+
+March 1st.  In the morning went to my Lord's lodgings, thinking to have
+spoke with Mr. Sheply, having not been to visit him since my coming to
+town.  But he being not within I went up, and out of the box where my
+Lord's pamphlets lay, I chose as many as I had a mind to have for my own
+use and left the rest.  Then to my office, where little to do, abut Mr.
+Sheply comes to me, so at dinner time he and I went to Mr. Crew's, whither
+Mr. Thomas was newly come to town, being sent with Sir H. Yelverton, a my
+old school-fellow at Paul's School, to bring the thanks of the county to
+General Monk for the return of the Parliament.  But old Mr. Crew and my
+Lord not coming home to dinner, we tarried late before we went to dinner,
+it being the day that John, Mr. John Crew's coachman, was to be buried in
+the afternoon, he being a day or two before killed with a blow of one of
+his horses that struck his skull into his brain.  From thence Mr. Sheply
+and I went into London to Mr. Laxton's; my Lord's apothecary, and so by
+water to Westminster, where at the Sun [tavern] he and I spent two or
+three hours in a pint or two of wine, discoursing of matters in the
+country, among other things telling me that my uncle did to him make a
+very kind mention of me, and what he would do for me. Thence I went home,
+and went to bed betimes.  This day the Parliament did vote that they would
+not sit longer than the 15th day of this month.
+
+2d.  This morning I went early to my Lord at Mr. Crew's, where I spoke to
+him.  Here were a great many come to see him, as Secretary Thurlow who is
+now by this Parliament chosen again Secretary of State.  There were also
+General Monk's trumpeters to give my Lord a sound of their trumpets this
+morning.  Thence I went to my office, and wrote a letter to Mr. Downing
+about the business of his house.  Then going home, I met with Mr. Eglin,
+Chetwind, and Thomas, who took me to the Leg [another tavern] in King's
+street, where we had two brave dishes of meat, one of fish, a carp and
+some other fishes, as well done as ever I ate any.  After that to the Swan
+tavern, where we drank a quart or two of wine, and so parted.  So I to
+Mrs. Jem and took Mr. Moore with me (who I met in the street), and there I
+met W. Howe and Sheply.  After that to Westminster Hall, where I saw Sir
+G. Booth at liberty.  This day I hear the City militia is put into good
+posture, and it is thought that Monk will not be able to do any great
+matter against them now, if he have a mind.  I understand that my Lord
+Lambert did yesterday send a letter to the Council, and that to-night he
+is to come and appear to the Council in person.  Sir Arthur Haselrigge do
+not yet appear in the House.  Great is the talk of a single person, and
+that it would now be Charles, George, or Richard again.--[Charles II., or
+George Monk, or Richard Cromwell.]--For the last of which, my Lord St.
+John is said to speak high.  Great also is the dispute now in the House,
+in whose name the writs shall run for the next Parliament; and it is said
+that Mr. Prin, in open House, said, "In King Charles's."  From Westminster
+Hall home.  Spent the evening in my study, and so after some talk with my
+wife, then to bed.
+
+3d.  To Westminster Hall, where I found that my Lord was last night voted
+one of the Generals at Sea, and Monk the other.  I met my Lord in the
+Hall, who bid me come to him at noon.  I met with Mr. Pierce the purser,
+Lieut. Lambert, Mr. Creed, and Will. Howe, and went with them to the Swan
+tavern.  Up to my office, but did nothing.  At noon home to dinner to a
+sheep's head.  My brother Tom came and dined with me, and told me that my
+mother was not very well, and that my Aunt Fenner was very ill too. After
+dinner I to Warwick House, in Holborn, to my Lord, where he dined with my
+Lord of Manchester, Sir Dudley North, my Lord Fiennes, and my Lord Barkly.
+I staid in the great hall, talking with some gentlemen there, till they
+all come out.  Then I, by coach with my Lord, to Mr. Crew's, in our way
+talking of publick things, and how I should look after getting of his
+Commissioner's despatch.  He told me he feared there was new design
+hatching, as if Monk had a mind to get into the saddle.  Here I left him,
+and went by appointment to Hering, the merchant, but missed of my money,
+at which I was much troubled, but could not help myself. Returning, met
+Mr. Gifford, who took me and gave me half a pint of wine, and told me, as
+I hear this day from many, that things are in a very doubtful posture,
+some of the Parliament being willing to keep the power in their hands.
+After I had left him, I met with Tom Harper, who took me into a place in
+Drury Lane, where we drank a great deal of strong water, more than ever I
+did in my life at onetime before.  He talked huge high that my Lord
+Protector would come in place again, which indeed is much discoursed of
+again, though I do not see it possible.  Hence home and wrote to my father
+at Brampton by the post.  So to bed.  This day I was told that my Lord
+General Fleetwood told my lord that he feared the King of Sweden is dead
+of a fever at Gottenburg.
+
+4th.  Lord's day.  Before I went to church I sang Orpheus' Hymn  to my
+viall.  After that to Mr. Gunning's, an excellent sermon upon charity.
+Then to my mother to dinner, where my wife and the maid were come.  After
+dinner we three to Mr. Messum's where we met Mons. L'Impertinent, who got
+us a seat and told me a ridiculous story how that last week he had caused
+a simple citizen to spend; L80 in entertainments of him and some friends
+of his upon pretence of some service that he would do him in his suit
+after a widow.  Then to my mother again, and after supper she and I talked
+very high about religion, I in defence of the religion I was born in.
+Then home.
+
+5th.  Early in the morning Mr. Hill comes to string my theorbo,
+
+     [The theorbo was a bass lute.  Having gut strings it was played with
+     the fingers.  There is a humorous comparison of the long waists of
+     ladies, which came into fashion about 1621, with the theorbo, by
+     Bishop Corbet:
+
+         "She was barr'd up in whale-bones, that did leese
+          None of the whale's length, for they reached her knees;
+          Off with her head, and then she hath a middle
+          As her waste stands, just like the new found fiddle,
+          The favourite Theorbo, truth to tell ye,
+          Whose neck and throat are deeper than the belly."
+
+                                   Corbet, 'Iter Boreale'.]
+
+which we were about till past ten o'clock, with a great deal of pleasure.
+Then to Westminster, where I met with Mr. Sheply and Mr. Pinkney at
+Will's, who took me by water to Billingsgate, at the Salutation Tavern,
+whither by-and-by, Mr. Talbot and Adams came, and bring a great [deal of]
+good meat, a ham of bacon, &c.  Here we staid and drank till Mr. Adams
+began to be overcome.  Then we parted, and so to Westminster by water,
+only seeing Mr. Pinkney at his own house, where he shewed me how he had
+alway kept the Lion and Unicorn, in the back of his chimney, bright, in
+expectation of the King's coming again.  At home I found Mr. Hunt, who
+told me how the Parliament had voted that the Covenant be printed and
+hung in churches again.  Great hopes of the King's coming again.  To bed.
+
+6th.  (Shrove Tuesday.) I called Mr. Sheply and we both went up to my
+Lord's lodgings at Mr. Crew's, where he bade us to go home again, and get
+a fire against an hour after.  Which we did at White Hall, whither he
+came, and after talking with him and me about his going to sea, he called
+me by myself to go along with him into the garden, where he asked me how
+things were with me, and what he had endeavoured to do with my uncle to
+get him to do something for me but he would say nothing too.  He likewise
+bade me look out now at this turn some good place, and he would use all
+his own, and all the interest of his friends that he had in England, to do
+me good.  And asked me whether I could, without too much inconvenience, go
+to sea as his secretary, and bid me think of it.  He also began to talk of
+things of State, and told me that he should want one in that capacity at
+sea, that he might trust in, and therefore he would have me to go.  He
+told me also, that he did believe the King would come in, and did
+discourse with me about it, and about the affection of the people and
+City, at which I was full glad.  After he was gone, I waiting upon him
+through the garden till he came to the Hall, where I left him and went up
+to my office, where Mr. Hawly brought one to me, a seaman, that had
+promised Rio to him if he get him a purser's place, which I think to
+endeavour to do.  Here comes my uncle Tom, whom I took to Will's and drank
+with, poor man, he comes to inquire about the knights of Windsor, of which
+he desires to get to be one.
+
+     [The body of Poor Knights of Windsor was founded by Edward III.  The
+     intention of the king with regard to the poor knights was to provide
+     relief and comfortable subsistence for such valiant soldiers as
+     happened in their old age to fall into poverty and decay.  On
+     September 20th, 1659, a Report having been read respecting the Poor
+     Knights of Windsor, the House "ordered that it be referred to a
+     Committee, to look into the revenue for maintenance of the Poor
+     Knights of Windsor," &c.  (See Tighe and Davis's "Annals of
+     Windsor.")]
+
+While we were drinking, in comes Mr. Day, a carpenter in Westminster, to
+tell me that it was Shrove Tuesday, and that I must go with him to their
+yearly Club upon this day, which I confess I had quite forgot.  So I went
+to the Bell, where were Mr. Eglin, Veezy, Vincent a butcher, one more, and
+Mr. Tanner, with whom I played upon a viall, and he a viallin, after
+dinner, and were very merry, with a special good dinner, a leg of veal and
+bacon, two capons and sausages and fritters, with abundance of wine. After
+that I went home, where I found Kate Sterpin who hath not been here a
+great while before.  She gone I went to see Mrs. Jem, at whose chamber
+door I found a couple of ladies, but she not being there, we hunted her
+out, and found that she and another had hid themselves behind a door.
+Well, they all went down into the dining-room, where it was full of tag,
+rag, and bobtail, dancing, singing, and drinking, of which I was ashamed,
+and after I had staid a dance or two I went away.  Going home, called at
+my Lord's for Mr. Sheply, but found him at the Lion with a pewterer, that
+he had bought pewter to-day of.  With them I drank, and so home and wrote
+by the post, by my Lord's command, for J. Goods to come up presently. For
+my Lord intends to go forthwith into the Swiftsure till the Nazeby be
+ready.  This day I hear that the Lords do intend to sit, and great store
+of them are now in town, and I see in the Hall to-day.  Overton at Hull do
+stand out, but can, it is thought, do nothing; and Lawson, it is said, is
+gone with some ships thither, but all that is nothing.  My Lord told me,
+that there was great endeavours to bring in the Protector again; but he
+told me, too, that he did believe it would not last long if he were
+brought in; no, nor the King neither (though he seems to think that he
+will come in), unless he carry himself very soberly and well.  Every body
+now drinks the King's health without any fear, whereas before it was very
+private that a man dare do it.  Monk this day is feasted at Mercers' Hall,
+and is invited one after another to all the twelve Halls in London! Many
+think that he is honest yet, and some or more think him to be a fool that
+would raise himself, but think that he will undo himself by endeavouring
+it.  My mind, I must needs remember, has been very much eased and joyed at
+my Lord's great expressions of kindness this day, and in discourse
+thereupon my wife and I lay awake an hour or two in our bed.
+
+7th.  (Ash Wednesday.) In the morning I went to my Lord at Mr. Crew's, in
+my way Washington overtook me and told me upon my question whether he knew
+of any place now void that I might have, by power over friends, that this
+day Mr. G. Montagu was to be made 'Custos Rotulorum' for Westminster, and
+that by friends I might get to be named by him Clerk of the Peace, with
+which I was, as I am at all new things, very much joyed, so when I came to
+Mr. Crew's, I spoke to my Lord about it, who told me he believed Mr.
+Montagu had already promised it, and that it was given him only that he
+might gratify one person with the place I look for.  Here, among many that
+were here, I met with Mr. Lynes, the surgeon, who promised me some seeds
+of the sensitive plant.
+
+     [Evelyn, about the same date (August 9th, 1661), "tried several
+     experiments on the sensitive plant and humilis, which contracted
+     with the least touch of the sun through a burning glass, though it
+     rises and opens only when it shines on it"]
+
+I spoke too with Mr. Pierce the surgeon, who gave me great encouragement
+to go to sea with my Lord.  Thence going homewards, my Lord overtook me in
+his coach, and called me in, and so I went with him to St. James's, and G.
+Montagu being gone to White Hall, we walked over the Park thither, all the
+way he discoursing of the times, and of the change of things since the
+last year, and wondering how he could bear with so great disappointment as
+he did.  He did give me the best advice that he could what was best for
+me, whether to stay or go with him, and offered all the ways that could
+be, how he might do me good, with the greatest liberty and love that could
+be.  I left him at Whitehall, and myself went to Westminster to my office,
+whither nothing to do, but I did discourse with Mr. Falconbridge about Le
+Squire's place, and had his consent to get it if I could.  I afterwards in
+the Hall met with W. Simons, who put me in the best way how to get it
+done.  Thence by appointment to the Angel in King Street, where Chetwind,
+Mr. Thomas and Doling were at oysters, and beginning Lent this day with a
+fish dinner.  After dinner Mr. Thomas and I by water to London, where I
+went to Herring's and received the L50 of my Lord's upon Frank's bill from
+Worcester.  I gave in the bill and set my hand to his bill.  Thence I went
+to the Pope's Head Alley and called on Adam Chard, and bought a catcall
+there, it cost me two groats.  Thence went and gave him a cup of ale.
+After that to the Sun behind the Exchange,  where meeting my uncle Wight
+by the way, took him with me thither, and after drinking a health or two
+round at the Cock (Mr. Thomas being gone thither), we parted, he and I
+homewards, parted at Fleet Street, where I found my father newly come home
+from Brampton very well. He left my uncle with his leg very dangerous, and
+do believe he cannot continue in that condition long.  He tells me that my
+uncle did acquaint him very largely what he did intend to do with his
+estate, to make me his heir and give my brother Tom something, and that my
+father and mother should have likewise something, to raise portions for
+John and Pall.  I pray God he may be as good as his word.  Here I staid
+and supped and so home, there being Joyce Norton there and Ch. Glascock.
+Going home I called at Wotton's and took home a piece of cheese.  At home
+Mr. Sheply sat with me a little while, and so we all to bed.  This news
+and my Lord's great kindness makes me very cheerful within.  I pray God
+make me thankful.  This day, according to order, Sir Arthur [Haselrigge]
+appeared at the House; what was done I know not, but there was all the
+Rumpers almost come to the House to-day.  My Lord did seem to wonder much
+why Lambert was so willing to be put into the Tower, and thinks he has
+some design in it; but I think that he is so poor that he cannot use his
+liberty for debts, if he were at liberty; and so it is as good and better
+for him to be there, than any where else.
+
+8th.  To Whitehall to bespeak some firing for my father at Short's, and
+likewise to speak to Mr. Blackburne about Batters being gunner in the
+"Wexford."  Then to Westminster Hall, where there was a general damp over
+men's minds and faces upon some of the Officers of the Army being about
+making a remonstrance against Charles Stuart or any single person; but at
+noon it was told, that the General had put a stop to it, so all was well
+again.  Here I met with Jasper, who was to look for me to bring me to my
+Lord at the lobby; whither sending a note to my Lord, he comes out to me
+and gives me direction to look after getting some money for him from the
+Admiralty, seeing that things are so unsafe, that he would not lay out a
+farthing for the State, till he had received some money of theirs.  Home
+about two o'clock, and took my wife by land to Paternoster Row, to buy
+some Paragon for a petticoat and so home again.  In my way meeting Mr.
+Moore, who went home with me while I ate a bit and so back to Whitehall
+again, both of us.  He waited at the Council for Mr. Crew.  I to the
+Admiralty, where I got the order for the money, and have taken care for
+the getting of it assigned upon Mr. Hutchinson, Treasurer for the Navy,
+against tomorrow.  Hence going home I met with Mr. King that belonged to
+the Treasurers at War and took him to Harper's, who told me that he and
+the rest of his fellows are cast out of office by the new Treasurers. This
+afternoon, some of the Officers of the Army, and some of the Parliament,
+had a conference at White Hall to make all right again, but I know not
+what is done.  This noon I met at the Dog tavern Captain Philip Holland,
+with whom I advised how to make some advantage of my Lord's going to sea,
+which he told me might be by having of five or six servants entered on
+board, and I to give them what wages I pleased, and so their pay to be
+mine; he was also very urgent to have me take the Secretary's place, that
+my Lord did proffer me.  At the same time in comes Mr. Wade and Mr.
+Sterry, secretary to the plenipotentiary in Denmark, who brought the news
+of the death of the King of Sweden at Gottenburgh the 3rd of the last
+month, and he told me what a great change he found when he came here, the
+secluded members being restored.  He also spoke very freely of Mr. Wades
+profit, which he made while he was in Zeeland, how he did believe that he
+cheated Mr. Powell, and that he made above L500 on the voyage, which Mr.
+Wade did very angrily deny, though I believe he was guilty enough.
+
+9th.  To my Lord at his lodging, and came to Westminster with him in the
+coach, with Mr. Dudley with him, and he in the Painted Chamber
+
+     [The Painted Chamber, or St. Edward's Chamber, in the old Palace at
+     Westminster.  The first name was given to it from the curious
+     paintings on the walls, and the second from the tradition that
+     Edward the Confessor died in it.]
+
+walked a good while; and I telling him that I was willing and ready to go
+with him to sea, he agreed that I should, and advised me what to write to
+Mr. Downing about it, which I did at my office, that by my Lord's desire I
+offered that my place might for a while be supplied by Mr. Moore, and that
+I and my security should be bound by the same bond for him.  I went and
+dined at Mr. Crew's, where Mr. Hawly comes to me, and I told him the
+business and shewed him the letter promising him L20 a year, which he
+liked very well of.  I did the same to Mr. Moore, which he also took for a
+courtesy.  In the afternoon by coach, taking Mr. Butler with me to the
+Navy Office, about the L500 for my Lord, which I am promised to have
+to-morrow morning.  Then by coach back again, and at White Hall at the
+Council Chamber spoke with my Lord and got him to sign the acquittance for
+the L500, and he also told me that he had spoke to Mr. Blackburne to put
+off Mr. Creed and that I should come to him for direction in the
+employment.  After this Mr. Butler and I to Harper's, where we sat and
+drank for two hours till ten at night; the old woman she was drunk and
+began to talk foolishly in commendation of her son James.  Home and to
+bed.  All night troubled in my thoughts how to order my business upon this
+great change with me that I could not sleep, and being overheated with
+drink I made a promise the next morning to drink no strong drink this
+week, for I find that it makes me sweat and puts me quite out of order.
+This day it was resolved that the writs do go out in the name of the
+Keepers of the Liberty, and I hear that it is resolved privately that a
+treaty be offered with the King.  And that Monk did check his soldiers
+highly for what they did yesterday.
+
+10th.  In the morning went to my father's, whom I took in his cutting
+house,--[His father was a tailor, and this was his cutting-out room.]--and
+there I told him my resolution to go to sea with my Lord, and consulted
+with him how to dispose of my wife, and we resolved of letting her be at
+Mr. Bowyer's.  Thence to the Treasurer of the Navy, where I received L500
+for my Lord, and having left L200 of it with Mr. Rawlinson at his house
+for Sheply, I went with the rest to the Sun tavern on Fish Street Hill,
+where Mr. Hill, Stevens and Mr. Hater of the Navy Office had invited me,
+where we had good discourse and a fine breakfast of Mr. Hater.  Then by
+coach home, where I took occasion to tell my wife of my going to sea, who
+was much troubled at it, and was with some dispute at last willing to
+continue at Mr. Bowyer's in my absence.  After this to see Mrs. Jem and
+paid her maid L7, and then to Mr. Blackburne, who told me what Mr. Creed
+did say upon the news of my coming into his place, and that he did propose
+to my Lord that there should be two Secretaries, which made me go to Sir
+H. Wright's where my Lord dined and spoke with him about it, but he seemed
+not to agree to the motion.  Hither W. Howe comes to me and so to
+Westminster.  In the way he told me, what I was to provide and so forth
+against my going.  He went with me to my office, whither also Mr. Madge
+comes half foxed and played the fool upon the violin that made me weary.
