+
+February 1st.  In the morning went to my office where afterwards the old
+man brought me my letters from the carrier.  At noon I went home and dined
+with my wife on pease porridge and nothing else.  After that I went to the
+Hall and there met with Mr. Swan and went with him to Mr. Downing's
+Counsellor, who did put me in very little hopes about the business between
+Mr. Downing and Squib, and told me that Squib would carry it against him,
+at which I was much troubled, and with him went to Lincoln's Inn and there
+spoke with his attorney, who told me the day that was appointed for the
+trial.  From thence I went to Sir Harry Wright's and got him to give me
+his hand for the L60 which I am to-morrow to receive from Mr. Calthrop and
+from thence to Mrs. Jem and spoke with Madam Scott and her husband who did
+promise to have the thing for her neck done this week.  Thence home and
+took Gammer East, and James the porter, a soldier, to my Lord's lodgings,
+who told me how they were drawn into the field to-day, and that they were
+ordered to march away to-morrow to make room for General Monk; but they
+did shut their Colonel Fitch, and the rest of the officers out of the
+field, and swore they would not go without their money, and if they would
+not give it them, they would go where they might have it, and that was the
+City.  So the Colonel went to the Parliament, and commanded what money
+could be got, to be got against to-morrow for them, and all the rest of
+the soldiers in town, who in all places made a mutiny this day, and do
+agree together.  Here I took some bedding to send to Mrs. Ann for her to
+lie in now she hath her fits of the ague.  Thence I went to Will's and
+staid like a fool there and played at cards till 9 o'clock and so came
+home, where I found Mr. Hunt and his wife who staid and sat with me till
+10 and so good night.
+
+2d.  Drank at Harper's with Doling, and so to my office, where I found all
+the officers of the regiments in town, waiting to receive money that their
+soldiers might go out of town, and what was in the Exchequer they had.  At
+noon after dining at home I called at Harper's for Doling, and he and I
+met with Luellin and drank with him at the Exchequer at Charing Cross, and
+thence he and I went to the Temple to Mr. Calthrop's chamber, and from
+thence had his man by water to London Bridge to Mr. Calthrop, a grocer,
+and received L60 for my Lord.  In our way we talked with our waterman,
+White, who told us how the watermen had lately been abused by some that
+had a desire to get in to be watermen to the State, and had lately
+presented an address of nine or ten thousand hands to stand by this
+Parliament, when it was only told them that it was to a petition against
+hackney coaches; and that to-day they had put out another to undeceive the
+world and to clear themselves, and that among the rest Cropp, my waterman
+and one of great practice, was one that did cheat them thus.  After I had
+received the money we went to the Bridge Tavern and drank a quart of wine
+and so back by water, landing Mr. Calthrop's man at the Temple and we went
+homewards, but over against Somerset House, hearing the noise of guns, we
+landed and found the Strand full of soldiers.  So I took my money and went
+to Mrs. Johnson, my Lord's sempstress, and giving her my money to lay up,
+Doling and I went up stairs to a window, and looked out and see the foot
+face the horse and beat them back, and stood bawling and calling in the
+street for a free Parliament and money.  By and by a drum was heard to
+beat a march coming towards them, and they got all ready again and faced
+them, and they proved to be of the same mind with them; and so they made a
+great deal of joy to see one another.  After all this, I took my money,
+and went home on foot and laying up my money, and changing my stockings
+and shoes, I this day having left off my great skirt suit, and put on my
+white suit with silver lace coat, and went over to Harper's, where I met
+with W. Simons, Doling, Luellin and three merchants, one of which had
+occasion to use a porter, so they sent for one, and James the soldier
+came, who told us how they had been all day and night upon their guard at
+St. James's, and that through the whole town they did resolve to stand to
+what they had began, and that to-morrow he did believe they would go into
+the City, and be received there.  After all this we went to a sport
+called, selling of a horse for a dish of eggs and herrings, and sat
+talking there till almost twelve o'clock and then parted, they were to go
+as far as Aldgate.  Home and to bed.
+
+3rd.  Drank my morning draft at Harper's, and was told there that the
+soldiers were all quiet upon promise of pay.  Thence to St. James's Park,
+and walked there to my place for my flageolet and then played a little, it
+being a most pleasant morning and sunshine.  Back to Whitehall, where in
+the guard-chamber I saw about thirty or forty 'prentices of the City, who
+were taken at twelve o'clock last night and brought prisoners hither.
+Thence to my office, where I paid a little more money to some of the
+soldiers under Lieut.-Col. Miller (who held out the Tower against the
+Parliament after it was taken away from Fitch by the Committee of Safety,
+and yet he continued in his office).  About noon Mrs. Turner came to speak
+with me, and Joyce, and I took them and shewed them the manner of the
+Houses sitting, the doorkeeper very civilly opening the door for us.
+Thence with my cozen Roger Pepys,
+
+     [Roger Pepys, son of Talbot Pepys of Impington, a barrister of the
+     Middle Temple, M.P.  for Cambridge, 1661-78, and Recorder of that
+     town, 1660-88.  He married, for the third time, Parnell, daughter
+     and heiress of John Duke, of Workingham, co.  Suffolk, and this was
+     the wedding for which the posy ring was required.]
+
+it being term time, we took him out of the Hall to Priors, the Rhenish
+wine-house, and there had a pint or two of wine and a dish of anchovies,
+and bespoke three or four dozen bottles of wine for him against his
+wedding.  After this done he went away, and left me order to call and pay
+for all that Mrs. Turner would have.  So we called for nothing more there,
+but went and bespoke a shoulder of mutton at Wilkinson's to be roasted as
+well as it could be done, and sent a bottle of wine home to my house.  In
+the meantime she and I and Joyce went walking all over White Hall, whither
+General Monk was newly come, and we saw all his forces march by in very
+good plight and stout officers.  Thence to my house where we dined, but
+with a great deal of patience, for the mutton came in raw, and so we were
+fain to stay the stewing of it.  In the meantime we sat studying a Posy
+
+     [It is supposed that the fashion of having mottoes inscribed on
+     rings was of Roman origin.  In the fourteenth and fifteenth
+     centuries the posy was inscribed on the outside of the ring, and in
+     the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries it was placed inside.  A
+     small volume was published in 1674, entitled "Love's Garland: or
+     Posies for Rings, Handkerchers and Gloves, and such pretty tokens
+     that Lovers send their Loves."]
+
+for a ring for her which she is to have at Roger Pepys his wedding. After
+dinner I left them and went to hear news, but only found that the
+Parliament House was most of them with Monk at White Hall, and that in his
+passing through the town he had many calls to him for a free Parliament,
+but little other welcome.  I saw in the Palace Yard how unwilling some of
+the old soldiers were yet to go out of town without their money, and swore
+if they had it not in three days, as they were promised, they would do
+them more mischief in the country than if they had staid here; and that is
+very likely, the country being all discontented.  The town and guards are
+already full of Monk's soldiers. I returned, and it growing dark I and
+they went to take a turn in the park, where Theoph. (who was sent for to
+us to dinner) outran my wife and another poor woman, that laid a pot of
+ale with me that she would outrun her.  After that I set them as far as
+Charing Cross, and there left them and my wife, and I went to see Mrs.
+Ann, who began very high about a flock bed I sent her, but I took her
+down.  Here I played at cards till 9 o'clock.  So home and to bed.
+
+4th.  In the morning at my lute an hour, and so to my office, where I
+staid expecting to have Mr. Squib come to me, but he did not.  At noon
+walking in the Hall I found Mr. Swan and got him and Captain Stone
+together, and there advised about Mr. Downing's business.  So to Will's,
+and sat there till three o'clock and then to Mr. Swan's, where I found his
+wife in very genteel mourning for her father, and took him out by water to
+the Counsellor at the Temple, Mr. Stephens, and from thence to Gray's Inn,
+thinking to speak with Sotherton Ellis, but found him not, so we met with
+an acquaintance of his in the walks, and went and drank, where I ate some
+bread and butter, having ate nothing all day, while they were by chance
+discoursing of Marriot, the great eater, so that I was, I remember,
+ashamed to eat what I would have done.  Here Swan shewed us a ballad to
+the tune of Mardike which was most incomparably wrote in a printed hand,
+which I borrowed of him, but the song proved but silly, and so I did not
+write it out.  Thence we went and leaving Swan at his master's, my Lord
+Widdrington, I met with Spicer, Washington, and D. Vines in Lincoln's Inn
+Court, and they were buying of a hanging jack to roast birds on of a
+fellow that was there selling of some.  I was fain to slip from there and
+went to Mrs. Crew's to her and advised about a maid to come and be with
+Mrs. Jem while her maid is sick, but she could spare none.  Thence to Sir
+Harry Wright's, but my lady not being within I spoke to Mrs. Carter about
+it, who will get one against Monday.  So with a link boy
+
+     [Links were torches of tow or pitch to light the way.  Ed.]
+
+to Scott's, where Mrs. Ann was in a heat, but I spoke not to her, but told
+Mrs. Jem what I had done, and after that went home and wrote letters into
+the country by the post, and then played awhile on my lute, and so done,
+to supper and then to bed.  All the news to-day is, that the Parliament
+this morning voted the House to be made up four hundred forthwith.  This
+day my wife killed her turkeys that Mr. Sheply gave her, that came out of
+Zealand with my Lord, and could not get her m'd Jane by no means at any
+time to kill anything.
+
+5th,(Lord's day).  In the morning before church time Mr. Hawly, who had
+for this day or two looked something sadly, which methinks did speak
+something in his breast concerning me, came to me telling me that he was
+out L24 which he could not tell what was become of, and that he do
+remember that he had such a sum in a bag the other day, and could not tell
+what he did with it, at which I was very sorry but could not help him.  In
+the morning to Mr. Gunning, where a stranger, an old man, preached a good
+honest sermon upon "What manner of love is this that we should be called
+the sons of God."  After sermon I could not find my wife, who promised to
+be at the gate against my coming out, and waited there a great while; then
+went to my house and finding her gone I returned and called at the
+Chequers, thinking to dine at the ordinary with Mr. Chetwind and Mr.
+Thomas, but they not being there I went to my father and found her there,
+and there I dined.  To their church in the afternoon, and in Mrs. Turner's
+pew my wife took up a good black hood and kept it.  A stranger preached a
+poor sermon, and so read over the whole book of the story of Tobit.  After
+sermon home with Mrs. Turner, staid with her a little while, then she went
+into the court to a christening and we to my father's, where I wrote some
+notes for my brother John to give to the Mercers' to-morrow, it being the
+day of their apposition. After supper home, and before going to bed I
+staid writing of this day its passages, while a drum came by, beating of a
+strange manner of beat, now and then a single stroke, which my wife and I
+wondered at, what the meaning of it should be.  This afternoon at church I
+saw Dick Cumberland newly come out of the country from his living, but did
+not speak to him.
+
+6th.  Before I went to my office I went to Mr. Crew's and paid Mr. Andrews
+the same L60 that he had received of Mr. Calthrop the last week. So back
+to Westminster and walked with him thither, where we found the soldiers
+all set in the Palace Yard, to make way for General Monk to come to the
+House.  At the Hall we parted, and meeting Swan, he and I to the Swan and
+drank our morning draft.  So back again to the Hall, where I stood upon
+the steps and saw Monk go by, he making observance to the judges as he
+went along.  At noon my father dined with me upon my turkey that was
+brought from Denmark, and after dinner he and I to the Bull Head Tavern,
+where we drank half a pint of wine and so parted.  I to Mrs. Ann, and Mrs.
+Jem being gone out of the chamber she and I had a very high bout, I
+rattled her up, she being in her bed, but she becoming more cool, we
+parted pretty good friends.  Thence I went to Will's, where I staid at
+cards till 10 o'clock, losing half a crown, and so home to bed.
+
+7th.  In the morning I went early to give Mr. Hawly notice of my being
+forced to go into London, but he having also business we left our office
+business to Mr. Spicer and he and I walked as far as the Temple, where I
+halted a little and then went to Paul's School, but it being too soon,
+went and drank my morning draft with my cozen Tom Pepys the turner, and
+saw his house and shop, thence to school, where he that made the speech
+for the seventh form in praise of the founder, did show a book which Mr.
+Crumlum had lately got, which is believed to be of the Founder's own
+writing.  After all the speeches, in which my brother John came off as
+well as any of the rest, I went straight home and dined, then to the Hall,
+where in the Palace I saw Monk's soldiers abuse Billing and all the
+Quakers, that were at a meeting-place there, and indeed the soldiers did
+use them very roughly and were to blame.
+
+     ["Fox, or some other 'weighty' friend, on hearing of this,
+     complained to Monk, who issued the following order, dated March 9th:
+     'I do require all officers and soldiers to forbear to disturb
+     peaceable meetings of the Quakers, they doing nothing prejudicial to
+     the Parliament or the Commonwealth of England.  George Monk.'  This
+     order, we are told, had an excellent effect on the soldiers."--A. C.
+     Bickley's 'George Fox and the Early Quakers, London, 1884, p. 179.
+     The Quakers were at this time just coming into notice.  The first
+     preaching of George Fox, the founder, was in 1648, and in 1655 the
+     preachers of the sect numbered seventy-three.  Fox computed that
+     there were seldom less than a thousand quakers in prison.  The
+     statute 13 and 14 Car. II.  cap. i. (1662) was "An act for
+     preventing the mischiefs and dangers that may arise by certain
+     persons called quakers and others, refusing to take lawful oaths."
+     Billing is mentioned again on July 22nd, 1667, when he addressed
+     Pepys in Westminster Hall.]
+
+So after drinking with Mr. Spicer, who had received L600 for me this
+morning, I went to Capt. Stone and with him by coach to the Temple Gardens
+(all the way talking of the disease of the stone), where we met Mr. Squib,
+but would do nothing till to-morrow morning.  Thence back on foot home,
+where I found a letter from my Lord in character [private cryptic code
+Ed.], which I construed, and after my wife had shewn me some ribbon and
+shoes that she had taken out of a box of Mr. Montagu's which formerly Mr.
+Kipps had left here when his master was at sea, I went to Mr. Crew and
+advised with him about it, it being concerning my Lord's coming up to
+Town, which he desires upon my advice the last week in my letter.  Thence
+calling upon Mrs. Ann I went home, and wrote in character to my Lord in
+answer to his letter.  This day Mr. Crew told me that my Lord St. John is
+for a free Parliament, and that he is very great with Monk, who hath now
+the absolute command and power to do any thing that he hath a mind to do.
