This morning I was told how the people of Deal have set up two +or three Maypoles, and have hung up their flags upon the top of them, and +do resolve to be very merry to-day. It being a very pleasant day, I +wished myself in Hide Park. This day I do count myself to have had full +two years of perfect cure for the stone, for which God of heaven be +blessed. This day Captain Parker came on board, and without his +expectation I had a commission for him for the Nonsuch frigate + + [The "Nonsuch" was a fourth-rate of thirty-two guns, built at + Deptford in 1646 by Peter Pett, jun. The captain was John Parker.] + +(he being now in the Cheriton), for which he gave me a French pistole. +Captain H. Cuttance has commission for the Cheriton. After dinner to +nine-pins, and won something. The rest of the afternoon in my cabin +writing and piping. While we were at supper we heard a great noise upon +the Quarter Deck, so we all rose instantly, and found it was to save the +coxon of the Cheriton, who, dropping overboard, could not be saved, but +was drowned. To-day I put on my suit that was altered from the great +skirts to little ones. To-day I hear they were very merry at Deal, +setting up the King's flag upon one of their maypoles, and drinking his +health upon their knees in the streets, and firing the guns, which the +soldiers of the Castle threatened; but durst not oppose. + +2nd. In the morning at a breakfast of radishes at the Purser's cabin. +After that to writing till dinner. At which time comes Dunne from London, +with letters that tell us the welcome news of the Parliament's votes +yesterday, which will be remembered for the happiest May-day that bath +been many a year to England. The King's letter was read in the House, +wherein he submits himself and all things to them, as to an Act of +Oblivion to all, + + ["His Majesty added thereunto an excellent Declaration for the + safety and repose of those, who tortured in their consciences, for + having partaken in the rebellion, might fear the punishment of it, + and in that fear might oppose the tranquillity of the Estate, and + the calling in of their lawful Prince. It is printed and published + as well as the letter, but that shall not hinder me to say, that + there was never seen a more perfect assemblage of all the most + excellent natural qualities, and of all the venues, as well Royal as + Christian, wherewith a great Prince may be endowed, than was found + in those two wonderful productions."--Sir William Lowers 'Relation + . . . of the voiage and Residence Which . . . Charles the II. + Hath made in Holland,' Hague, 1660, folio, p. 3.] + +unless they shall please to except any, as to the confirming of the sales +of the King's and Church lands, if they see good. The House upon reading +the letter, ordered L50,000 to be forthwith provided to send to His +Majesty for his present supply; and a committee chosen to return an answer +of thanks to His Majesty for his gracious letter; and that the letter be +kept among the records of the Parliament; and in all this not so much as +one No. So that Luke Robinson himself stood up and made a recantation for +what he had done, and promises to be a loyal subject to his Prince for the +time to come. The City of London have put a Declaration, wherein they do +disclaim their owing any other government but that of a King, Lords, and +Commons. Thanks was given by the House to Sir John Greenville, + + [Created Earl of Bath, 1661; son of Sir Bevil Grenville, killed at + the battle of Lansdowne; he was, when a boy, left for dead on the + field at the second battle of Newbury, and said to have been the + only person entrusted by Charles II. and Monk in bringing about the + Restoration.] + +one of the bedchamber to the King, who brought the letter, and they +continued bare all the time it was reading. Upon notice made from the +Lords to the Commons, of their desire that the Commons would join with +them in their vote for King, Lords, and Commons; the Commons did concur +and voted that all books whatever that are out against the Government of +King, Lords, and Commons, should be brought into the House and burned. +Great joy all yesterday at London, and at night more bonfires than ever, +and ringing of bells, and drinking of the King's health upon their knees +in the streets, which methinks is a little too much. But every body seems +to be very joyfull in the business, insomuch that our sea-commanders now +begin to say so too, which a week ago they would not do. + + ["The picture of King Charles II. was often set up in houses, + without the least molestation, whereas a while ago, it was almost a + hanging matter so to do; but now the Rump Parliament was so hated + and jeered at, that the butchers' boys would say, 'Will you buy any + Parliament rumps and kidneys?' And it was a very ordinary thing to + see little children make a fire in the streets, and burn rumps." + --Rugge's Diurnal.--B.] + +And our seamen, as many as had money or credit for drink, did do nothing +else this evening. This day came Mr. North (Sir Dudley North's son) on +board, to spend a little time here, which my Lord was a little troubled +at, but he seems to be a fine gentleman, and at night did play his part +exceeding well at first sight. After musique I went up to the Captain's +Cabin with him and Lieutenant Ferrers, who came hither to-day from London +to bring this news to my Lord, and after a bottle of wine we all to bed. + +3d. This morning my Lord showed me the King's declaration and his letter +to the two Generals to be communicated to the fleet. + + ["King Charles II. his Declaration to all his loving Subjects of the + Kingdome of England, dated from his Court at Breda in Holland 4/14 + of April, 1660, and read in Parliament with his Majesties Letter of + the same date to his Excellence the Ld. Gen. Monck to be + communicated to the Ld. President of the Council of State and + to the Officers of the Army under his Command. London, Printed by + W. Godbid for John Playford in the Temple, 1660." 