+Then to Whitehall and so home and set many of my things in order against
+my going.  My wife was late making of caps for me, and the wench making an
+end of a pair of stockings that she was knitting of.  So to bed.
+
+11th.  (Sunday.) All the day busy without my band on, putting up my books
+and things, in order to my going to sea.  At night my wife and I went to
+my father's to supper, where J. Norton and Chas. Glascocke supt with us,
+and after supper home, where the wench had provided all things against
+tomorrow to wash, and so to bed, where I much troubled with my cold and
+coughing.
+
+12th.  This day the wench rose at two in the morning to wash, and my wife
+and I lay talking a great while.  I by reason of my cold could not tell
+how to sleep.  My wife and I to the Exchange, where we bought a great many
+things, where I left her and went into London, and at Bedells the
+bookseller's at the Temple gate I paid L12 10s. 6d. for Mr. Fuller by his
+direction.  So came back and at Wilkinson's found Mr. Sheply and some sea
+people, as the cook of the Nazeby and others, at dinner.  Then to the
+White Horse in King Street, where I got Mr. Buddle's horse to ride to
+Huntsmore to Mr. Bowyer's, where I found him and all well, and willing to
+have my wife come and board with them while I was at sea, which was the
+business I went about.  Here I lay and took a thing for my cold, namely a
+spoonful of honey and a nutmeg scraped into it, by Mr. Bowyer's direction,
+and so took it into my mouth, which I found did do me much good.
+
+13th.  It rained hard and I got up early, and got to London by 8 o'clock
+at my Lord's lodgings, who told me that I was to be secretary, and Creed
+to be deputy treasurer to the Fleet, at which I was troubled, but I could
+not help it.  After that to my father's to look after things, and so at my
+shoemaker's and others.  At night to Whitehall, where I met with Simons
+and Luellin at drink with them at Roberts at Whitehall.  Then to the
+Admiralty, where I talked with Mr. Creed till the Brothers, and they were
+very seemingly willing and glad that I have the place since my Lord would
+dispose of it otherwise than to them.  Home and to bed.  This day the
+Parliament voted all that had been done by the former Rump against the
+House of Lords be void, and to-night that the writs go out without any
+qualification.  Things seem very doubtful what will be the end of all; for
+the Parliament seems to be strong for the King, while the soldiers do all
+talk against.
+
+14th.  To my Lord, where infinity of applications to him and to me.  To my
+great trouble, my Lord gives me all the papers that was given to him, to
+put in order and give him an account of them.  Here I got half-a-piece of
+a person of Mr. Wright's recommending to my Lord to be Preacher of the
+Speaker frigate.  I went hence to St. James's and Mr. Pierce the surgeon
+with me, to speak with Mr. Clerke,  Monk's secretary, about getting some
+soldiers removed out of Huntingdon to Oundle, which my Lord told me he did
+to do a courtesy to the town, that he might have the greater interest in
+them, in the choice of the next Parliament; not that he intends to be
+chosen himself, but that he might have Mr. G. Montagu and my Lord
+Mandeville chose there in spite of the Bernards.  This done (where I saw
+General Monk and methought he seemed a dull heavy man), he and I to
+Whitehall, where with Luellin we dined at Marsh's.  Coming home telling my
+wife what we had to dinner, she had a mind to some cabbage, and I sent for
+some and she had it.  Went to the Admiralty, where a strange thing how I
+am already courted by the people.  This morning among others that came to
+me I hired a boy of Jenkins of Westminster and Burr to be my clerk.  This
+night I went to Mr. Creed's chamber where he gave me the former book of
+the proceedings in the fleet and the Seal.  Then to Harper's where old
+Beard was and I took him by coach to my Lord's, but he was not at home,
+but afterwards I found him out at Sir H. Wright's. Thence by coach, it
+raining hard, to Mrs. Jem, where I staid a while, and so home, and late in
+the night put up my things in a sea-chest that Mr. Sheply lent me, and so
+to bed.
+
+15th.  Early packing up my things to be sent by cart with the rest of my
+Lord's.  So to Will's, where I took leave of some of my friends.  Here I
+met Tom Alcock, one that went to school with me at Huntingdon, but I had
+not seen him these sixteen years.  So in the Hall paid and made even with
+Mrs. Michell; afterwards met with old Beale, and at the Axe paid him this
+quarter to Ladyday next.  In the afternoon Dick Mathews comes to dine, and
+I went and drank with him at Harper's.  So into London by water, and in
+Fish Street my wife and I bought a bit of salmon for 8d. and went to the
+Sun Tavern and ate it, where I did promise to give her all that I have in
+the world but my books, in case I should die at sea.  From thence
+homewards; in the way my wife bought linen for three smocks and other
+things.  I went to my Lord's and spoke with him.  So home with Mrs. Jem by
+coach and then home to my own house.  From thence to the Fox in
+King-street to supper on a brave turkey of Mr. Hawly's, with some friends
+of his there, Will Bowyer, &c.  After supper I went to Westminster Hall,
+and the Parliament sat till ten at night, thinking and being expected to
+dissolve themselves to-day, but they did not.  Great talk to-night that
+the discontented officers did think this night to make a stir, but
+prevented.  To the Fox again.  Home with my wife, and to bed extraordinary
+sleepy.
+
+16th.  No sooner out of bed but troubled with abundance of clients,
+seamen.  My landlord Vanly's man came to me by my direction yesterday, for
+I was there at his house as I was going to London by water, and I paid him
+rent for my house for this quarter ending at Lady day, and took an
+acquittance that he wrote me from his master.  Then to Mr. Sheply, to the
+Rhenish Tavern House, where Mr. Pim, the tailor, was, and gave us a
+morning draft and a neat's tongue.  Home and with my wife to London, we
+dined at my father's, where Joyce Norton and Mr. Armiger dined also. After
+dinner my wife took leave of them in order to her going to-morrow to
+Huntsmore.  In my way home I went to the Chapel in Chancery Lane to
+bespeak papers of all sorts and other things belonging to writing against
+my voyage.  So home, where I spent an hour or two about my business in my
+study.  Thence to the Admiralty, and staid a while, so home again, where
+Will Bowyer came to tell us that he would bear my wife company in the
+coach to-morrow.  Then to Westminster Hall, where I heard how the
+Parliament had this day dissolved themselves, and did pass very cheerfully
+through the Hall, and the Speaker without his mace.  The whole Hall was
+joyful thereat, as well as themselves, and now they begin to talk loud of
+the King.  To-night I am told, that yesterday, about five o'clock in the
+afternoon, one came with a ladder to the Great Exchange, and wiped with a
+brush the inscription that was upon King Charles, and that there was a
+great bonfire made in the Exchange, and people called out "God bless.
+King Charles the Second!"
+
+     ["Then the writing in golden letters, that was engraven under the
+     statue of Charles I, in the Royal Exchange ('Exit tyrannus, Regum
+     ultimus, anno libertatis Angliae, anno Domini 1648, Januarie xxx.)
+     was washed out by a painter, who in the day time raised a ladder,
+     and with a pot and brush washed the writing quite out, threw down
+     his pot and brush and said it should never do him any more service,
+     in regard that it had the honour to put out rebels' hand-writing.
+     He then came down, took away his ladder, not a misword said to him,
+     and by whose order it was done was not then known.  The merchants
+     were glad and joyful, many people were gathered together, and
+     against the Exchange made a bonfire. "Rugge's Diurnal."  In the
+     Thomason Collection of Civil War Tracts at the British Museum is a
+     pamphlet which is dated in MS. March 21st, 1659-60, where this act
+     is said to be by order of Monk: "The Loyal Subjects Teares for the
+     Sufferings and Absence of their Sovereign Charles II., King of
+     England, Scotland, and Ireland; with an Observation upon the
+     expunging of 'Exit Tyrannus, Regum ultimus', by order of General
+     Monk, and some Advice to the Independents, Anabaptists, Phanatiques,
+     &c.  London, 1660."]
+
+From the Hall I went home to bed, very sad in mind to part with my wife,
+but God's will be done.
+
+17th.  This morning bade adieu in bed to the company of my wife.  We rose
+and I gave my wife some money to serve her for a time, and what papers of
+consequence I had.  Then I left her to get her ready and went to my Lord's
+with my boy Eliezer to my Lord's lodging at Mr. Crew's.  Here I had much
+business with my Lord, and papers, great store, given me by my Lord to
+dispose of as of the rest.  After that, with Mr. Moore home to my house
+and took my wife by coach to the Chequer in Holborn, where, after we had
+drank, &c., she took coach and so farewell.  I staid behind with Tom
+Alcock and Mr. Anderson, my old chamber fellow at Cambridge his brother,
+and drank with them there, who were come to me thither about one that
+would have a place at sea.  Thence with Mr. Hawly to dinner at Mr. Crew's.
+After dinner to my own house, where all things were put up into the
+dining-room and locked up, and my wife took the keys along with her.
+
+This day, in the presence of Mr. Moore (who made it) and Mr. Hawly, I did
+before I went out with my wife, seal my will to her, whereby I did give
+her all that I have in the world, but my books which I give to my brother
+John, excepting only French books, which my wife is to have.  In the
+evening at the Admiralty, I met my Lord there and got a commission for
+Williamson to be captain of the Harp frigate, and afterwards went by coach
+taking Mr. Crips with me to my Lord and got him to sign it at table as he
+was at supper.  And so to Westminster back again with him with me, who had
+a great desire to go to sea and my Lord told me that he would do him any
+favour.  So I went home with him to his mother's house by me in Axe Yard,
+where I found Dr. Clodius's wife and sat there talking and hearing of old
+Mrs. Crisp playing of her old lessons upon the harpsichon till it was time
+to go to bed.  After that to bed, and Laud, her son lay with me in the
+best chamber in her house, which indeed was finely furnished.
+
+18th.  I rose early and went to the barber's (Jervas) in Palace Yard and I
+was trimmed by him, and afterwards drank with him a cup or two of ale, and
+did begin to hire his man to go with me to sea.  Then to my Lord's lodging
+where I found Captain Williamson and gave him his commission to be Captain
+of the Harp, and he gave me a piece of gold and 20s. in silver.  So to my
+own house, where I staid a while and then to dinner with Mr. Shepley at my
+Lord's lodgings.  After that to Mr. Mossum's, where he made a very gallant
+sermon upon "Pray for the life of the King and the King's son."  (Ezra vi.
+10.) From thence to Mr. Crew's, but my Lord not being within I did not
+stay, but went away and met with Mr. Woodfine, who took me to an alehouse
+in Drury Lane, and we sat and drank together, and ate toasted cakes which
+were very good, and we had a great deal of mirth with the mistress of the
+house about them.  From thence homewards, and called at Mr. Blagrave's,
+where I took up my note that he had of mine for 40s., which he two years
+ago did give me as a pawn while he had my lute.  So that all things are
+even between him and I.  So to Mrs. Crisp, where she and her daughter and
+son and I sat talking till ten o'clock at night, I giving them the best
+advice that I could concerning their son, how he should go to sea, and so
+to bed.
+
+19th.  Early to my Lord, where infinity of business to do, which makes my
+head full; and indeed, for these two or three days, I have not been
+without a great many cares and thoughts concerning them.  After that to
+the Admiralty, where a good while with Mr. Blackburne, who told me that it
+was much to be feared that the King would come in, for all good men and
+good things were now discouraged.  Thence to Wilkinson's, where Mr. Sheply
+and I dined; and while we were at dinner, my Lord Monk's lifeguard come by
+with the Serjeant at Arms before them, with two Proclamations, that all
+Cavaliers do depart the town; but the other that all officers that were
+lately disbanded should do the same.  The last of which Mr. R. Creed, I
+remember, said, that he looked upon it as if they had said, that all God's
+people should depart the town.  Thence with some sea officers to the Swan,
+where we drank wine till one comes to me to pay me some money from
+Worcester, viz., L25.  His name is Wilday.  I sat in another room and took
+my money and drank with him till the rest of my company were gone and so
+we parted.  Going home the water was high, and so I got Crockford to carry
+me over it.  So home, and left my money there.  All the discourse
+now-a-day is, that the King will come again; and for all I see, it is the
+wishes of all; and all do believe that it will be so.  My mind is still
+much troubled for my poor wife, but I hope that this undertaking will be
+worth my pains.  To Whitehall and staid about business at the Admiralty
+late, then to Tony Robins's, where Capt. Stokes, Mr. Luddington and others
+were, and I did solicit the Captain for Laud Crisp, who gave me a promise
+that he would entertain him.  After that to Mrs. Crisp's where Dr. Clodius
+and his wife were.  He very merry with drink.  We played at cards late and
+so to bed. This day my Lord dined at my Lord Mayor's [Allen], and Jasper
+was made drunk, which my Lord was very angry at.
+
+20th. This morning I rose early and went to my house to put things in a
+little order against my going, which I conceive will be to-morrow (the
+weather still very rainy).  After that to my Lord, where I found very
+great deal of business, he giving me all letters and papers that come to
+him about business, for me to give him account of when we come on
+shipboard.  Hence with Capt. Isham by coach to Whitehall to the Admiralty.
+He and I and Chetwind, Doling and Luellin dined together at Marsh's at
+Whitehall.  So to the Bull Head whither W. Simons comes to us and I gave
+them my foy
+
+     [Foy. A feast given by one who is about to leave a place.  In Kent,
+     according to Grose, a treat to friends, either at going abroad or
+     coming home.  See Diary, November 25th, 1661.]
+
+against my going to sea; and so we took leave one of another, they
+promising me to write to me to sea.  Hither comes Pim's boy, by my
+direction, with two monteeres--[Monteeres, montero (Spanish), a kind of
+huntsman's cap.]--for me to take my choice of, and I chose the saddest
+colour and left the other for Mr. Sheply.  Hence by coach to London, and
+took a short melancholy leave of my father and mother, without having them
+to drink, or say anything of business one to another.  And indeed I had a
+fear upon me I should scarce ever see my mother again, she having a great
+cold then upon her.  Then to Westminster, where by reason of rain and an
+easterly wind, the water was so high that there was boats rowed in King
+Street and all our yard was drowned, that one could not go to my house, so
+as no man has seen the like almost, most houses full of water.
+
+     ["In this month the wind was very high, and caused great tides, so
+     that great hurt was done to the inhabitants of Westminster, King
+     Street being quite drowned.  The Maidenhead boat was cast away, and
+     twelve persons with her.  Also, about Dover the waters brake in upon
+     the mainland; and in Kent was very much damage done; so that report
+     said, there was L20,000 worth of harm done."--Rugge's Diurnal.--B.]
+
+Then back by coach to my Lord's; where I met Mr. Sheply, who staid with me
+waiting for my Lord's coming in till very late.  Then he and I, and
+William Howe went with our swords to bring my Lord home from Sir H.
+Wright's.  He resolved to go to-morrow if the wind ceased.  Sheply and I
+home by coach.  I to Mrs. Crisp's, who had sat over a good supper long
+looking for me.  So we sat talking and laughing till it was very late, and
+so Laud and I to bed.
+
+21st.  To my Lord's, but the wind very high against us, and the weather
+bad we could not go to-day; here I did very much business, and then to my
+Lord Widdrington's from my Lord, with his desire that he might have the
+disposal of the writs of the Cinque Ports.  My Lord was very civil to me,
+and called for wine, and writ a long letter in answer.  Thence I went to a
+tavern over against Mr. Pierce's with judge Advocate Fowler and Mr. Burr,
+and sat and drank with them two or three pints of wine.  After that to Mr.
+Crew's again and gave my Lord an account of what I had done, and so about
+my business to take leave of my father and mother, which by a mistake I
+have put down yesterday.  Thence to Westminster to Crisp's, where we were
+very merry; the old woman sent for a supper for me, and gave me a
+handkercher with strawberry buttons on it, and so to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up very early and set things in order at my house, and so took
+leave of Mrs. Crispe and her daughter (who was in bed) and of Mrs. Hunt.
+Then to my Lord's lodging at the gate and did so there, where Mr. Hawly
+came to me and I gave him the key of my house to keep, and he went with me
+to Mr. Crew's, and there I took my last leave of him.  But the weather
+continuing very bad my Lord would not go to-day.  My Lord spent this
+morning private in sealing of his last will and testament with Mr. W.
+Mountagu.  After that I went forth about my own business to buy a pair of
+riding grey serge stockings and sword and belt and hose, and after that
+took Wotton and Brigden to the Pope's Head Tavern in Chancery Lane, where
+Gilb. Holland and Shelston were, and we dined and drank a great deal of
+wine, and they paid all.  Strange how these people do now promise me
+anything; one a rapier, the other a vessel of wine or a gun, and one
+offered me his silver hatband to do him a courtesy.  I pray God to keep me
+from being proud or too much lifted up hereby.  After that to Westminster,
+and took leave of Kate Sterpin who was very sorry to part with me, and
+after that of Mr. George Mountagu, and received my warrant of Mr.
+Blackburne, to be Secretary to the two Generals of the Fleet. Then to take
+my leave of the Clerks of the Council, and thence Doling and Luellin would
+have me go with them to Mount's chamber, where we sat and talked and then
+I went away.  So to my Lord (in my way meeting Chetwind and Swan and bade
+them farewell) where I lay all night with Mr. Andrews. This day Mr. Sheply
+went away on board and I sent my boy with him.  This day also Mrs. Jemimah
+went to Marrowbone, so I could not see her.  Mr. Moore being out of town
+to-night I could not take leave of him nor speak to him about business
+which troubled me much.  I left my small case therefore with Mr. Andrews
+for him.
+
+23rd.  Up early, carried my Lord's will in a black box to Mr. William
+Montagu for him to keep for him.  Then to the barber's and put on my
+cravat there.  So to my Lord again, who was almost ready to be gone and
+had staid for me.  Hither came Gilb. Holland, and brought me a stick
+rapier and Shelston a sugar-loaf, and had brought his wife who he said was
+a very pretty woman to the Ship tavern hard by for me to see but I could
+not go.  Young Reeve also brought me a little perspective glass which I
+bought for my Lord, it cost me 8s.  So after that my Lord in Sir H.
+Wright's coach with Captain Isham, Mr. Thomas, John Crew, W. Howe, and I
+in a Hackney to the Tower, where the barges staid for us; my Lord and the
+Captain in one, and W. Howe and I, &c., in the other, to the Long Reach,
+where the Swiftsure lay at anchor; (in our way we saw the great breach
+which the late high water had made, to the loss of many L1000 to the
+people about Limehouse.)  Soon as my Lord on board, the guns went off
+bravely from the ships.  And a little while after comes the Vice-Admiral
+Lawson, and seemed very respectful to my Lord, and so did the rest of the
+Commanders of the frigates that were thereabouts.  I to the cabin allotted
+for me, which was the best that any had that belonged to my Lord.  I got
+out some things out of my chest for writing and to work presently, Mr,
+Burr and I both.  I supped at the deck table with Mr. Sheply.  We were
+late writing of orders for the getting of ships ready, &c.; and also
+making of others to all the seaports between Hastings and Yarmouth, to
+stop all dangerous persons that are going or coming between Flanders and
+there.  After that to bed in my cabin, which was but short; however I made
+shift with it and slept very well, and the weather being good I was not
+sick at all yet, I know not what I shall be.
+
+24th.  At work hard all the day writing letters to the Council, &c.  This
+day Mr. Creed came on: board and dined very boldly with my Lord, but he
+could not get a bed there.  At night Capt.  Isham who had been at
+Gravesend all last night and to-day came and brought Mr. Lucy (one
+acquainted with Mrs. Pierce, with whom I had been at her house), I drank
+with him in the Captain's cabin, but my business could not stay with him.