+Mr. Moore told me of a picture hung up at the Exchange of a great pair of
+buttocks shooting of a turd into Lawson's mouth, and over it was wrote
+"The thanks of the house."  Boys do now cry "Kiss my Parliament, instead
+of "Kiss my [rump]," so great and general a contempt is the Rump come to
+among all the good and bad.
+
+8th.  A little practice on my flageolet, and afterwards walking in my yard
+to see my stock of pigeons, which begin now with the spring to breed very
+fast.  I was called on by Mr. Fossan, my fellow pupil at Cambridge, and I
+took him to the Swan in the Palace yard, and drank together our morning
+draft.  Thence to my office, where I received money, and afterwards Mr.
+Carter, my old friend at Cambridge, meeting me as I was going out of my
+office I took him to the Swan, and in the way I met with Captain Lidcott,
+and so we three went together and drank there, the Captain talking as high
+as ever he did, and more because of the fall of his brother Thurlow.
+
+     [John Thurloe, born 1616; Secretary of State to Cromwell; M.P. for
+     Ely, 1656, and for the University of Cambridge in Richard Cromwell's
+     Parliament of December, 1658.  He was never employed after the
+     Restoration, although the King solicited his services.  He died
+     February 21st, 1668.  Pepys spells the name Thurlow, which was a
+     common spelling at the time.]
+
+Hence I went to Captain Stone, who told me how Squib had been with him,
+and that he could do nothing with him, so I returned to Mr. Carter and
+with him to Will's, where I spent upon him and Monsieur L'Impertinent,
+alias Mr. Butler, who I took thither with me, and thence to a Rhenish wine
+house, and in our way met with Mr. Hoole, where I paid for my cozen Roger
+Pepys his wine, and after drinking we parted.  So I home, in my way
+delivering a letter which among the rest I had from my Lord to-day to Sir
+N. Wheeler.  At home my wife's brother brought her a pretty black dog
+which I liked very well, and went away again.  Hence sending a porter with
+the hamper of bottles to the Temple I called in my way upon Mrs. Jem, who
+was much frighted till I came to tell her that her mother was well.  So to
+the Temple, where I delivered the wine and received the money of my cos.
+Roger that I laid out, and thence to my father's, where he shewed me a
+base angry letter that he had newly received from my uncle Robert about my
+brother John, at which my father was very sad, but I comforted him and
+wrote an answer.  My brother John has an exhibition granted him from the
+school.  My father and I went down to his kitchen, and there we eat and
+drank, and about 9 o'clock I went away homewards, and in Fleet Street,
+received a great jostle from a man that had a mind to take the wall, which
+I could not help?
+
+     [This was a constant trouble to the pedestrian until the rule of
+     passing to the right of the person met was generally accepted.  Gay
+     commences his "Trivia" with an allusion to this--
+
+          "When to assert the wall, and when resign--"
+
+     and the epigram on the haughty courtier and the scholar is well
+     known.]
+
+I came home and to bed.  Went to bed with my head not well by my too much
+drinking to-day, and I had a boil under my chin which troubled me cruelly.
+
+9th.  Soon as out of my bed I wrote letters into the country to go by
+carrier to-day.  Before I was out of my bed, I heard the soldiers very
+busy in the morning, getting their horses ready where they lay at
+Hilton's, but I knew not then their meaning in so doing: After I had wrote
+my letters I went to Westminster up and down the Hall, and with Mr. Swan
+walked a good [deal] talking about Mr. Downing's business.  I went with
+him to Mr. Phelps's house where he had some business to solicit, where we
+met Mr. Rogers my neighbour, who did solicit against him and talked very
+high, saying that he would not for a L1000 appear in a business that Swan
+did, at which Swan was very angry, but I believe he might be guilty
+enough.  In the Hall I understand how Monk is this morning gone into
+London with his army; and met with Mr. Fage, who told me that he do
+believe that Monk is gone to secure some of the Common-council of the
+City, who were very high yesterday there, and did vote that they would not
+pay any taxes till the House was filled up.  I went to my office, where I
+wrote to my Lord after I had been at the Upper Bench,  where Sir Robert
+Pye
+
+     [Sir Robert Pye, the elder, was auditor of the Exchequer, and a
+     staunch Royalist.  He garrisoned his house at Faringdon, which was
+     besieged by his son, of the same names, a decided Republican, son-
+     in-law to Hampden, and colonel of horse under Fairfax.  The son,
+     here spoken of, was subsequently committed to the Tower for
+     presenting a petition to the House of Commons from the county of
+     Berks, which he represented in Parliament, complaining of the want
+     of a settled form of government.  He had, however, the courage to
+     move for an habeas corpus, but judge Newdigate decided that the
+     courts of law had not the power to discharge him.  Upon Monk's
+     coming to London, the secluded members passed a vote to liberate
+     Pye, and at the Restoration he was appointed equerry to the King.
+     He died in 1701.--B.]
+
+this morning came to desire his discharge from the Tower; but it could not
+be granted.  After that I went to Mrs. Jem, who I had promised to go along
+with to her Aunt Wright's, but she was gone, so I went thither, and after
+drinking a glass of sack I went back to Westminster Hall, and meeting with
+Mr. Pierce the surgeon, who would needs take me home, where Mr. Lucy,
+Burrell, and others dined, and after dinner I went home and to Westminster
+Hall, where meeting Swan I went with him by water to the Temple to our
+Counsel, and did give him a fee to make a motion to-morrow in the
+Exchequer for Mr. Downing.  Thence to Westminster Hall, where I heard an
+action very finely pleaded between my Lord Dorset and some other noble
+persons, his lady and other ladies of quality being here, and it was
+about; L330 per annum, that was to be paid to a poor Spittal, which was
+given by some of his predecessors; and given on his side.  Thence Swan and
+I to a drinking-house near Temple Bar, where while he wrote I played on my
+flageolet till a dish of poached eggs was got ready for us, which we eat,
+and so by coach home.  I called at Mr. Harper's, who told me how Monk had
+this day clapt up many of the Common-council, and that the Parliament had
+voted that he should pull down their gates and portcullisses, their posts
+and their chains, which he do intend to do, and do lie in the City all
+night.  I went home and got some ahlum to my mouth, where I have the
+beginnings of a cancer, and had also a plaster to my boil underneath my
+chin.
+
+10th.  In the morning I went to Mr. Swan, who took me to the Court of
+Wards,  where I saw the three Lords Commissioners sitting upon some cause
+where Mr. Scobell was concerned, and my Lord Fountaine took him up very
+roughly about some things that he said.  After that we went to the
+Exchequer, where the Barons were hearing of causes, and there I made
+affidavit that Mr. Downing was gone into Holland by order of the Council
+of State, and this affidavit I gave to Mr. Stevens our lawyer.  Thence to
+my office, where I got money of Mr. Hawly to pay the lawyer, and there
+found Mr. Lenard, one of the Clerks of the Council, and took him to the
+Swan and gave him his morning draft.  Then home to dinner, and after that
+to the Exchequer, where I heard all the afternoon a great many causes
+before the Barons; in the end came ours, and Squib proved clearly by his
+patent that the house and office did now belong to him.  Our lawyer made
+some kind of opposition, but to no purpose, and so the cause was found
+against us, and the foreman of the jury brought in L10 damages, which the
+whole Court cried shame of, and so he cried 12d.  Thence I went home,
+vexed about this business, and there I found Mr. Moore, and with him went
+into London to Mr. Fage about the cancer in my mouth, which begins to grow
+dangerous, who gave me something for it, and also told me what Monk had
+done in the City, how he had pulled down the most part of the gates and
+chains that they could break down, and that he was now gone back to White
+Hall.  The City look mighty blank, and cannot tell what in the world to
+do; the Parliament having this day ordered that the Common-council sit no
+more; but that new ones be chosen according to what qualifications they
+shall give them.  Thence I went and drank with Mr. Moore at the Sugar Loaf
+by Temple Bar, where Swan and I were last night, and so we parted.  At
+home I found Mr. Hunt, who sat talking with me awhile, and so to bed.
+
+11th.  This morning I lay long abed, and then to my office, where I read
+all the morning my Spanish book of Rome.  At noon I walked in the Hall,
+where I heard the news of a letter from Monk, who was now gone into the
+City again, and did resolve to stand for the sudden filling up of the
+House, and it was very strange how the countenance of men in the Hall was
+all changed with joy in half an hour's time.  So I went up to the lobby,
+where I saw the Speaker reading of the letter; and after it was read, Sir
+A. Haselrigge came out very angry, and Billing--[The quaker mentioned
+before on the 7th of this month.]--standing at the door, took him by the
+arm, and cried, "Thou man, will thy beast carry thee no longer?  thou must
+fall!"  The House presently after rose, and appointed to meet again at
+three o'clock.  I went then down into the Hall, where I met with Mr.
+Chetwind, who had not dined no more than myself, and so we went toward
+London, in our way calling at two or three shops, but could have no
+dinner.  At last, within Temple Bar, we found a pullet ready roasted, and
+there we dined.  After that he went to his office in Chancery Lane,
+calling at the Rolls, where I saw the lawyers pleading.  Then to his
+office, where I sat in his study singing, while he was with his man (Mr.
+Powell's son) looking after his business.  Thence we took coach for the
+City to Guildhall, where the Hall was full of people expecting Monk and
+Lord Mayor to come thither, and all very joyfull.  Here we stayed a great
+while, and at last meeting with a friend of his we went to the 3 Tun
+tavern and drank half a pint of wine, and not liking the wine we went to
+an alehouse, where we met with company of this third man's acquaintance,
+and there we drank a little.  Hence I went alone to Guildhall to see
+whether Monk was come again or no, and met with him coming out of the
+chamber where he had been with the Mayor and Aldermen, but such a shout I
+never heard in all my life, crying out, "God bless your Excellence." Here
+I met with Mr. Lock, and took him to an alehouse, and left him there to
+fetch Chetwind; when we were come together, Lock told us the substance of
+the letter that went from Monk to the Parliament; wherein, after
+complaints that he and his officers were put upon such offices against the
+City as they could not do with any content or honour, that there are many
+members now in the House that were of the late tyrannical Committee of
+Safety.  That Lambert and Vane are now in town, contrary to the vote of
+Parliament.  That there were many in the House that do press for new oaths
+to be put upon men; whereas we have more cause to be sorry for the many
+oaths that we have already taken and broken.  That the late petition of
+the fanatique people presented by Barebone, for the imposing of an oath
+upon all sorts of people, was received by the House with thanks. That
+therefore he [Monk] do desire that all writs for filling up of the House
+be issued by Friday next, and that in the mean time, he would retire into
+the City and only leave them guards for the security of the House and
+Council.  The occasion of this was the order that he had last night to go
+into the City and disarm them, and take away their charter; whereby he and
+his officers say that the House had a mind to put them upon things that
+should make them odious; and so it would be in their power to do what they
+would with them.  He told us that they [the Parliament] had sent Scott and
+Robinson to him [Monk] this afternoon, but he would not hear them.  And
+that the Mayor and Aldermen had offered him their own houses for himself
+and his officers; and that his soldiers would lack for nothing.  And
+indeed I saw many people give the soldiers drink and money, and all along
+in the streets cried, "God bless them!" and extraordinary good words.
+Hence we went to a merchant's house hard by, where Lock wrote a note and
+left, where I saw Sir Nich. Crisp, and so we went to the Star Tavern (Monk
+being then at Benson's), where we dined and I wrote a letter to my Lord
+from thence.  In Cheapside there was a great many bonfires, and Bow bells
+and all the bells in all the churches as we went home were a-ringing.
+Hence we went homewards, it being about ten o'clock.  But the common joy
+that was every where to be seen!  The number of bonfires, there being
+fourteen between St. Dunstan's and Temple Bar, and at Strand Bridge' I
+could at one view tell thirty-one fires.  In King-street seven or eight;
+and all along burning, and roasting, and drinking for rumps.  There being
+rumps tied upon sticks and carried up and down.  The butchers at the May
+Pole in the Strand rang a peal with their knives when they were going to
+sacrifice their rump.  On Ludgate Hill there was one turning of the spit
+that had a rump tied upon it, and another basting of it.  Indeed it was
+past imagination, both the greatness and the suddenness of it.  At one end
+of the street you would think there was a whole lane of fire, and so hot
+that we were fain to keep still on the further side merely for heat.  We
+came to the Chequers at Charing Cross, where Chetwind wrote a letter and I
+gave him an account of what I had wrote for him to write.  Thence home and
+sent my letters to the posthouse in London, and my wife and I (after Mr.
+Hunt was gone, whom I found waiting at my house) went out again to show
+her the fires, and after walking as far as the Exchange we returned and to
+bed.
+
+12th.  In the morning, it being Lord's day, Mr. Pierce came to me to
+enquire how things go.  We drank our morning draft together and thence to
+White Hall, where Dr. Hones preached; but I staid not to hear, but walking
+in the court, I heard that Sir Arth. Haselrigge was newly gone into the
+City to Monk, and that Monk's wife removed from White Hall last night.
+Home again, where at noon came according to my invitation my cos. Thos.
+Pepys and his partner and dined with me, but before dinner we went and
+took a walk round the park, it being a most pleasant day as ever I saw.
+After dinner we three went into London together, where I heard that Monk
+had been at Paul's in the morning, and the people had shouted much at his
+coming out of the church.  In the afternoon he was at a church in
+Broad-street, whereabout he do lodge.  But not knowing how to see him we
+went and walked half a hour in Moorfields, which were full of people, it
+being so fine a day.  Here I took leave of them, and so to Paul's, where I
+met with Mr. Kirton's' apprentice (the crooked fellow) and walked up and
+down with him two hours, sometimes in the street looking for a tavern to
+drink in, but not finding any open, we durst not knock; other times in the
+churchyard, where one told me that he had seen the letter printed. Thence
+to Mr. Turner's, where I found my wife, Mr. Edw. Pepys, and Roger' and Mr.
+Armiger being there, to whom I gave as good an account of things as I
+could, and so to my father's, where Charles Glascocke was overjoyed to see
+how things are now; who told me the boys had last night broke Barebone's
+windows.  Hence home, and being near home we missed our maid, and were at
+a great loss and went back a great way to find her, but when we could not
+see her we went homewards and found her there, got before us which we
+wondered at greatly.  So to bed, where my wife and I had some high words
+upon my telling her that I would fling the dog which her brother gave her
+out of window if he [dirtied] the house any more.
