being mighty full of the rest of the City to be
+burned, and the Papists to cut our throats. Which God prevent!  Thence
+after dinner I by coach to the Temple, and there bought a new book of
+songs set to musique by one Smith of Oxford, some songs of Mr. Cowley's,
+and so to Westminster, and there to walk a little in the Hall, and so to
+Mrs. Martin's, and there did hazer cet que je voudrai mit her, and drank
+and sat most of the afternoon with her and her sister, and here she
+promises me her fine starling, which was the King's, and speaks finely,
+which I shall be glad of, and so walked to the Temple, meeting in the
+street with my cozen Alcocke, the young man, that is a good sober youth, I
+have not seen these four or five years, newly come to town to look for
+employment: but I cannot serve him, though I think he deserves well, and
+so I took coach and home to my business, and in the evening took Mrs.
+Turner and Mercer out to Mile End and drank, and then home, and sang; and
+eat a dish of greene pease, the first I have seen this year, given me by
+Mr. Gibson, extraordinary young and pretty, and so saw them at home, and
+so home to bed.  Sir W. Pen continues ill of the gout.
+
+22nd.  Up, and all the morning at the office busy.  At noon home with my
+people to dinner, where good discourse and merry.  After dinner comes Mr.
+Martin, the purser, and brings me his wife's starling, which was formerly
+the King's bird, that do speak and whistle finely, which I am mighty proud
+of and shall take pleasure in it.  Thence to the Duke of York's house to a
+play, and saw Sir Martin Marr-all, where the house is full; and though I
+have seen it, I think, ten times, yet the pleasure I have is yet as great
+as ever, and is undoubtedly the best comedy ever was wrote. Thence to my
+tailor's and a mercer's for patterns to carry my wife of cloth and silk
+for a bed, which I think will please her and me, and so home, and fitted
+myself for my journey to-morrow, which I fear will not be pleasant,
+because of the wet weather, it raining very hard all this day; but the
+less it troubles me because the King and Duke of York and Court are at
+this day at Newmarket, at a great horse-race, and proposed great pleasure
+for two or three days, but are in the same wet.  So from the office home
+to supper, and betimes to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up by four o'clock; and, getting my things ready, and recommending
+the care of my house to W. Hewer, I with my boy Tom, whom I take with me,
+to the Bull, in Bishopsgate Street, and there, about six, took coach, he
+and I, and a gentleman and his man, there being another coach also, with
+as many more, I think, in it; and so away to Bishop's Stafford, and there
+dined, and changed horses and coach, at Mrs. Aynsworth's; but I took no
+knowledge of her.  Here the gentleman and I to dinner, and in comes
+Captain Forster, an acquaintance of his, he that do belong to my Lord
+Anglesey, who had been at the late horse-races at Newmarket, where the
+King now is, and says that they had fair weather there yesterday, though
+we here, and at London, had nothing but rain, insomuch that the ways are
+mighty full of water, so as hardly to be passed.  Here I hear Mrs.
+Aynsworth is going to live at London: but I believe will be mistaken in
+it; for it will be found better for her to be chief where she is, than to
+have little to do at London.  There being many finer than she there. After
+dinner away again and come to Cambridge, after much bad way, about nine at
+night; and there, at the Rose, I met my father's horses, with a man,
+staying for me.  But it is so late, and the waters so deep, that I durst
+not go to-night; but after supper to bed; and there lay very ill, by
+reason of some drunken scholars making a noise all night, and vexed for
+fear that the horses should not be taken up from grass, time enough for
+the morning.  Well pleased all this journey with the conversation of him
+that went with me, who I think is a lawyer, and lives about Lynne, but his
+name I did not ask.
+
+24th (Lord's day).  I up, at between two and three in the morning, and,
+calling up my boy, and father's boy, we set out by three o'clock, it being
+high day; end so through the water with very good success, though very
+deep almost all the way, and got to Brampton, where most of them in bed,
+and so I weary up to my wife's chamber, whom I find in bed, and pretended
+a little not well, and indeed she hath those upon her, but fell to talk
+and mightily pleased both of us, and upgot the rest, Betty Turner and
+Willet and Jane, all whom I was glad to see, and very merry, and got me
+ready in my new stuff clothes that I send down before me, and so my wife
+and they got ready too, while I to my father, poor man, and walked with
+him up and down the house--it raining a little, and the waters all over
+Portholme and the meadows, so as no pleasure abroad.  Here I saw my
+brothers and sister Jackson, she growing fat, and, since being married, I
+think looks comelier than before: but a mighty pert woman she is, and I
+think proud, he keeping her mighty handsome, and they say mighty fond, and
+are going shortly to live at Ellington of themselves, and will keep
+malting, and grazing of cattle.  At noon comes Mr. Phillips and dines with
+us, and a pretty odd-humoured man he seems to be; but good withal, but of
+mighty great methods in his eating and drinking, and will not kiss a woman
+since his wife's death.  After dinner my Lady Sandwich sending to see
+whether I was come, I presently took horse, and find her and her family at
+chapel; and thither I went in to them, and sat out the sermon, where I
+heard Jervas Fullwood, now their chaplain, preach a very good and seraphic
+kind of sermon, too good for an ordinary congregation.  After sermon, I
+with my Lady, and my Lady Hinchingbroke, and Paulina, and Lord
+Hinchingbroke, to the dining-room, saluting none of them, and there sat
+and talked an hour or two, with great pleasure and satisfaction, to my
+Lady, about my Lord's matters; but I think not with that satisfaction to
+her, or me, that otherwise would, she knowing that she did design
+tomorrow, and I remaining all the while in fear, of being asked to lend
+her some money, as I was afterward, when I had taken leave of her, by Mr.