+I despatch many letters to-day abroad and it was late before we could get
+to bed.  Mr. Sheply and Howe supped with me in my cabin.  The boy Eliezer
+flung down a can of beer upon my papers which made me give him a box of
+the ear, it having all spoiled my papers and cost me a great deal of work.
+So to bed.
+
+25th.  (Lord's day).  About two o'clock in the morning, letters came from
+London by our coxon, so they waked me, but I would not rise but bid him
+stay till morning, which he did, and then I rose and carried them in to my
+Lord, who read them a-bed.  Among the rest, there was the writ and mandate
+for him to dispose to the Cinque Ports for choice of Parliament-men.
+There was also one for me from Mr. Blackburne, who with his own hand
+superscribes it to S.P. Esq., of which God knows I was not a little proud.
+After that I wrote a letter to the Clerk of Dover Castle, to come to my
+Lord about issuing of those writs.  About ten o'clock Mr. Ibbott, at the
+end of the long table, begun to pray and preach and indeed made a very
+good sermon, upon the duty of all Christians to be stedfast in faith.
+After that Captain Cuttance and I had oysters, my Lord being in his cabin
+not intending to stir out to-day.  After that up into the great cabin
+above to dinner with the Captain, where was Captain Isham and all the
+officers of the ship.  I took place of all but the Captains; after dinner
+I wrote a great many letters to my friends at London.  After that, sermon
+again, at which I slept, God forgive me!  After that, it being a fair day,
+I walked with the Captain upon the deck talking.  At night I supped with
+him and after that had orders from my Lord about some business to be done
+against to-morrow, which I sat up late and did and then to bed.
+
+26th.  This day it is two years since it pleased God that I was cut of the
+stone at Mrs. Turner's in Salisbury Court.  And did resolve while I live
+to keep it a festival, as I did the last year at my house, and for ever to
+have Mrs. Turner and her company with me.  But now it pleases God that I
+am where I am and so prevented to do it openly; only within my soul I can
+and do rejoice, and bless God, being at this time blessed be his holy
+name, in as good health as ever I was in my life.  This morning I rose
+early, and went about making of an establishment of the whole Fleet, and a
+list of all the ships, with the number of men and guns: About an hour
+after that, we had a meeting of the principal commanders and seamen, to
+proportion out the number of these things.  After that to dinner, there
+being very many commanders on board.  All the afternoon very many orders
+were made, till I was very weary.  At night Mr. Sheply and W. Howe came
+and brought some bottles of wine and some things to eat in my cabin, where
+we were very merry, remembering the day of being cut for the stone.
+Captain Cuttance came afterwards and sat drinking a bottle of wine till
+eleven, a kindness he do not usually do the greatest officer in the ship.
+After that to bed.
+
+27th.  Early in the morning at making a fair new establishment of the
+Fleet to send to the Council.  This morning, the wind came about, and we
+fell into the Hope,--[A reach of the Thames near Tilbury.]--and in our
+passing by the Vice-Admiral, he and the rest of the frigates, with him,
+did give us abundance of guns and we them, so much that the report of them
+broke all the windows in my cabin and broke off the iron bar that was upon
+it to keep anybody from creeping in at the Scuttle.--["A small hole or
+port cut either in the deck or side of a ship, generally for ventilation.
+That in the deck is a small hatch-way."--Smyth's Sailor's
+Word-Book.]--This noon I sat the first time with my Lord at table since my
+coming to sea.  All the afternoon exceeding busy in writing of letters and
+orders.  In the afternoon, Sir Harry Wright came onboard us, about his
+business of being chosen Parliament-man.  My Lord brought him to see my
+cabin, when I was hard a-writing.  At night supped with my Lord too, with
+the Captain, and after that to work again till it be very late.  So to
+bed.
+
+28th.  This morning and the whole day busy, and that the more because Mr.
+Burr was about his own business all the day at Gravesend.  At night there
+was a gentleman very well bred, his name was Banes, going for Flushing,
+who spoke French and Latin very well, brought by direction from Captain
+Clerke  hither, as a prisoner, because he called out of the vessel that he
+went in, "Where is your King, we have done our business, Vive le Roi." He
+confessed himself a Cavalier in his heart, and that he and his whole
+family had fought for the King; but that he was then drunk, having been
+all night taking his leave at Gravesend the night before, and so could not
+remember what it was that he said; but in his words and carriage showed
+much of a gentleman.  My Lord had a great kindness for him, but did not
+think it safe to release him, but commanded him to be used civilly, so he
+was taken to the Master's Cabin and had supper there. In the meantime I
+wrote a letter to the Council about him, and an order for the vessel to be
+sent for back that he was taken out of.  But a while after, he sent a
+letter down to my Lord, which my Lord did like very well, and did advise
+with me what was best to be done.  So I put in something to my Lord and
+then to the Captain that the gentleman was to be released and the letter
+stopped, which was done.  So I went up and sat and talked with him in
+Latin and French, and drank a bottle or two with him; and about eleven at
+night he took boat again, and so God bless him. Thence I to my cabin and
+to bed.  This day we had news of the election at Huntingdon for Bernard
+and Pedly, at which my Lord was much troubled for his friends' missing of
+it.
+
+29th.  We lie still a little below Gravesend.  At night Mr. Sheply
+returned from London, and told us of several elections for the next
+Parliament.  That the King's effigies was new making to be set up in the
+Exchange again.  This evening was a great whispering of some of the
+Vice-Admiral's captains that they were dissatisfied, and did intend to
+fight themselves, to oppose the General.  But it was soon hushed, and the
+Vice-Admiral did wholly deny any such thing, and protested to stand by the
+General.  At night Mr. Sheply, W. Howe, and I supped in my cabin.  So up
+to the Master's cabin, where we sat talking, and then to bed.
+
+30th.  I was saluted in the morning with two letters, from some that I had
+done a favour to, which brought me in each a piece of gold.  This day,
+while my Lord and we were at dinner, the Nazeby came in sight towards us,
+and at last came to anchor close by us.  After dinner my Lord and many
+others went on board her, where every thing was out of order, and a new
+chimney made for my Lord in his bedchamber, which he was much pleased
+with.  My Lord, in his discourse, discovered a great deal of love to this
+ship.
+
+31st.  This morning Captain Jowles of the "Wexford" came on board, for
+whom I got commission from my Lord to be commander of the ship.  Upon the
+doing thereof he was to make the 20s. piece that he sent me yesterday, up
+L5; wherefore he sent me a bill that he did owe me L4., which I sent my
+boy to Gravesend with him, and he did give the boy L4 for me, and the boy
+gave him the bill under his hand.  This morning, Mr. Hill that lives in
+Axe-yard was here on board with the Vice-Admiral.  I did give him a bottle
+of wine, and was exceedingly satisfied of the power that I have to make my
+friends welcome.  Many orders to make all the afternoon.  At night Mr.
+Sheply, Howe, Ibbott, and I supped in my cabin together.
+
+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                 APRIL
+                                 1660
+
+April 1st (Lord's day).  Mr. Ibbott preached very well.  After dinner my
+Lord did give me a private list of all the ships that were to be set out
+this summer, wherein I do discern that he bath made it his care to put by
+as much of the Anabaptists as he can.  By reason of my Lord and my being
+busy to send away the packet by Mr. Cooke of the Nazeby, it was four
+o'clock before we could begin sermon again.  This day Captain Guy come on
+board from Dunkirk, who tells me that the King will come in, and that the
+soldiers at Dunkirk do drink the King's health in the streets.  At night
+the Captain, Sir R. Stayner, Mr. Sheply, and I did sup together in the
+Captain's cabin.  I made a commission for Captain Wilgness, of the Bear,
+to-night, which got me 30s.  So after writing a while I went to bed.
+
+2d.  Up very early, and to get all my things and my boy's packed up. Great
+concourse of commanders here this morning to take leave of my Lord upon
+his going into the Nazeby, so that the table was full, so there dined
+below many commanders, and Mr. Creed, who was much troubled to hear that
+he could not go along with my Lord, for he had already got all his things
+thither, thinking to stay there, but W. Howe was very high against it, and
+he indeed did put him out, though everybody was glad of it. After dinner I
+went in one of the boats with my boy before my Lord, and made shift before
+night to get my cabin in pretty good order.  It is but little, but very
+convenient, having one window to the sea and another to the deck, and a
+good bed.  This morning comes Mr. Ed. Pickering, like a coxcomb as he
+always was.  He tells me that the King will come in, but that Monk did
+resolve to have the doing of it himself, or else to hinder it.
+
+3d.  Late to bed.  About three in the morning there was great knocking at
+my cabin, which with much difficulty (so they say) waked me, and I rose,
+but it was only for a packet, so went to my bed again, and in the morning
+gave it my Lord.  This morning Capt. Isham comes on board to see my Lord
+and drunk his wine before he went into the Downs, there likewise come many
+merchants to get convoy to the Baltique, which a course was taken for.
+They dined with my Lord, and one of them by name Alderman Wood talked much
+to my Lord of the hopes that we have now to be settled, (under the King he
+meant); but my Lord took no notice of it.  After dinner which was late my
+Lord went on shore, and after him I and Capt. Sparling went in his boat,
+but the water being almost at low water we could not stay for fear of not
+getting into our boat again.  So back again.  This day come the Lieutenant
+of the Swiftsure, who was sent by my Lord to Hastings, one of the Cinque
+Ports, to have got Mr. Edward Montagu to have been one of their burgesses,
+but could not, for they were all promised before.  After he had done his
+message, I took him and Mr. Pierce, the surgeon (who this day came on
+board, and not before), to my cabin, where we drank a bottle of wine.  At
+night, busy a-writing, and so to bed.  My heart exceeding heavy for not
+hearing of my dear wife, and indeed I do not remember that ever my heart
+was so apprehensive of her absence as at this very time.
+
+4th.  This morning I dispatch many letters of my own private business to
+London.  There come Colonel Thomson with the wooden leg, and General Pen,
+
+     [This is the first mention in the Diary of Admiral (afterwards Sir
+     William) Penn, with whom Pepys was subsequently so particularly
+     intimate.  At this time admirals were sometimes styled generals.
+     William Penn was born at Bristol in 1621, of the ancient family of
+     the Penns of Penn Lodge, Wilts.  He was Captain at the age of
+     twenty-one; Rear-Admiral of Ireland at twenty-three; Vice-Admiral of
+     England and General in the first Dutch war, at thirty-two.  He was
+     subsequently M.P. for Weymouth, Governor of Kingsale, and Vice-
+     Admiral of Munster.  He was a highly successful commander, and in
+     1654 he obtained possession of Jamaica.  He was appointed a
+     Commissioner of the Navy in 1660, in which year he was knighted.
+     After the Dutch fight in 1665, where he distinguished himself as
+     second in command under the Duke of York, he took leave of the sea,
+     but continued to act as a Commissioner for the Navy till 1669, when
+     he retired to Wanstead, on account of his bodily infirmities, and
+     dying there, September 16th, 1670, aged forty-nine, was buried in
+     the church of St. Mary Redcliffe, in Bristol, where a monument to
+     his memory was erected.]
+
+and dined with my Lord and Mr. Blackburne, who told me that it was certain
+now that the King must of necessity come in, and that one of the Council
+told him there is something doing in order to a treaty already among them.
+And it was strange to hear how Mr. Blackburne did already begin to commend
+him for a sober man, and how quiet he would be under his government, &c.
+I dined all alone to prevent company, which was exceeding great to-day, in
+my cabin.  After these two were gone Sir W. Wheeler and Sir John Petters
+came on board and staid about two or three hours, and so went away.  The
+Commissioners came to-day, only to consult about a further reducement of
+the Fleet, and to pay them as fast as they can.  I did give Davis, their
+servant, L5 10s.  to give to Mr. Moore from me, in part of the L7 that I
+borrowed of him, and he is to discount the rest out of the 36s. that he do
+owe me.  At night, my Lord resolved to send the Captain of our ship to
+Waymouth and promote his being chosen there, which he did put himself into
+a readiness to do the next morning.
+
+5th.  Infinity of business all the morning of orders to make, that I was
+very much perplexed that Mr. Burr had failed me of coming back last night,
+and we ready to set sail, which we did about noon, and came in the evening
+to Lee roads and anchored.  At night Mr. Sheply overtook us who had been
+at Gray's Market this morning.  I spent all the afternoon upon the deck,
+it being very pleasant weather.  This afternoon Sir Rich. Stayner and Mr.
+Creed, after we were come to anchor, did come on board, and Creed brought
+me L30, which my Lord had ordered him to pay me upon account, and Captain
+Clerke brought me a noted caudle.  At night very sleepy to bed.
+
+6th.  This morning came my brother-in-law Balty to see me, and to desire
+to be here with me as Reformado,--["a broken or disbanded officer."] which
+did much trouble me.  But after dinner (my Lord using him very civilly, at
+table) I spoke to my Lord, and he presented me a letter to Captain Stokes
+for him that he should be there.  All the day with him walking and
+talking, we under sail as far as the Spitts.  In the afternoon, W. Howe
+and I to our viallins, the first time since we came on board.  This
+afternoon I made even with my Lord to this day, and did give him all the
+money remaining in my hands.  In the evening, it being fine moonshine, I
+staid late walking upon the quarter-deck with Mr. Cuttance, learning of
+some sea terms; and so down to supper and to bed, having an hour before
+put Balty into Burr's cabin, he being out of the ship.
+
+7th.  This day, about nine o'clock in the morning, the wind grew high, and
+we being among the sands lay at anchor; I began to be dizzy and squeamish.
+Before dinner my Lord sent for me down to eat some oysters, the best my
+Lord said that ever he ate in his life, though I have ate as good at
+Bardsey.  After dinner, and all the afternoon I walked upon the deck to
+keep myself from being sick, and at last about five o'clock, went to bed
+and got a caudle made me, and sleep upon it very well.  This day Mr.
+Sheply went to Sheppy.
+
+8th (Lord's day).  Very calm again, and I pretty well, but my head aked
+all day.  About noon set sail; in our way I see many vessels and masts,
+which are now the greatest guides for ships.  We had a brave wind all the
+afternoon, and overtook two good merchantmen that overtook us yesterday,
+going to the East Indies.  The lieutenant and I lay out of his window with
+his glass, looking at the women that were on board them, being pretty
+handsome.  This evening Major Willoughby, who had been here three or four
+days on board with Mr. Pickering, went on board a catch [ketch] for
+Dunkirk.  We continued sailing when I went to bed, being somewhat ill
+again, and Will Howe, the surgeon, parson, and Balty supped in the
+Lieutenant's cabin and afterwards sat disputing, the parson for and I
+against extemporary prayers, very hot.
+
+9th.  We having sailed all night, were come in sight of the Nore and South
+Forelands in the morning, and so sailed all day.  In the afternoon we had
+a very fresh gale, which I brooked better than I thought I should be able
+to do.  This afternoon I first saw France and Calais, with which I was
+much pleased, though it was at a distance.  About five o'clock we came to
+the Goodwin, so to the Castles about Deal; where our Fleet lay, among whom
+we anchored.  Great was the shout of guns from the castles and ships, and
+our answers, that I never heard yet so great rattling of guns. Nor could
+we see one another on board for the smoke that was among us, nor one ship
+from another.  Soon as we came to anchor, the captains came from on board
+their ships all to us on board.  This afternoon I wrote letters for my
+Lord to the Council, &c., which Mr. Dickering was to carry, who took his
+leave this night of my Lord, and Balty after I had wrote two or three
+letters by him to my wife and Mr. Bowyer, and had drank a bottle of wine
+with him in my cabin which J. Goods and W. Howe brought on purpose, he
+took leave of me too to go away to-morrow morning with Mr. Dickering.  I
+lent Balty 15s. which he was to pay to my wife. It was one in the morning
+before we parted.  This evening Mr. Sheply came on board, having escaped a
+very great danger upon a sand coming from Chatham.
+
+10th.  This morning many or most of the commanders in the Fleet came on
+board and dined here, so that some of them and I dined together in the
+Round-house, where we were very merry.  Hither came the Vice-Admiral to
+us, and sat and talked and seemed a very good-natured man.  At night as I
+was all alone in my cabin, in a melancholy fit playing on my viallin, my
+Lord and Sir R. Stayner came into the coach
+
+     ["A sort of chamber or apartment in a large ship of war, just before
+     the great cabin.  The floor of it is formed by the aftmost part of
+     the quarter deck, and the roof of it by the poop: it is generally
+     the habitation of the flag-captain."--Smyth's Sailor's Word-Book.]
+
+and supped there, and called me out to supper with them.  After that up to
+the Lieutenant's cabin, where he and I and Sir Richard sat till 11 o'clock
+talking, and so to bed.  This day my Lord Goring returned from France, and
+landed at Dover.
+
+11th.  A Gentleman came this morning from my Lord of Manchester to my Lord
+for a pass for Mr. Boyle,' which was made him.  I ate a good breakfast by
+my Lord's orders with him in the great cabin below.  The wind all this day
+was very high, so that a gentleman that was at dinner with my Lord that
+came along with Sir John Bloys (who seemed a fine man) was forced to rise
+from table.  This afternoon came a great packet of letters from London
+directed to me, among the rest two from my wife, the first that I have
+since coming away from London.  All the news from London is that things go
+on further towards a King.  That the Skinners' Company the other day at
+their entertaining of General Monk had took down the Parliament Arms in
+their Hall, and set up the King's.  In the evening my Lord and I had a
+great deal of discourse about the several Captains of the Fleet and his
+interest among them, and had his mind clear to bring in the King.  He
+confessed to me that he was not sure of his own Captain [Cuttance] to be
+true to him, and that he did not like Captain Stokes. At night W. Howe and
+I at our viallins in my cabin, where Mr. Ibbott and the lieutenant were
+late.  I staid the lieutenant late, shewing him my manner of keeping a
+journal.  After that to bed.  It comes now into my mind to observe that I
+am sensible that I have been a little too free to make mirth with the
+minister of our ship, he being a very sober and an upright man.
+
+12th.  This day, the weather being very bad, we had no strangers on board.
+In the afternoon came the Vice-Admiral on board, with whom my Lord
+consulted, and I sent a packet to London at night with several letters to
+my friends, as to my wife about my getting of money for her when she
+should need it, to Mr. Bowyer that he tell me when the Messieurs of the
+offices be paid, to Mr. Moore about the business of my office, and making
+even with him as to matter of money.  At night after I had despatched my
+letters, to bed.
+
+13th.  This day very foul all day for rain and wind.  In the afternoon set
+my own things in my cabin and chests in better order than hitherto, and
+set my papers in order.  At night sent another packet to London by the
+post, and after that was done I went up to the lieutenant's cabin and
+there we broached a vessel of ale that we had sent for among us from Deal
+to-day.  There was the minister and doctor with us.  After that till one
+o'clock in the morning writing letters to Mr. Downing about my business of
+continuing my office to myself, only Mr. Moore to execute it for me. I had
+also a very serious and effectual letter from my Lord to him to that
+purpose.  After that done then to bed, and it being very rainy, and the
+rain coming upon my bed, I went and lay with John Goods in the great cabin
+below, the wind being so high that we were faro to lower some of the
+masts.  I to bed, and what with the goodness of the bed and the rocking of
+the ship I slept till almost ten o'clock, and then--
+
+14th.  Rose and drank a good morning draught there with Mr. Sheply, which
+occasioned my thinking upon the happy life that I live now, had I nothing
+to care for but myself.  The sea was this morning very high, and looking
+out of the window I saw our boat come with Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, in it
+in great danger, who endeavouring to come on board us, had like to have
+been drowned had it not been for a rope.  This day I was informed that my
+Lord Lambert is got out of the Towers and that there is L100 proffered to
+whoever shall bring him forth to the Council of State.