40, pp. 8.] + +The contents of the letter are his offer of grace to all that will come in +within forty days, only excepting them that the Parliament shall hereafter +except. That the sales of lands during these troubles, and all other +things, shall be left to the Parliament, by which he will stand. The +letter dated at Breda, April, 4 1660, in the 12th year of his reign. Upon +the receipt of it this morning by an express, Mr. Phillips, one of the +messengers of the Council from General Monk, my Lord summoned a council of +war, and in the mean time did dictate to me how he would have the vote +ordered which he would have pass this council. Which done, the Commanders +all came on board, and the council sat in the coach (the first council of +war that had been in my time), where I read the letter and declaration; +and while they were discoursing upon it, I seemed to draw up a vote, which +being offered, they passed. Not one man seemed to say no to it, though I +am confident many in their hearts were against it. After this was done, I +went up to the quarter-deck with my Lord and the Commanders, and there +read both the papers and the vote; which done, and demanding their +opinion, the seamen did all of them cry out, "God bless King Charles!" +with the greatest joy imaginable. That being done, Sir R. Stayner, who +had invited us yesterday, took all the Commanders and myself on board him +to dinner, which not being ready, I went with Captain Hayward to the +Plimouth and Essex, and did what I had to do there and returned, where +very merry at dinner. After dinner, to the rest of the ships (staid at +the Assistance to hear the harper a good while) quite through the fleet. +Which was a very brave sight to visit all the ships, and to be received +with the respect and honour that I was on board them all; and much more to +see the great joy that I brought to all men; not one through the whole +fleet showing the least dislike of the business. In the evening as I was +going on board the Vice-Admiral, the General began to fire his guns, which +he did all that he had in the ship, and so did all the rest of the +Commanders, which was very gallant, and to hear the bullets go hissing +over our heads as we were in the boat. This done and finished my +Proclamation, I returned to the Nazeby, where my Lord was much pleased to +hear how all the fleet took it in a transport of joy, showed me a private +letter of the King's to him, and another from the Duke of York in such +familiar style as to their common friend, with all kindness imaginable. +And I found by the letters, and so my Lord told me too, that there had +been many letters passed between them for a great while, and I perceive +unknown to Monk. And among the rest that had carried these letters Sir +John Boys is one, and that Mr. Norwood, which had a ship to carry him over +the other day, when my Lord would not have me put down his name in the +book. The King speaks of his being courted to come to the Hague, but do +desire my Lord's advice whither to come to take ship. And the Duke offers +to learn the seaman's trade of him, in such familiar words as if Jack Cole +and I had writ them. This was very strange to me, that my Lord should +carry all things so wisely and prudently as he do, and I was over joyful +to see him in so good condition, and he did not a little please himself to +tell me how he had provided for himself so great a hold on the King. + +After this to supper, and then to writing of letters till twelve at night, +and so up again at three in the morning. My Lord seemed to put great +confidence in me, and would take my advice in many things. I perceive his +being willing to do all the honour in the world to Monk, and to let him +have all the honour of doing the business, though he will many times +express his thoughts of him to be but a thick-sculled fool. So that I do +believe there is some agreement more than ordinary between the King and my +Lord to let Monk carry on the business, for it is he that must do the +business, or at least that can hinder it, if he be not flattered and +observed. This, my Lord will hint himself sometimes. My Lord, I perceive +by the King's letter, had writ to him about his father, Crew,--[When only +seventeen years old, Montagu had married Jemima, daughter of John Crew, +created afterwards Baron Crew of Stene.]--and the King did speak well of +him; but my Lord tells me, that he is afeard that he hath too much +concerned himself with the Presbyterians against the House of Lords, which +will do him a great discourtesy. + +4th. I wrote this morning many letters, and to all the copies of the vote +of the council of war I put my name, that if it should come in print my +name maybe at it. I sent a copy of the vote to Doling, inclosed in this +letter: + + "SIR, + + "He that can fancy a fleet (like ours) in her pride, with pendants + loose, guns roaring, caps flying, and the loud 'Vive le Roys,' + echoed from one ship's company to another, he, and he only, can + apprehend the joy this inclosed vote was received with, or the + blessing he thought himself possessed of that bore it, and is + + "Your humble servant." + +About nine o'clock I got all my letters done, and sent them by the +messenger that came yesterday. This morning came Captain Isham on board +with a gentleman going to the King, by whom very cunningly, my Lord tells +me, he intends to send an account of this day's and yesterday's actions +here, notwithstanding he had writ to the Parliament to have leave of them +to send the King the answer of the fleet. Since my writing of the last +paragraph, my Lord called me to him to read his letter to the King, to see +whether I could find any slips in it or no. And as much of the letter' as +I can remember, is thus: + + "May it please your Most Excellent Majesty," and so begins. + + "That he yesterday received from General Monk his Majesty's letter + and direction; and that General Monk had desired him to write to the + Parliament to have leave to send the vote of the seamen before he + did send it to him, which he had done by writing to both Speakers; + but for his private satisfaction he had sent it thus privately (and + so the copy of the proceedings yesterday was sent him), and that + this come by a gentleman that came this day on board, intending to + wait upon his Majesty, that he is my Lord's countryman, and one + whose friends have suffered much on his Majesty's behalf. That my + Lords Pembroke and Salisbury are put out of the House of Lords. + That my Lord is very joyful that other countries do pay him the + civility and respect due to him; and that he do much rejoice to see + that the King do resolve to receive none of their assistance (or + some such words), from them, he having strength enough in the love + and loyalty of his own subjects to support him. That his Majesty + had chosen the best place, Scheveling,--[Schevingen, the port of the + Hague]--for his embarking, and that there is nothing in the world of + which he is more ambitious, than to have the honour of attending his + Majesty, which he hoped would be speedy. That he had commanded the + vessel to attend at Helversluce--[Hellevoetsluis, in South Holland] + --till this gentleman returns, that so if his Majesty do not think + it fit to command the fleet himself, yet that he may be there to + receive his commands and bring them to his Lordship. He ends his + letter, that he is confounded with the thoughts of the high + expressions of love to him in the King's letter, and concludes, + + "Your most loyall, dutifull, faithfull and obedient subject and + servant, E. M." + +The rest of the afternoon at ninepins. In the evening came a packet from +London, among the rest a letter from my wife, which tells me that she has +not been