+
+13th.  To my office till noon, thence home to dinner, my mouth being very
+bad of the cancer and my left leg beginning to be sore again.  After
+dinner to see Mrs. Jem, and in the way met with Catan on foot in the
+street and talked with her a little, so home and took my wife to my
+father's.  In my way I went to Playford's, and for two books that I had
+and 6s. 6d. to boot I had my great book of songs which he sells always for
+r 4s.  At my father's I staid a while, while my mother sent her maid Bess
+to Cheapside for some herbs to make a water for my mouth.  Then I went to
+see Mr. Cumberland, and after a little stay with him I returned, and took
+my wife home, where after supper to bed.  This day Monk was invited to
+White Hall to dinner by my Lords; not seeming willing, he would not come.
+I went to Mr. Fage from my father's, who had been this afternoon with
+Monk, who do promise to live and die with the City, and for the honour of
+the City; and indeed the City is very open-handed to the soldiers, that
+they are most of them drunk all day, and have money given them.  He did
+give me something for my mouth which I did use this night.
+
+14th.  Called out in the morning by Mr. Moore, whose voice my wife hearing
+in my dressing-chamber with me, got herself ready, and came down and
+challenged him for her valentine, this being the day.
+
+     [The practice of choosing valentines was very general at this time,
+     but some of the best examples of the custom are found in this
+     Diary.]
+
+To Westminster Hall, there being many new remonstrances and declarations
+from many counties to Monk and the City, and one coming from the North
+from Sir Thomas Fairfax. Hence I took him to the Swan and gave him his
+morning draft.  So to my office, where Mr. Hill of Worcestershire came to
+see me and my partner in our office, with whom we went to Will's to drink.
+At noon I went home and so to Mr. Crew's, but they had dined, and so I
+went to see Mrs. Jem where I stayed a while, and home again where I stayed
+an hour or two at my lute, and so forth to Westminster Hall, where I heard
+that the Parliament hath now changed the oath so much talked of to a
+promise; and that among other qualifications for the members that are to
+be chosen, one is, that no man, nor the son of any man that hath been in
+arms during the life of the father, shall be capable of being chosen to
+sit in Parliament.  To Will's, where like a fool I staid and lost 6d. at
+cards.  So home, and wrote a letter to my Lord by the post. So after
+supper to bed.  This day, by an order of the House, Sir H. Vane was sent
+out of town to his house in Lincolnshire.
+
+15th.  Called up in the morning by Captain Holland and Captain Cuttance,
+and with them to Harper's, thence to my office, thence with Mr. Hill of
+Worcestershire to Will's, where I gave him a letter to Nan Pepys, and some
+merry pamphlets against the Rump to carry to her into the country. So to
+Mr. Crew's, where the dining room being full, Mr. Walgrave and I dined
+below in the buttery by ourselves upon a good dish of buttered salmon.
+Thence to Hering' the merchant about my Lord's Worcester money and back to
+Paul's Churchyard, where I staid reading in Fuller's History of the Church
+of England an hour or two, and so to my father's, where Mr. Hill came to
+me and I gave him direction what to do at Worcester about the money.
+Thence to my Lady Wright's and gave her a letter from my Lord privily.  So
+to Mrs. Jem and sat with her, who dined at Mr. Crew's to-day, and told me
+that there was at her coming away at least forty gentlemen (I suppose
+members that were secluded, for Mr. Walgrave told me that there were about
+thirty met there the last night) came dropping in one after another
+thither.  Thence home and wrote into the country against to-morrow by the
+carrier and so to bed.  At my father's I heard how my cousin Kate Joyce
+had a fall yesterday from her horse and had some hurt thereby.  No news
+to-day, but all quiet to see what the Parliament will do about the issuing
+of the writs to-morrow for filling up of the House, according to Monk's
+desire.
+
+16th, In the morning at my lute.  Then came Shaw and Hawly, and I gave
+them their morning draft at my house.  So to my office, where I wrote by
+the carrier to my Lord and sealed my letter at Will's, and gave it old
+East to carry it to the carrier's, and to take up a box of china oranges
+and two little barrels of scallops at my house, which Captain Cuttance
+sent to me for my Lord.  Here I met with Osborne and with Shaw and Spicer,
+and we went to the Sun Tavern in expectation of a dinner, where we had
+sent us only two trenchers-full of meat, at which we were very merry,
+while in came Mr. Wade and his friend Capt. Moyse (who told us of his
+hopes to get an estate merely for his name's sake), and here we staid till
+seven at night, I winning a quart of sack of Shaw that one trencherfull
+that was sent us was all lamb and he that it was veal.  I by having but
+3d. in my pocket made shift to spend no more, whereas if I had had more I
+had spent more as the rest did, so that I see it is an advantage to a man
+to carry little in his pocket.  Home, and after supper, and a little at my
+flute, I went to bed.
+
+17th.  In the morning Tom that was my Lord's footboy came to see me and
+had 10s. of me of the money which I have to keep of his.  So that now I
+have but 35s. more of his.  Then came Mr. Hills the instrument maker, and
+I consulted with him about the altering my lute and my viall.  After that
+I went into my study and did up my accounts, and found that I am about;
+L40 beforehand in the world, and that is all.  So to my office and from
+thence brought Mr. Hawly home with me to dinner, and after dinner wrote a
+letter to Mr. Downing about his business and gave it Hawly, and so went to
+Mr. Gunning's to his weekly fast, and after sermon, meeting there with
+Monsieur L'Impertinent, we went and walked in the park till it was dark. I
+played on my pipe at the Echo, and then drank a cup of ale at Jacob's. So
+to Westminster Hall, and he with me, where I heard that some of the
+members of the House were gone to meet with some of the secluded members
+and General Monk in the City.  Hence we went to White Hall, thinking to
+hear more news, where I met with Mr. Hunt, who told me how Monk had sent
+for all his goods that he had here into the City; and yet again he told
+me, that some of the members of the House had this day laid in firing into
+their lodgings at White Hall for a good while, so that we are at a great
+stand to think what will become of things, whether Monk will stand to the
+Parliament or no.  Hence Mons. L'Impertinent and I to Harper's, and there
+drank a cup or two to the King, and to his fair sister Frances--[Frances
+Butler, the great beauty, who is sometimes styled.  la belle
+Boteler.]--good health, of whom we had much discourse of her not being
+much the worse for the small pox, which she had this last summer.  So home
+and to bed.  This day we are invited to my uncle Fenner's wedding feast,
+but went not, this being the 27th year.
+
+18th.  A great while at my vial and voice, learning to sing "Fly boy, fly
+boy," without book.  So to my office, where little to do.  In the Hall I
+met with Mr. Eglin and one Looker, a famous gardener, servant to my Lord
+Salsbury, and among other things the gardener told a strange passage in
+good earnest .  .  .  .  Home to dinner, and then went to my Lord's
+lodgings to my turret there and took away most of my books, and sent them
+home by my maid.  Thither came Capt.  Holland to me who took me to the
+Half Moon tavern and Mr. Southorne, Blackburne's clerk.  Thence he took me
+to the Mitre in Fleet Street, where we heard (in a room over the music
+room) very plainly through the ceiling.  Here we parted and I to Mr.
+Wotton's, and with him to an alehouse and drank while he told me a great
+many stories of comedies that he had formerly seen acted, and the names of
+the principal actors, and gave me a very good account of it.  Thence to
+Whitehall, where I met with Luellin and in the clerk's chamber wrote a
+letter to my Lord.  So home and to bed.  This day two soldiers were hanged
+in the Strand for their late mutiny at Somerset-house.
+
+19th (Lord's day).  Early in the morning I set my books that I brought
+home yesterday up in order in my study.  Thence forth to Mr. Harper's to
+drink a draft of purle,--[Purl is hot beer flavoured with wormwood or
+other aromatic herbs.  The name is also given to hot beer flavoured with
+gin, sugar, and ginger.]--whither by appointment Monsieur L'Impertinent,
+who did intend too upon my desire to go along with me to St.
+Bartholomew's, to hear one Mr. Sparks, but it raining very hard we went to
+Mr. Gunning's and heard an excellent sermon, and speaking of the character
+that the Scripture gives of Ann the mother of the blessed Virgin, he did
+there speak largely in commendation of widowhood, and not as we do to
+marry two or three wives or husbands, one after another. Here I met with
+Mr. Moore, and went home with him to dinner, where he told me the
+discourse that happened between the secluded members and the members of
+the House, before Monk last Friday.  How the secluded said, that they did
+not intend by coming in to express revenge upon these men, but only to
+meet and dissolve themselves, and only to issue writs for a free
+Parliament.  He told me how Haselrigge was afraid to have the candle
+carried before him, for fear that the people seeing him, would do him
+hurt; and that he is afraid to appear in the City.  That there is great
+likelihood that the secluded members will come in, and so Mr. Crew and my
+Lord are likely to be great men, at which I was very glad.  After diner
+there was many secluded members come in to Mr. Crew, which, it being the
+Lord's day, did make Mr. Moore believe that there was something
+extraordinary in the business.  Hence home and brought my wife to Mr.
+Mossum's to hear him, and indeed he made a very good sermon, but only too
+eloquent for a pulpit.  Here Mr. L'Impertinent helped me to a seat. After
+sermon to my father's; and fell in discourse concerning our going to
+Cambridge the next week with my brother John.  To Mrs. Turner where her
+brother, Mr. Edward Pepys, was there, and I sat a great while talking of
+public business of the times with him.  So to supper to my Father's, all
+supper talking of John's going to Cambridge.  So home, and it raining my
+wife got my mother's French mantle and my brother John's hat, and so we
+went all along home and to bed.
+
+20th.  In the morning at my lute.  Then to my office, where my partner and
+I made even our balance.  Took him home to dinner with me, where my
+brother John came to dine with me.  After dinner I took him to my study at
+home and at my Lord's, and gave him some books and other things against
+his going to Cambridge.  After he was gone I went forth to Westminster
+Hall, where I met with Chetwind, Simons, and Gregory.  And with them to
+Marsh's at Whitehall to drink, and staid there a pretty while reading a
+pamphlet well writ and directed to General Monk, in praise of the form of
+monarchy which was settled here before the wars.
+
+     [This pamphlet is among the Thomason Collection of Civil War Tracts
+     (British Museum), and dated in MS.  this same day, February 20th--
+     "A Plea for Limited Monarchy as it was established in this Nation
+     before the late War.  In an Humble Address to his Excellency General
+     Monck.  By a Zealot for the good old Laws of his Country, before any
+     Faction or Caprice, with additions."  "An Eccho to the Plea for
+     Limited Monarchy, &c.," was published soon afterwards.]
+
+They told me how the Speaker Lenthall do refuse to sign the writs for
+choice of new members in the place of the excluded; and by that means the
+writs could not go out to-day.  In the evening Simons and I to the Coffee
+Club, where nothing to do only I heard Mr. Harrington, and my Lord of
+Dorset and another Lord, talking of getting another place as the Cockpit,
+and they did believe it would come to something.  After a small debate
+upon the question whether learned or unlearned subjects are the best the
+Club broke up very poorly, and I do not think they will meet any more.
+Hence with Vines, &c.  to Will's, and after a pot or two home, and so to
+bed.
+
+21st. In the morning going out I saw many soldiers going towards
+Westminster, and was told that they were going to admit the secluded
+members again.  So I to Westminster Hall, and in Chancery Row I saw about
+twenty of them who had been at White Hall with General Monk, who came
+thither this morning, and made a speech to them, and recommended to them a
+Commonwealth, and against Charles Stuart.  They came to the House and went
+in one after another, and at last the Speaker came.  But it is very
+strange that this could be carried so private, that the other members of
+the House heard nothing of all this, till they found them in the House,
+insomuch that the soldiers that stood there to let in the secluded
+members, they took for such as they had ordered to stand there to hinder
+their coming in.  Mr. Prin came with an old basket-hilt sword on, and had
+a great many great shouts upon his going into the Hall.  They sat till
+noon, and at their coming out Mr. Crew saw me, and bid me come to his
+house, which I did, and he would have me dine with him, which I did; and
+he very joyful told me that the House had made General Monk, General of
+all the Forces in England, Scotland, and Ireland; and that upon Monk's
+desire, for the service that Lawson had lately done in pulling down the
+Committee of Safety, he had the command of the Sea for the time being. He
+advised me to send for my Lord forthwith, and told me that there is no
+question that, if he will, he may now be employed again; and that the
+House do intend to do nothing more than to issue writs, and to settle a
+foundation for a free Parliament.  After dinner I back to Westminster Hall
+with him in his coach.  Here I met with Mr. Lock and Pursell, Masters of
+Music,--[Henry Purcell, father of the celebrated composer, was gentleman
+of the Chapel Royal.]--and with them to the Coffee House, into a room next
+the water, by ourselves, where we spent an hour or two till Captain Taylor
+came to us, who told us, that the House had voted the gates of the City to
+be made up again, and the members of the City that are in prison to be set
+at liberty; and that Sir G. Booth's' case be brought into the House
+to-morrow.  Here we had variety of brave Italian and Spanish songs, and a
+canon for eight voices, which Mr. Lock had lately made on these words:
+"Domine salvum fac Regem," an admirable thing.  Here also Capt. Taylor
+began a discourse of something that he had lately writ about Gavelkind in
+answer to one that had wrote a piece upon the same subject; and indeed
+discovered a great deal of study in antiquity in his discourse.  Here out
+of the window it was a most pleasant sight to see the City from one end to
+the other with a glory about it, so high was the light of the bonfires,
+and so thick round the City, and the bells rang everywhere.  Hence home
+and wrote to my Lord, afterwards came down and found Mr. Hunt (troubled at
+this change) and Mr. Spong, who staid late with me singing of a song or
+two, and so parted. My wife not very well, went to bed before.  This
+morning I met in the Hall with Mr. Fuller, of Christ's, and told him of my
+design to go to Cambridge, and whither.  He told me very freely the temper
+of Mr. Widdrington, how he did oppose all the fellows in the College, and
+that there was a great distance between him and the rest, at which I was
+very sorry, for that he told me he feared it would be little to my
+brother's advantage to be his pupil.
+
+22nd.  In the morning intended to have gone to Mr. Crew's to borrow some
+money, but it raining I forbore, and went to my Lord's lodging and look
+that all things were well there.  Then home and sang a song to my viall,
+so to my office and to Will's, where Mr. Pierce found me out, and told me
+that he would go with me to Cambridge, where Colonel Ayre's regiment, to
+which he was surgeon, lieth.  Walking in the Hall, I saw Major-General
+Brown, who had along time been banished by the Rump, but now with his
+beard overgrown, he comes abroad and sat in the House.  To my father's to
+dinner, where nothing but a small dish of powdered beef--[Boiled salt
+beef.  To powder was to sprinkle with salt, and the powdering tub a vessel
+in which meat was salted.]--and dish of carrots; they being all busy to
+get things ready for my brother John to go to-morrow.  After dinner, my
+wife staying there, I went to Mr. Crew's, and got; L5 of Mr. Andrews, and
+so to Mrs. Jemimah, who now hath her instrument about her neck, and indeed
+is infinitely, altered, and holds her head upright. I paid her, maid 40s.