+
+     [The manner of the escape of John Lambert, out of the Tower, on the
+     11th inst., as related by Rugge:--"That about eight of the clock at
+     night he escaped by a rope tied fast to his window, by which he slid
+     down, and in each hand he had a handkerchief; and six men were ready
+     to receive him, who had a barge to hasten him away.  She who made
+     the bed, being privy to his escape, that night, to blind the warder
+     when he came to lock the chamber-door, went to bed, and possessed
+     Colonel Lambert's place, and put on his night-cap.  So, when the
+     said warder came to lock the door, according to his usual manner, he
+     found the curtains drawn, and conceiving it to be Colonel John
+     Lambert, he said, 'Good night, my Lord.'  To which a seeming voice
+     replied, and prevented all further jealousies.  The next morning, on
+     coming to unlock the door, and espying her face, he cried out, 'In
+     the name of God, Joan, what makes you here?  Where is my Lord
+     Lambert?'  She said, 'He is gone; but I cannot tell whither.'
+     Whereupon he caused her to rise, and carried her before the officer
+     in the Tower, and [she] was committed to custody.  Some said that a
+     lady knit for him a garter of silk, by which he was conveyed down,
+     and that she received L100 for her pains."--B]
+
+My Lord is chosen at Waymouth this morning; my Lord had his freedom
+brought him by Captain Tiddiman of the port of Dover, by which he is
+capable of being elected for them.  This day I heard that the Army had in
+general declared to stand by what the next Parliament shall do.  At night
+supped with my Lord.
+
+15th (Lord's day).  Up early and was trimmed by the barber in the great
+cabin below.  After that to put my clothes on and then to sermon, and then
+to dinner, where my Lord told us that the University of Cambridge had a
+mind to choose him for their burgess, which he pleased himself with, to
+think that they do look upon him as a thriving man, and said so openly at
+table.  At dinner-time Mr. Cook came back from London with a packet which
+caused my Lord to be full of thoughts all day, and at night he bid me
+privately to get two commissions ready, one for Capt. Robert Blake to be
+captain of the Worcester, in the room of Capt. Dekings, an anabaptist, and
+one that had witnessed a great deal of discontent with the present
+proceedings.  The other for Capt. Coppin  to come out of that into the
+Newbury in the room of Blake, whereby I perceive that General Monk do
+resolve to make a thorough change, to make way for the King. From London I
+hear that since Lambert got out of the Tower, the Fanatiques had held up
+their heads high, but I hope all that will come to nothing.  Late a
+writing of letters to London to get ready for Mr. Cook. Then to bed.
+
+16th.  And about 4 o'clock in the morning Mr. Cook waked me where I lay in
+the great cabin below, and I did give him his packet and directions for
+London.  So to sleep again.  All the morning giving out orders and tickets
+to the Commanders of the Fleet to discharge all supernumeraries that they
+had above the number that the Council had set in their last establishment.
+After dinner busy all the afternoon writing, and so till night, then to
+bed.
+
+17th.  All the morning getting ready commissions for the Vice-Admiral and
+the Rear-Admiral, wherein my Lord was very careful to express the utmost
+of his own power, commanding them to obey what orders they should receive
+from the Parliament, &c., or both or either of the Generals.
+
+     [Sir Edward Montagu afterwards recommended the Duke of York as High
+     Admiral, to give regular and lawful commissions to the Commanders of
+     the Fleet, instead of those which they had received from Sir Edward
+     himself, or from the Rump Parliament.--Kennett's Register, p. 163.]
+
+The Vice-Admiral dined with us, and in the afternoon my Lord called me to
+give him the commission for him, which I did, and he gave it him himself.
+A very pleasant afternoon, and I upon the deck all the day, it was so
+clear that my Lord's glass shewed us Calais very plain, and the cliffs
+were as plain to be seen as Kent, and my Lord at first made me believe
+that it was Kent.  At night, after supper, my Lord called for the
+Rear-Admiral's commission, which I brought him, and I sitting in my study
+heard my Lord discourse with him concerning D. King's and Newberry's being
+put out of commission.  And by the way I did observe that my Lord did
+speak more openly his mind to me afterwards at night than I can find that
+he did to the Rear-Admiral, though his great confidant.  For I was with
+him an hour together, when he told me clearly his thoughts that the King
+would carry it, and that he did think himself very happy that he was now
+at sea, as well for his own sake, as that he thought he might do his
+country some service in keeping things quiet.  To bed, and shifting myself
+from top to toe, there being J. Goods and W. Howe sat late by my bedside
+talking.  So to sleep, every day bringing me a fresh sense of the pleasure
+of my present life.
+
+18th.  This morning very early came Mr. Edward Montagu on board, but what
+was the business of his coming again or before without any servant and
+making no stay at all I cannot guess.  This day Sir R. Stayner, Mr.
+Sheply, and as many of my Lord's people as could be spared went to Dover
+to get things ready against to-morrow for the election there.  I all the
+afternoon dictating in my cabin (my own head being troubled with
+multiplicity of business) to Burr, who wrote for me above a dozen letters,
+by which I have made my mind more light and clear than I have had it yet
+since I came on board.  At night sent a packet to London, and Mr. Cook
+returned hence bringing me this news, that the Sectaries do talk high what
+they will do, but I believe all to no purpose, but the Cavaliers are
+something unwise to talk so high on the other side as they do.  That the
+Lords do meet every day at my Lord of Manchester's, and resolve to sit the
+first day of the Parliament.  That it is evident now that the General and
+the Council do resolve to make way for the King's coming.  And it is now
+clear that either the Fanatiques must now be undone, or the gentry and
+citizens throughout England, and clergy must fall, in spite of their
+militia and army, which is not at all possible I think.  At night I supped
+with W. Howe and Mr. Luellin (being the first time that I had been so long
+with him) in the great cabin below.  After that to bed, and W. Howe sat by
+my bedside, and he and I sang a psalm or two and so I to sleep.
+
+19th.  A great deal of business all this day, and Burr being gone to shore
+without my leave did vex me much.  At dinner news was brought us that my
+Lord was chosen at Dover.  This afternoon came one Mr. Mansell on board as
+a Reformado, to whom my Lord did shew exceeding great respect, but upon
+what account I do not yet know.  This day it has rained much, so that when
+I came to go to bed I found it wet through, so I was fain to wrap myself
+up in a dry sheet, and so lay all night.
+
+20th.  All the morning I was busy to get my window altered, and to have my
+table set as I would have it, which after it was done I was infinitely
+pleased with it, and also to see what a command I have to have every one
+ready to come and go at my command.  This evening came Mr. Boyle on board,
+for whom I writ an order for a ship to transport him to Flushing. He
+supped with my Lord, my Lord using him as a person of honour.  This
+evening too came Mr. John Pickering on board us.  This evening my head
+ached exceedingly, which I impute to my sitting backwards in my cabin,
+otherwise than I am used to do.  To-night Mr. Sheply told me that he heard
+for certain at Dover that Mr. Edw. Montagu did go beyond sea when he was
+here first the other day, and I am apt to believe that he went to speak
+with the King.  This day one told me how that at the election at Cambridge
+for knights of the shire, Wendby and Thornton by declaring to stand for
+the Parliament and a King and the settlement of the Church, did carry it
+against all expectation against Sir Dudley North and Sir Thomas Willis!  I
+supped to-night with Mr. Sheply below at the half-deck table, and after
+that I saw Mr. Pickering whom my Lord brought down to his cabin, and so to
+bed.
+
+21st.  This day dined Sir John Boys
+
+     [Of Bonnington and Sandwich, Gentleman of the Privy-Chamber to
+     Charles I.  He defended Donnington Castle, Berkshire, for the King
+     against Jeremiah Horton, 1644, and received an augmentation to his
+     arms in consequence.]
+
+and some other gentlemen formerly great Cavaliers, and among the rest one
+Mr. Norwood, for whom my Lord give a convoy to carry him to the
+Brill,--[Brielle, or Den Briel, a seaport town in the province of South
+Holland.]--but he is certainly going to the King.  For my Lord commanded
+me that I should not enter his name in my book.  My Lord do show them and
+that sort of people great civility.  All their discourse and others are of
+the King's coming, and we begin to speak of it very freely.  And heard how
+in many churches in London, and upon many signs there, and upon merchants'
+ships in the river, they had set up the King's arms.  In the afternoon the
+Captain would by all means have me up to his cabin, and there treated me
+huge nobly, giving me a barrel of pickled oysters, and opened another for
+me, and a bottle of wine, which was a very great favour.  At night late
+singing with W. Howe, and under the barber's hands in the coach. This
+night there came one with a letter from Mr. Edw. Montagu to my Lord, with
+command to deliver it to his own hands.  I do believe that he do carry
+some close business on for the King.
+
+     [Pepys's guess at E. Montagu's business is confirmed by Clarendon's
+     account of his employment of him to negotiate with Lord Sandwich on
+     behalf of the King.  ("History of the Rebellion," book xvi.)--Notes
+     and Queries, vol. x.  p. 3--M. B.]
+
+This day I had a large letter from Mr. Moore, giving me an account of the
+present dispute at London that is like to be at the beginning of the
+Parliament, about the House of Lords, who do resolve to sit with the
+Commons, as not thinking themselves dissolved yet.  Which, whether it be
+granted or no, or whether they will sit or no, it will bring a great many
+inconveniences.  His letter I keep, it being a very well writ one.
+
+22d (Easter Sunday).  Several Londoners, strangers, friends of the
+Captains, dined here, who, among other things told us, how the King's Arms
+are every day set up in houses and churches, particularly in Allhallows
+Church in Thames-street, John Simpson's church, which being privately done
+was, a great eye-sore to his people when they came to church and saw it.
+Also they told us for certain, that the King's statue is making by the
+Mercers' Company (who are bound to do it) to set up in the Exchange.
+After sermon in the afternoon I fell to writing letters against to-morrow
+to send to London.  After supper to bed.
+
+23rd.  All the morning very busy getting my packet ready for London, only
+for an hour or two had the Captain and Mr. Sheply in my cabin at the
+barrel of pickled oysters that the Captain did give me on Saturday last.
+After dinner I sent Mr. Dunn to London with the packet.  This afternoon I
+had 40s. given me by Captain Cowes of the Paradox.' In the evening the
+first time that we had any sport among the seamen, and indeed there was
+extraordinary good sport after my Lord had done playing at ninepins. After
+that W. Howe and I went to play two trebles in the great cabin below,
+which my Lord hearing, after supper he called for our instruments, and
+played a set of Lock's, two trebles, and a base, and that being done, he
+fell to singing of a song made upon the Rump, with which he played himself
+well, to the tune of "The Blacksmith."  After all that done, then to bed.
+
+     ["The Blacksmith" was the same tune as "Green Sleeves."  The
+     earliest known copy of "The Praise of the Blacksmith" is in "An
+     Antidote against Melancholy," 1661.  See "Roxburghe Ballads," ed.
+     W. Chappell, 1872, vol. ii.  p. 126.  (Ballad Society:)]
+
+24th.  This morning I had Mr. Luellin and Mr. Sheply to the remainder of
+my oysters that were left yesterday.  After that very busy all the
+morning.  While I was at dinner with my Lord, the Coxon of the
+Vice-Admiral came for me to the Vice-Admiral to dinner.  So I told my Lord
+and he gave me leave to go.  I rose therefore from table and went, where
+there was very many commanders, and very pleasant we were on board the
+London, which hath a state-room much bigger than the Nazeby, but not so
+rich.  After that, with the Captain on board our own ship, where we were
+saluted with the news of Lambert's being taken, which news was brought to
+London on Sunday last.  He was taken in Northamptonshire by Colonel
+Ingoldsby, at the head of a party, by which means their whole design is
+broke, and things now very open and safe.  And every man begins to be
+merry and full of hopes.  In the afternoon my Lord gave a great large
+character to write out, so I spent all the day about it, and after supper
+my Lord and we had some more very good musique and singing of "Turne
+Amaryllis," as it is printed in the song book, with which my Lord was very
+much pleased.  After that to bed.
+
+25th.  All the morning about my Lord's character.  Dined to-day with
+Captain Clerke on board the Speaker (a very brave ship) where was the
+Vice-Admiral, Rear-Admiral, and many other commanders.  After dinner home,
+not a little contented to see how I am treated, and with what respect made
+a fellow to the best commanders in the Fleet.  All the afternoon finishing
+of the character, which I did and gave it my Lord, it being very
+handsomely done and a very good one in itself, but that not truly
+Alphabetical.  Supped with Mr. Sheply, W. Howe, &c. in Mr. Pierce, the
+Purser's cabin, where very merry, and so to bed.  Captain Isham came
+hither to-day.
+
+26th.  This day came Mr. Donne back from London, who brought letters with
+him that signify the meeting of the Parliament yesterday.  And in the
+afternoon by other letters I hear, that about twelve of the Lords met and
+had chosen my Lord of Manchester' Speaker of the House of Lords (the young
+Lords that never sat yet, do forbear to sit for the present); and Sir
+Harbottle Grimstone, Speaker for the House of Commons.  The House of Lords
+sent to have a conference with the House of Commons, which, after a little
+debate, was granted.  Dr. Reynolds' preached before the Commons before
+they sat.  My Lord told me how Sir H. Yelverton (formerly my
+school-fellow) was chosen in the first place for Northamptonshire and Mr.
+Crew in the second.  And told me how he did believe that the Cavaliers
+have now the upper hand clear of the Presbyterians.  All the afternoon I
+was writing of letters, among the rest one to W. Simons, Peter Luellin and
+Tom Doling, which because it is somewhat merry I keep a copy of. After
+that done Mr. Sheply, W. Howe and I down with J. Goods into my Lord's
+storeroom of wine and other drink, where it was very pleasant to observe
+the massy timbers that the ship is made of.  We in the room were wholly
+under water and yet a deck below that.  After that to supper, where Tom
+Guy supped with us, and we had very good laughing, and after that some
+musique, where Mr. Pickering beginning to play a bass part upon the viall
+did it so like a fool that I was ashamed of him.  After that to bed.
+
+27th.  This morning Burr was absent again from on board, which I was
+troubled at, and spoke to Mr. Pierce, Purser, to speak to him of it, and
+it is my mind.  This morning Pim [the tailor] spent in my cabin, putting a
+great many ribbons to a suit.  After dinner in the afternoon came on board
+Sir Thomas Hatton and Sir R. Maleverer going for Flushing; but all the
+world know that they go where the rest of the many gentlemen go that every
+day flock to the King at Breda.
+
+     [The King arrived at Breda on the 14th April.  Sir W. Lower writes
+     ("Voiage and Residence of Charles II. in Holland," p. 5): "Many
+     considerations obliged him to depart the territories under the
+     obedience of the King of Spain in this conjuncture of affairs."]
+
+They supped here, and my Lord treated them as he do the rest that go
+thither, with a great deal of civility.  While we were at supper a packet
+came, wherein much news from several friends.  The chief is that, that I
+had from Mr. Moore, viz. that he fears the Cavaliers in the House will be
+so high, that the others will be forced to leave the House and fall in
+with General Monk, and so offer things to the King so high on the
+Presbyterian account that he may refuse, and so they will endeavour some
+more mischief; but when I told my Lord it, he shook his head and told me,
+that the Presbyterians are deceived, for the General is certainly for the
+King's interest, and so they will not be able to prevail that way with
+him.  After supper the two knights went on board the Grantham, that is to
+convey them to Flushing.  I am informed that the Exchequer is now so low,
+that there is not L20 there, to give the messenger that brought the news
+of Lambert's being taken; which story is very strange that he should lose
+his reputation of being a man of courage now at one blow, for that he was
+not able to fight one stroke, but desired of Colonel Ingoldsby several
+times for God's sake to let him escape.  Late reading my letters, my mind
+being much troubled to think that, after all our hopes, we should have any
+cause to fear any more disappointments therein.  To bed.  This day I made
+even with Mr. Creed, by sending him my bill and he me my money by Burr
+whom I sent for it.
+
+28th.  This morning sending a packet by Mr. Dunne to London.  In the
+afternoon I played at ninepins with Mr. Pickering, I and Mr. Pett against
+him and Ted Osgood, and won a crown apiece of him.  He had not money
+enough to pay me.  After supper my Lord exceeding merry, and he and I and
+W. Howe to sing, and so to bed.
+
+29th (Sunday).  This day I put on first my fine cloth suit made of a cloak
+that had like to have been [dirted] a year ago, the very day that I put it
+on.  After sermon in the morning Mr. Cook came from London with a packet,
+bringing news how all the young lords that were not in arms against the
+Parliament do now sit.  That a letter is come from the King to the House,
+which is locked up by the Council 'till next Tuesday that it may be read
+in the open House when they meet again, they having adjourned till then to
+keep a fast tomorrow.  And so the contents is not yet known.  L13,000 of
+the L20,000 given to General Monk is paid out of the Exchequer, he giving
+L12 among the teller clerks of Exchequer.  My Lord called me into the
+great cabin below, where I opened my letters and he told me that the
+Presbyterians are quite mastered by the Cavaliers, and that he fears Mr.
+Crew did go a little too far the other day in keeping out the young lords
+from sitting.  That he do expect that the King should be brought over
+suddenly, without staying to make any terms at all, saying that the
+Presbyterians did intend to have brought him in with such conditions as if
+he had been in chains.  But he shook his shoulders when he told me how
+Monk had betrayed him, for it was he that did put them upon standing to
+put out the lords and other members that came not within the
+qualifications, which he [Montagu] did not like, but however he [Monk] had
+done his business, though it be with some kind of baseness.  After dinner
+I walked a great while upon the deck with the chyrurgeon and purser, and
+other officers of the ship, and they all pray for the King's coming, which
+I pray God send.
+
+30th.  All the morning getting instructions ready for the Squadron of
+ships that are going to-day to the Streights, among others Captain
+Teddiman, Curtis, and Captain Robert Blake to be commander of the whole
+Squadron.  After dinner to ninepins, W. Howe and I against Mr. Creed and
+the Captain.  We lost 5s. apiece to them.  After that W. Howe, Mr. Sheply
+and I got my Lord's leave to go to see Captain Sparling.  So we took boat
+and first went on shore, it being very pleasant in the fields; but a very
+pitiful town Deal is.  We went to Fuller's (the famous place for ale), but
+they have none but what was in the vat.  After that to Poole's, a tavern
+in the town, where we drank, and so to boat again, and went to the
+Assistance, where we were treated very civilly by the Captain, and he did
+give us such music upon the harp by a fellow that he keeps on board that I
+never expect to hear the like again, yet he is a drunken simple fellow to
+look on as any I ever saw.  After that on board the Nazeby, where we found
+my Lord at supper, so I sat down and very pleasant my Lord was with Mr.
+Creed and Sheply, who he puzzled about finding out the meaning of the
+three notes which my Lord had cut over the chrystal of his watch.  After
+supper some musique.  Then Mr. Sheply, W. Howe and I up to the
+Lieutenant's cabin, where we drank, and I and W. Howe were very merry, and
+among other frolics he pulls out the spigot of the little vessel of ale
+that was there in the cabin and drew some into his mounteere, and after he
+had drank, I endeavouring to dash it in his face, he got my velvet
+studying cap and drew some into mine too, that we made ourselves a great
+deal of mirth, but spoiled my clothes with the ale that we dashed up and
+down.  After that to bed very late with drink enough in my head.

+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+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:

+
+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.

+                                1659-60
+
+
+March 1st.  In the morning went to my Lord's lodgings, thinking to have
+spoke with Mr. Sheply, having not been to visit him since my coming to
+town.  But he being not within I went up, and out of the box where my
+Lord's pamphlets lay, I chose as many as I had a mind to have for my own
+use and left the rest.  Then to my office, where little to do, abut Mr.