well, which did exceedingly trouble me, but my Lord sending Mr. +Cook at night, I wrote to her and sent a piece of gold enclosed to her, +and wrote also to Mrs. Bowyer, and enclosed a half piece to her for a +token. After supper at the table in the coach, my Lord talking concerning +the uncertainty of the places of the Exchequer to them that had them now; +he did at last think of an office which do belong to him in case the King +do restore every man to his places that ever had been patent, which is to +be one of the clerks of the signet, which will be a fine employment for +one of his sons. After all this discourse we broke up and to bed. + +In the afternoon came a minister on board, one Mr. Sharpe, who is going to +the King; who tells me that Commissioners are chosen both of Lords and +Commons to go to the King; and that Dr. Clarges + + [Thomas Clarges, physician to the army, created a baronet, 1674, + died 1695. He had been previously knighted; his sister Anne married + General Monk. "The Parliament also permitted General Monk to send + Mr. Clarges, his brother-in-law, accompanied with some officers of + the army, to assure his Majesty of the fidelity and obedience of the + army, which had made publick and solemn protestations thereof, after + the Letter and Declaration was communicated unto them by the + General."--Sir William Lowers Relation . . . of the Voiage and + Residence which . . . Charles the II. Hath made in Holland, + Hague, 1660, folio.] + +is going to him from the Army, and that he will be here to-morrow. My +letters at night tell me, that the House did deliver their letter to Sir +John Greenville, in answer to the King's sending, and that they give him +L500 for his pains, to buy him a jewel, and that besides the L50,000 +ordered to be borrowed of the City for the present use of the King, the +twelve companies of the City do give every one of them to his Majesty, as +a present, L1000. + +5th. All the morning very busy writing letters to London, and a packet to +Mr. Downing, to acquaint him with what had been done lately in the fleet. +And this I did by my Lord's command, who, I thank him, did of himself +think of doing it, to do me a kindness, for he writ a letter himself to +him, thanking him for his kindness to me. All the afternoon at ninepins, +at night after supper good musique, my Lord, Mr. North, I and W. Howe. +After that to bed. This evening came Dr. Clarges to Deal, going to the +King; where the towns-people strewed the streets with herbes against his +coming, for joy of his going. Never was there so general a content as +there is now. I cannot but remember that our parson did, in his prayer +to-night, pray for the long life and happiness of our King and dread +Soveraign, that may last as long as the sun and moon endureth. + +6th (Lord's day). This morning while we were at sermon comes in Dr. +Clarges and a dozen gentlemen to see my Lord, who, after sermon, dined +with him; I remember that last night upon discourse concerning Clarges my +Lord told me that he was a man of small entendimiento.--[Entendimiento, +Spanish: the understanding.]--This afternoon there was a gentleman with +me, an officer of Dunkirk going over, who came to me for an order and told +me he was lately with my uncle and Aunt Fenner and that Kate's fits of the +convulsions did hold her still. It fell very well to-day, a stranger +preached here for Mr. Ibbot, one Mr. Stanley, who prayed for King Charles, +by the Grace of God, &c., which gave great contentment to the gentlemen +that were on board here, and they said they would talk of it, when they +come to Breda, as not having it done yet in London so publickly. After +they were gone from on board, my Lord writ a letter to the King and give +it to me to carry privately to Sir William Compton' on board the +Assistance, which I did, and after a health to his Majesty on board there, +I left them under sail for Breda. Back again and found them at sermon. I +went up to my cabin and looked over my accounts, and find that, all my +debts paid and my preparations to sea paid for, I have L640 clear in my +purse. After supper to bed. + +7th. This morning Captain Cuttance sent me 12 bottles of Margate ale. +Three of them I drank presently with some friends in the Coach. My Lord +went this morning about the flag-ships in a boat, to see what alterations +there must be, as to the arms and flags. He did give me order also to +write for silk flags and scarlett waistcloathes. + + [Waist-cloths are the painted canvas coverings of the hammocks which + are stowed in the waist-nettings.] + +For a rich barge; for a noise of trumpets, + + [A set or company of musicians, an expression constantly used by old + writers without any disparaging meaning. It is sometimes applied to + voices as well as to instruments.] + +and a set of fidlers. Very great deal of company come today, among others +Mr. Bellasses, Sir Thomas Lenthropp, Sir Henry Chichley, Colonel Philip +Honiwood, and Captain Titus, the last of whom my Lord showed all our +cabins, and I suppose he is to take notice what room there will be for the +King's entertainment. Here were also all the Jurates of the town of Dover +come to give my Lord a visit, and after dinner all went away. I could not +but observe that the Vice-Admiral after dinner came into the great cabin +below, where the Jurates and I and the commanders for want of room dined, +and there told us we must drink a health to the King, and himself called +for a bottle of wine, and begun his and the Duke of York's. In the +afternoon I lost 5s. at ninepins. After supper musique, and to bed. +Having also among us at the Coach table wrote a letter to the French +ambassador, in French, about the release of a ship we had taken. After I +was in bed Mr. Sheply and W. Howe came and sat in my cabin, where I gave +them three bottles of Margate ale, and sat laughing and very merry, till +almost one o'clock in the morning, and so good night. + +8th. All the morning busy. After dinner come several persons of honour, +as my Lord St. John and others, for convoy to Flushing, and great giving +of them salutes. My Lord and we at nine-pins: I lost 9s. While we were +at play Mr. Cook brings me word of my wife. He went to Huntsmore to see +her, and brought her and my father Bowyer to London, where he left her at +my father's, very well, and speaks very well of her love to me. My +letters to-day tell me how it was intended that the King should be +proclaimed to-day in London, with a great deal of pomp. I had also news +who they are that are chosen of the Lords and Commons to attend the King. +And also the whole story of what we did the other day in the fleet, at +reading of the King's declaration, and my name at the bottom of it. After +supper some musique and to bed. I resolving to rise betimes to-morrow to +write letters to London. + +9th. Up very early, writing a letter to the King, as from the two +Generals of the fleet, in answer to his letter to them, wherein my Lord do +give most humble thanks for his gracious letter and declaration; and +promises all duty and obedience to him. This letter was carried this +morning to Sir Peter Killigrew, + + [Sir Peter Killigrew, Knight, of Arwenack, Cornwall, was known as + "Peter the Post," from the alacrity with which he despatched "like + wild fire" all the messages and other commissions entrusted to him + in the King's cause. His son Peter, who succeeded his uncle as + second baronet in 1665, was M.P. for Camelford in 1660.] + +who came hither this morning early to bring an order from the Lords' House +to my Lord, giving him power to write an answer to the King. This morning +my Lord St. John and other persons of honour were here to see my Lord, and +so away to Flushing. After they were gone my Lord and I to write letters +to London, which we sent by Mr. Cook, who was very desirous to go because +of seeing my wife before she went out of town. As we were sitting down to +dinner, in comes Noble with a letter from the House of Lords to my Lord, +to desire him to provide ships to transport the Commissioners to the King, +which are expected here this week. He brought us certain news that the +King was proclaimed yesterday with great pomp, and brought down one of the +Proclamations, with great joy to us all; for which God be praised. After +dinner to ninepins and lost 5s. This morning came Mr. Saunderson, + + [Afterwards Sir William Sanderson, gentleman of the chamber, author + of the "History of Mary Queen of Scots, James I., and Charles I." + His wife, Dame Bridget, was mother of the maids.] + +that writ the story of the King, hither, who is going over to the King. He +calls me cozen and seems a very knowing man. After supper to bed betimes, +leaving my Lord talking in the Coach with the Captain. + +10th. This morning came on board Mr. Pinkney and his son, going to the +King with a petition finely writ by Mr. Whore, for to be the King's +embroiderer; for whom and Mr. Saunderson I got a ship. This morning come +my Lord Winchelsea and a great deal of company, and dined here. In the +afternoon, while my Lord and we were at musique in the great cabin below, +comes in a messenger to tell us that Mr. Edward Montagu, + + [Sir Edward Montagu's eldest son, afterwards second Earl of + Sandwich, called by Pepys "The child."] + +my Lord's son, was come to Deal, who afterwards came on board with Mr. +Pickering with him. The child was sick in the evening. At night, while +my Lord was at supper, in comes my Lord Lauderdale and Sir John +Greenville, who supped here, and so went away. After they were gone, my +Lord called me into his cabin, and told me how he was commanded to set +sail presently for the King, + + ["Ordered that General Montagu do observe the command of His Majesty + for the disposing of the fleet, in order to His Majesty's returning + home to England to his kingly government: and that all proceedings + in law be in His Majesty's name."--Rugge's Diurnal.--B.] + +and was very glad thereof, and so put me to writing of letters and other +work that night till it was very late, he going to bed. I got him +afterwards to sign things in bed. After I had done some more work I to +bed also. + +11th. Up very early in the morning, and so about a great deal of business +in order to our going hence to-day. Burr going on shore last night made +me very angry. So that I sent for Mr. Pitts to come tome from the +Vice-Admiral's, intending not to have employed Burr any more. But Burr by +and by coming and desiring humbly that I would forgive him and Pitts not +coming I did set him to work. This morning we began to pull down all the +State's arms in the fleet, having first sent to Dover for painters and +others to come to set up the King's. The rest of the morning writing of +letters to London which I afterwards sent by Dunne. I had this morning my +first opportunity of discoursing with Dr. Clarke, + + [Timothy Clarke, M. D., one of the original Fellows of the Royal + Society. He was appointed one of the physicians in ordinary to + Charles II. on the death of Dr. Quartermaine in 1667.] + +whom I found to be a very pretty man and very knowing. He is now going in +this ship to the King. There dined here my Lord Crafford and my Lord +Cavendish, and other Scotchmen whom I afterwards ordered to be received on +board the Plymouth, and to go along with us. After dinner we set sail +from the Downs, I leaving my boy to go to Deal for my linen. In the +afternoon overtook us three or four gentlemen; two of the Berties, and one +Mr. Dormerhoy, a Scotch gentleman, whom I afterwards found to be a very +fine man, who, telling my Lord that they heard the Commissioners were come +out of London to-day, my Lord dropt anchor over against Dover Castle +(which give us about thirty guns in passing), and upon a high debate with +the Vice and Rear Admiral whether it were safe to go and not stay for the +Commissioners, he did resolve to send Sir R. Stayner to Dover, to enquire +of my Lord Winchelsea, whether or no they are come out of London, and then +to resolve to-morrow morning of going or not; which was done. It blew +very hard all this night that I was afeard of my boy. About 11 at night +came the boats from Deal, with great store of provisions, by the same +token John Goods told me that above 20 of the fowls are smothered, but my +boy was put on board the Northwich. To bed. + +12th. This morning I inquired for my boy, whether he was come well or no, +and it was told me that he was well in bed. My Lord called me to his +chamber, he being in bed, and gave me many orders to make for direction +for the ships that are left in the Downs, giving them the greatest charge +in the world to bring no passengers with them, when they come after us to +Scheveling Bay, excepting Mr. Edward Montagu, Mr. Thomas Crew, and Sir H. +Wright. Sir R. Stayner hath been here early in the morning and told my +Lord, that my Lord Winchelsea understands by letters, that the +Commissioners are only to come to Dover to attend the coming over of the +King. So my Lord did give order for weighing anchor, which we did, and +sailed all day. In our way in the morning, coming in the midway between +Dover and Calais, we could see both places very easily, and very pleasant +it was to me that the further we went the more we lost sight of both +lands. In the afternoon at cards with Mr. North and the +Doctor.--[Clarke]--There by us, in the Lark frigate, Sir R. Freeman and +some others, going from the King to England, come to see my Lord and so +onward on their voyage. In the afternoon upon the quarterdeck the Doctor +told Mr. North and me an admirable story called "The Fruitless +Precaution," an exceeding pretty story and worthy my getting without book +when I can get the book.