+of the money that I have received of Mr. Andrews. Hence home to my study,
+where I only wrote thus much of this day's passages to this * and so out
+again.  To White Hall, where I met with Will.  Simons and Mr. Mabbot at
+Marsh's, who told me how the House had this day voted that the gates of
+the City should be set up at the cost of the State.  And that
+Major-General Brown's being proclaimed a traitor be made void, and several
+other things of that nature.  Home for my lanthorn and so to my father's,
+where I directed John what books to put for Cambridge.  After that to
+supper, where my Uncle Fenner and my Aunt, The. Turner, and Joyce, at a
+brave leg of veal roasted, and were very merry against John's going to
+Cambridge.  I observed this day how abominably Barebone's windows are
+broke again last night.  At past 9 o'clock my wife and I went home.
+
+23rd.  Thursday, my birthday, now twenty-seven years.  A pretty fair
+morning, I rose and after writing a while in my study I went forth.  To my
+office, where I told Mr. Hawly of my thoughts to go out of town to-morrow.
+Hither Mr. Fuller comes to me and my Uncle Thomas too, thence I took them
+to drink, and so put off my uncle.  So with Mr. Fuller home to my house,
+where he dined with me, and he told my wife and me a great many stories of
+his adversities, since these troubles, in being forced to travel in the
+Catholic countries, &c.  He shewed me his bills, but I had not money to
+pay him.  We parted, and I to Whitehall, where I was to see my horse which
+Mr. Garthwayt lends me to-morrow.  So home, where Mr. Pierce comes to me
+about appointing time and place where and when to meet tomorrow.  So to
+Westminster Hall, where, after the House rose, I met with Mr. Crew, who
+told me that my Lord was chosen by 73 voices, to be one of the Council of
+State.  Mr. Pierpoint had the most, 101, and himself the next, too.  He
+brought me in the coach home.  He and Mr. Anslow being in it.  I back to
+the Hall, and at Mrs. Michell's shop staid talking a great while with her
+and my Chaplain, Mr. Mumford, and drank a pot or two of ale on a wager
+that Mr. Prin is not of the Council.  Home and wrote to my Lord the news
+of the choice of the Council by the post, and so to bed.
+
+24th.  I rose very early, and taking horse at Scotland Yard, at Mr.
+Garthwayt's stable, I rode to Mr. Pierces, who rose, and in a quarter of
+an hour, leaving his wife in bed (with whom Mr. Lucy methought was very
+free as she lay in bed), we both mounted, and so set forth about seven of
+the clock, the day and the way very foul.  About Ware we overtook Mr.
+Blayton, brother-in-law to Dick Vines, who went thenceforwards with us,
+and at Puckeridge we baited, where we had a loin of mutton fried, and were
+very merry, but the way exceeding bad from Ware thither.  Then up again
+and as far as Foulmer, within six miles of Cambridge, my mare being almost
+tired: here we lay at the Chequer, playing at cards till supper, which was
+a breast of veal roasted.  I lay with Mr. Pierce, who we left here the
+next morning upon his going to Hinchingbroke to speak with my Lord before
+his going to London, and we two come to Cambridge by eight o'clock in the
+morning.
+
+25th.  To the Falcon, in the Petty Cury,

+     [The old Falcon Inn is on the south side of Petty Cury.  It is now
+     divided into three houses, one of which is the present Falcon Inn,
+     the other two being houses with shops.  The Falcon yard is but
+     little changed.  From the size of the whole building it must have
+     been the principal inn of the town.  The room said to have been used

+     The Petty Cury.  The derivation of the name of this street, so well
+     known to all Cambridge men, is a matter of much dispute among
+     antiquaries.  (See "Notes and Queries.") The most probable meaning
+     of it is the Parva Cokeria, or little cury, where the cooks of the
+     town lived, just as "The Poultry," where the Poulters (now
+     Poulterers) had their shops.  "The Forme of Cury," a Roll of Antient
+     English Cookery, was compiled by the principal cooks of that "best
+     and royalest viander of all Christian Kings," Richard the Second,
+     and edited with a copious Index and Glossary by Dr. Samuel Pegge,
+     1780.--M. B.]
+
+where we found my father and brother very well.  After dressing myself,
+about ten o'clock, my father, brother, and I to Mr. Widdririgton, at
+Christ's College, who received us very civilly, and caused my brother to
+be admitted, while my father, he, and I, sat talking.  After that done, we
+take leave.  My father and brother went to visit some friends, Pepys's,
+scholars in Cambridge, while I went to Magdalene College, to Mr. Hill,
+with whom I found Mr. Zanchy, Burton, and Hollins, and was exceeding
+civilly received by them.  I took leave on promise to sup with them, and
+to my Inn again, where I dined with some others that were there at an
+ordinary.  After dinner my brother to the College, and my father and I to
+my Cozen Angier's, to see them, where Mr. Fairbrother came to us.  Here we
+sat a while talking.  My father he went to look after his things at the
+carrier's, and my brother's chamber, while Mr. Fairbrother, my Cozen
+Angier, and Mr. Zanchy, whom I met at Mr. Merton's shop (where I bought
+'Elenchus Motuum', having given my former to Mr. Downing when he was
+here), to the Three Tuns, where we drank pretty hard and many healths to
+the King, &c., till it began to be darkish: then we broke up and I and Mr.
+Zanchy went to Magdalene College, where a very handsome supper at Mr.
+Hill's chambers, I suppose upon a club among them, where in their
+discourse I could find that there was nothing at all left of the old
+preciseness in their discourse, specially on Saturday nights.  And Mr.
+Zanchy told me that there was no such thing now-a-days among them at any
+time.  After supper and some discourse then to my Inn, where I found my
+father in his chamber, and after some discourse, and he well satisfied
+with this day's work, we went to bed, my brother lying with me, his things
+not being come by the carrier that he could not lie in the College.
+
+26th (Sunday).  My brother went to the College to Chapel.  My father and I
+went out in the morning, and walked out in the fields behind King's
+College, and in King's College Chapel Yard, where we met with Mr.
+Fairbrother, who took us to Botolph's Church, where we heard Mr. Nicholas,
+of Queen's College, who I knew in my time to be Tripos,
+
+     [The Tripos or Bachelor of the Stool, who made the speech on Ash
+     Wednesday, when the senior Proctor called him up and exhorted him to
+     be witty but modest withal.  Their speeches, especially after the
+     Restoration, tended to be boisterous, and even scurrilous.
+     "26 Martii 1669.  Da Hollis, fellow of Clare Hall is to make a
+     publick Recantation in the Bac. Schools for his Tripos speeche."
+     The Tripos verses still come out, and are circulated on Ash
+     Wednesday.  The list of successful candidates for honours is printed
+     on the same paper, hence the term "Tripos" applied to it.]
+
+with great applause, upon this text, "For thy commandments are broad."
+Thence my father and I to Mr. Widdrington's chamber to dinner, where he
+used us very courteously again, and had two Fellow Commoners at table with
+him, and Mr. Pepper, a Fellow of the College.  After dinner, while we sat
+talking by the fire, Mr. Pierces man came to tell me that his master was
+come to town, so my father and I took leave, and found Mr. Pierce at our
+Inn, who told us that he had lost his journey, for my Lord was gone from
+Hinchingbroke to London on Thursday last, at which I was a little put to a
+stand.  So after a cup of drink I went to Magdalene College to get the
+certificate of the College for my brother's entrance there, that he might
+save his year.  I met with Mr. Burton in the Court, who took me to Mr.
+Pechell's chamber, where he was and Mr. Zanchy.  By and by, Mr. Pechell
+and Sanchy and I went out, Pechell to Church, Sanchy and I to the Rose
+Tavern, where we sat and drank till sermon done, and then Mr. Pechell came
+to us, and we three sat drinking the King's and his whole family's health
+till it began to be dark.  Then we parted; Sanchy and I went to my
+lodging, where we found my father and Mr. Pierce at the door, and I took
+them both and Mr. Blayton to the Rose Tavern, and there gave them a quart
+or two of wine, not telling them that we had been there before.  After
+this we broke up, and my father, Mr. Zanchy, and I to my Cosen Angier to
+supper, where I caused two bottles of wine to be carried from the Rose
+Tavern; that was drunk up, and I had not the wit to let them know at table
+that it was I that paid for them, and so I lost my thanks for them.  After
+supper Mr. Fairbrother, who supped there with us, took me into a room by
+himself, and shewed me a pitiful copy of verses upon Mr. Prinn which he
+esteemed very good, and desired that I would get them given to Mr. Prinn,
+in hopes that he would get him some place for it, which I said I would do,
+but did laugh in my sleeve to think of his folly, though indeed a man that
+has always expressed great civility to me.  After that we sat down and
+talked; I took leave of all my friends, and so to my Inn, where after I
+had wrote a note and enclosed the certificate to Mr. Widdrington, I bade
+good night to my father, and John went to bed, but I staid up a little
+while, playing the fool with the lass of the house at the door of the
+chamber, and so to bed.
+
+27th.  Up by four o'clock, and after I was ready, took my leave of my
+father, whom I left in bed, and the same of my brother John, to whom I
+gave 10s.  Mr. Blayton and I took horse and straight to Saffron Walden,
+where at the White Hart, we set up our horses, and took the master of the
+house to shew us Audley End House, who took us on foot through the park,
+and so to the house, where the housekeeper shewed us all the house, in
+which the stateliness of the ceilings, chimney-pieces, and form of the
+whole was exceedingly worth seeing.  He took us into the cellar, where we
+drank most admirable drink, a health to the King.  Here I played on my
+flageolette, there being an excellent echo.  He shewed us excellent
+pictures; two especially, those of the four Evangelists and Henry VIII.
+After that I gave the man 2s. for his trouble, and went back again.  In
+our going, my landlord carried us through a very old hospital or
+almshouse, where forty poor people was maintained; a very old foundation;
+and over the chimney in the mantelpiece was an inscription in brass:
+"Orate pre anima Thomae Bird," &c.; and the poor box also was on the same
+chimney-piece, with an iron door and locks to it, into which I put 6d.
+They brought me a draft of their drink in a brown bowl, tipt with silver,
+which I drank off, and at the bottom was a picture of the Virgin and the
+child in her arms, done in silver.  So we went to our Inn, and after
+eating of something, and kissed the daughter of the house, she being very
+pretty, we took leave, and so that night, the road pretty good, but the
+weather rainy to Ep[p]ing, where we sat and played a game at cards, and
+after supper, and some merry talk with a plain bold maid of the house, we
+went to bed.
+
+28th.  Up in the morning, and had some red herrings to our breakfast,
+while my boot-heel was a-mending, by the same token the boy left the hole
+as big as it was before.  Then to horse, and for London through the
+forest, where we found the way good, but only in one path, which we kept
+as if we had rode through a canal all the way.  We found the shops all
+shut, and the militia of the red regiment in arms at the Old Exchange,
+among whom I found and spoke to Nich. Osborne, who told me that it was a
+thanksgiving-day through the City for the return of the Parliament.  At
+Paul's I light, Mr. Blayton holding my horse, where I found Dr. Reynolds'
+in the pulpit, and General Monk there, who was to have a great
+entertainment at Grocers' Hall.  So home, where my wife and all well.
+Shifted myself,--[Changed his dress.]--and so to Mr. Crew's, and then to
+Sir Harry Wright's, where I found my Lord at dinner, who called for me in,
+and was glad to see me.  There was at dinner also Mr. John Wright and his
+lady, a very pretty lady, Alderman Allen's daughter.  I dined here with
+Will. Howe, and after dinner went out with him to buy a hat (calling in my
+way and saw my mother), which we did at the Plough in Fleet Street by my
+Lord's direction, but not as for him.  Here we met with Mr. Pierce a
+little before, and he took us to the Greyhound Tavern, and gave us a pint
+of wine, and as the rest of the seamen do, talked very high again of my
+Lord.  After we had done about the hat we went homewards, he to Mr. Crew's
+and I to Mrs. Jem, and sat with her a little.  Then home, where I found
+Mr. Sheply, almost drunk, come to see me, afterwards Mr. Spong comes, with
+whom I went up and played with him a Duo or two, and so good night.  I was
+indeed a little vexed with Mr. Sheply, but said nothing, about his
+breaking open of my study at my house, merely to give him the key of the
+stair door at my Lord's, which lock he might better have broke than mine.
+
+29th.  To my office, and drank at Will's with Mr. Moore, who told me how
+my Lord is chosen General at Sea by the Council, and that it is thought
+that Monk will be joined with him therein.  Home and dined, after dinner
+my wife and I by water to London, and thence to Herring's, the merchant in
+Coleman Street, about L50 which he promises I shall have on Saturday next.
+So to my mother's, and then to Mrs. Turner's, of whom I took leave, and
+her company, because she was to go out of town to-morrow with Mr. Pepys
+into Norfolk.  Here my cosen Norton gave me a brave cup of metheglin,
+
+     [A liquor made of honey and water, boiled and fermenting.  By 12
+     Charles II.  cap. 23, a grant of certain impositions upon beer, ale,
+     and other liquors, a duty of 1d.  per gallon was laid upon "all
+     metheglin or mead."]
+
+the first I ever drank.  To my mother's and supped there.
+
+She shewed me a letter to my father from my uncle inviting him to come to
+Brampton while he is in the country.  So home and to bed.  This day my
+Lord came to the House, the first time since he came to town; but he had
+been at the Council before.

+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.

+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions,
+all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
+copyright notice is included. Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any
+of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to send us error messages even years after
+the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can surf to them as follows, and just download by date; this is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour this year as we release fifty new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 3000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts unless we
+manage to get some real funding.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+

+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
+sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
+you got it from. If you received this etext on a physical
+medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
+
+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims
+all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from. If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,
+and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated
+with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
+texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including

+     requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+     etext or this "small print!" statement.  You may however,
+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+     including any form resulting from conversion by word
+     processing or hypertext software, but only so long as

+
+     [*]  The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
+          does *not* contain characters other than those
+          intended by the author of the work, although tilde
+          (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
+          be used to convey punctuation intended by the

+
+     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at

+     gross profits you derive calculated using the method you
+     already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  If you
+     don't derive profits, no royalty is due.  Royalties are
+     payable to "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation"
+     the 60 days following each date you prepare (or were
+     legally required to prepare) your annual (or equivalent
+     periodic) tax return.  Please contact us beforehand to
+     let us know your plans and to work out the details.