+Sheply comes to me, so at dinner time he and I went to Mr. Crew's,
+whither Mr. Thomas was newly come to town, being sent with Sir H.
+Yelverton, a my old school-fellow at Paul's School, to bring the thanks
+of the county to General Monk for the return of the Parliament.  But old
+Mr. Crew and my Lord not coming home to dinner, we tarried late before we
+went to dinner, it being the day that John, Mr. John Crew's coachman, was
+to be buried in the afternoon, he being a day or two before killed with a
+blow of one of his horses that struck his skull into his brain.  From
+thence Mr. Sheply and I went into London to Mr. Laxton's; my Lord's
+apothecary, and so by water to Westminster, where at the Sun [tavern] he
+and I spent two or three hours in a pint or two of wine, discoursing of
+matters in the country, among other things telling me that my uncle did
+to him make a very kind mention of me, and what he would do for me.
+Thence I went home, and went to bed betimes.  This day the Parliament did
+vote that they would not sit longer than the 15th day of this month.
+
+
+
+2d.  This morning I went early to my Lord at Mr. Crew's, where I spoke to
+him.  Here were a great many come to see him, as Secretary Thurlow who is
+now by this Parliament chosen again Secretary of State.  There were also
+General Monk's trumpeters to give my Lord a sound of their trumpets this
+morning.  Thence I went to my office, and wrote a letter to Mr. Downing
+about the business of his house.  Then going home, I met with Mr. Eglin,
+Chetwind, and Thomas, who took me to the Leg [another tavern] in King's
+street, where we had two brave dishes of meat, one of fish, a carp and
+some other fishes, as well done as ever I ate any.  After that to the
+Swan tavern, where we drank a quart or two of wine, and so parted.  So I
+to Mrs. Jem and took Mr. Moore with me (who I met in the street), and
+there I met W. Howe and Sheply.  After that to Westminster Hall, where I
+saw Sir G. Booth at liberty.  This day I hear the City militia is put
+into good posture, and it is thought that Monk will not be able to do any
+great matter against them now, if he have a mind.  I understand that my
+Lord Lambert did yesterday send a letter to the Council, and that
+to-night he is to come and appear to the Council in person.  Sir Arthur
+Haselrigge do not yet appear in the House.  Great is the talk of a single
+person, and that it would now be Charles, George, or Richard again.--
+[Charles II., or George Monk, or Richard Cromwell.]--For the last of
+which, my Lord St. John is said to speak high.  Great also is the dispute
+now in the House, in whose name the writs shall run for the next
+Parliament; and it is said that Mr. Prin, in open House, said, "In King
+Charles's."  From Westminster Hall home.  Spent the evening in my study,
+and so after some talk with my wife, then to bed.
+
+
+
+3d.  To Westminster Hall, where I found that my Lord was last night voted
+one of the Generals at Sea, and Monk the other.  I met my Lord in the
+Hall, who bid me come to him at noon.  I met with Mr. Pierce the purser,
+Lieut. Lambert, Mr. Creed, and Will. Howe, and went with them to the Swan
+tavern.  Up to my office, but did nothing.  At noon home to dinner to a
+sheep's head.  My brother Tom came and dined with me, and told me that my
+mother was not very well, and that my Aunt Fenner was very ill too.
+After dinner I to Warwick House, in Holborn, to my Lord, where he dined
+with my Lord of Manchester, Sir Dudley North, my Lord Fiennes, and my
+Lord Barkly.  I staid in the great hall, talking with some gentlemen
+there, till they all come out.  Then I, by coach with my Lord, to Mr.
+Crew's, in our way talking of publick things, and how I should look after
+getting of his Commissioner's despatch.  He told me he feared there was
+new design hatching, as if Monk had a mind to get into the saddle.  Here
+I left him, and went by appointment to Hering, the merchant, but missed
+of my money, at which I was much troubled, but could not help myself.
+Returning, met Mr. Gifford, who took me and gave me half a pint of wine,
+and told me, as I hear this day from many, that things are in a very
+doubtful posture, some of the Parliament being willing to keep the power
+in their hands.  After I had left him, I met with Tom Harper, who took me
+into a place in Drury Lane, where we drank a great deal of strong water,
+more than ever I did in my life at onetime before.  He talked huge high
+that my Lord Protector would come in place again, which indeed is much
+discoursed of again, though I do not see it possible.  Hence home and
+wrote to my father at Brampton by the post.  So to bed.  This day I was
+told that my Lord General Fleetwood told my lord that he feared the King
+of Sweden is dead of a fever at Gottenburg.
+
+
+
+4th.  Lord's day.  Before I went to church I sang Orpheus' Hymn  to my
+viall.  After that to Mr. Gunning's, an excellent sermon upon charity.
+Then to my mother to dinner, where my wife and the maid were come.  After
+dinner we three to Mr. Messum's where we met Mons. L'Impertinent, who got
+us a seat and told me a ridiculous story how that last week he had caused
+a simple citizen to spend; L80 in entertainments of him and some friends
+of his upon pretence of some service that he would do him in his suit
+after a widow.  Then to my mother again, and after supper she and I
+talked very high about religion, I in defence of the religion I was born
+in.  Then home.
+
+
+
+5th.  Early in the morning Mr. Hill comes to string my theorbo,
+
+     [The theorbo was a bass lute.  Having gut strings it was played with
+     the fingers.  There is a humorous comparison of the long waists of
+     ladies, which came into fashion about 1621, with the theorbo, by
+     Bishop Corbet:
+
+         "She was barr'd up in whale-bones, that did leese
+          None of the whale's length, for they reached her knees;
+          Off with her head, and then she hath a middle
+          As her waste stands, just like the new found fiddle,
+          The favourite Theorbo, truth to tell ye,
+          Whose neck and throat are deeper than the belly."
+
+                                   Corbet, 'Iter Boreale'.]
+
+which we were about till past ten o'clock, with a great deal of pleasure.
+Then to Westminster, where I met with Mr. Sheply and Mr. Pinkney at
+Will's, who took me by water to Billingsgate, at the Salutation Tavern,
+whither by-and-by, Mr. Talbot and Adams came, and bring a great [deal of]
+good meat, a ham of bacon, &c.  Here we staid and drank till Mr. Adams
+began to be overcome.  Then we parted, and so to Westminster by water,
+only seeing Mr. Pinkney at his own house, where he shewed me how he had
+alway kept the Lion and Unicorn, in the back of his chimney, bright, in
+expectation of the King's coming again.  At home I found Mr. Hunt, who
+told me how.  the Parliament had voted that the Covenant be printed and
+hung in churches again.  Great hopes of the King's coming again.  To bed.
+
+
+
+6th.  (Shrove Tuesday.) I called Mr. Sheply and we both went up to my
+Lord's lodgings at Mr. Crew's, where he bade us to go home again, and get
+a fire against an hour after.  Which we did at White Hall, whither he
+came, and after talking with him and me about his going to sea, he called
+me by myself to go along with him into the garden, where he asked me how
+things were with me, and what he had endeavoured to do with my uncle to
+get him to do something for me but he would say nothing too.  He likewise
+bade me look out now at this turn some good place, and he would use all
+his own, and all the interest of his friends that he had in England, to
+do me good.  And asked me whether I could, without too much
+inconvenience, go to sea as his secretary, and bid me think of it.  He
+also began to talk of things of State, and told me that he should want
+one in that capacity at sea, that he might trust in, and therefore he
+would have me to go.  He told me also, that he did believe the King would
+come in, and did discourse with me about it, and about the affection of
+the people and City, at which I was full glad.  After he was gone, I
+waiting upon him through the garden till he came to the Hall, where I
+left him and went up to my office, where Mr. Hawly brought one to me, a
+seaman, that had promised Rio to him if he get him a purser's place,
+which I think to endeavour to do.  Here comes my uncle Tom, whom I took
+to Will's and drank with, poor man, he comes to inquire about the knights
+of Windsor, of which he desires to get to be one.
+
+     [The body of Poor Knights of Windsor was founded by Edward III.  The
+     intention of the king with regard to the poor knights was to provide
+     relief and comfortable subsistence for such valiant soldiers as
+     happened in their old age to fall into poverty and decay.  On
+     September 20th, 1659, a Report having been read respecting the Poor
+     Knights of Windsor, the House "ordered that it be referred to a
+     Committee, to look into the revenue for maintenance of the Poor
+     Knights of Windsor," &c.  (See Tighe and Davis's "Annals of
+     Windsor.")]
+
+While we were drinking, in comes Mr. Day, a carpenter in Westminster, to
+tell me that it was Shrove Tuesday, and that I must go with him to their
+yearly Club upon this day, which I confess I had quite forgot.  So I went
+to the Bell, where were Mr. Eglin, Veezy, Vincent a butcher, one more,
+and Mr. Tanner, with whom I played upon a viall, and he a viallin, after
+dinner, and were very merry, with a special good dinner, a leg of veal
+and bacon, two capons and sausages and fritters, with abundance of wine.
+After that I went home, where I found Kate Sterpin who hath not been here
+a great while before.  She gone I went to see Mrs. Jem, at whose chamber
+door I found a couple of ladies, but she not being there, we hunted her
+out, and found that she and another had hid themselves behind a door.
+Well, they all went down into the dining-room, where it was full of tag,
+rag, and bobtail, dancing, singing, and drinking, of which I was ashamed,
+and after I had staid a dance or two I went away.  Going home, called at
+my Lord's for Mr. Sheply, but found him at the Lion with a pewterer, that
+he had bought pewter to-day of.  With them I drank, and so home and wrote
+by the post, by my Lord's command, for J. Goods to come up presently.
+For my Lord intends to go forthwith into the Swiftsure till the Nazeby be
+ready.  This day I hear that the Lords do intend to sit, and great store
+of them are now in town, and I see in the Hall to-day.  Overton at Hull
+do stand out, but can, it is thought, do nothing; and Lawson, it is said,
+is gone with some ships thither, but all that is nothing.  My Lord told
+me, that there was great endeavours to bring in the Protector again; but
+he told me, too, that he did believe it would not last long if he were
+brought in; no, nor the King neither (though he seems to think that he
+will come in), unless he carry himself very soberly and well.  Every body
+now drinks the King's health without any fear, whereas before it was very
+private that a man dare do it.  Monk this day is feasted at Mercers'
+Hall, and is invited one after another to all the twelve Halls in London!
+Many think that he is honest yet, and some or more think him to be a fool
+that would raise himself, but think that he will undo himself by
+endeavouring it.  My mind, I must needs remember, has been very much
+eased and joyed at my Lord's great expressions of kindness this day, and
+in discourse thereupon my wife and I lay awake an hour or two in our bed.
+
+
+
+7th.  (Ash Wednesday.) In the morning I went to my Lord at Mr. Crew's, in
+my way Washington overtook me and told me upon my question whether he
+knew of any place now void that I might have, by power over friends, that
+this day Mr. G. Montagu was to be made 'Custos Rotulorum' for
+Westminster, and that by friends I might get to be named by him Clerk of
+the Peace, with which I was, as I am at all new things, very much joyed,
+so when I came to Mr. Crew's, I spoke to my Lord about it, who told me he
+believed Mr. Montagu had already promised it, and that it was given him
+only that he might gratify one person with the place I look for.  Here,
+among many that were here, I met with Mr. Lynes, the surgeon, who
+promised me some seeds of the sensitive plant.
+
+     [Evelyn, about the same date (August 9th, 1661), "tried several
+     experiments on the sensitive plant and humilis, which contracted
+     with the least touch of the sun through a burning glass, though it
+     rises and opens only when it shines on it"]
+
+I spoke too with Mr. Pierce the surgeon, who gave me great encouragement
+to go to sea with my Lord.  Thence going homewards, my Lord overtook me
+in his coach, and called me in, and so I went with him to St. James's,
+and G. Montagu being gone to White Hall, we walked over the Park thither,
+all the way he discoursing of the times, and of the change of things
+since the last year, and wondering how he could bear with so great
+disappointment as he did.  He did give me the best advice that he could
+what was best for me, whether to stay or go with him, and offered all the
+ways that could be, how he might do me good, with the greatest liberty
+and love that could be.  I left him at Whitehall, and myself went to
+Westminster to my office, whither nothing to do, but I did discourse with
+Mr. Falconbridge about Le Squire's place, and had his consent to get it
+if I could.  I afterwards in the Hall met with W. Simons, who put me in
+the best way how to get it done.  Thence by appointment to the Angel in
+King Street, where Chetwind, Mr. Thomas and Doling were at oysters, and
+beginning Lent this day with a fish dinner.  After dinner Mr. Thomas and
+I by water to London, where I went to Herring's and received the L50 of
+my Lord's upon Frank's bill from Worcester.  I gave in the bill and set
+my hand to his bill.  Thence I went to the Pope's Head Alley and called
+on Adam Chard, and bought a catcall there, it cost me two groats.  Thence
+went and gave him a cup of ale.  After that to the Sun behind the
+Exchange,  where meeting my uncle Wight by the way, took him with me
+thither, and after drinking a health or two round at the Cock (Mr. Thomas
+being gone thither), we parted, he and I homewards, parted at Fleet
+Street, where I found my father newly come home from Brampton very well.
+He left my uncle with his leg very dangerous, and do believe he cannot
+continue in that condition long.  He tells me that my uncle did acquaint
+him very largely what he did intend to do with his estate, to make me his
+heir and give my brother Tom something, and that my father and mother
+should have likewise something, to raise portions for John and Pall.  I
+pray God he may be as good as his word.  Here I staid and supped and so
+home, there being Joyce Norton there and Ch. Glascock.  Going home I
+called at Wotton's and took home a piece of cheese.  At home Mr. Sheply
+sat with me a little while, and so we all to bed.  This news and my
+Lord's great kindness makes me very cheerful within.  I pray God make me
+thankful.  This day, according to order, Sir Arthur [Haselrigge] appeared
+at the House; what was done I know not, but there was all the Rumpers
+almost come to the House to-day.  My Lord did seem to wonder much why
+Lambert was so willing to be put into the Tower, and thinks he has some
+design in it; but I think that he is so poor that he cannot use his
+liberty for debts, if he were at liberty; and so it is as good and better
+for him to be there, than any where else.
+
+
+
+8th.  To Whitehall to bespeak some firing for my father at Short's, and
+likewise to speak to Mr. Blackburne about Batters being gunner in the
+"Wexford."  Then to Westminster Hall, where there was a general damp over
+men's minds and faces upon some of the Officers of the Army being about
+making a remonstrance against Charles Stuart or any single person; but at
+noon it was told, that the General had put a stop to it, so all was well
+again.  Here I met with Jasper, who was to look for me to bring me to my
+Lord at the lobby; whither sending a note to my Lord, he comes out to me
+and gives me direction to look after getting some money for him from the
+Admiralty, seeing that things are so unsafe, that he would not lay out a
+farthing for the State, till he had received some money of theirs.  Home
+about two o'clock, and took my wife by land to Paternoster Row, to buy
+some Paragon for a petticoat and so home again.  In my way meeting Mr.
+Moore, who went home with me while I ate a bit and so back to Whitehall
+again, both of us.  He waited at the Council for Mr. Crew.  I to the
+Admiralty, where I got the order for the money, and have taken care for
+the getting of it assigned upon Mr. Hutchinson, Treasurer for the Navy,
+against tomorrow.  Hence going home I met with Mr. King that belonged to
+the Treasurers at War and took him to Harper's, who told me that he and
+the rest of his fellows are cast out of office by the new Treasurers.
+This afternoon, some of the Officers of the Army, and some of the
+Parliament, had a conference at White Hall to make all right again, but I
+know not what is done.  This noon I met at the Dog tavern Captain Philip
+Holland, with whom I advised how to make some advantage of my Lord's
+going to sea, which he told me might be by having of five or six servants
+entered on board, and I to give them what wages I pleased, and so their
+pay to be mine; he was also very urgent to have me take the Secretary's
+place, that my Lord did proffer me.  At the same time in comes Mr. Wade
+and Mr. Sterry, secretary to the plenipotentiary in Denmark, who brought
+the news of the death of the King of Sweden at Gottenburgh the 3rd of the
+last month, and he told me what a great change he found when he came
+here, the secluded members being restored.  He also spoke very freely of
+Mr. Wades profit, which he made while he was in Zeeland, how he did
+believe that he cheated Mr. Powell, and that he made above L500 on the
+voyage, which Mr. Wade did very angrily deny, though I believe he was
+guilty enough.
+
+
+
+9th.  To my Lord at his lodging, and came to Westminster with him in the
+coach, with Mr. Dudley with him, and he in the Painted Chamber
+
+     [The Painted Chamber, or St. Edward's Chamber, in the old Palace at
+     Westminster.  The first name was given to it from the curious
+     paintings on the walls, and the second from the tradition that
+     Edward the Confessor died in it.]
+
+walked a good while; and I telling him that I was willing and ready to go
+with him to sea, he agreed that I should, and advised me what to write to
+Mr. Downing about it, which I did at my office, that by my Lord's desire
+I offered that my place might for a while be supplied by Mr. Moore, and
+that I and my security should be bound by the same bond for him.  I went
+and dined at Mr. Crew's, where Mr. Hawly comes to me, and I told him the
+business and shewed him the letter promising him L20 a year, which he
+liked very well of.  I did the same to Mr. Moore, which he also took for
+a courtesy.  In the afternoon by coach, taking Mr. Butler with me to the
+Navy Office, about the L500 for my Lord, which I am promised to have to-
+morrow morning.  Then by coach back again, and at White Hall at the
+Council Chamber spoke with my Lord and got him to sign the acquittance
+for the L500, and he also told me that he had spoke to Mr. Blackburne to
+put off Mr. Creed and that I should come to him for direction in the
+employment.  After this Mr. Butler and I to Harper's, where we sat and
+drank for two hours till ten at night; the old woman she was drunk and
+began to talk foolishly in commendation of her son James.  Home and to
+bed.  All night troubled in my thoughts how to order my business upon
+this great change with me that I could not sleep, and being overheated
+with drink I made a promise the next morning to drink no strong drink
+this week, for I find that it makes me sweat and puts me quite out of
+order.  This day it was resolved that the writs do go out in the name of
+the Keepers of the Liberty, and I hear that it is resolved privately that
+a treaty be offered with the King.  And that Monk did check his soldiers
+highly for what they did yesterday.
+
+
+
+10th.  In the morning went to my father's, whom I took in his cutting
+house,--[His father was a tailor, and this was his cutting-out room.]--
+and there I told him my resolution to go to sea with my Lord, and
+consulted with him how to dispose of my wife, and we resolved of letting
+her be at Mr. Bowyer's.  Thence to the Treasurer of the Navy, where I
+received L500 for my Lord, and having left L200 of it with Mr. Rawlinson
+at his house for Sheply, I went with the rest to the Sun tavern on Fish
+Street Hill, where Mr. Hill, Stevens and Mr. Hater of the Navy Office had
+invited me, where we had good discourse and a fine breakfast of Mr.
+Hater.  Then by coach home, where I took occasion to tell my wife of my
+going to sea, who was much troubled at it, and was with some dispute at
+last willing to continue at Mr. Bowyer's in my absence.  After this to
+see Mrs. Jem and paid her maid L7, and then to Mr. Blackburne, who told.