[??] This evening came Mr. Sheply on board, whom +we had left at Deal and Dover getting of provision and borrowing of money. +In the evening late, after discoursing with the Doctor, &c., to bed. + +13th (Lord's day). Trimmed in the morning, after that to the cook's room +with Mr. Sheply, the first time that I was there this voyage. Then to the +quarter-deck, upon which the tailors and painters were at work, cutting +out some pieces of yellow cloth into the fashion of a crown and C. R. and +put it upon a fine sheet, and that into the flag instead of the State's +arms, which after dinner was finished and set up after it had been shewn +to my Lord, who took physic to-day and was in his chamber, and liked it so +well as to bid me give the tailors 20s. among them for doing of it. This +morn Sir J. Boys and Capt. Isham met us in the Nonsuch, the first of whom, +after a word or two with my Lord, went forward, the other staid. I heard +by them how Mr. Downing had never made any address to the King, and for +that was hated exceedingly by the Court, and that he was in a Dutch ship +which sailed by us, then going to England with disgrace. Also how Mr. +Morland was knighted by the King this week, and that the King did give the +reason of it openly, that it was for his giving him intelligence all the +time he was clerk to Secretary Thurloe. In the afternoon a council of +war, only to acquaint them that the Harp must be taken out of all their +flags, + + [In May, 1658, the old Union Jack (being the crosses of St. George + and St. Andrew combined) was revived, with the Irish harp over the + centre of the flag. This harp was taken off at the Restoration. + (See "The National Flags of the Commonwealth," by H. W. Henfrey," + Journ. Brit. Arch. Assoc.," vol. xxxi, p. 54.) The sign of the + "Commonwealth Arms" was an uncommon one, but a token of one exists-- + "Francis Wood at ye Commonwealth arms in Mary Maudlens" [St. Mary + Magdalen, Old Fish Street].] + +it being very offensive to the King. Mr. Cook, who came after us in the +Yarmouth, bringing me a letter from my wife and a Latin letter from my +brother John, with both of which I was exceedingly pleased. No sermon all +day, we being under sail, only at night prayers, wherein Mr. Ibbott prayed +for all that were related to us in a spiritual and fleshly way. We came +within sight of Middle's shore. Late at night we writ letters to the King +of the news of our coming, and Mr. Edward Picketing carried them. Capt. +Isham went on shore, nobody showing of him any respect; so the old man +very fairly took leave of my Lord, and my Lord very coldly bid him "God be +with you," which was very strange, but that I hear that he keeps a great +deal of prating and talking on shore, on board, at the King's Courts, what +command he had with my Lord, &c. After letters were gone then to bed. + +14th. In the morning when I woke and rose, I saw myself out of the +scuttle close by the shore, which afterwards I was told to be the Dutch +shore; the Hague was clearly to be seen by us. My Lord went up in his +nightgown into the cuddy, + + ["A sort of cabin or cook-room, generally in the fore-part, but + sometimes near the stern of lighters and barges of burden."--Smyth's + Sailor's Word-Book.] + +to see how to dispose thereof for himself and us that belong to him, to +give order for our removal to-day. Some nasty Dutchmen came on board to +proffer their boats to carry things from us on shore, &c., to get money by +us. Before noon some gentlemen came on board from the shore to kiss my +Lord's hands. And by and by Mr. North and Dr. Clerke went to kiss the +Queen of Bohemia's' hands, from my Lord, with twelve attendants from on +board to wait on them, among which I sent my boy, who, like myself, is +with child to see any strange thing. After noon they came back again +after having kissed the Queen of Bohemia's hand, and were sent again by my +Lord to do the same to the Prince of Orange. + + [Son of the Prince of Orange and Mary, eldest daughter of Charles I. + --afterwards William III. He was then in his tenth year, having + been born in 1650.] + +So I got the Captain to ask leave for me to go, which my Lord did give, +and I taking my boy and judge Advocate with me, went in company with them. +The weather bad; we were sadly washed when we came near the shore, it +being very hard to land there. The shore is, as all the country between +that and the Hague, all sand. The rest of the company got a coach by +themselves; Mr. Creed and I went in the fore part of a coach wherein were +two very pretty ladies, very fashionable and with black patches, who very +merrily sang all the way and that very well, and were very free to kiss +the two blades that were with them. I took out my flageolette and piped, +but in piping I dropped my rapier-stick, but when I came to the Hague, I +sent my boy back again for it and he found it, for which I did give him +6d., but some horses had gone over it and broke the scabbard. The Hague +is a most neat place in all respects. The houses so neat in all places +and things as is possible. Here we walked up and down a great while, the +town being now very full of Englishmen, for that the Londoners were come +on shore today. But going to see the Prince,--[Prince of Orange, +afterwards William III.]--he was gone forth with his governor, and so we +walked up and down the town and court to see the place; and by the help of +a stranger, an Englishman, we saw a great many places, and were made to +understand many things, as the intention of may-poles, which we saw there +standing at every great man's door, of different greatness according to +the quality of the person. About 10 at night the Prince comes home, and +we found an easy admission. His attendance very inconsiderable as for a +prince; but yet handsome, and his tutor a fine man, and himself a very +pretty boy. It was bright moonshine to-night. This done we went to a +place we had taken to sup in, where a sallet and two or three bones of +mutton were provided for a matter of ten of us which was very strange. +After supper the Judge and I to another house, leaving them there, and he +and I lay in one press bed, there being two more in the same room, but all +very neat and handsome, my boy sleeping upon a bench by me. + +15th. We lay till past three o'clock, then up and down the town, to see +it by daylight, where we saw the soldiers of the Prince's guard, all very +fine, and the burghers of the town with their arms and muskets as bright +as silver. And meeting this morning a schoolmaster that spoke good +English and French, he went along with us and shewed us the whole town, +and indeed I cannot speak enough of the gallantry of the town. Every body +of fashion speaks French or Latin, or both. The women many of them very +pretty and in good habits, fashionable and black spots. He went with me +to buy a couple of baskets, one of them for Mrs. Pierce, the other for my +wife. After he was gone, we having