+Shepley, L100, which I will not deny my Lady, and am willing to be found
+when my Lord comes home to have done something of that kind for them, and
+so he riding to Brampton and supping there with me he did desire it of me
+from my Lady, and I promised it, though much against my will, for I fear
+it is as good as lost.  After supper, where very merry, we to bed, myself
+very weary and to sleep all night.
+
+25th.  Waked betimes, and lay long .  .  .  .  and there fell to talking,
+and by and by rose, it being the first fair day, and yet not quite fair,
+that we have had some time, and so up, and to walk with my father again in
+the garden, consulting what to do with him and this house when Pall and
+her husband go away; and I think it will be to let it, and he go live with
+her, though I am against letting the house for any long time, because of
+having it to retire to, ourselves.  So I do intend to think more of it
+before I resolve.  By and by comes Mr. Cooke to see me and so spent the
+morning, and he gone by and by at noon to dinner, where Mr. Shepley come
+and we merry, all being in good humour between my wife and her people
+about her, and after dinner took horse, I promising to fetch her away
+about fourteen days hence, and so calling all of us, we men on horseback,
+and the women and my father, at Goody Gorum's, and there in a frolic
+drinking I took leave, there going with me and my boy, my two brothers,
+and one Browne, whom they call in mirth Colonell, for our guide, and also
+Mr. Shepley, to the end of Huntingdon, and another gentleman who
+accidentally come thither, one Mr. Castle; and I made them drink at the
+Chequers, where I observed the same tapster, Tom, that was there when I
+was a little boy and so we, at the end of the town, took leave of Shepley
+and the other gentleman, and so we away and got well to Cambridge, about
+seven to the Rose, the waters not being now so high as before.  And here
+'lighting, I took my boy and two brothers, and walked to Magdalene
+College: and there into the butterys, as a stranger, and there drank my
+bellyfull of their beer, which pleased me, as the best I ever drank: and
+hear by the butler's man, who was son to Goody Mulliner over against the
+College, that we used to buy stewed prunes of, concerning the College and
+persons in it; and find very few, only Mr. Hollins and Pechell, I think,
+that were of my time.  But I was mightily pleased to come in this
+condition to see and ask, and thence, giving the fellow something, away
+walked to Chesterton, to see our old walk, and there into the Church, the
+bells ringing, and saw the place I used to sit in, and so to the ferry,
+and ferried over to the other side, and walked with great pleasure, the
+river being mighty high by Barnewell Abbey: and so by Jesus College to the
+town, and so to our quarters, and to supper, and then to bed, being very
+weary and sleepy and mightily pleased with this night's walk.
+
+26th.  Up by four o'clock; and by the time we were ready, and had eat, we
+were called to the coach, where about six o'clock we set out, there being
+a man and two women of one company, ordinary people, and one lady alone,
+that is tolerably handsome, but mighty well spoken, whom I took great
+pleasure in talking to, and did get her to read aloud in a book she was
+reading, in the coach, being the King's Meditations;--[The meditations on
+death, and prayers used by Charles I. shortly before his execution]--and
+then the boy and I to sing, and so about noon come to Bishop's Stafford,
+to another house than what we were at the other day, and better used. And
+here I paid for the reckoning 11s., we dining together, and pretty merry;
+and then set out again, sleeping most part of the way; and got to
+Bishopsgate Street before eight o'clock, the waters being now most of them
+down, and we avoiding the bad way in the forest by a privy way, which
+brought us to Hodsden; and so to Tibalds, that road, which was mighty
+pleasant.  So home, where we find all well, and brother Balty and his wife
+looking to the house, she mighty fine, in a new gold-laced 'just a cour'.
+I shifted myself, and so to see Mrs. Turner, and Mercer appearing over the
+way, called her in, and sat and talked, and then home to my house by and
+by, and there supped and talked mighty merry, and then broke up and to
+bed, being a little vexed at what W. Hewer tells me Sir John Shaw did this
+day in my absence say at the Board, complaining of my doing of him injury
+and the board permitting it, whereas they had more reason to except
+against his attributing that to me alone which I could not do but with
+their condent and direction, it being to very good service to the King,
+and which I shall be proud to have imputed to me alone.  The King I hear
+come to town last night.