+me what Mr. Creed did say upon the news of my coming into his place, and
+that he did propose to my Lord that there should be two Secretaries,
+which made me go to Sir H. Wright's where my Lord dined and spoke with
+him about it, but he seemed not to agree to the motion.  Hither W. Howe
+comes to me and so to Westminster.  In the way he told me, what I was to
+provide and so forth against my going.  He went with me to my office,
+whither also Mr. Madge comes half foxed and played the fool upon the
+violin that made me weary.  Then to Whitehall and so home and set many of
+my things in order against my going.  My wife was late making of caps for
+me, and the wench making an end of a pair of stockings that she was
+knitting of.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  (Sunday.) All the day busy without my band on, putting up my books
+and things, in order to my going to sea.  At night my wife and I went to
+my father's to supper, where J. Norton and Chas. Glascocke supt with us,
+and after supper home, where the wench had provided all things against
+tomorrow to wash, and so to bed, where I much troubled with my cold and
+coughing.
+
+
+
+12th.  This day the wench rose at two in the morning to wash, and my wife
+and I lay talking a great while.  I by reason of my cold could not tell
+how to sleep.  My wife and I to the Exchange, where we bought a great
+many things, where I left her and went into London, and at Bedells the
+bookseller's at the Temple gate I paid L12 1OS. 6d.  for Mr. Fuller by
+his direction.  So came back and at Wilkinson's found Mr. Sheply and some
+sea people, as the cook of the Nazeby and others, at dinner.  Then to the
+White Horse in King Street, where I got Mr. Buddle's horse to ride to
+Huntsmore to Mr. Bowyer's, where I found him and all well, and willing to
+have my wife come and board with them while I was at sea, which was the
+business I went about.  Here I lay and took a thing for my cold, namely a
+spoonful of honey and a nutmeg scraped into it, by Mr. Bowyer's
+direction, and so took it into my mouth, which I found did do me much
+good.
+
+
+
+13th.  It rained hard and I got up early, and got to London by 8 o'clock
+at my Lord's lodgings, who told me that I was to be secretary, and Creed
+to be deputy treasurer to the Fleet, at which I was troubled, but I could
+not help it.  After that to my father's to look after things, and so at
+my shoemaker's and others.  At night to Whitehall, where I met with
+Simons and Luellin at drink with them at Roberts at Whitehall.  Then to
+the Admiralty, where I talked with Mr. Creed till the Brothers, and they
+were very seemingly willing and glad that I have the place since my Lord
+would dispose of it otherwise than to them.  Home and to bed.  This day
+the Parliament voted all that had been done by the former Rump against
+the House of Lords be void, and to-night that the writs go out without
+any qualification.  Things seem very doubtful what will be the end of
+all; for the Parliament seems to be strong for the King, while the
+soldiers do all talk against.
+
+
+
+14th.  To my Lord, where infinity of applications to him and to me.  To
+my great trouble, my Lord gives me all the papers that was given to him,
+to put in order and give him an account of them.  Here I got half-a-piece
+of a person of Mr. Wright's recommending to my Lord to be Preacher of the
+Speaker frigate.  I went hence to St. James's and Mr. Pierce the surgeon
+with me, to speak with Mr. Clerke,  Monk's secretary, about getting some
+soldiers removed out of Huntingdon to Oundle, which my Lord told me he
+did to do a courtesy to the town, that he might have the greater interest
+in them, in the choice of the next Parliament; not that he intends to be
+chosen himself, but that he might have Mr. G. Montagu and my Lord
+Mandeville chose there in spite of the Bernards.  This done (where I saw
+General Monk and methought he seemed a dull heavy man), he and I to
+Whitehall, where with Luellin we dined at Marsh's.  Coming home telling
+my wife what we had to dinner, she had a mind to some cabbage, and I sent
+for some and she had it.  Went to the Admiralty, where a strange thing
+how I am already courted by the people.  This morning among others that
+came to me I hired a boy of Jenkins of Westminster and Burr to be my
+clerk.  This night I went to Mr. Creed's chamber where he gave me the
+former book of the proceedings in the fleet and the Seal.  Then to
+Harper's where old Beard was and I took him by coach to my Lord's, but he
+was not at home, but afterwards I found him out at Sir H. Wright's.
+Thence by coach, it raining hard, to Mrs. Jem, where I staid a while, and
+so home, and late in the night put up my things in a sea-chest that Mr.
+Sheply lent me, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+15th.  Early packing up my things to be sent by cart with the rest of my
+Lord's.  So to Will's, where I took leave of some of my friends.  Here I
+met Tom Alcock, one that went to school with me at Huntingdon, but I had
+not seen him these sixteen years.  So in the Hall paid and made even with
+Mrs. Michell; afterwards met with old Beale, and at the Axe paid him this
+quarter to Ladyday next.  In the afternoon Dick Mathews comes to dine,
+and I went and drank with him at Harper's.  So into London by water, and
+in Fish Street my wife and I bought a bit of salmon for 8d. and went to
+the Sun Tavern and ate it, where I did promise to give her all that I
+have in the world but my books, in case I should die at sea.  From thence
+homewards; in the way my wife bought linen for three smocks and other
+things.  I went to my Lord's and spoke with him.  So home with Mrs. Jem
+by coach and then home to my own house.  From thence to the Fox in King-
+street to supper on a brave turkey of Mr. Hawly's, with some friends of
+his there, Will Bowyer, &c.  After supper I went to Westminster Hall, and
+the Parliament sat till ten at night, thinking and being expected to
+dissolve themselves to-day, but they did not.  Great talk to-night that
+the discontented officers did think this night to make a stir, but
+prevented.  To the Fox again.  Home with my wife, and to bed
+extraordinary sleepy.
+
+
+
+16th.  No sooner out of bed but troubled with abundance of clients,
+seamen.  My landlord Vanly's man came to me by my direction yesterday,
+for I was there at his house as I was going to London by water, and I
+paid him rent for my house for this quarter ending at Lady day, and took
+an acquittance that he wrote me from his master.  Then to Mr. Sheply, to
+the Rhenish Tavern House, where Mr. Pim, the tailor, was, and gave us a
+morning draft and a neat's tongue.  Home and with my wife to London, we
+dined at my father's, where Joyce Norton and Mr. Armiger dined also.
+After dinner my wife took leave of them in order to her going to-morrow
+to Huntsmore.  In my way home I went to the Chapel in Chancery Lane to
+bespeak papers of all sorts and other things belonging to writing against
+my voyage.  So home, where I spent an hour or two about my business in my
+study.  Thence to the Admiralty, and staid a while, so home again, where
+Will Bowyer came to tell us that he would bear my wife company in the
+coach to-morrow.  Then to Westminster Hall, where I heard how the
+Parliament had this day dissolved themselves, and did pass very
+cheerfully through the Hall, and the Speaker without his mace.  The whole
+Hall was joyful thereat, as well as themselves, and now they begin to
+talk loud of the King.  To-night I am told, that yesterday, about five
+o'clock in the afternoon, one came with a ladder to the Great Exchange,
+and wiped with a brush the inscription that was upon King Charles, and
+that there was a great bonfire made in the Exchange, and people called
+out "God bless.  King Charles the Second!"
+
+     ["Then the writing in golden letters, that was engraven under the
+     statue of Charles I, in the Royal Exchange ('Exit tyrannus, Regum
+     ultimus, anno libertatis Angliae, anno Domini 1648, Januarie xxx.)
+     was washed out by a painter, who in the day time raised a ladder,
+     and with a pot and brush washed the writing quite out, threw down
+     his pot and brush and said it should never do him any more service,
+     in regard that it had the honour to put out rebels' hand-writing.
+     He then came down, took away his ladder, not a misword said to him,
+     and by whose order it was done was not then known.  The merchants
+     were glad and joyful, many people were gathered together, and
+     against the Exchange made a bonfire. "Rugge's Diurnal.  In the
+     Thomason Collection of Civil War Tracts at the British Museum is a
+     pamphlet which is dated in MS. March 21st, 1659-60, where this act
+     is said to be by order of Monk: "The Loyal Subjects Teares for the
+     Sufferings and Absence of their Sovereign Charles II., King of
+     England, Scotland, and Ireland; with an Observation upon the
+     expunging of 'Exit Tyrannus, Regum ultimus', by order of General
+     Monk, and some Advice to the Independents, Anabaptists, Phanatiques,
+     &c.  London, 1660."]
+
+From the Hall I went home to bed, very sad in mind to part with my wife,
+but God's will be done.
+
+
+
+17th.  This morning bade adieu in bed to the company of my wife.  We rose
+and I gave my wife some money to serve her for a time, and what papers of
+consequence I had.  Then I left her to get her ready and went to my
+Lord's with my boy Eliezer to my Lord's lodging at Mr. Crew's.  Here I
+had much business with my Lord, and papers, great store, given me by my
+Lord to dispose of as of the rest.  After that, with Mr. Moore home to my
+house and took my wife by coach to the Chequer in Holborn, where, after
+we had drank, &c., she took coach and so farewell.  I staid behind with
+Tom Alcock and Mr. Anderson, my old chamber fellow at Cambridge his
+brother, and drank with them there, who were come to me thither about one
+that would have a place at sea.  Thence with Mr. Hawly to dinner at Mr.
+Crew's.  After dinner to my own house, where all things were put up into
+the dining-room and locked up, and my wife took the keys along with her.
+
+This day, in the presence of Mr. Moore (who made it) and Mr. Hawly, I did
+before I went out with my wife, seal my will to her, whereby I did give
+her all that I have in the world, but my books which I give to my brother
+John, excepting only French books, which my wife is to have.  In the
+evening at the Admiralty, I met my Lord there and got a commission for
+Williamson to be captain of the Harp frigate, and afterwards went by
+coach taking Mr. Crips with me to my Lord and got him to sign it at table
+as he was at supper.  And so to Westminster back again with him with me,
+who had a great desire to go to sea and my Lord told me that he would do
+him any favour.  So I went home with him to his mother's house by me in
+Axe Yard, where I found Dr. Clodius's wife and sat there talking and
+hearing of old Mrs. Crisp playing of her old lessons upon the harpsichon
+till it was time to go to bed.  After that to bed, and Laud, her son lay
+with me in the best chamber in her house, which indeed was finely
+furnished.
+
+
+
+18th.  I rose early and went to the barber's (Jervas) in Palace Yard and
+I was trimmed by him, and afterwards drank with him a cup or two of ale,
+and did begin to hire his man to go with me to sea.  Then to my Lord's
+lodging where I found Captain Williamson and gave him his commission to
+be Captain of the Harp, and he gave me a piece of gold and 20s. in
+silver.  So to my own house, where I staid a while and then to dinner
+with Mr. Shepley at my Lord's lodgings.  After that to Mr. Mossum's,
+where he made a very gallant sermon upon "Pray for the life of the King
+and the King's son."  (Ezra vi. 10.) From thence to Mr. Crew's, but my
+Lord not being within I did not stay, but went away and met with Mr.
+Woodfine, who took me to an alehouse in Drury Lane, and we sat and drank
+together, and ate toasted cakes which were very good, and we had a great
+deal of mirth with the mistress of the house about them.  From thence
+homewards, and called at Mr. Blagrave's, where I took up my note that he
+had of mine for 40s., which he two years ago did give me as a pawn while
+he had my lute.  So that all things are even between him and I.  So to
+Mrs. Crisp, where she and her daughter and son and I sat talking till ten
+o'clock at night, I giving them the best advice that I could concerning
+their son, how he should go to sea, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  Early to my Lord, where infinity of business to do, which makes my
+head full; and indeed, for these two or three days, I have not been
+without a great many cares and thoughts concerning them.  After that to
+the Admiralty, where a good while with Mr. Blackburne, who told me that
+it was much to be feared that the King would come in, for all good men
+and good things were now discouraged.  Thence to Wilkinson's, where Mr.
+Sheply and I dined; and while we were at dinner, my Lord Monk's lifeguard
+come by with the Serjeant at Arms before them, with two Proclamations,
+that all Cavaliers do depart the town; but the other that all officers
+that were lately disbanded should do the same.  The last of which Mr. R.
+Creed, I remember, said, that he looked upon it as if they had said, that
+all God's people should depart the town.  Thence with some sea officers
+to the Swan, where we drank wine till one comes to me to pay me some
+money from Worcester, viz., L25.  His name is Wilday.  I sat in another
+room and took my money and drank with him till the rest of my company
+were gone and so we parted.  Going home the water was high, and so I got
+Crockford to carry me over it.  So home, and left my money there.  All
+the discourse now-a-day is, that the King will come again; and for all I
+see, it is the wishes of all; and all do believe that it will be so.  My
+mind is still much troubled for my poor wife, but I hope that this
+undertaking will be worth my pains.  To Whitehall and staid about
+business at the Admiralty late, then to Tony Robins's, where Capt.
+Stokes, Mr. Luddington and others were, and I did solicit the Captain for
+Laud Crisp, who gave me a promise that he would entertain him.  After
+that to Mrs. Crisp's where Dr. Clodius and his wife were.  He very merry
+with drink.  We played at cards late and so to bed. This day my Lord
+dined at my Lord Mayor's [Allen], and Jasper was made drunk, which my
+Lord was very angry at.
+
+
+
+20th. This morning I rose early and went to my house to put things in a
+little order against my going, which I conceive will be to-morrow (the
+weather still very rainy).  After that to my Lord, where I found very
+great deal of business, he giving me all letters and papers that come to
+him about business, for me to give him account of when we come on
+shipboard.  Hence with Capt. Isham by coach to Whitehall to the
+Admiralty.  He and I and Chetwind, Doling and Luellin dined together at
+Marsh's at Whitehall.  So to the Bull Head whither W. Simons comes to us
+and I gave them my foy
+
+     [Foy. A feast given by one who is about to leave a place.  In Kent,
+     according to Grose, a treat to friends, either at going abroad or
+     coming home.  See Diary, November 25th, 1661.]
+
+against my going to sea; and so we took leave one of another, they
+promising me to write to me to sea.  Hither comes Pim's boy, by my
+direction, with two monteeres--[Monteeres, montero (Spanish), a kind of
+huntsman's cap.]--for me to take my choice of, and I chose the saddest
+colour and left the other for Mr. Sheply.  Hence by coach to London, and
+took a short melancholy leave of my father and mother, without having
+them to drink, or say anything of business one to another.  And indeed I
+had a fear upon me I should scarce ever see my mother again, she having a
+great cold then upon her.  Then to Westminster, where by reason of rain
+and an easterly wind, the water was so high that there was boats rowed in
+King Street and all our yard was drowned, that one could not go to my
+house, so as no man has seen the like almost, most houses full of water.
+
+     ["In this month the wind was very high, and caused great tides, so
+     that great hurt was done to the inhabitants of Westminster, King
+     Street being quite drowned.  The Maidenhead boat was cast away, and
+     twelve persons with her.  Also, about Dover the waters brake in upon
+     the mainland; and in Kent was very much damage done; so that report
+     said, there was L20,000 worth of harm done."--Rugge's Diurnal.--B.]
+
+Then back by coach to my Lord's; where I met Mr. Sheply, who staid with
+me waiting for my Lord's coming in till very late.  Then he and I, and
+William Howe went with our swords to bring my Lord home from Sir H.
+Wright's.  He resolved to go to-morrow if the wind ceased.  Sheply and I
+home by coach.  I to Mrs. Crisp's, who had sat over a good supper long
+looking for me.  So we sat talking and laughing till it was very late,
+and so Laud and I to bed.
+
+
+
+21st.  To my Lord's, but the wind very high against us, and the weather
+bad we could not go to-day; here I did very much business, and then to my
+Lord Widdrington's from my Lord, with his desire that he might have the
+disposal of the writs of the Cinque Ports.  My Lord was very civil to me,
+and called for wine, and writ a long letter in answer.  Thence I went to
+a tavern over against Mr. Pierce's with judge Advocate Fowler and Mr.
+Burr, and sat and drank with them two or three pints of wine.  After that
+to Mr. Crew's again and gave my Lord an account of what I had done, and
+so about my business to take leave of my father and mother, which by a
+mistake I have put down yesterday.  Thence to Westminster to Crisp's,
+where we were very merry; the old woman sent for a supper for me, and
+gave me a handkercher with strawberry buttons on it, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up very early and set things in order at my house, and so took
+leave of Mrs. Crispe and her daughter (who was in bed) and of Mrs. Hunt.
+Then to my Lord's lodging at the gate and did so there, where Mr. Hawly
+came to me and I gave him the key of my house to keep, and he went with
+me to Mr. Crew's, and there I took my last leave of him.  But the weather
+continuing very bad my Lord would not go to-day.  My Lord spent this
+morning private in sealing of his last will and testament with Mr. W.
+Mountagu.  After that I went forth about my own business to buy a pair of
+riding grey serge stockings and sword and belt and hose, and after that
+took Wotton and Brigden to the Pope's Head Tavern in Chancery Lane, where
+Gilb. Holland and Shelston were, and we dined and drank a great deal of
+wine, and they paid all.  Strange how these people do now promise me
+anything; one a rapier, the other a vessel of wine or a gun, and one
+offered me his silver hatband to do him a courtesy.  I pray God to keep
+me from being proud or too much lifted up hereby.  After that to
+Westminster, and took leave of Kate Sterpin who was very sorry to part
+with me, and after that of Mr. George Mountagu, and received my warrant
+of Mr. Blackburne, to be Secretary to the two Generals of the Fleet.
+Then to take my leave of the Clerks of the Council, and thence Doling and
+Luellin would have me go with them to Mount's chamber, where we sat and
+talked and then I went away.  So to my Lord (in my way meeting Chetwind
+and Swan and bade them farewell) where I lay all night with Mr. Andrews.
+This day Mr. Sheply went away on board and I sent my boy with him.  This
+day also Mrs. Jemimah went to Marrowbone, so I could not see her.  Mr.
+Moore being out of town to-night I could not take leave of him nor speak
+to him about business which troubled me much.  I left my small case
+therefore with Mr. Andrews for him.
+
+
+
+23rd.  Up early, carried my Lord's will in a black box to Mr. William
+Montagu for him to keep for him.  Then to the barber's and put on my
+cravat there.  So to my Lord again, who was almost ready to be gone and
+had staid for me.  Hither came Gilb. Holland, and brought me a stick
+rapier and Shelston a sugar-loaf, and had brought his wife who he said
+was a very pretty woman to the Ship tavern hard by for me to see but I
+could not go.  Young Reeve also brought me a little perspective glass
+which I bought for my Lord, it cost me 8s.  So after that my Lord in Sir
+H. Wright's coach with Captain Isham, Mr. Thomas, John Crew, W. Howe, and
+I in a Hackney to the Tower, where the barges staid for us; my Lord and
+the Captain in one, and W. Howe and I, &c., in the other, to the Long
+Reach, where the Swiftsure lay at anchor; (in our way we saw the great
+breach which the late high water had made, to the loss of many L1000 to
+the people about Limehouse.)  Soon as my Lord on board, the guns went off
+bravely from the ships.  And a little while after comes the Vice-Admiral
+Lawson, and seemed very respectful to my Lord, and so did the rest of the
+Commanders of the frigates that were thereabouts.  I to the cabin
+allotted for me, which was the best that any had that belonged to my
+Lord.  I got out some things out of my chest for writing and to work
+presently, Mr, Burr and I both.  I supped at the deck table with Mr.
+Sheply.  We were late writing of orders for the getting of ships ready,
+&c.; and also making of others to all the seaports between Hastings and
+Yarmouth, to stop all dangerous persons that are going or coming between
+Flanders and there.  After that to bed in my cabin, which was but short;
+however I made shift with it and slept very well, and the weather being
+good I was not sick at all yet, I know not what I shall be.
+
+
+
+24th.  At work hard all the day writing letters to the Council, &c.  This
+day Mr. Creed came on: board and dined very boldly with my Lord, but he
+could not get a bed there.  At night Capt.  Isham who had been at
+Gravesend all last night and to-day came and brought Mr. Lucy (one
+acquainted with Mrs. Pierce, with whom I had been at her house), I drank
+with him in the Captain's cabin, but my business could not stay with him.