+
+
+February 1st.  In the morning went to my office where afterwards the old
+man brought me my letters from the carrier.  At noon I went home and
+dined with my wife on pease porridge and nothing else.  After that I went
+to the Hall and there met with Mr. Swan and went with him to Mr.
+Downing's Counsellor, who did put me in very little hopes about the
+business between Mr. Downing and Squib, and told me that Squib would
+carry it against him, at which I was much troubled, and with him went to
+Lincoln's Inn and there spoke with his attorney, who told me the day that
+was appointed for the trial.  From thence I went to Sir Harry Wright's
+and got him to give me his hand for the L60 which I am to-morrow to
+receive from Mr. Calthrop and from thence to Mrs. Jem and spoke with
+Madam Scott and her husband who did promise to have the thing for her
+neck done this week.  Thence home and took Gammer East, and James the
+porter, a soldier, to my Lord's lodgings, who told me how they were drawn
+into the field to-day, and that they were ordered to march away to-morrow
+to make room for General Monk; but they did shut their Colonel Fitch,
+and the rest of the officers out of the field, and swore they would not
+go without their money, and if they would not give it them, they would go
+where they might have it, and that was the City.  So the Colonel went to
+the Parliament, and commanded what money could be got, to be got against
+to-morrow for them, and all the rest of the soldiers in town, who in all
+places made a mutiny this day, and do agree together.  Here I took some
+bedding to send to Mrs. Ann for her to lie in now she hath her fits of
+the ague.  Thence I went to Will's and staid like a fool there and played
+at cards till 9 o'clock and so came home, where I found Mr. Hunt and his
+wife who staid and sat with me till 10 and so good night.
+
+
+
+2d.  Drank at Harper's with Doling, and so to my office, where I found
+all the officers of the regiments in town, waiting to receive money that
+their soldiers might go out of town, and what was in the Exchequer they
+had.  At noon after dining at home I called at Harper's for Doling, and
+he and I met with Luellin and drank with him at the Exchequer at Charing
+Cross, and thence he and I went to the Temple to Mr. Calthrop's chamber,
+and from thence had his man by water to London Bridge to Mr. Calthrop, a
+grocer, and received L60 for my Lord.  In our way we talked with our
+waterman, White, who told us how the watermen had lately been abused by
+some that had a desire to get in to be watermen to the State, and had
+lately presented an address of nine or ten thousand hands to stand by
+this Parliament, when it was only told them that it was to a petition
+against hackney coaches; and that to-day they had put out another to
+undeceive the world and to clear themselves, and that among the rest
+Cropp, my waterman and one of great practice, was one that did cheat them
+thus.  After I had received the money we went to the Bridge Tavern and
+drank a quart of wine and so back by water, landing Mr. Calthrop's man at
+the Temple and we went homewards, but over against Somerset House,
+hearing the noise of guns, we landed and found the Strand full of
+soldiers.  So I took my money and went to Mrs. Johnson, my Lord's
+sempstress, and giving her my money to lay up, Doling and I went up
+stairs to a window, and looked out and see the foot face the horse and
+beat them back, and stood bawling and calling in the street for a free
+Parliament and money.  By and by a drum was heard to beat a march coming
+towards them, and they got all ready again and faced them, and they
+proved to be of the same mind with them; and so they made a great deal
+of joy to see one another.  After all this, I took my money, and went
+home on foot and laying up my money, and changing my stockings and shoes,
+I this day having left off my great skirt suit, and put on my white suit
+with silver lace coat, and went over to Harper's, where I met with
+W. Simons, Doling, Luellin and three merchants, one of which had occasion
+to use a porter, so they sent for one, and James the soldier came, who
+told us how they had been all day and night upon their guard at St.
+James's, and that through the whole town they did resolve to stand to
+what they had began, and that to-morrow he did believe they would go into
+the City, and be received there.  After all this we went to a sport
+called, selling of a horse for a dish of eggs and herrings, and sat
+talking there till almost twelve o'clock and then parted, they were to go
+as far as Aldgate.  Home and to bed.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Drank my morning draft at Harper's, and was told there that the
+soldiers were all quiet upon promise of pay.  Thence to St. James's Park,
+and walked there to my place for my flageolet and then played a little,
+it being a most pleasant morning and sunshine.  Back to Whitehall, where
+in the guard-chamber I saw about thirty or forty 'prentices of the City,
+who were taken at twelve o'clock last night and brought prisoners hither.
+Thence to my office, where I paid a little more money to some of the
+soldiers under Lieut.-Col. Miller (who held out the Tower against the
+Parliament after it was taken away from Fitch by the Committee of Safety,
+and yet he continued in his office).  About noon Mrs. Turner came to
+speak with me, and Joyce, and I took them and shewed them the manner of
+the Houses sitting, the doorkeeper very civilly opening the door for us.
+Thence with my cozen Roger Pepys,
+
+     [Roger Pepys, son of Talbot Pepys of Impington, a barrister of the
+     Middle Temple, M.P.  for Cambridge, 1661-78, and Recorder of that
+     town, 1660-88.  He married, for the third time, Parnell, daughter
+     and heiress of John Duke, of Workingham, co.  Suffolk, and this was
+     the wedding for which the posy ring was required.]
+
+it being term time, we took him out of the Hall to Priors, the Rhenish
+wine-house, and there had a pint or two of wine and a dish of anchovies,
+and bespoke three or four dozen bottles of wine for him against his
+wedding.  After this done he went away, and left me order to call and pay
+for all that Mrs. Turner would have.  So we called for nothing more
+there, but went and bespoke a shoulder of mutton at Wilkinson's to be
+roasted as well as it could be done, and sent a bottle of wine home to my
+house.  In the meantime she and I and Joyce went walking all over White
+Hall, whither General Monk was newly come, and we saw all his forces
+march by in very good plight and stout officers.  Thence to my house
+where we dined, but with a great deal of patience, for the mutton came in
+raw, and so we were fain to stay the stewing of it.  In the meantime we
+sat studying a Posy
+
+     [It is supposed that the fashion of having mottoes inscribed on
+     rings was of Roman origin.  In the fourteenth and fifteenth
+     centuries the posy was inscribed on the outside of the ring, and in
+     the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries it was placed inside.  A
+     small volume was published in 1674, entitled "Love's Garland: or
+     Posies for Rings, Handkerchers and Gloves, and such pretty tokens
+     that Lovers send their Loves."]
+
+for a ring for her which she is to have at Roger Pepys his wedding.
+After dinner I left them and went to hear news, but only found that the
+Parliament House was most of them with Monk at White Hall, and that in
+his passing through the town he had many calls to him for a free
+Parliament, but little other welcome.  I saw in the Palace Yard how
+unwilling some of the old soldiers were yet to go out of town without
+their money, and swore if they had it not in three days, as they were
+promised, they would do them more mischief in the country than if they
+had staid here; and that is very likely, the country being all
+discontented.  The town and guards are already full of Monk's soldiers.
+I returned, and it growing dark I and they went to take a turn in the
+park, where Theoph. (who was sent for to us to dinner) outran my wife and
+another poor woman, that laid a pot of ale with me that she would outrun
+her.  After that I set them as far as Charing Cross, and there left them
+and my wife, and I went to see Mrs. Ann, who began very high about a
+flock bed I sent her, but I took her down.  Here I played at cards till
+9 o'clock.  So home and to bed.
+
+
+
+4th.  In the morning at my lute an hour, and so to my office, where I
+staid expecting to have Mr. Squib come to me, but he did not.  At noon
+walking in the Hall I found Mr. Swan and got him and Captain Stone
+together, and there advised about Mr. Downing's business.  So to Will's,
+and sat there till three o'clock and then to Mr. Swan's, where I found
+his wife in very genteel mourning for her father, and took him out by
+water to the Counsellor at the Temple, Mr. Stephens, and from thence to
+Gray's Inn, thinking to speak with Sotherton Ellis, but found him not, so
+we met with an acquaintance of his in the walks, and went and drank,
+where I ate some bread and butter, having ate nothing all day, while they
+were by chance discoursing of Marriot, the great eater, so that I was, I
+remember, ashamed to eat what I would have done.  Here Swan shewed us a
+ballad to the tune of Mardike which was most incomparably wrote in a
+printed hand, which I borrowed of him, but the song proved but silly, and
+so I did not write it out.  Thence we went and leaving Swan at his
+master's, my Lord Widdrington, I met with Spicer, Washington, and
+D. Vines in Lincoln's Inn Court, and they were buying of a hanging jack
+to roast birds on of a fellow that was there selling of some.  I was fain
+to slip from there and went to Mrs. Crew's to her and advised about a
+maid to come and be with Mrs. Jem while her maid is sick, but she could
+spare none.  Thence to Sir Harry Wright's, but my lady not being within I
+spoke to Mrs. Carter about it, who will get one against Monday.  So with
+a link boy
+
+     [Links were torches of tow or pitch to light the way.  D.W.]
+
+to Scott's, where Mrs. Ann was in a heat, but I spoke not to her,
+but told Mrs. Jem what I had done, and after that went home and wrote
+letters into the country by the post, and then played awhile on my
+lute, and so done, to supper and then to bed.  All the news to-day is,
+that the Parliament this morning voted the House to be made up four
+hundred forthwith.  This day my wife killed her turkeys that Mr. Sheply
+gave her, that came out of Zealand with my Lord, and could not get her
+m'd Jane by no means at any time to kill anything.
+
+
+
+5th,(Lord's day).  In the morning before church time Mr. Hawly, who had
+for this day or two looked something sadly, which methinks did speak
+something in his breast concerning me, came to me telling me that he was
+out L24 which he could not tell what was become of, and that he do
+remember that he had such a sum in a bag the other day, and could not
+tell what he did with it, at which I was very sorry but could not help
+him.  In the morning to Mr. Gunning, where a stranger, an old man,
+preached a good honest sermon upon "What manner of love is this that we
+should be called the sons of God."  After sermon I could not find my
+wife, who promised to be at the gate against my coming out, and waited
+there a great while; then went to my house and finding her gone I
+returned and called at the Chequers, thinking to dine at the ordinary
+with Mr. Chetwind and Mr. Thomas, but they not being there I went to my
+father and found her there, and there I dined.  To their church in the
+afternoon, and in Mrs. Turner's pew my wife took up a good black hood and
+kept it.  A stranger preached a poor sermon, and so read over the whole
+book of the story of Tobit.  After sermon home with Mrs. Turner, staid
+with her a little while, then she went into the court to a christening
+and we to my father's, where I wrote some notes for my brother John to
+give to the Mercers' to-morrow, it being the day of their apposition.
+After supper home, and before going to bed I staid writing of this day
+its passages, while a drum came by, beating of a strange manner of beat,
+now and then a single stroke, which my wife and I wondered at, what the
+meaning of it should be.  This afternoon at church I saw Dick Cumberland
+newly come out of the country from his living, but did not speak to him.
+
+
+
+6th.  Before I went to my office I went to Mr. Crew's and paid Mr.
+Andrews the same L60 that he had received of Mr. Calthrop the last week.
+So back to Westminster and walked with him thither, where we found the
+soldiers all set in the Palace Yard, to make way for General Monk to come
+to the House.  At the Hall we parted, and meeting Swan, he and I to the
+Swan and drank our morning draft.  So back again to the Hall, where I
+stood upon the steps and saw Monk go by, he making observance to the
+judges as he went along.  At noon my father dined with me upon my turkey
+that was brought from Denmark, and after dinner he and I to the Bull Head
+Tavern, where we drank half a pint of wine and so parted.  I to Mrs. Ann,
+and Mrs. Jem being gone out of the chamber she and I had a very high
+bout, I rattled her up, she being in her bed, but she becoming more cool,
+we parted pretty good friends.  Thence I went to Will's, where I staid at
+cards till 10 o'clock, losing half a crown, and so home to bed.
+
+
+
+7th.  In the morning I went early to give Mr. Hawly notice of my being
+forced to go into London, but he having also business we left our office
+business to Mr. Spicer and he and I walked as far as the Temple, where I
+halted a little and then went to Paul's School, but it being too soon,
+went and drank my morning draft with my cozen Tom Pepys the turner, and
+saw his house and shop, thence to school, where he that made the speech
+for the seventh form in praise of the founder, did show a book which Mr.
+Crumlum had lately got, which is believed to be of the Founder's own
+writing.  After all the speeches, in which my brother John came off as
+well as any of the rest, I went straight home and dined, then to the
+Hall, where in the Palace I saw Monk's soldiers abuse Billing and all the
+Quakers, that were at a meeting-place there, and indeed the soldiers did
+use them very roughly and were to blame.
+
+     ["Fox, or some other 'weighty' friend, on hearing of this,
+     complained to Monk, who issued the following order, dated March 9th:
+     'I do require all officers and soldiers to forbear to disturb
+     peaceable meetings of the Quakers, they doing nothing prejudicial to
+     the Parliament or the Commonwealth of England.  George Monk.'  This
+     order, we are told, had an excellent effect on the soldiers."--A. C.
+     Bickley's 'George Fox and the Early Quakers, London, 1884, p. 179.
+     The Quakers were at this time just coming into notice.  The first
+     preaching of George Fox, the founder, was in 1648, and in 1655 the
+     preachers of the sect numbered seventy-three.  Fox computed that
+     there were seldom less than a thousand quakers in prison.  The
+     statute 13 and 14 Car. II.  cap. i. (1662) was "An act for
+     preventing the mischiefs and dangers that may arise by certain
+     persons called quakers and others, refusing to take lawful oaths."
+     Billing is mentioned again on July 22nd, 1667, when he addressed
+     Pepys in Westminster Hall.]