first drank with him at our lodging, +the judge and I to the Grande Salle where we were shewed the place where +the States General sit in council. The hall is a great place, where the +flags that they take from their enemies are all hung up; and things to be +sold, as in Westminster Hall, and not much unlike it, but that not so big, +but much neater. After that to a bookseller's and bought for the love of +the binding three books: the French Psalms in four parts, Bacon's Organon, +and Farnab. Rhetor. + + ["Index Rhetoricus" of Thomas Farnaby was a book which went through + several editions. The first was published at London by R. Allot in + 1633.] + +After that the judge, I and my boy by coach to Scheveling again, where we +went into a house of entertainment and drank there, the wind being very +high, and we saw two boats overset and the gallants forced to be pulled on +shore by the heels, while their trunks, portmanteaus, hats, and feathers, +were swimming in the sea. Among others I saw the ministers that come +along with the Commissioners (Mr. Case among the rest) sadly dipped. + + [Thomas Case, born 1598, was a famous preacher and a zealous + advocate for the Solemn League and Covenant, a member of the + assembly of divines, and rector of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields. He + was one of the deputation to Charles II. at Breda, and appointed a + royal chaplain. He was ejected by the Act of Uniformity, but + remained in London after his ejection. Died May 30th, 1682.] + +So they came in where we were, and I being in haste left my Copenhagen +knife, and so lost it. Having staid here a great while a gentleman that +was going to kiss my Lord's hand, from the Queen of Bohemia, and I hired a +Dutch boat for four rixdollars to carry us on board. We were fain to wait +a great while before we could get off from the shore, the sea being very +rough. The Dutchman would fain have made all pay that came into our boat +besides us two and our company, there being many of our ship's company got +in who were on shore, but some of them had no money, having spent all on +shore. Coming on board we found all the Commissioners of the House of +Lords at dinner with my Lord, who after dinner went away for shore. Mr. +Morland, now Sir Samuel, was here on board, but I do not find that my Lord +or any body did give him any respect, he being looked upon by him and all +men as a knave. Among others he betrayed Sir Rich. Willis + + [This is somewhat different to the usual account of Morland's + connection with Sir Richard Willis. In the beginning of 1659 + Cromwell, Thurloe, and Willis formed a plot to inveigle Charles II. + into England and into the hands of his enemies. The plot was + discussed in Thurloe's office, and Morland, who pretended to be + asleep, heard it and discovered it. Willis sent for Morland, and + received him in a cellar. He said that one of them must have + discovered the plot. He laid his hand upon the Bible and swore that + he had not been the discoverer, calling upon Morland to do the same. + Morland, with presence of mind, said he was ready to do so if Willis + would give him a reason why he should suspect him. By this ready + answer he is said to have escaped the ordeal (see Birch's "Life of + Thurloe").] + +that married Dr. F. Jones's daughter, that he had paid him L1000 at one +time by the Protector's and Secretary Thurloe's order, for intelligence +that he sent concerning the King. In the afternoon my Lord called me on +purpose to show me his fine cloathes which are now come hither, and indeed +are very rich as gold and silver can make them, only his sword he and I do +not like. In the afternoon my Lord and I walked together in the coach two +hours, talking together upon all sorts of discourse: as religion, wherein +he is, I perceive, wholly sceptical, as well as I, saying, that indeed the +Protestants as to the Church of Rome are wholly fanatiques: he likes +uniformity and form of prayer; about State-business, among other things he +told me that his conversion to the King's cause (for so I was saying that +I wondered from what time the King could look upon him to become his +friend), commenced from his being in the Sound, when he found what usage +he was likely to have from a Commonwealth. My Lord, the Captain, and I +supped in my Lord's chamber, where I did perceive that he did begin to +show me much more respect than ever he did yet. After supper, my Lord +sent for me, intending to have me play at cards with him, but I not +knowing cribbage, we fell into discourse of many things, till it was so +rough sea and the ship rolled so much that I was not able to stand, and so +he bid me go to bed. + +16th. Soon as I was up I went down to be trimmed below in the great +cabin, but then come in some with visits, among the rest one from Admiral +Opdam, + + [The admiral celebrated in Lord Dorset's ballad, "To all you ladies + now at land." + + "Should foggy Opdam chance to know + Our sad and dismal story; + The Dutch would scorn so weak a foe, + And quit their fort at Goree + For what resistance can they find + From men who've left their hearts behind?"--B.] + +who spoke Latin well, but not French nor English, to whom my Lord made me +to give his answer and to entertain; he brought my Lord a tierce of wine +and a barrel of butter, as a present from the Admiral. After that to +finish my trimming, and while I was doing of it in comes Mr. North very +sea-sick from shore, and to bed he goes. After that to dinner, where +Commissioner Pett was come to take care to get all things ready for the +King on board. My Lord in his best suit, this the first day, in +expectation to wait upon the King. But Mr. Edw. Pickering coming from the +King brought word that the King would not put my Lord to the trouble of +coming to him; but that he would come to the shore to look upon the fleet +to-day, which we expected, and had our guns ready to fire, and our scarlet +waistcloathes out and silk pendants, but he did not come. My Lord and we +at ninepins this afternoon upon the Quarterdeck, which was very pretty +sport. This evening came Mr. John Pickering on board, like an ass, with +his feathers and new suit that he had made at the Hague. My Lord very +angry for his staying on shore, bidding me a little before to send to him, +telling me that he was afraid that for his father's sake he might have +some mischief done him, unless he used the General's name. To supper, and +after supper to cards. I stood by and looked on till 11 at night and so +to bed. This afternoon Mr. Edwd. Pickering told me in what a sad, poor +condition for clothes and money the King was, and all his attendants, when +he came to him first from my Lord, their clothes not being worth forty +shillings the best of them. + + [Andrew Marvell alludes to the poor condition, for clothes and + money, in which the King was at this time, in "A Historical Poem":-- + + "At length, by wonderful impulse of fate, + The people call him back to help the State; + And what is more, they send him money, too, + And clothe him all from head to foot anew."] + +And how overjoyed the King was when Sir J. Greenville brought him some +money; so joyful, that he called the Princess Royal and Duke of York to +look upon it as it lay in the portmanteau before it was taken out. My +Lord told me, too, that the Duke of York is made High Admiral of England. + +17th. Up early to write down my last two days' observations. Dr. Clerke +came to me to tell me that he heard this morning, by some Dutch that are +come on board already to see the ship, that there was a Portuguese taken +yesterday at the Hague, that had a design to kill the King. But this I +heard afterwards was only the mistake upon one being observed to walk with +his sword naked, he having lost his scabbard. Before dinner Mr. Edw. +Pickering and I, W. Howe, Pim, and my boy,--[Edward Montagu, afterwards +Lord Hinchinbroke.]