+I despatch many letters to-day abroad and it was late before we could get
+to bed.  Mr. Sheply and Howe supped with me in my cabin.  The boy Eliezer
+flung down a can of beer upon my papers which made me give him a box of
+the ear, it having all spoiled my papers and cost me a great deal of
+work.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+25th.  (Lord's day).  About two o'clock in the morning, letters came from
+London by our coxon, so they waked me, but I would not rise but bid him
+stay till morning, which he did, and then I rose and carried them in to
+my Lord, who read them a-bed.  Among the rest, there was the writ and
+mandate for him to dispose to the Cinque Ports for choice of
+Parliament-men.  There was also one for me from Mr. Blackburne, who with
+his own hand superscribes it to S.P. Esq., of which God knows I was not a
+little proud.  After that I wrote a letter to the Clerk of Dover Castle,
+to come to my Lord about issuing of those writs.  About ten o'clock Mr.
+Ibbott, at the end of the long table, begun to pray and preach and indeed
+made a very good sermon, upon the duty of all Christians to be stedfast
+in faith.  After that Captain Cuttance and I had oysters, my Lord being
+in his cabin not intending to stir out to-day.  After that up into the
+great cabin above to dinner with the Captain, where was Captain Isham and
+all the officers of the ship.  I took place of all but the Captains;
+after dinner I wrote a great many letters to my friends at London.  After
+that, sermon again, at which I slept, God forgive me!  After that, it
+being a fair day, I walked with the Captain upon the deck talking.  At
+night I supped with him and after that had orders from my Lord about some
+business to be done against to-morrow, which I sat up late and did and
+then to bed.
+
+
+
+26th.  This day it is two years since it pleased God that I was cut of
+the stone at Mrs. Turner's in Salisbury Court.  And did resolve while I
+live to keep it a festival, as I did the last year at my house, and for
+ever to have Mrs. Turner and her company with me.  But now it pleases God
+that I am where I am and so prevented to do it openly; only within my
+soul I can and do rejoice, and bless God, being at this time blessed be
+his holy name, in as good health as ever I was in my life.  This morning
+I rose early, and went about making of an establishment of the whole
+Fleet, and a list of all the ships, with the number of men and guns:
+About an hour after that, we had a meeting of the principal commanders
+and seamen, to proportion out the number of these things.  After that to
+dinner, there being very many commanders on board.  All the afternoon
+very many orders were made, till I was very weary.  At night Mr. Sheply
+and W. Howe came and brought some bottles of wine and some things to eat
+in my cabin, where we were very merry, remembering the day of being cut
+for the stone.  Captain Cuttance came afterwards and sat drinking a
+bottle of wine till eleven, a kindness he do not usually do the greatest
+officer in the ship. After that to bed.
+
+
+
+27th.  Early in the morning at making a fair new establishment of the
+Fleet to send to the Council.  This morning, the wind came about, and we
+fell into the Hope,--[A reach of the Thames near Tilbury.]-- and in our
+passing by the Vice-Admiral, he and the rest of the frigates, with him,
+did give us abundance of guns and we them, so much that the report of
+them broke all the windows in my cabin and broke off the iron bar that
+was upon it to keep anybody from creeping in at the Scuttle.--["A small
+hole or port cut either in the deck or side of a ship, generally for
+ventilation. That in the deck is a small hatch-way."--Smyth's Sailor's
+Word-Book.]--This noon I sat the first time with my Lord at table since
+my coming to sea.  All the afternoon exceeding busy in writing of letters
+and orders.  In the afternoon, Sir Harry Wright came onboard us, about
+his business of being chosen Parliament-man.  My Lord brought him to see
+my cabin, when I was hard a-writing.  At night supped with my Lord too,
+with the Captain, and after that to work again till it be very late.  So
+to bed.
+
+
+
+28th.  This morning and the whole day busy, and that the more because Mr.
+Burr was about his own business all the day at Gravesend.  At night there
+was a gentleman very well bred, his name was Banes, going for Flushing,
+who spoke French and Latin very well, brought by direction from Captain
+Clerke  hither, as a prisoner, because he called out of the vessel that
+he went in, "Where is your King, we have done our business, Vive le Roi."
+He confessed himself a Cavalier in his heart, and that he and his whole
+family had fought for the King; but that he was then drunk, having been
+all night taking his leave at Gravesend the night before, and so could
+not remember what it was that he said; but in his words and carriage
+showed much of a gentleman.  My Lord had a great kindness for him, but
+did not think it safe to release him, but commanded him to be used
+civilly, so he was taken to the Master's Cabin and had supper there.
+In the meantime I wrote a letter to the Council about him, and an order
+for the vessel to be sent for back that he was taken out of.  But a while
+after, he sent a letter down to my Lord, which my Lord did like very
+well, and did advise with me what was best to be done.  So I put in
+something to my Lord and then to the Captain that the gentleman was to be
+released and the letter stopped, which was done.  So I went up and sat
+and talked with him in Latin and French, and drank a bottle or two with
+him; and about eleven at night he took boat again, and so God bless him.
+Thence I to my cabin and to bed.  This day we had news of the election at
+Huntingdon for Bernard and Pedly, at which my Lord was much troubled for
+his friends' missing of it.
+
+
+
+29th.  We lie still a little below Gravesend.  At night Mr. Sheply
+returned from London, and told us of several elections for the next
+Parliament.  That the King's effigies was new making to be set up in the
+Exchange again.  This evening was a great whispering of some of the Vice-
+Admiral's captains that they were dissatisfied, and did intend to fight
+themselves, to oppose the General.  But it was soon hushed, and the Vice-
+Admiral did wholly deny any such thing, and protested to stand by the
+General.  At night Mr. Sheply, W. Howe, and I supped in my cabin.  So up
+to the Master's cabin, where we sat talking, and then to bed.
+
+
+
+30th.  I was saluted in the morning with two letters, from some that I
+had done a favour to, which brought me in each a piece of gold.  This
+day, while my Lord and we were at dinner, the Nazeby came in sight
+towards us, and at last came to anchor close by us.  After dinner my Lord
+and many others went on board her, where every thing was out of order,
+and a new chimney made for my Lord in his bedchamber, which he was much
+pleased with.  My Lord, in his discourse, discovered a great deal of love
+to this ship.
+
+
+
+31st.  This morning Captain Jowles of the "Wexford" came on board, for
+whom I got commission from my Lord to be commander of the ship.  Upon the
+doing thereof he was to make the 20s. piece that he sent me yesterday, up
+L5; wherefore he sent me a bill that he did owe me L4., which I sent my
+boy to Gravesend with him, and he did give the boy L4 for me, and the boy
+gave him the bill under his hand.  This morning, Mr. Hill that lives in
+Axe-yard was here on board with the Vice-Admiral.  I did give him a
+bottle of wine, and was exceedingly satisfied of the power that I have to
+make my friends welcome.  Many orders to make all the afternoon.  At
+night Mr. Sheply, Howe, Ibbott, and I supped in my cabin together.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                 APRIL
+                                 1660
+
+
+April 1st (Lord's day).  Mr. Ibbott preached very well.  After dinner my
+Lord did give me a private list of all the ships that were to be set out
+this summer, wherein I do discern that he bath made it his care to put by
+as much of the Anabaptists as he can.  By reason of my Lord and my being
+busy to send away the packet by Mr. Cooke of the Nazeby, it was four
+o'clock before we could begin sermon again.  This day Captain Guy come on
+board from Dunkirk, who tells me that the King will come in, and that the
+soldiers at Dunkirk do drink the King's health in the streets.  At night
+the Captain, Sir R. Stayner, Mr. Sheply, and I did sup together in the
+Captain's cabin.  I made a commission for Captain Wilgness, of the Bear,
+to-night, which got me 30s.  So after writing a while I went to bed.
+
+
+
+2d.  Up very early, and to get all my things and my boy's packed up.
+Great concourse of commanders here this morning to take leave of my Lord
+upon his going into the Nazeby, so that the table was full, so there
+dined below many commanders, and Mr. Creed, who was much troubled to hear
+that he could not go along with my Lord, for he had already got all his
+things thither, thinking to stay there, but W. Howe was very high against
+it, and he indeed did put him out, though everybody was glad of it.
+After dinner I went in one of the boats with my boy before my Lord, and
+made shift before night to get my cabin in pretty good order.  It is but
+little, but very convenient, having one window to the sea and another to
+the deck, and a good bed.  This morning comes Mr. Ed. Pickering, like a
+coxcomb as he always was.  He tells me that the King will come in, but
+that Monk did resolve to have the doing of it himself, or else to hinder
+it.
+
+
+
+3d.  Late to bed.  About three in the morning there was great knocking at
+my cabin, which with much difficulty (so they say) waked me, and I rose,
+but it was only for a packet, so went to my bed again, and in the morning
+gave it my Lord.  This morning Capt. Isham comes on board to see my Lord
+and drunk his wine before he went into the Downs, there likewise come
+many merchants to get convoy to the Baltique, which a course was taken
+for.  They dined with my Lord, and one of them by name Alderman Wood
+talked much to my Lord of the hopes that we have now to be settled,
+(under the King he meant); but my Lord took no notice of it.  After
+dinner which was late my Lord went on shore, and after him I and Capt.
+Sparling went in his boat, but the water being almost at low water we
+could not stay for fear of not getting into our boat again.  So back
+again.  This day come the Lieutenant of the Swiftsure, who was sent by my
+Lord to Hastings, one of the Cinque Ports, to have got Mr. Edward Montagu
+to have been one of their burgesses, but could not, for they were all
+promised before.  After he had done his message, I took him and Mr.
+Pierce, the surgeon (who this day came on board, and not before), to my
+cabin, where we drank a bottle of wine.  At night, busy a-writing, and so
+to bed.  My heart exceeding heavy for not hearing of my dear wife, and
+indeed I do not remember that ever my heart was so apprehensive of her
+absence as at this very time.
+
+
+
+4th.  This morning I dispatch many letters of my own private business to
+London.  There come Colonel Thomson with the wooden leg, and General Pen,
+
+     [This is the first mention in the Diary of Admiral (afterwards Sir
+     William) Penn, with whom Pepys was subsequently so particularly
+     intimate.  At this time admirals were sometimes styled generals.
+     William Penn was born at Bristol in 1621, of the ancient family of
+     the Penns of Penn Lodge, Wilts.  He was Captain at the age of
+     twenty-one; Rear-Admiral of Ireland at twenty-three; Vice-Admiral of
+     England and General in the first Dutch war, at thirty-two.  He was
+     subsequently M.P. for Weymouth, Governor of Kingsale, and Vice-
+     Admiral of Munster.  He was a highly successful commander, and in
+     1654 he obtained possession of Jamaica.  He was appointed a
+     Commissioner of the Navy in 1660, in which year he was knighted.
+     After the Dutch fight in 1665, where he distinguished himself as
+     second in command under the Duke of York, he took leave of the sea,
+     but continued to act as a Commissioner for the Navy till 1669, when
+     he retired to Wanstead, on account of his bodily infirmities, and
+     dying there, September 16th, 1670, aged forty-nine, was buried in
+     the church of St. Mary Redcliffe, in Bristol, where a monument to
+     his memory was erected.]
+
+and dined with my Lord and Mr. Blackburne, who told me that it was
+certain now that the King must of necessity come in, and that one of the
+Council told him there is something doing in order to a treaty already
+among them.  And it was strange to hear how Mr. Blackburne did already
+begin to commend him for a sober man, and how quiet he would be under his
+government, &c.  I dined all alone to prevent company, which was
+exceeding great to-day, in my cabin.  After these two were gone Sir W.
+Wheeler and Sir John Petters came on board and staid about two or three
+hours, and so went away.  The Commissioners came to-day, only to consult
+about a further reducement of the Fleet, and to pay them as fast as they
+can.  I did give Davis, their servant, L5 10s.  to give to Mr. Moore from
+me, in part of the L7 that I borrowed of him, and he is to discount the
+rest out of the 36s. that he do owe me.  At night, my Lord resolved to
+send the Captain of our ship to Waymouth and promote his being chosen
+there, which he did put himself into a readiness to do the next morning.
+
+
+
+5th.  Infinity of business all the morning of orders to make, that I was
+very much perplexed that Mr. Burr had failed me of coming back last
+night, and we ready to set sail, which we did about noon, and came in the
+evening to Lee roads and anchored.  At night Mr. Sheply overtook us who
+had been at Gray's Market this morning.  I spent all the afternoon upon
+the deck, it being very pleasant weather.  This afternoon Sir Rich.
+Stayner and Mr. Creed, after we were come to anchor, did come on board,
+and Creed brought me L30, which my Lord had ordered him to pay me upon
+account, and Captain Clerke brought me a noted caudle.  At night very
+sleepy to bed.
+
+
+
+6th.  This morning came my brother-in-law Balty to see me, and to desire
+to be here with me as Reformado,--["a broken or disbanded officer."]
+which did much trouble me.  But after dinner (my Lord using him very
+civilly, at table) I spoke to my Lord, and he presented me a letter to
+Captain Stokes for him that he should be there.  All the day with him
+walking and talking, we under sail as far as the Spitts.  In the
+afternoon, W. Howe and I to our viallins, the first time since we came on
+board.  This afternoon I made even with my Lord to this day, and did give
+him all the money remaining in my hands.  In the evening, it being fine
+moonshine, I staid late walking upon the quarter-deck with Mr. Cuttance,
+learning of some sea terms; and so down to supper and to bed, having an
+hour before put Balty into Burr's cabin, he being out of the ship.
+
+
+
+7th.  This day, about nine o'clock in the morning, the wind grew high,
+and we being among the sands lay at anchor; I began to be dizzy and
+squeamish.  Before dinner my Lord sent for me down to eat some oysters,
+the best my Lord said that ever he ate in his life, though I have ate as
+good at Bardsey.  After dinner, and all the afternoon I walked upon the
+deck to keep myself from being sick, and at last about five o'clock, went
+to bed and got a caudle made me, and sleep upon it very well.  This day
+Mr. Sheply went to Sheppy.
+
+
+
+8th (Lord's day).  Very calm again, and I pretty well, but my head aked
+all day.  About noon set sail; in our way I see many vessels and masts,
+which are now the greatest guides for ships.  We had a brave wind all the
+afternoon, and overtook two good merchantmen that overtook us yesterday,
+going to the East Indies.  The lieutenant and I lay out of his window
+with his glass, looking at the women that were on board them, being
+pretty handsome.  This evening Major Willoughby, who had been here three
+or four days on board with Mr. Pickering, went on board a catch [ketch]
+for Dunkirk.  We continued sailing when I went to bed, being somewhat ill
+again, and Will Howe, the surgeon, parson, and Balty supped in the
+Lieutenant's cabin and afterwards sat disputing, the parson for and I
+against extemporary prayers, very hot.
+
+
+
+9th.  We having sailed all night, were come in sight of the Nore and
+South Forelands in the morning, and so sailed all day.  In the afternoon
+we had a very fresh gale, which I brooked better than I thought I should
+be able to do.  This afternoon I first saw France and Calais, with which
+I was much pleased, though it was at a distance.  About five o'clock we
+came to the Goodwin, so to the Castles about Deal; where our Fleet lay,
+among whom we anchored.  Great was the shout of guns from the castles and
+ships, and our answers, that I never heard yet so great rattling of guns.
+Nor could we see one another on board for the smoke that was among us,
+nor one ship from another.  Soon as we came to anchor, the captains came
+from on board their ships all to us on board.  This afternoon I wrote
+letters for my Lord to the Council, &c., which Mr. Dickering was to
+carry, who took his leave this night of my Lord, and Balty after I had
+wrote two or three letters by him to my wife and Mr. Bowyer, and had
+drank a bottle of wine with him in my cabin which J. Goods and W. Howe
+brought on purpose, he took leave of me too to go away to-morrow morning
+with Mr. Dickering.  I lent Balty 15s. which he was to pay to my wife.
+It was one in the morning before we parted.  This evening Mr. Sheply came
+on board, having escaped a very great danger upon a sand coming from
+Chatham.
+
+
+
+10th.  This morning many or most of the commanders in the Fleet came on
+board and dined here, so that some of them and I dined together in the
+Round-house, where we were very merry.  Hither came the Vice-Admiral to
+us, and sat and talked and seemed a very good-natured man.  At night as I
+was all alone in my cabin, in a melancholy fit playing on my viallin, my
+Lord and Sir R. Stayner came into the coach
+
+     ["A sort of chamber or apartment in a large ship of war, just before
+     the great cabin.  The floor of it is formed by the aftmost part of
+     the quarter deck, and the roof of it by the poop: it is generally
+     the habitation of the flag-captain."--Smyth's Sailor's Word-Book.]
+
+and supped there, and called me out to supper with them.  After that up
+to the Lieutenant's cabin, where he and I and Sir Richard sat till 11
+o'clock talking, and so to bed.  This day my Lord Goring returned from
+France, and landed at Dover.
+
+
+
+11th.  A Gentleman came this morning from my Lord of Manchester to my
+Lord for a pass for Mr. Boyle,' which was made him.  I ate a good
+breakfast by my Lord's orders with him in the great cabin below.  The
+wind all this day was very high, so that a gentleman that was at dinner
+with my Lord that came along with Sir John Bloys (who seemed a fine man)
+was forced to rise from table.  This afternoon came a great packet of
+letters from London directed to me, among the rest two from my wife, the
+first that I have since coming away from London.  All the news from
+London is that things go on further towards a King.  That the Skinners'
+Company the other day at their entertaining of General Monk had took down
+the Parliament Arms in their Hall, and set up the King's.  In the evening
+my Lord and I had a great deal of discourse about the several Captains of
+the Fleet and his interest among them, and had his mind clear to bring in
+the King.  He confessed to me that he was not sure of his own Captain
+[Cuttance] to be true to him, and that he did not like Captain Stokes.
+At night W. Howe and I at our viallins in my cabin, where Mr. Ibbott and
+the lieutenant were late.  I staid the lieutenant late, shewing him my
+manner of keeping a journal.  After that to bed.  It comes now into my
+mind to observe that I am sensible that I have been a little too free to
+make mirth with the minister of our ship, he being a very sober and an
+upright man.
+
+
+
+12th.  This day, the weather being very bad, we had no strangers on
+board.  In the afternoon came the Vice-Admiral on board, with whom my
+Lord consulted, and I sent a packet to London at night with several
+letters to my friends, as to my wife about my getting of money for her
+when she should need it, to Mr. Bowyer that he tell me when the Messieurs
+of the offices be paid, to Mr. Moore about the business of my office, and
+making even with him as to matter of money.  At night after I had
+despatched my letters, to bed.
+
+
+
+13th.  This day very foul all day for rain and wind.  In the afternoon
+set my own things in my cabin and chests in better order than hitherto,
+and set my papers in order.  At night sent another packet to London by
+the post, and after that was done I went up to the lieutenant's cabin and
+there we broached a vessel of ale that we had sent for among us from Deal
+to-day.  There was the minister and doctor with us.  After that till one
+o'clock in the morning writing letters to Mr. Downing about my business
+of continuing my office to myself, only Mr. Moore to execute it for me.
+I had also a very serious and effectual letter from my Lord to him to
+that purpose.  After that done then to bed, and it being very rainy, and
+the rain coming upon my bed, I went and lay with John Goods in the great
+cabin below, the wind being so high that we were faro to lower some of
+the masts.  I to bed, and what with the goodness of the bed and the
+rocking of the ship I slept till almost ten o'clock, and then--
+
+
+
+14th.  Rose and drank a good morning draught there with Mr. Sheply, which
+occasioned my thinking upon the happy life that I live now, had I nothing
+to care for but myself.  The sea was this morning very high, and looking
+out of the window I saw our boat come with Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, in it
+in great danger, who endeavouring to come on board us, had like to have
+been drowned had it not been for a rope.  This day I was informed that my
+Lord Lambert is got out of the Towers and that there is L100 proffered to
+whoever shall bring him forth to the Council of State.