+
+So after drinking with Mr. Spicer, who had received L600 for me this
+morning, I went to Capt. Stone and with him by coach to the Temple
+Gardens (all the way talking of the disease of the stone), where we met
+Mr. Squib, but would do nothing till to-morrow morning.  Thence back on
+foot home, where I found a letter from my Lord in character [private
+cryptic code  D.W.], which I construed, and after my wife had shewn me
+some ribbon and shoes that she had taken out of a box of Mr. Montagu's
+which formerly Mr. Kipps had left here when his master was at sea, I went
+to Mr. Crew and advised with him about it, it being concerning my Lord's
+coming up to Town, which he desires upon my advice the last week in my
+letter.  Thence calling upon Mrs. Ann I went home, and wrote in character
+to my Lord in answer to his letter.  This day Mr. Crew told me that my
+Lord St. John is for a free Parliament, and that he is very great with
+Monk, who hath now the absolute command and power to do any thing that he
+hath a mind to do.  Mr. Moore told me of a picture hung up at the
+Exchange of a great pair of buttocks shooting of a turd into Lawson's
+mouth, and over it was wrote "The thanks of the house."  Boys do now cry
+"Kiss my Parliament, instead of "Kiss my [rump]," so great and general a
+contempt is the Rump come to among all the good and bad.
+
+
+
+8th.  A little practice on my flageolet, and afterwards walking in my
+yard to see my stock of pigeons, which begin now with the spring to breed
+very fast.  I was called on by Mr. Fossan, my fellow pupil at Cambridge,
+and I took him to the Swan in the Palace yard, and drank together our
+morning draft.  Thence to my office, where I received money, and
+afterwards Mr. Carter, my old friend at Cambridge, meeting me as I was
+going out of my office I took him to the Swan, and in the way I met with
+Captain Lidcott, and so we three went together and drank there, the
+Captain talking as high as ever he did, and more because of the fall of
+his brother Thurlow.
+
+     [John Thurloe, born 1616; Secretary of State to Cromwell; M.P. for
+     Ely, 1656, and for the University of Cambridge in Richard Cromwell's
+     Parliament of December, 1658.  He was never employed after the
+     Restoration, although the King solicited his services.  He died
+     February 21st, 1668.  Pepys spells the name Thurlow, which was a
+     common spelling at the time.]
+
+Hence I went to Captain Stone, who told me how Squib had been with him,
+and that he could do nothing with him, so I returned to Mr. Carter and
+with him to Will's, where I spent upon him and Monsieur L'Impertinent,
+alias Mr. Butler, who I took thither with me, and thence to a Rhenish
+wine house, and in our way met with Mr. Hoole, where I paid for my cozen
+Roger Pepys his wine, and after drinking we parted.  So I home, in my way
+delivering a letter which among the rest I had from my Lord to-day to Sir
+N. Wheeler.  At home my wife's brother brought her a pretty black dog
+which I liked very well, and went away again.  Hence sending a porter
+with the hamper of bottles to the Temple I called in my way upon Mrs.
+Jem, who was much frighted till I came to tell her that her mother was
+well.  So to the Temple, where I delivered the wine and received the
+money of my cos. Roger that I laid out, and thence to my father's, where
+he shewed me a base angry letter that he had newly received from my uncle
+Robert about my brother John, at which my father was very sad, but I
+comforted him and wrote an answer.  My brother John has an exhibition
+granted him from the school.  My father and I went down to his kitchen,
+and there we eat and drank, and about 9 o'clock I went away homewards,
+and in Fleet Street, received a great jostle from a man that had a mind
+to take the wall, which I could not help?
+
+     [This was a constant trouble to the pedestrian until the rule of
+     passing to the right of the person met was generally accepted.  Gay
+     commences his "Trivia" with an allusion to this--
+
+          "When to assert the wall, and when resign--"
+
+     and the epigram on the haughty courtier and the scholar is well
+     known.]
+
+I came home and to bed.  Went to bed with my head not well by my too much
+drinking to-day, and I had a boil under my chin which troubled me
+cruelly.
+
+
+
+9th.  Soon as out of my bed I wrote letters into the country to go by
+carrier to-day.  Before I was out of my bed, I heard the soldiers very
+busy in the morning, getting their horses ready where they lay at
+Hilton's, but I knew not then their meaning in so doing: After I had
+wrote my letters I went to Westminster up and down the Hall, and with Mr.
+Swan walked a good [deal] talking about Mr. Downing's business.  I went
+with him to Mr. Phelps's house where he had some business to solicit,
+where we met Mr. Rogers my neighbour, who did solicit against him and
+talked very high, saying that he would not for a L1000 appear in a
+business that Swan did, at which Swan was very angry, but I believe he
+might be guilty enough.  In the Hall I understand how Monk is this
+morning gone into London with his army; and met with Mr. Fage, who told
+me that he do believe that Monk is gone to secure some of the Common-
+council of the City, who were very high yesterday there, and did vote
+that they would not pay any taxes till the House was filled up.  I went
+to my office, where I wrote to my Lord after I had been at the Upper
+Bench,  where Sir Robert Pye
+
+     [Sir Robert Pye, the elder, was auditor of the Exchequer, and a
+     staunch Royalist.  He garrisoned his house at Faringdon, which was
+     besieged by his son, of the same names, a decided Republican, son-
+     in-law to Hampden, and colonel of horse under Fairfax.  The son,
+     here spoken of, was subsequently committed to the Tower for
+     presenting a petition to the House of Commons from the county of
+     Berks, which he represented in Parliament, complaining of the want
+     of a settled form of government.  He had, however, the courage to
+     move for an habeas corpus, but judge Newdigate decided that the
+     courts of law had not the power to discharge him.  Upon Monk's
+     coming to London, the secluded members passed a vote to liberate
+     Pye, and at the Restoration he was appointed equerry to the King.
+     He died in 1701.--B.]
+
+this morning came to desire his discharge from the Tower; but it could
+not be granted.  After that I went to Mrs. Jem, who I had promised to go
+along with to her Aunt Wright's, but she was gone, so I went thither, and
+after drinking a glass of sack I went back to Westminster Hall, and
+meeting with Mr. Pierce the surgeon, who would needs take me home, where
+Mr. Lucy, Burrell, and others dined, and after dinner I went home and to
+Westminster Hall, where meeting Swan I went with him by water to the
+Temple to our Counsel, and did give him a fee to make a motion to-morrow
+in the Exchequer for Mr. Downing.  Thence to Westminster Hall, where I
+heard an action very finely pleaded between my Lord Dorset and some other
+noble persons, his lady and other ladies of quality being here, and it
+was about; L330 per annum, that was to be paid to a poor Spittal, which
+was given by some of his predecessors; and given on his side.  Thence
+Swan and I to a drinking-house near Temple Bar, where while he wrote I
+played on my flageolet till a dish of poached eggs was got ready for us,
+which we eat, and so by coach home.  I called at Mr. Harper's, who told
+me how Monk had this day clapt up many of the Common-council, and that
+the Parliament had voted that he should pull down their gates and
+portcullisses, their posts and their chains, which he do intend to do,
+and do lie in the City all night.  I went home and got some ahlum to my
+mouth, where I have the beginnings of a cancer, and had also a plaster to
+my boil underneath my chin.
+
+
+
+10th.  In the morning I went to Mr. Swan, who took me to the Court of
+Wards,  where I saw the three Lords Commissioners sitting upon some cause
+where Mr. Scobell was concerned, and my Lord Fountaine took him up very
+roughly about some things that he said.  After that we went to the
+Exchequer, where the Barons were hearing of causes, and there I made
+affidavit that Mr. Downing was gone into Holland by order of the Council
+of State, and this affidavit I gave to Mr. Stevens our lawyer.  Thence to
+my office, where I got money of Mr. Hawly to pay the lawyer, and there
+found Mr. Lenard, one of the Clerks of the Council, and took him to the
+Swan and gave him his morning draft.  Then home to dinner, and after that
+to the Exchequer, where I heard all the afternoon a great many causes
+before the Barons; in the end came ours, and Squib proved clearly by his
+patent that the house and office did now belong to him.  Our lawyer made
+some kind of opposition, but to no purpose, and so the cause was found
+against us, and the foreman of the jury brought in L10 damages, which the
+whole Court cried shame of, and so he cried 12d.  Thence I went home,
+vexed about this business, and there I found Mr. Moore, and with him went
+into London to Mr. Fage about the cancer in my mouth, which begins to
+grow dangerous, who gave me something for it, and also told me what Monk
+had done in the City, how he had pulled down the most part of the gates
+and chains that they could break down, and that he was now gone back to
+White Hall.  The City look mighty blank, and cannot tell what in the
+world to do; the Parliament having this day ordered that the Common-
+council sit no more; but that new ones be chosen according to what
+qualifications they shall give them.  Thence I went and drank with Mr.
+Moore at the Sugar Loaf by Temple Bar, where Swan and I were last night,
+and so we parted.  At home I found Mr. Hunt, who sat talking with me
+awhile, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  This morning I lay long abed, and then to my office, where I read
+all the morning my Spanish book of Rome.  At noon I walked in the Hall,
+where I heard the news of a letter from Monk, who was now gone into the
+City again, and did resolve to stand for the sudden filling up of the
+House, and it was very strange how the countenance of men in the Hall was
+all changed with joy in half an hour's time.  So I went up to the lobby,
+where I saw the Speaker reading of the letter; and after it was read, Sir
+A. Haselrigge came out very angry, and Billing--[The quaker mentioned
+before on the 7th of this month.]--standing at the door, took him by the
+arm, and cried, "Thou man, will thy beast carry thee no longer?  thou
+must fall!"  The House presently after rose, and appointed to meet again
+at three o'clock.  I went then down into the Hall, where I met with Mr.
+Chetwind, who had not dined no more than myself, and so we went toward
+London, in our way calling at two or three shops, but could have no
+dinner.  At last, within Temple Bar, we found a pullet ready roasted, and
+there we dined.  After that he went to his office in Chancery Lane,
+calling at the Rolls, where I saw the lawyers pleading.  Then to his
+office, where I sat in his study singing, while he was with his man (Mr.
+Powell's son) looking after his business.  Thence we took coach for the
+City to Guildhall, where the Hall was full of people expecting Monk and
+Lord Mayor to come thither, and all very joyfull.  Here we stayed a great
+while, and at last meeting with a friend of his we went to the 3 Tun
+tavern and drank half a pint of wine, and not liking the wine we went to
+an alehouse, where we met with company of this third man's acquaintance,
+and there we drank a little.  Hence I went alone to Guildhall to see
+whether Monk was come again or no, and met with him coming out of the
+chamber where he had been with the Mayor and Aldermen, but such a shout
+I never heard in all my life, crying out, "God bless your Excellence."
+Here I met with Mr. Lock, and took him to an alehouse, and left him there
+to fetch Chetwind; when we were come together, Lock told us the substance
+of the letter that went from Monk to the Parliament; wherein, after
+complaints that he and his officers were put upon such offices against
+the City as they could not do with any content or honour, that there are
+many members now in the House that were of the late tyrannical Committee
+of Safety.  That Lambert and Vane are now in town, contrary to the vote
+of Parliament.  That there were many in the House that do press for new
+oaths to be put upon men; whereas we have more cause to be sorry for the
+many oaths that we have already taken and broken.  That the late petition
+of the fanatique people presented by Barebone, for the imposing of an
+oath upon all sorts of people, was received by the House with thanks.
+That therefore he [Monk] do desire that all writs for filling up of the
+House be issued by Friday next, and that in the mean time, he would
+retire into the City and only leave them guards for the security of the
+House and Council.  The occasion of this was the order that he had last
+night to go into the City and disarm them, and take away their charter;
+whereby he and his officers say that the House had a mind to put them
+upon things that should make them odious; and so it would be in their
+power to do what they would with them.  He told us that they [the
+Parliament] had sent Scott and Robinson to him [Monk] this afternoon, but
+he would not hear them.  And that the Mayor and Aldermen had offered him
+their own houses for himself and his officers; and that his soldiers
+would lack for nothing.  And indeed I saw many people give the soldiers
+drink and money, and all along in the streets cried, "God bless them!"
+and extraordinary good words.  Hence we went to a merchant's house hard
+by, where Lock wrote a note and left, where I saw Sir Nich. Crisp, and so
+we went to the Star Tavern (Monk being then at Benson's), where we dined
+and I wrote a letter to my Lord from thence.  In Cheapside there was a
+great many bonfires, and Bow bells and all the bells in all the churches
+as we went home were a-ringing.  Hence we went homewards, it being about
+ten o'clock.  But the common joy that was every where to be seen!  The
+number of bonfires, there being fourteen between St. Dunstan's and Temple
+Bar, and at Strand Bridge' I could at one view tell thirty-one fires.  In
+King-street seven or eight; and all along burning, and roasting, and
+drinking for rumps.  There being rumps tied upon sticks and carried up
+and down.  The butchers at the May Pole in the Strand rang a peal with
+their knives when they were going to sacrifice their rump.  On Ludgate
+Hill there was one turning of the spit that had a rump tied upon it, and
+another basting of it.  Indeed it was past imagination, both the
+greatness and the suddenness of it.  At one end of the street you would
+think there was a whole lane of fire, and so hot that we were fain to
+keep still on the further side merely for heat.  We came to the Chequers
+at Charing Cross, where Chetwind wrote a letter and I gave him an account
+of what I had wrote for him to write.  Thence home and sent my letters to
+the posthouse in London, and my wife and I (after Mr. Hunt was gone, whom
+I found waiting at my house) went out again to show her the fires, and
+after walking as far as the Exchange we returned and to bed.
+
+
+
+12th.  In the morning, it being Lord's day, Mr. Pierce came to me to
+enquire how things go.  We drank our morning draft together and thence to
+White Hall, where Dr. Hones preached; but I staid not to hear, but
+walking in the court, I heard that Sir Arth. Haselrigge was newly gone
+into the City to Monk, and that Monk's wife removed from White Hall last
+night.  Home again, where at noon came according to my invitation my cos.
+Thos. Pepys and his partner and dined with me, but before dinner we went
+and took a walk round the park, it being a most pleasant day as ever I
+saw.  After dinner we three went into London together, where I heard that
+Monk had been at Paul's in the morning, and the people had shouted much
+at his coming out of the church.  In the afternoon he was at a church in
+Broad-street, whereabout he do lodge.  But not knowing how to see him we
+went and walked half a hour in Moorfields, which were full of people, it
+being so fine a day.  Here I took leave of them, and so to Paul's, where
+I met with Mr. Kirton's' apprentice (the crooked fellow) and walked up
+and down with him two hours, sometimes in the street looking for a tavern
+to drink in, but not finding any open, we durst not knock; other times in
+the churchyard, where one told me that he had seen the letter printed.
+Thence to Mr. Turner's, where I found my wife, Mr. Edw. Pepys, and Roger'
+and Mr. Armiger being there, to whom I gave as good an account of things
+as I could, and so to my father's, where Charles Glascocke was overjoyed
+to see how things are now; who told me the boys had last night broke
+Barebone's windows.  Hence home, and being near home we missed our maid,
+and were at a great loss and went back a great way to find her, but when
+we could not see her we went homewards and found her there, got before us
+which we wondered at greatly.  So to bed, where my wife and I had some
+high words upon my telling her that I would fling the dog which her
+brother gave her out of window if he [dirtied] the house any more.