--to Scheveling, where we took coach, and so to the +Hague, where walking, intending to find one that might show us the King +incognito, I met with Captain Whittington (that had formerly brought a +letter to my Lord from the Mayor of London) and he did promise me to do +it, but first we went and dined at a French house, but paid 16s. for our +part of the club. At dinner in came Dr. Cade, a merry mad parson of the +King's. And they two after dinner got the child and me (the others not +being able to crowd in) to see the King, who kissed the child very +affectionately. Then we kissed his, and the Duke of York's, and the +Princess Royal's hands. The King seems to be a very sober man; and a very +splendid Court he hath in the number of persons of quality that are about +him, English very rich in habit. From the King to the Lord Chancellor, + + [On January 29th, 1658, Charles II. entrusted the Great Seal to Sir + Edward Hyde, with the title of Lord Chancellor, and in that + character Sir Edward accompanied the King to England.] + +who did lie bed-rid of the gout: he spoke very merrily to the child and +me. After that, going to see the Queen of Bohemia, I met with Dr. Fullers +whom I sent to a tavern with Mr. Edw. Pickering, while I and the rest went +to see the Queen,--[Henrietta Maria.]--who used us very respectfully; her +hand we all kissed. She seems a very debonaire, but plain lady. After +that to the Dr.'s, where we drank a while or so. In a coach of a friend's +of Dr. Cade we went to see a house of the Princess Dowager's in a park +about half-a-mile or a mile from the Hague, where there is one, the most +beautiful room for pictures in the whole world. She had here one picture +upon the top, with these words, dedicating it to the memory of her +husband:--"Incomparabili marito, inconsolabilis vidua." + + [Mary, Princess Royal, eldest daughter of Charles I., and widow of + William of Nassau, Prince of Orange. She was not supposed to be + inconsolable, and scandal followed her at the court of Charles II., + where she died of small-pox, December 24th, 1660.] + +Here I met with Mr. Woodcock of Cambridge, Mr. Hardy and another, and Mr. +Woodcock beginning we had two or three fine songs, he and I, and W. Howe +to the Echo, which was very pleasant, and the more because in a heaven of +pleasure and in a strange country, that I never was taken up more with a +sense of pleasure in my life. After that we parted and back to the Hague +and took a tour or two about the Forehault,--[The Voorhout is the +principal street of the Hague, and it is lined with handsome +trees.]--where the ladies in the evening do as our ladies do in Hide Park. +But for my life I could not find one handsome, but their coaches very rich +and themselves so too. From thence, taking leave of the Doctor, we took +wagon to Scheveling, where we had a fray with the Boatswain of the +Richmond, who would not freely carry us on board, but at last he was +willing to it, but then it was so late we durst not go. So we returned +between 10 and 11 at night in the dark with a wagon with one horse to the +Hague, where being come we went to bed as well as we could be +accommodated, and so to sleep. + +18th. Very early up, and, hearing that the Duke of York, our Lord High +Admiral, would go on board to-day, Mr. Pickering and I took waggon for +Scheveling, leaving the child in Mr. Pierces hands, with directions to +keep him within doors all day till he heard from me. But the wind being +very high that no boats could get off from shore, we returned to the Hague +(having breakfasted with a gentleman of the Duke's, and Commissioner Pett, +sent on purpose to give notice to my Lord of his coming), where I hear +that the child is gone to Delfe to see the town. So we all and Mr. Ibbott, +the Minister, took a schuit--[The trekschuit (drag-boat) along the canal +is still described as an agreeable conveyance from Leyden to Delft.]--and +very much pleased with the manner and conversation of the passengers, +where most speak French; went after them, but met them by the way. But +however we went forward making no stop. Where when we were come we got a +smith's boy of the town to go along with us, but could speak nothing but +Dutch, and he showed us the church where Van Trump lies entombed with a +very fine monument. His epitaph concluded thus:--"Tandem Bello Anglico +tantum non victor, certe invictus, vivere et vincere desiit." There is a +sea-fight cut in marble, with the smoke, the best expressed that ever I +saw in my life. From thence to the great church, that stands in a fine +great market-place, over against the Stadt-house, and there I saw a +stately tomb of the old Prince of Orange, of marble and brass; wherein +among other rarities there are the angels with their trumpets expressed as +it were crying. Here were very fine organs in both the churches. It is a +most sweet town, with bridges, and a river in every street. Observing +that in every house of entertainment there hangs in every room a +poor-man's box, and desiring to know the reason thereof, it was told me +that it is their custom to confirm all bargains by putting something into +the poor people's box, and that binds as fast as any thing. We also saw +the Guesthouse, where it was very pleasant to see what neat preparation +there is for the poor. We saw one poor man a-dying there. After we had +seen all, we light by chance of an English house to drink in, where we +were very merry, discoursing of the town and the thing that hangs up in +the Stadthouse like a bushel, which I was told is a sort of punishment for +some sort of offenders to carry through the streets of the town over his +head, which is a great weight. Back by water, where a pretty sober Dutch +lass sat reading all the way, and I could not fasten any discourse upon +her. At our landing we met with Commissioner Pett going down to the +water-side with