+
+27th.  Up, and to the office, where some time upon Sir D. Gawden's
+accounts, and then I by water to Westminster for some Tangier orders, and
+so meeting with Mr. Sawyers my old chamber-fellow, he and I by water
+together to the Temple, he giving me an account of the base, rude usage,
+which he and Sir G. Carteret had lately, before the Commissioners of
+Accounts, where he was, as Counsel to Sir G. Carteret, which I was sorry
+to hear, they behaving themselves like most insolent and ill-mannered men.
+Thence by coach to the Exchange, and there met with Sir H. Cholmly at
+Colvill's; and there did give him some orders, and so home, and there to
+the office again, where busy till two o'clock, and then with Sir D. Gawden
+to his house, with my Lord Brouncker and Sir J. Minnes, to dinner, where
+we dined very well, and much good company, among others, a Dr., a fat man,
+whom by face I know, as one that uses to sit in our church, that after
+dinner did take me out, and walked together, who told me that he had now
+newly entered himself into Orders, in the decay of the Church, and did
+think it his duty so to do, thereby to do his part toward the support and
+reformation thereof; and spoke very soberly, and said that just about the
+same age Dr. Donne did enter into Orders.  I find him a sober gentleman,
+and a man that hath seen much of the world, and I think may do good.
+Thence after dinner to the office, and there did a little business, and so
+to see Sir W. Pen, who I find still very ill of the goute, sitting in his
+great chair, made on purpose for persons sick of that disease, for their
+ease; and this very chair, he tells me, was made for my Lady Lambert!
+Thence I by coach to my tailor's, there to direct about the making of me
+another suit, and so to White Hall, and through St. James's Park to St.
+James's, thinking to have met with Mr. Wren, but could not, and so
+homeward toward the New Exchange, and meeting Mr. Creed he and I to drink
+some whey at the whey-house, and so into the 'Change and took a walk or
+two, and so home, and there vexed at my boy's being out of doors till ten
+at night, but it was upon my brother Jackson's business, and so I was the
+less displeased, and then made the boy to read to me out of Dr. Wilkins
+his "Real Character," and particularly about Noah's arke, where he do give
+a very good account thereof, shewing how few the number of the several
+species of beasts and fowls were that were to be in the arke, and that
+there was room enough for them and their food and dung, which do please me
+mightily and is much beyond what ever I heard of the subject, and so to
+bed.
+
+28th.  Up, to set right some little matters of my Tangier accounts, and so
+to the office, where busy all the morning, and then home with my people to
+dinner, and after dinner comes about a petition for a poor woman
+whose-ticket she would get paid, and so talked a little and did baiser
+her, and so to the office, being pleased that this morning my bookseller
+brings me home Marcennus's book of musick,' which costs me L3 2s.; but is
+a very fine book.  So to the office and did some business, and then by
+coach to the New Exchange, and there by agreement at my bookseller's shop
+met Mercer and Gayet, and took them by water, first to one of the
+Neat-houses, where walked in the garden, but nothing but a bottle of wine
+to be had, though pleased with seeing the garden; and so to Fox Hall,
+where with great pleasure we walked, and then to the upper end of the
+further retired walk, and there sat and sang, and brought great many
+gallants and fine people about us, and, upon the bench, we did by and by
+eat and drink what we had, and very merry: and so with much pleasure to
+the Old Swan, and walked with them home, and there left them, and so I
+home to my business at the office a little, and so to bed.
+
+29th.  Betimes up, and up to my Tangier accounts, and then by water to the
+Council Chamber, and there received some directions from the Duke of York
+and the Committee of the Navy there about casting up the charge of the
+present summer's fleete, that so they may come within the bounds of the
+sum given by the Parliament.  But it is pretty to see how Prince Rupert
+and other mad, silly people, are for setting out but a little fleete,
+there being no occasion for it; and say it will be best to save the money
+for better uses.  But Sir W. Coventry did declare that, in wisdom, it was
+better to do so; but that, in obedience to the Parliament, he was [for]
+setting out the fifty sail talked on, though it spent all the money, and
+to little purpose; and that this was better than to leave it to the
+Parliament to make bad construction of their thrift, if any trouble should
+happen.  Thus wary the world is grown!  Thence back again presently home,
+and did business till noon: and then to Sir G. Carteret's to dinner, with
+much good company, it being the King's birthday, and many healths drunk:
+and here I did receive another letter from my Lord Sandwich, which
+troubles me to see how I have neglected him, in not writing, or but once,
+all this time of his being abroad; and I see he takes notice, but yet
+gently, of it, that it puts me to great trouble, and I know not how to get
+out of it, having no good excuse, and too late now to mend, he being
+coming home.  Thence home, whither, by agreement, by and by comes Mercer
+and Gayet, and two gentlemen with them, Mr. Monteith and Pelham, the
+former a swaggering young handsome gentleman, the latter a sober citizen
+merchant.  Both sing, but the latter with great skill-the other, no skill,
+but a good voice, and a good basse, but used to sing only tavern tunes;
+and so I spent all this evening till eleven at night singing with them,
+till I was tired of them, because of the swaggering fellow with the base,
+though the girl Mercer did mightily commend him before to me.  This night
+je had agreed par' alter at Deptford, there par' avoir lain con the moher
+de Bagwell, but this company did hinder me.