+
+
+
+13th.  To my office till noon, thence home to dinner, my mouth being very
+bad of the cancer and my left leg beginning to be sore again.  After
+dinner to see Mrs. Jem, and in the way met with Catan on foot in the
+street and talked with her a little, so home and took my wife to my
+father's.  In my way I went to Playford's, and for two books that I had
+and 6s. 6d. to boot I had my great book of songs which he sells always
+for r 4s.  At my father's I staid a while, while my mother sent her maid
+Bess to Cheapside for some herbs to make a water for my mouth.  Then I
+went to see Mr. Cumberland, and after a little stay with him I returned,
+and took my wife home, where after supper to bed.  This day Monk was
+invited to White Hall to dinner by my Lords; not seeming willing, he
+would not come.  I went to Mr. Fage from my father's, who had been this
+afternoon with Monk, who do promise to live and die with the City, and
+for the honour of the City; and indeed the City is very open-handed to
+the soldiers, that they are most of them drunk all day, and have money
+given them.  He did give me something for my mouth which I did use this
+night.
+
+

+14th.  Called out in the morning by Mr. Moore, whose voice my wife
+hearing in my dressing-chamber with me, got herself ready, and came down
+and challenged him for her valentine, this being the day.
+
+     [The practice of choosing valentines was very general at this time,
+     but some of the best examples of the custom are found in this
+     Diary.]
+
+To Westminster Hall, there being many new remonstrances and declarations
+from many counties to Monk and the City, and one coming from the North
+from Sir Thomas Fairfax. Hence I took him to the Swan and gave him his
+morning draft.  So to my office, where Mr. Hill of Worcestershire came to
+see me and my partner in our office, with whom we went to Will's to
+drink.  At noon I went home and so to Mr. Crew's, but they had dined, and
+so I went to see Mrs. Jem where I stayed a while, and home again where I
+stayed an hour or two at my lute, and so forth to Westminster Hall, where
+I heard that the Parliament hath now changed the oath so much talked of
+to a promise; and that among other qualifications for the members that
+are to be chosen, one is, that no man, nor the son of any man that hath
+been in arms during the life of the father, shall be capable of being
+chosen to sit in Parliament.  To Will's, where like a fool I staid and
+lost 6d. at cards.  So home, and wrote a letter to my Lord by the post.
+So after supper to bed.  This day, by an order of the House, Sir H. Vane
+was sent out of town to his house in Lincolnshire.
+
+
+
+15th.  Called up in the morning by Captain Holland and Captain Cuttance,
+and with them to Harper's, thence to my office, thence with Mr. Hill of
+Worcestershire to Will's, where I gave him a letter to Nan Pepys, and
+some merry pamphlets against the Rump to carry to her into the country.
+So to Mr. Crew's, where the dining room being full, Mr. Walgrave and I
+dined below in the buttery by ourselves upon a good dish of buttered
+salmon.  Thence to Hering' the merchant about my Lord's Worcester money
+and back to Paul's Churchyard, where I staid reading in Fuller's History
+of the Church of England an hour or two, and so to my father's, where Mr.
+Hill came to me and I gave him direction what to do at Worcester about
+the money.  Thence to my Lady Wright's and gave her a letter from my Lord
+privily.  So to Mrs. Jem and sat with her, who dined at Mr. Crew's
+to-day, and told me that there was at her coming away at least forty
+gentlemen (I suppose members that were secluded, for Mr. Walgrave told me
+that there were about thirty met there the last night) came dropping in
+one after another thither.  Thence home and wrote into the country
+against to-morrow by the carrier and so to bed.  At my father's I heard
+how my cousin Kate Joyce had a fall yesterday from her horse and had some
+hurt thereby.  No news to-day, but all quiet to see what the Parliament
+will do about the issuing of the writs to-morrow for filling up of the
+House, according to Monk's desire.
+
+
+
+16th, In the morning at my lute.  Then came Shaw and Hawly, and I gave
+them their morning draft at my house.  So to my office, where I wrote by
+the carrier to my Lord and sealed my letter at Will's, and gave it old
+East to carry it to the carrier's, and to take up a box of china oranges
+and two little barrels of scallops at my house, which Captain Cuttance
+sent to me for my Lord.  Here I met with Osborne and with Shaw and
+Spicer, and we went to the Sun Tavern in expectation of a dinner, where
+we had sent us only two trenchers-full of meat, at which we were very
+merry, while in came Mr. Wade and his friend Capt. Moyse (who told us of
+his hopes to get an estate merely for his name's sake), and here we staid
+till seven at night, I winning a quart of sack of Shaw that one
+trencherfull that was sent us was all lamb and he that it was veal.  I by
+having but 3d. in my pocket made shift to spend no more, whereas if I had
+had more I had spent more as the rest did, so that I see it is an
+advantage to a man to carry little in his pocket.  Home, and after
+supper, and a little at my flute, I went to bed.
+
+
+
+17th.  In the morning Tom that was my Lord's footboy came to see me and
+had 10s. of me of the money which I have to keep of his.  So that now I
+have but 35s. more of his.  Then came Mr. Hills the instrument maker, and
+I consulted with him about the altering my lute and my viall.  After that
+I went into my study and did up my accounts, and found that I am about;
+L40 beforehand in the world, and that is all.  So to my office and from
+thence brought Mr. Hawly home with me to dinner, and after dinner wrote a
+letter to Mr. Downing about his business and gave it Hawly, and so went
+to Mr. Gunning's to his weekly fast, and after sermon, meeting there with
+Monsieur L'Impertinent, we went and walked in the park till it was dark.
+I played on my pipe at the Echo, and then drank a cup of ale at Jacob's.
+So to Westminster Hall, and he with me, where I heard that some of the
+members of the House were gone to meet with some of the secluded members
+and General Monk in the City.  Hence we went to White Hall, thinking to
+hear more news, where I met with Mr. Hunt, who told me how Monk had sent
+for all his goods that he had here into the City; and yet again he told
+me, that some of the members of the House had this day laid in firing
+into their lodgings at White Hall for a good while, so that we are at a
+great stand to think what will become of things, whether Monk will stand
+to the Parliament or no.  Hence Mons. L'Impertinent and I to Harper's,
+and there drank a cup or two to the King, and to his fair sister Frances
+--[Frances Butler, the great beauty, who is sometimes styled.  la belle
+Boteler.]--good health, of whom we had much discourse of her not being
+much the worse for the small pox, which she had this last summer.  So
+home and to bed.  This day we are invited to my uncle Fenner's wedding
+feast, but went not, this being the 27th year.
+
+
+
+18th.  A great while at my vial and voice, learning to sing "Fly boy, fly
+boy," without book.  So to my office, where little to do.  In the Hall I
+met with Mr. Eglin and one Looker, a famous gardener, servant to my Lord
+Salsbury, and among other things the gardener told a strange passage in
+good earnest .  .  .  .  Home to dinner, and then went to my Lord's
+lodgings to my turret there and took away most of my books, and sent them
+home by my maid.  Thither came Capt.  Holland to me who took me to the
+Half Moon tavern and Mr. Southorne, Blackburne's clerk.  Thence he took
+me to the Mitre in Fleet Street, where we heard (in a room over the music
+room) very plainly through the ceiling.  Here we parted and I to Mr.
+Wotton's, and with him to an alehouse and drank while he told me a great
+many stories of comedies that he had formerly seen acted, and the names
+of the principal actors, and gave me a very good account of it.  Thence
+to Whitehall, where I met with Luellin and in the clerk's chamber wrote a
+letter to my Lord.  So home and to bed.  This day two soldiers were
+hanged in the Strand for their late mutiny at Somerset-house.
+
+
+
+19th (Lord's day).  Early in the morning I set my books that I brought
+home yesterday up in order in my study.  Thence forth to Mr. Harper's to
+drink a draft of purle,--[Purl is hot beer flavoured with wormwood or
+other aromatic herbs.  The name is also given to hot beer flavoured with
+gin, sugar, and ginger.]--whither by appointment Monsieur L'Impertinent,
+who did intend too upon my desire to go along with me to St.
+Bartholomew's, to hear one Mr. Sparks, but it raining very hard we went
+to Mr. Gunning's and heard an excellent sermon, and speaking of the
+character that the Scripture gives of Ann the mother of the blessed
+Virgin, he did there speak largely in commendation of widowhood, and not
+as we do to marry two or three wives or husbands, one after another.
+Here I met with Mr. Moore, and went home with him to dinner, where he
+told me the discourse that happened between the secluded members and the
+members of the House, before Monk last Friday.  How the secluded said,
+that they did not intend by coming in to express revenge upon these men,
+but only to meet and dissolve themselves, and only to issue writs for a
+free Parliament.  He told me how Haselrigge was afraid to have the candle
+carried before him, for fear that the people seeing him, would do him
+hurt; and that he is afraid to appear in the City.  That there is great
+likelihood that the secluded members will come in, and so Mr. Crew and my
+Lord are likely to be great men, at which I was very glad.  After diner
+there was many secluded members come in to Mr. Crew, which, it being the
+Lord's day, did make Mr. Moore believe that there was something
+extraordinary in the business.  Hence home and brought my wife to Mr.
+Mossum's to hear him, and indeed he made a very good sermon, but only too
+eloquent for a pulpit.  Here Mr. L'Impertinent helped me to a seat.
+After sermon to my father's; and fell in discourse concerning our going
+to Cambridge the next week with my brother John.  To Mrs. Turner where
+her brother, Mr. Edward Pepys, was there, and I sat a great while talking
+of public business of the times with him.  So to supper to my Father's,
+all supper talking of John's going to Cambridge.  So home, and it raining
+my wife got my mother's French mantle and my brother John's hat, and so
+we went all along home and to bed.
+
+
+
+20th.  In the morning at my lute.  Then to my office, where my partner
+and I made even our balance.  Took him home to dinner with me, where my
+brother John came to dine with me.  After dinner I took him to my study
+at home and at my Lord's, and gave him some books and other things
+against his going to Cambridge.  After he was gone I went forth to
+Westminster Hall, where I met with Chetwind, Simons, and Gregory.  And
+with them to Marsh's at Whitehall to drink, and staid there a pretty
+while reading a pamphlet well writ and directed to General Monk, in
+praise of the form of monarchy which was settled here before the wars.
+
+     [This pamphlet is among the Thomason Collection of Civil War Tracts
+     (British Museum), and dated in MS.  this same day, February 20th--
+     "A Plea for Limited Monarchy as it was established in this Nation
+     before the late War.  In an Humble Address to his Excellency General
+     Monck.  By a Zealot for the good old Laws of his Country, before any
+     Faction or Caprice, with additions."  "An Eccho to the Plea for
+     Limited Monarchy, &c.," was published soon afterwards.]
+
+They told me how the Speaker Lenthall do refuse to sign the writs for
+choice of new members in the place of the excluded; and by that means the
+writs could not go out to-day.  In the evening Simons and I to the Coffee
+Club, where nothing to do only I heard Mr. Harrington, and my Lord of
+Dorset and another Lord, talking of getting another place as the Cockpit,
+and they did believe it would come to something.  After a small debate
+upon the question whether learned or unlearned subjects are the best the
+Club broke up very poorly, and I do not think they will meet any more.
+Hence with Vines, &c.  to Will's, and after a pot or two home, and so to
+bed.
+
+
+
+21st. In the morning going out I saw many soldiers going towards
+Westminster, and was told that they were going to admit the secluded
+members again.  So I to Westminster Hall, and in Chancery Row I saw about
+twenty of them who had been at White Hall with General Monk, who came
+thither this morning, and made a speech to them, and recommended to them
+a Commonwealth, and against Charles Stuart.  They came to the House and
+went in one after another, and at last the Speaker came.  But it is very
+strange that this could be carried so private, that the other members of
+the House heard nothing of all this, till they found them in the House,
+insomuch that the soldiers that stood there to let in the secluded
+members, they took for such as they had ordered to stand there to hinder
+their coming in.  Mr. Prin came with an old basket-hilt sword on, and had
+a great many great shouts upon his going into the Hall.  They sat till
+noon, and at their coming out Mr. Crew saw me, and bid me come to his
+house, which I did, and he would have me dine with him, which I did; and
+he very joyful told me that the House had made General Monk, General of
+all the Forces in England, Scotland, and Ireland; and that upon Monk's
+desire, for the service that Lawson had lately done in pulling down the
+Committee of Safety, he had the command of the Sea for the time being.
+He advised me to send for my Lord forthwith, and told me that there is no
+question that, if he will, he may now be employed again; and that the
+House do intend to do nothing more than to issue writs, and to settle a
+foundation for a free Parliament.  After dinner I back to Westminster
+Hall with him in his coach.  Here I met with Mr. Lock and Pursell,
+Masters of Music,--[Henry Purcell, father of the celebrated composer, was
+gentleman of the Chapel Royal.]--and with them to the Coffee House, into
+a room next the water, by ourselves, where we spent an hour or two till
+Captain Taylor came to us, who told us, that the House had voted the
+gates of the City to be made up again, and the members of the City that
+are in prison to be set at liberty; and that Sir G. Booth's' case be
+brought into the House to-morrow.  Here we had variety of brave Italian
+and Spanish songs, and a canon for eight voices, which Mr. Lock had
+lately made on these words: "Domine salvum fac Regem," an admirable
+thing.  Here also Capt. Taylor began a discourse of something that he had
+lately writ about Gavelkind in answer to one that had wrote a piece upon
+the same subject; and indeed discovered a great deal of study in
+antiquity in his discourse.  Here out of the window it was a most
+pleasant sight to see the City from one end to the other with a glory
+about it, so high was the light of the bonfires, and so thick round the
+City, and the bells rang everywhere.  Hence home and wrote to my Lord,
+afterwards came down and found Mr. Hunt (troubled at this change) and Mr.
+Spong, who staid late with me singing of a song or two, and so parted.
+My wife not very well, went to bed before.  This morning I met in the
+Hall with Mr. Fuller, of Christ's, and told him of my design to go to
+Cambridge, and whither.  He told me very freely the temper of Mr.
+Widdrington, how he did oppose all the fellows in the College, and that
+there was a great distance between him and the rest, at which I was very
+sorry, for that he told me he feared it would be little to my brother's
+advantage to be his pupil.