+
+     [The manner of the escape of John Lambert, out of the Tower, on the
+     11th inst., as related by Rugge:--"That about eight of the clock at
+     night he escaped by a rope tied fast to his window, by which he slid
+     down, and in each hand he had a handkerchief; and six men were ready
+     to receive him, who had a barge to hasten him away.  She who made
+     the bed, being privy to his escape, that night, to blind the warder
+     when he came to lock the chamber-door, went to bed, and possessed
+     Colonel Lambert's place, and put on his night-cap.  So, when the
+     said warder came to lock the door, according to his usual manner, he
+     found the curtains drawn, and conceiving it to be Colonel John
+     Lambert, he said, 'Good night, my Lord.'  To which a seeming voice
+     replied, and prevented all further jealousies.  The next morning, on
+     coming to unlock the door, and espying her face, he cried out, 'In
+     the name of God, Joan, what makes you here?  Where is my Lord
+     Lambert?'  She said, 'He is gone; but I cannot tell whither.'
+     Whereupon he caused her to rise, and carried her before the officer
+     in the Tower, and [she] was committed to custody.  Some said that a
+     lady knit for him a garter of silk, by which he was conveyed down,
+     and that she received L100 for her pains."--B]
+
+My Lord is chosen at Waymouth this morning; my Lord had his freedom
+brought him by Captain Tiddiman of the port of Dover, by which he is
+capable of being elected for them.  This day I heard that the Army had in
+general declared to stand by what the next Parliament shall do.  At night
+supped with my Lord.
+
+15th (Lord's day).  Up early and was trimmed by the barber in the great
+cabin below.  After that to put my clothes on and then to sermon, and
+then to dinner, where my Lord told us that the University of Cambridge
+had a mind to choose him for their burgess, which he pleased himself
+with, to think that they do look upon him as a thriving man, and said so
+openly at table.  At dinner-time Mr. Cook came back from London with a
+packet which caused my Lord to be full of thoughts all day, and at night
+he bid me privately to get two commissions ready, one for Capt. Robert
+Blake to be captain of the Worcester, in the room of Capt. Dekings, an
+anabaptist, and one that had witnessed a great deal of discontent with
+the present proceedings.  The other for Capt. Coppin  to come out of that
+into the Newbury in the room of Blake, whereby I perceive that General
+Monk do resolve to make a thorough change, to make way for the King.
+From London I hear that since Lambert got out of the Tower, the
+Fanatiques had held up their heads high, but I hope all that will come to
+nothing.  Late a writing of letters to London to get ready for Mr. Cook.
+Then to bed.
+
+
+
+16th.  And about 4 o'clock in the morning Mr. Cook waked me where I lay
+in the great cabin below, and I did give him his packet and directions
+for London.  So to sleep again.  All the morning giving out orders and
+tickets to the Commanders of the Fleet to discharge all supernumeraries
+that they had above the number that the Council had set in their last
+establishment.  After dinner busy all the afternoon writing, and so till
+night, then to bed.
+
+
+
+17th.  All the morning getting ready commissions for the Vice-Admiral and
+the Rear-Admiral, wherein my Lord was very careful to express the utmost
+of his own power, commanding them to obey what orders they should receive
+from the Parliament, &c., or both or either of the Generals.
+
+     [Sir Edward Montagu afterwards recommended the Duke of York as High
+     Admiral, to give regular and lawful commissions to the Commanders of
+     the Fleet, instead of those which they had received from Sir Edward
+     himself, or from the Rump Parliament.--Kennett's Register, p. 163.]
+
+The Vice-Admiral dined with us, and in the afternoon my Lord called me to
+give him the commission for him, which I did, and he gave it him himself.
+A very pleasant afternoon, and I upon the deck all the day, it was so
+clear that my Lord's glass shewed us Calais very plain, and the cliffs
+were as plain to be seen as Kent, and my Lord at first made me believe
+that it was Kent.  At night, after supper, my Lord called for the Rear-
+Admiral's commission, which I brought him, and I sitting in my study
+heard my Lord discourse with him concerning D. King's and Newberry's
+being put out of commission.  And by the way I did observe that my Lord
+did speak more openly his mind to me afterwards at night than I can find
+that he did to the Rear-Admiral, though his great confidant.  For I was
+with him an hour together, when he told me clearly his thoughts that the
+King would carry it, and that he did think himself very happy that he was
+now at sea, as well for his own sake, as that he thought he might do his
+country some service in keeping things quiet.  To bed, and shifting
+myself from top to toe, there being J. Goods and W. Howe sat late by my
+bedside talking.  So to sleep, every day bringing me a fresh sense of the
+pleasure of my present life.
+
+
+
+18th.  This morning very early came Mr. Edward Montagu on board, but what
+was the business of his coming again or before without any servant and
+making no stay at all I cannot guess.  This day Sir R. Stayner, Mr.
+Sheply, and as many of my Lord's people as could be spared went to Dover
+to get things ready against to-morrow for the election there.  I all the
+afternoon dictating in my cabin (my own head being troubled with
+multiplicity of business) to Burr, who wrote for me above a dozen
+letters, by which I have made my mind more light and clear than I have
+had it yet since I came on board.  At night sent a packet to London, and
+Mr. Cook returned hence bringing me this news, that the Sectaries do talk
+high what they will do, but I believe all to no purpose, but the
+Cavaliers are something unwise to talk so high on the other side as they
+do.  That the Lords do meet every day at my Lord of Manchester's, and
+resolve to sit the first day of the Parliament.  That it is evident now
+that the General and the Council do resolve to make way for the King's
+coming.  And it is now clear that either the Fanatiques must now be
+undone, or the gentry and citizens throughout England, and clergy must
+fall, in spite of their militia and army, which is not at all possible I
+think.  At night I supped with W. Howe and Mr. Luellin (being the first
+time that I had been so long with him) in the great cabin below.  After
+that to bed, and W. Howe sat by my bedside, and he and I sang a psalm or
+two and so I to sleep.
+
+
+
+19th.  A great deal of business all this day, and Burr being gone to
+shore without my leave did vex me much.  At dinner news was brought us
+that my Lord was chosen at Dover.  This afternoon came one Mr. Mansell on
+board as a Reformado, to whom my Lord did shew exceeding great respect,
+but upon what account I do not yet know.  This day it has rained much, so
+that when I came to go to bed I found it wet through, so I was fain to
+wrap myself up in a dry sheet, and so lay all night.
+
+
+
+20th.  All the morning I was busy to get my window altered, and to have
+my table set as I would have it, which after it was done I was infinitely
+pleased with it, and also to see what a command I have to have every one
+ready to come and go at my command.  This evening came Mr. Boyle on
+board, for whom I writ an order for a ship to transport him to Flushing.
+He supped with my Lord, my Lord using him as a person of honour.  This
+evening too came Mr. John Pickering on board us.  This evening my head
+ached exceedingly, which I impute to my sitting backwards in my cabin,
+otherwise than I am used to do.  To-night Mr. Sheply told me that he
+heard for certain at Dover that Mr. Edw. Montagu did go beyond sea when
+he was here first the other day, and I am apt to believe that he went to
+speak with the King.  This day one told me how that at the election at
+Cambridge for knights of the shire, Wendby and Thornton by declaring to
+stand for the Parliament and a King and the settlement of the Church, did
+carry it against all expectation against Sir Dudley North and Sir Thomas
+Willis!  I supped to-night with Mr. Sheply below at the half-deck table,
+and after that I saw Mr. Pickering whom my Lord brought down to his
+cabin, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+21st.  This day dined Sir John Boys
+
+     [Of Bonnington and Sandwich, Gentleman of the Privy-Chamber to
+     Charles I.  He defended Donnington Castle, Berkshire, for the King
+     against Jeremiah Horton, 1644, and received an augmentation to his
+     arms in consequence.]
+
+and some other gentlemen formerly great Cavaliers, and among the rest one
+Mr. Norwood, for whom my Lord give a convoy to carry him to the Brill,--
+[Brielle, or Den Briel, a seaport town in the province of South Holland.]
+--but he is certainly going to the King.  For my Lord commanded me that I
+should not enter his name in my book.  My Lord do show them and that sort
+of people great civility.  All their discourse and others are of the
+King's coming, and we begin to speak of it very freely.  And heard how in
+many churches in London, and upon many signs there, and upon merchants'
+ships in the river, they had set up the King's arms.  In the afternoon
+the Captain would by all means have me up to his cabin, and there treated
+me huge nobly, giving me a barrel of pickled oysters, and opened another
+for me, and a bottle of wine, which was a very great favour.  At night
+late singing with W. Howe, and under the barber's hands in the coach.
+This night there came one with a letter from Mr. Edw. Montagu to my Lord,
+with command to deliver it to his own hands.  I do believe that he do
+carry some close business on for the King.
+
+     [Pepys's guess at E. Montagu's business is confirmed by Clarendon's
+     account of his employment of him to negotiate with Lord Sandwich on
+     behalf of the King.  ("History of the Rebellion," book xvi.)--Notes
+     and Queries, vol. x.  p. 3--M. B.]
+
+This day I had a large letter from Mr. Moore, giving me an account of the
+present dispute at London that is like to be at the beginning of the
+Parliament, about the House of Lords, who do resolve to sit with the
+Commons, as not thinking themselves dissolved yet.  Which, whether it be
+granted or no, or whether they will sit or no, it will bring a great many
+inconveniences.  His letter I keep, it being a very well writ one.
+
+
+
+22d (Easter Sunday).  Several Londoners, strangers, friends of the
+Captains, dined here, who, among other things told us, how the King's
+Arms are every day set up in houses and churches, particularly in
+Allhallows Church in Thames-street, John Simpson's church, which being
+privately done was, a great eye-sore to his people when they came to
+church and saw it.  Also they told us for certain, that the King's statue
+is making by the Mercers' Company (who are bound to do it) to set up in
+the Exchange.  After sermon in the afternoon I fell to writing letters
+against to-morrow to send to London.  After supper to bed.
+
+
+
+23rd.  All the morning very busy getting my packet ready for London, only
+for an hour or two had the Captain and Mr. Sheply in my cabin at the
+barrel of pickled oysters that the Captain did give me on Saturday last.
+After dinner I sent Mr. Dunn to London with the packet.  This afternoon I
+had 40s. given me by Captain Cowes of the Paradox.' In the evening the
+first time that we had any sport among the seamen, and indeed there was
+extraordinary good sport after my Lord had done playing at ninepins.
+After that W. Howe and I went to play two trebles in the great cabin
+below, which my Lord hearing, after supper he called for our instruments,
+and played a set of Lock's, two trebles, and a base, and that being done,
+he fell to singing of a song made upon the Rump, with which he played
+himself well, to the tune of "The Blacksmith."  After all that done, then
+to bed.
+
+     ["The Blacksmith" was the same tune as "Green Sleeves."  The
+     earliest known copy of "The Praise of the Blacksmith" is in "An
+     Antidote against Melancholy," 1661.  See "Roxburghe Ballads," ed.
+     W. Chappell, 1872, vol. ii.  p. 126.  (Ballad Society:)]
+
+
+
+24th.  This morning I had Mr. Luellin and Mr. Sheply to the remainder of
+my oysters that were left yesterday.  After that very busy all the
+morning.  While I was at dinner with my Lord, the Coxon of the Vice-
+Admiral came for me to the Vice-Admiral to dinner.  So I told my Lord and
+he gave me leave to go.  I rose therefore from table and went, where
+there was very many commanders, and very pleasant we were on board the
+London, which hath a state-room much bigger than the Nazeby, but not so
+rich.  After that, with the Captain on board our own ship, where we were
+saluted with the news of Lambert's being taken, which news was brought to
+London on Sunday last.  He was taken in Northamptonshire by Colonel
+Ingoldsby, at the head of a party, by which means their whole design is
+broke, and things now very open and safe.  And every man begins to be
+merry and full of hopes.  In the afternoon my Lord gave a great large
+character to write out, so I spent all the day about it, and after supper
+my Lord and we had some more very good musique and singing of "Turne
+Amaryllis," as it is printed in the song book, with which my Lord was
+very much pleased.  After that to bed.
+
+
+
+25th.  All the morning about my Lord's character.  Dined to-day with
+Captain Clerke on board the Speaker (a very brave ship) where was the
+Vice-Admiral, Rear-Admiral, and many other commanders.  After dinner
+home, not a little contented to see how I am treated, and with what
+respect made a fellow to the best commanders in the Fleet.  All the
+afternoon finishing of the character, which I did and gave it my Lord,
+it being very handsomely done and a very good one in itself, but that not
+truly Alphabetical.  Supped with Mr. Sheply, W. Howe, &c. in Mr. Pierce,
+the Purser's cabin, where very merry, and so to bed.  Captain Isham came
+hither to-day.
+
+
+
+26th.  This day came Mr. Donne back from London, who brought letters with
+him that signify the meeting of the Parliament yesterday.  And in the
+afternoon by other letters I hear, that about twelve of the Lords met and
+had chosen my Lord of Manchester' Speaker of the House of Lords (the
+young Lords that never sat yet, do forbear to sit for the present); and
+Sir Harbottle Grimstone, Speaker for the House of Commons.  The House of
+Lords sent to have a conference with the House of Commons, which, after a
+little debate, was granted.  Dr. Reynolds' preached before the Commons
+before they sat.  My Lord told me how Sir H. Yelverton (formerly my
+school-fellow) was chosen in the first place for Northamptonshire and Mr.
+Crew in the second.  And told me how he did believe that the Cavaliers
+have now the upper hand clear of the Presbyterians.  All the afternoon I
+was writing of letters, among the rest one to W. Simons, Peter Luellin
+and Tom Doling, which because it is somewhat merry I keep a copy of.
+After that done Mr. Sheply, W. Howe and I down with J. Goods into my
+Lord's storeroom of wine and other drink, where it was very pleasant to
+observe the massy timbers that the ship is made of.  We in the room were
+wholly under water and yet a deck below that.  After that to supper,
+where Tom Guy supped with us, and we had very good laughing, and after
+that some musique, where Mr. Pickering beginning to play a bass part upon
+the viall did it so like a fool that I was ashamed of him.  After that to
+bed.
+
+
+
+27th.  This morning Burr was absent again from on board, which I was
+troubled at, and spoke to Mr. Pierce, Purser, to speak to him of it, and
+it is my mind.  This morning Pim [the tailor] spent in my cabin, putting
+a great many ribbons to a suit.  After dinner in the afternoon came on
+board Sir Thomas Hatton and Sir R. Maleverer going for Flushing; but all
+the world know that they go where the rest of the many gentlemen go that
+every day flock to the King at Breda.
+
+     [The King arrived at Breda on the 14th April.  Sir W. Lower writes
+     ("Voiage and Residence of Charles II. in Holland," p. 5): "Many
+     considerations obliged him to depart the territories under the
+     obedience of the King of Spain in this conjuncture of affairs."]
+
+They supped here, and my Lord treated them as he do the rest that go
+thither, with a great deal of civility.  While we were at supper a packet
+came, wherein much news from several friends.  The chief is that, that I
+had from Mr. Moore, viz. that he fears the Cavaliers in the House will be
+so high, that the others will be forced to leave the House and fall in
+with General Monk, and so offer things to the King so high on the
+Presbyterian account that he may refuse, and so they will endeavour some
+more mischief; but when I told my Lord it, he shook his head and told me,
+that the Presbyterians are deceived, for the General is certainly for the
+King's interest, and so they will not be able to prevail that way with
+him.  After supper the two knights went on board the Grantham, that is to
+convey them to Flushing.  I am informed that the Exchequer is now so low,
+that there is not L20 there, to give the messenger that brought the news
+of Lambert's being taken; which story is very strange that he should lose
+his reputation of being a man of courage now at one blow, for that he was
+not able to fight one stroke, but desired of Colonel Ingoldsby several
+times for God's sake to let him escape.  Late reading my letters, my mind
+being much troubled to think that, after all our hopes, we should have
+any cause to fear any more disappointments therein.  To bed.  This day I
+made even with Mr. Creed, by sending him my bill and he me my money by
+Burr whom I sent for it.
+
+
+
+28th.  This morning sending a packet by Mr. Dunne to London.  In the
+afternoon I played at ninepins with Mr. Pickering, I and Mr. Pett against
+him and Ted Osgood, and won a crown apiece of him.  He had not money
+enough to pay me.  After supper my Lord exceeding merry, and he and I and
+W. Howe to sing, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+29th (Sunday).  This day I put on first my fine cloth suit made of a
+cloak that had like to have been [dirted] a year ago, the very day that I
+put it on.  After sermon in the morning Mr. Cook came from London with a
+packet, bringing news how all the young lords that were not in arms
+against the Parliament do now sit.  That a letter is come from the King
+to the House, which is locked up by the Council 'till next Tuesday that
+it may be read in the open House when they meet again, they having
+adjourned till then to keep a fast tomorrow.  And so the contents is not
+yet known.  L13,000 of the L20,000 given to General Monk is paid out of
+the Exchequer, he giving L12 among the teller clerks of Exchequer.  My
+Lord called me into the great cabin below, where I opened my letters and
+he told me that the Presbyterians are quite mastered by the Cavaliers,
+and that he fears Mr. Crew did go a little too far the other day in
+keeping out the young lords from sitting.  That he do expect that the
+King should be brought over suddenly, without staying to make any terms
+at all, saying that the Presbyterians did intend to have brought him in
+with such conditions as if he had been in chains.  But he shook his
+shoulders when he told me how Monk had betrayed him, for it was he that
+did put them upon standing to put out the lords and other members that
+came not within the qualifications, which he [Montagu] did not like, but
+however he [Monk] had done his business, though it be with some kind of
+baseness.  After dinner I walked a great while upon the deck with the
+chyrurgeon and purser, and other officers of the ship, and they all pray
+for the King's coming, which I pray God send.
+
+
+
+30th.  All the morning getting instructions ready for the Squadron of
+ships that are going to-day to the Streights, among others Captain
+Teddiman, Curtis, and Captain Robert Blake to be commander of the whole
+Squadron.  After dinner to ninepins, W. Howe and I against Mr. Creed and
+the Captain.  We lost 5s. apiece to them.  After that W. Howe, Mr. Sheply
+and I got my Lord's leave to go to see Captain Sparling.  So we took boat
+and first went on shore, it being very pleasant in the fields; but a very
+pitiful town Deal is.  We went to Fuller's (the famous place for ale),
+but they have none but what was in the vat.  After that to Poole's, a
+tavern in the town, where we drank, and so to boat again, and went to the
+Assistance, where we were treated very civilly by the Captain, and he did
+give us such music upon the harp by a fellow that he keeps on board that
+I never expect to hear the like again, yet he is a drunken simple fellow
+to look on as any I ever saw.  After that on board the Nazeby, where we
+found my Lord at supper, so I sat down and very pleasant my Lord was with
+Mr. Creed and Sheply, who he puzzled about finding out the meaning of the
+three notes which my Lord had cut over the chrystal of his watch.  After
+supper some musique.  Then Mr. Sheply, W. Howe and I up to the
+Lieutenant's cabin, where we drank, and I and W. Howe were very merry,
+and among other frolics he pulls out the spigot of the little vessel of
+ale that was there in the cabin and drew some into his mounteere, and
+after he had drank, I endeavouring to dash it in his face, he got my
+velvet studying cap and drew some into mine too, that we made ourselves a
+great deal of mirth, but spoiled my clothes with the ale that we dashed
+up and down.  After that to bed very late with drink enough in my head.