+
+30th.  Up, and put on a new summer black bombazin suit, and so to the
+office; and being come now to an agreement with my barber, to keep my
+perriwig in good order at 20s. a-year, I am like to go very spruce, more
+than I used to do.  All the morning at the office and at noon home to
+dinner, and so to the King's playhouse, and there saw "Philaster;" where
+it is pretty to see how I could remember almost all along, ever since I
+was a boy, Arethusa, the part which I was to have acted at Sir Robert
+Cooke's; and it was very pleasant to me, but more to think what a
+ridiculous thing it would have been for me to have acted a beautiful
+woman.  Thence to Mr. Pierces, and there saw Knepp also, and were merry;
+and here saw my little Lady Katherine Montagu come to town, about her
+eyes, which are sore, and they think the King's evil, poor, pretty lady.
+Here I was freed from a fear that Knepp was angry or might take advantage
+to declare the essay that je did the other day, quand je was con her
+.  .  . Thence to the New Exchange, and there met Harris and Rolt, and one
+Richards, a tailor and great company-keeper, and with these over to Fox
+Hall, and there fell into the company of Harry Killigrew, a rogue newly
+come back out of France, but still in disgrace at our Court, and young
+Newport and others, as very rogues as any in the town, who were ready to
+take hold of every woman that come by them.  And so to supper in an
+arbour: but, Lord! their mad bawdy talk did make my heart ake!  And here I
+first understood by their talk the meaning of the company that lately were
+called Ballets; Harris telling how it was by a meeting of some young
+blades, where he was among them, and my Lady Bennet
+
+     [Evidently adopted as a cant expression.  The woman here alluded to
+     was a procuress well known in her day, and described in the "Tatler"
+     (No. 84) as "the celebrated Madam Bennet."  We further learn, from
+     the "Spectator" (No. 266), that she was the Lady B. to whom
+     Wycherley addressed his ironical dedication of "The Plain Dealer,"
+     which is considered as a masterpiece of raillery.  It is worthy of
+     remark that the fair sex may justly complain of almost every word in
+     the English language designating a woman having, at some time or
+     another, been used as a term of reproach; for we find Mother, Madam,
+     Mistress, and Miss, all denoting women of bad character; and here
+     Pepys adds the title of my Lady to the number, and completes the
+     ungracious catalogue.--B.]
+
+and her ladies; and their there dancing naked, and all the roguish things
+in the world.  But, Lord! what loose cursed company was this, that I was
+in to-night, though full of wit; and worth a man's being in for once, to
+know the nature of it, and their manner of talk, and lives.  Thence set
+Rolt and some of [them] at the New Exchange, and so I home, and my
+business being done at the office, I to bed.
+
+31st (Lord's day).  Up, and to church in the morning.  At noon I sent for
+Mr. Mills and his wife and daughter to dine, and they dined with me, and
+W. Hewer, and very good company, I being in good humour.  They gone to
+church, comes Mr. Tempest, and he and I sang a psalm or two, and so
+parted, and I by water to the New Exchange, and there to Mrs. Pierces,
+where Knepp, and she, and W. Howe, and Mr. Pierce, and little Betty, over
+to Fox Hall, and there walked and supped with great pleasure. Here was
+Mrs. Manuel also, and mighty good company, and good mirth in making W.
+Howe spend his six or seven shillings, and so they called him altogether
+"Cully."  So back, and at Somerset-stairs do understand that a boy is
+newly drowned, washing himself there, and they cannot find his body.  So
+seeing them home, I home by water, W. Howe going with me, and after some
+talk he lay at my house, and all to bed.  Here I hear that Mrs. Davis is
+quite gone from the Duke of York's house, and Gosnell comes in her room,
+which I am glad of.  At the play at Court the other night, Mrs. Davis was
+there; and when she was to come to dance her jigg, the Queene would not
+stay to see it, which people do think it was out of displeasure at her
+being the King's whore, that she could not bear it. My Lady Castlemayne
+is, it seems, now mightily out of request, the King coming little to her,
+and thus she mighty melancholy and discontented.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