+
+
+
+22nd.  In the morning intended to have gone to Mr. Crew's to borrow some
+money, but it raining I forbore, and went to my Lord's lodging and look
+that all things were well there.  Then home and sang a song to my viall,
+so to my office and to Will's, where Mr. Pierce found me out, and told me
+that he would go with me to Cambridge, where Colonel Ayre's regiment, to
+which he was surgeon, lieth.  Walking in the Hall, I saw Major-General
+Brown, who had along time been banished by the Rump, but now with his
+beard overgrown, he comes abroad and sat in the House.  To my father's to
+dinner, where nothing but a small dish of powdered beef--[Boiled salt
+beef.  To powder was to sprinkle with salt, and the powdering tub a
+vessel in which meat was salted.]--and dish of carrots; they being all
+busy to get things ready for my brother John to go to-morrow.  After
+dinner, my wife staying there, I went to Mr. Crew's, and got; L5 of Mr.
+Andrews, and so to Mrs. Jemimah, who now hath her instrument about her
+neck, and indeed is infinitely, altered, and holds her head upright.
+I paid her, maid 40s. of the money that I have received of Mr. Andrews.
+Hence home to my study, where I only wrote thus much of this day's
+passages to this * and so out again.  To White Hall, where I met with
+Will.  Simons and Mr. Mabbot at Marsh's, who told me how the House had
+this day voted that the gates of the City should be set up at the cost of
+the State.  And that Major-General Brown's being proclaimed a traitor be
+made void, and several other things of that nature.  Home for my lanthorn
+and so to my father's, where I directed John what books to put for
+Cambridge.  After that to supper, where my Uncle Fenner and my Aunt, The.
+Turner, and Joyce, at a brave leg of veal roasted, and were very merry
+against John's going to Cambridge.  I observed this day how abominably
+Barebone's windows are broke again last night.  At past 9 o'clock my wife
+and I went home.
+
+
+
+23rd.  Thursday, my birthday, now twenty-seven years.  A pretty fair
+morning, I rose and after writing a while in my study I went forth.  To
+my office, where I told Mr. Hawly of my thoughts to go out of town
+to-morrow.  Hither Mr. Fuller comes to me and my Uncle Thomas too, thence
+I took them to drink, and so put off my uncle.  So with Mr. Fuller home
+to my house, where he dined with me, and he told my wife and me a great
+many stories of his adversities, since these troubles, in being forced to
+travel in the Catholic countries, &c.  He shewed me his bills, but I had
+not money to pay him.  We parted, and I to Whitehall, where I was to see
+my horse which Mr. Garthwayt lends me to-morrow.  So home, where Mr.
+Pierce comes to me about appointing time and place where and when to meet
+tomorrow.  So to Westminster Hall, where, after the House rose, I met
+with Mr. Crew, who told me that my Lord was chosen by 73 voices, to be
+one of the Council of State.  Mr. Pierpoint had the most, 101, and
+himself the next, too.  He brought me in the coach home.  He and Mr.
+Anslow being in it.  I back to the Hall, and at Mrs. Michell's shop staid
+talking a great while with her and my Chaplain, Mr. Mumford, and drank a
+pot or two of ale on a wager that Mr. Prin is not of the Council.  Home
+and wrote to my Lord the news of the choice of the Council by the post,
+and so to bed.
+
+
+
+24th.  I rose very early, and taking horse at Scotland Yard, at Mr.
+Garthwayt's stable, I rode to Mr. Pierces, who rose, and in a quarter of
+an hour, leaving his wife in bed (with whom Mr. Lucy methought was very
+free as she lay in bed), we both mounted, and so set forth about seven of
+the clock, the day and the way very foul.  About Ware we overtook Mr.
+Blayton, brother-in-law to Dick Vines, who went thenceforwards with us,
+and at Puckeridge we baited, where we had a loin of mutton fried, and
+were very merry, but the way exceeding bad from Ware thither.  Then up
+again and as far as Foulmer, within six miles of Cambridge, my mare being
+almost tired: here we lay at the Chequer, playing at cards till supper,
+which was a breast of veal roasted.  I lay with Mr. Pierce, who we left
+here the next morning upon his going to Hinchingbroke to speak with my
+Lord before his going to London, and we two come to Cambridge by eight
+o'clock in the morning.
+
+
+
+25th.  To the Falcon, in the Petty Cury,
+
+     [The old Falcon Inn is on the south side of Petty Cury.  It is now
+     divided into three houses, one of which is the present Falcon Inn,
+     the other two being houses with shops.  The Falcon yard is but
+     little changed.  From the size of the whole building it must have
+     been the principal inn of the town.  The room said to have been used
+     by Queen Elizabeth for receptions retains its original form.-M. B.
+
+     The Petty Cury.  The derivation of the name of this street, so well
+     known to all Cambridge men, is a matter of much dispute among
+     antiquaries.  (See "Notes and Queries.") The most probable meaning
+     of it is the Parva Cokeria, or little cury, where the cooks of the
+     town lived, just as "The Poultry," where the Poulters (now
+     Poulterers) had their shops.  "The Forme of Cury," a Roll of Antient
+     English Cookery, was compiled by the principal cooks of that "best
+     and royalest viander of all Christian Kings," Richard the Second,
+     and edited with a copious Index and Glossary by Dr. Samuel Pegge,
+     1780.--M. B.]
+
+where we found my father and brother very well.  After dressing myself,
+about ten o'clock, my father, brother, and I to Mr. Widdririgton, at
+Christ's College, who received us very civilly, and caused my brother to
+be admitted, while my father, he, and I, sat talking.  After that done,
+we take leave.  My father and brother went to visit some friends,
+Pepys's, scholars in Cambridge, while I went to Magdalene College,
+to Mr. Hill, with whom I found Mr. Zanchy, Burton, and Hollins, and was
+exceeding civilly received by them.  I took leave on promise to sup with
+them, and to my Inn again, where I dined with some others that were there
+at an ordinary.  After dinner my brother to the College, and my father
+and I to my Cozen Angier's, to see them, where Mr. Fairbrother came to
+us.  Here we sat a while talking.  My father he went to look after his
+things at the carrier's, and my brother's chamber, while Mr. Fairbrother,
+my Cozen Angier, and Mr. Zanchy, whom I met at Mr. Merton's shop (where I
+bought 'Elenchus Motuum', having given my former to Mr. Downing when he
+was here), to the Three Tuns, where we drank pretty hard and many healths
+to the King, &c., till it began to be darkish: then we broke up and I and
+Mr. Zanchy went to Magdalene College, where a very handsome supper at Mr.
+Hill's chambers, I suppose upon a club among them, where in their
+discourse I could find that there was nothing at all left of the old
+preciseness in their discourse, specially on Saturday nights.  And Mr.
+Zanchy told me that there was no such thing now-a-days among them at any
+time.  After supper and some discourse then to my Inn, where I found my
+father in his chamber, and after some discourse, and he well satisfied
+with this day's work, we went to bed, my brother lying with me, his
+things not being come by the carrier that he could not lie in the
+College.
+
+
+
+26th (Sunday).  My brother went to the College to Chapel.  My father and
+I went out in the morning, and walked out in the fields behind King's
+College, and in King's College Chapel Yard, where we met with Mr.
+Fairbrother, who took us to Botolph's Church, where we heard Mr.
+Nicholas, of Queen's College, who I knew in my time to be Tripos,
+
+     [The Tripos or Bachelor of the Stool, who made the speech on Ash
+     Wednesday, when the senior Proctor called him up and exhorted him to
+     be witty but modest withal.  Their speeches, especially after the
+     Restoration, tended to be boisterous, and even scurrilous.
+     "26 Martii 1669.  Da Hollis, fellow of Clare Hall is to make a
+     publick Recantation in the Bac. Schools for his Tripos speeche."
+     The Tripos verses still come out, and are circulated on Ash
+     Wednesday.  The list of successful candidates for honours is printed
+     on the same paper, hence the term "Tripos" applied to it.]
+
+with great applause, upon this text, "For thy commandments are broad."
+Thence my father and I to Mr. Widdrington's chamber to dinner, where he
+used us very courteously again, and had two Fellow Commoners at table
+with him, and Mr. Pepper, a Fellow of the College.  After dinner, while
+we sat talking by the fire, Mr. Pierces man came to tell me that his
+master was come to town, so my father and I took leave, and found Mr.
+Pierce at our Inn, who told us that he had lost his journey, for my Lord
+was gone from Hinchingbroke to London on Thursday last, at which I was a
+little put to a stand.  So after a cup of drink I went to Magdalene
+College to get the certificate of the College for my brother's entrance
+there, that he might save his year.  I met with Mr. Burton in the Court,
+who took me to Mr. Pechell's chamber, where he was and Mr. Zanchy.  By
+and by, Mr. Pechell and Sanchy and I went out, Pechell to Church, Sanchy
+and I to the Rose Tavern, where we sat and drank till sermon done, and
+then Mr. Pechell came to us, and we three sat drinking the King's and his
+whole family's health till it began to be dark.  Then we parted; Sanchy
+and I went to my lodging, where we found my father and Mr. Pierce at the
+door, and I took them both and Mr. Blayton to the Rose Tavern, and there
+gave them a quart or two of wine, not telling them that we had been there
+before.  After this we broke up, and my father, Mr. Zanchy, and I to my
+Cosen Angier to supper, where I caused two bottles of wine to be carried
+from the Rose Tavern; that was drunk up, and I had not the wit to let
+them know at table that it was I that paid for them, and so I lost my
+thanks for them.  After supper Mr. Fairbrother, who supped there with us,
+took me into a room by himself, and shewed me a pitiful copy of verses
+upon Mr. Prinn which he esteemed very good, and desired that I would get
+them given to Mr. Prinn, in hopes that he would get him some place for
+it, which I said I would do, but did laugh in my sleeve to think of his
+folly, though indeed a man that has always expressed great civility to
+me.  After that we sat down and talked; I took leave of all my friends,
+and so to my Inn, where after I had wrote a note and enclosed the
+certificate to Mr. Widdrington, I bade good night to my father, and John
+went to bed, but I staid up a little while, playing the fool with the
+lass of the house at the door of the chamber, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+27th.  Up by four o'clock, and after I was ready, took my leave of my
+father, whom I left in bed, and the same of my brother John, to whom I
+gave 10s.  Mr. Blayton and I took horse and straight to Saffron Walden,
+where at the White Hart, we set up our horses, and took the master of the
+house to shew us Audley End House, who took us on foot through the park,
+and so to the house, where the housekeeper shewed us all the house, in
+which the stateliness of the ceilings, chimney-pieces, and form of the
+whole was exceedingly worth seeing.  He took us into the cellar, where we
+drank most admirable drink, a health to the King.  Here I played on my
+flageolette, there being an excellent echo.  He shewed us excellent
+pictures; two especially, those of the four Evangelists and Henry VIII.
+After that I gave the man 2s. for his trouble, and went back again.  In
+our going, my landlord carried us through a very old hospital or
+almshouse, where forty poor people was maintained; a very old foundation;
+and over the chimney in the mantelpiece was an inscription in brass:
+"Orate pre anima Thomae Bird," &c.; and the poor box also was on the same
+chimney-piece, with an iron door and locks to it, into which I put 6d.
+They brought me a draft of their drink in a brown bowl, tipt with silver,
+which I drank off, and at the bottom was a picture of the Virgin and the
+child in her arms, done in silver.  So we went to our Inn, and after
+eating of something, and kissed the daughter of the house, she being very
+pretty, we took leave, and so that night, the road pretty good, but the
+weather rainy to Ep[p]ing, where we sat and played a game at cards, and
+after supper, and some merry talk with a plain bold maid of the house, we
+went to bed.
+
+
+
+28th.  Up in the morning, and had some red herrings to our breakfast,
+while my boot-heel was a-mending, by the same token the boy left the hole
+as big as it was before.  Then to horse, and for London through the
+forest, where we found the way good, but only in one path, which we kept
+as if we had rode through a canal all the way.  We found the shops all
+shut, and the militia of the red regiment in arms at the Old Exchange,
+among whom I found and spoke to Nich. Osborne, who told me that it was a
+thanksgiving-day through the City for the return of the Parliament.  At
+Paul's I light, Mr. Blayton holding my horse, where I found Dr. Reynolds'
+in the pulpit, and General Monk there, who was to have a great
+entertainment at Grocers' Hall.  So home, where my wife and all well.
+Shifted myself,--[Changed his dress.]-- and so to Mr. Crew's, and then to
+Sir Harry Wright's, where I found my Lord at dinner, who called for me
+in, and was glad to see me.  There was at dinner also Mr. John Wright and
+his lady, a very pretty lady, Alderman Allen's daughter.  I dined here
+with Will. Howe, and after dinner went out with him to buy a hat (calling
+in my way and saw my mother), which we did at the Plough in Fleet Street
+by my Lord's direction, but not as for him.  Here we met with Mr. Pierce
+a little before, and he took us to the Greyhound Tavern, and gave us a
+pint of wine, and as the rest of the seamen do, talked very high again of
+my Lord.  After we had done about the hat we went homewards, he to Mr.
+Crew's and I to Mrs. Jem, and sat with her a little.  Then home, where I
+found Mr. Sheply, almost drunk, come to see me, afterwards Mr. Spong
+comes, with whom I went up and played with him a Duo or two, and so good
+night.  I was indeed a little vexed with Mr. Sheply, but said nothing,
+about his breaking open of my study at my house, merely to give him the
+key of the stair door at my Lord's, which lock he might better have broke
+than mine.
+
+
+
+29th.  To my office, and drank at Will's with Mr. Moore, who told me how
+my Lord is chosen General at Sea by the Council, and that it is thought
+that Monk will be joined with him therein.  Home and dined, after dinner
+my wife and I by water to London, and thence to Herring's, the merchant
+in Coleman Street, about L50 which he promises I shall have on Saturday
+next.  So to my mother's, and then to Mrs. Turner's, of whom I took
+leave, and her company, because she was to go out of town to-morrow with
+Mr. Pepys into Norfolk.  Here my cosen Norton gave me a brave cup of
+metheglin,
+
+     [A liquor made of honey and water, boiled and fermenting.  By 12
+     Charles II.  cap. 23, a grant of certain impositions upon beer, ale,
+     and other liquors, a duty of 1d.  per gallon was laid upon "all
+     metheglin or mead."]
+
+the first I ever drank.  To my mother's and supped there.
+
+She shewed me a letter to my father from my uncle inviting him to come to
+Brampton while he is in the country.  So home and to bed.  This day my
+Lord came to the House, the first time since he came to town; but he had
+been at the Council before.