Major Harly, who is going upon a dispatch into England. +They having a coach I left the Parson and my boy and went along with +Commissioner Pett, Mr. Ackworth and Mr. Dawes his friends, to the Princess +Dowager's house again. Thither also my Lord Fairfax and some other English +Lords did come to see it, and my pleasure was increased by seeing of it +again. Besides we went into the garden, wherein are gallant nuts better +than ever I saw, and a fine Echo under the house in a vault made on +purpose with pillars, where I played on my flageolette to great advantage. +Back to the Hague, where not finding Mr. Edward, I was much troubled, but +went with the Parson to supper to Commissioner Pett, where we sat late. +And among other mirth Mr. Ackworth vyed wives, each endeavouring to set +his own wife out to the best advantage, he having as they said an +extraordinary handsome wife. But Mr. Dawes could not be got to say +anything of his. After that to our lodging where W. Howe and I exceeding +troubled not to know what is become of our young gentleman. So to bed. + +19th. Up early, hearing nothing of the child, and went to Scheveling, +where I found no getting on board, though the Duke of York sent every day +to see whether he could do it or no. Here I met with Mr. Pinkney and his +sons, and with them went back to the Hague, in our way lighting and going +to see a woman that makes pretty rock-work in shells, &c., which could I +have carried safe I would have bought some of. At the Hague we went to +buy some pictures, where I saw a sort of painting done upon woollen cloth, +drawn as if there was a curtain over it, which was very pleasant, but +dear. Another pretty piece of painting I saw, on which there was a great +wager laid by young Pinkney and me whether it was a principal or a copy. +But not knowing how to decide, it was broken off, and I got the old man to +lay out as much as my piece of gold come to, and so saved my money, which +had been 24s. lost, I fear. While we were here buying of pictures, we saw +Mr. Edward and his company land. Who told me that they had been at Leyden +all night, at which I was very angry with Mr. Pierce, and shall not be +friends I believe a good while. To our lodging to dinner. After that out +to buy some linen to wear against to-morrow, and so to the barber's. +After that by waggon to Lausdune, where the 365 children were born. We +saw the hill where they say the house stood and sunk wherein the children +were born. The basins wherein the male and female children were baptized +do stand over a large table that hangs upon a wall, with the whole story +of the thing in Dutch and Latin, beginning, "Margarita Herman Comitissa," +&c. The thing was done about 200 years ago. + +The town is a little small village which answers much to one of our small +villages, such a one as Chesterton in all respects, and one could have +thought it in England but for the language of the people. We went into a +little drinking house where there were a great many Dutch boors eating of +fish in a boorish manner, but very merry in their way. But the houses +here as neat as in the great places. From thence to the Hague again +playing at crambo--[Crambo is described as "a play at short verses in +which a word is given, and the parties contend who can find most rhymes to +it."]--in the waggon, Mr. Edward, Mr. Ibbott, W. Howe, Mr. Pinkney, and I. +When we were come thither W. Howe, and Mr. Ibbott, and Mr. Pinckney went +away for Scheveling, while I and the child to walk up and down the town, +where I met my old chamber-fellow, Mr. Ch. Anderson, and a friend of his +(both Physicians), Mr. Wright, who took me to a Dutch house, where there +was an exceeding pretty lass, and right for the sport, but it being +Saturday we could not have much of her company, but however I staid with +them (having left the child with my uncle Pickering, whom I met in the +street) till 12 at night. By that time Charles was almost drunk, and then +broke up, he resolving to go thither again, after he had seen me at my +lodging, and lie with the girl, which he told me he had done in the +morning. Going to my lodging we met with the bellman, who struck upon a +clapper, which I took in my hand, and it is just like the clapper that our +boys frighten the birds away from the corn with in summer time in England. +To bed. + +20th. Up early, and with Mr. Pickering and the child by waggon to +Scheveling, where it not being yet fit to go off, I went to lie down in a +chamber in the house, where in another bed there was a pretty Dutch woman +in bed alone, but though I had a month's-mind + + [Month's-mind. An earnest desire or longing, explained as alluding + to "a woman's longing." See Shakespeare, "Two Gentlemen of Verona," + act i. sc. 2: + + "I see you have a month's mind to them."--M. B.] + +I had not the boldness to go to her. So there I slept an hour or two. At +last she rose, and then I rose and walked up and down the chamber, and saw +her dress herself after the Dutch dress, and talked to her as much as I +could, and took occasion, from her ring which she wore on her first +finger, to kiss her hand, but had not the face to offer anything more. So +at last I left her there and went to my company. About 8 o'clock I went +into the church at Scheveling, which was pretty handsome, and in the +chancel a very great upper part of the mouth of a whale, which indeed was +of a prodigious bigness, bigger than one of our long boats that belong to +one of our ships. Commissioner Pett at last came to our lodging, and +caused the boats to go off; so some in one boat and some in another we all +bid adieu to the shore. But through badness of weather we were in great +danger, and a great while before we could get to the ship, so that of all +the company not one but myself that was not sick. I keeping myself in the +open air, though I was soundly wet for it. This hath not been known four +days together such weather at this time of year, a great while. Indeed +our fleet was thought to be in great danger, but we found all well, and +Mr. Thos. Crew came on board. I having spoke a word or two with my Lord, +being not very well settled, partly through last night's drinking and want +of sleep, I lay down in my gown upon my bed and slept till the 4 o'clock +gun the next morning waked me, which I took for 8 at night, and rising +. . . mistook the sun rising for the sun setting on Sunday night. + +21st. So into my naked bed + + [This is a somewhat late use of an expression which was once + universal. It was formerly the custom for both sexes to sleep in + bed without any nightlinen. + + "Who sees his true love in her naked bed, + Teaching the sheets a whiter hue than white." + + Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis. + + Nares ("Glossary") notes the expression so late as in the very odd + novel by T. Amory, called "John Bunde," where a young lady declares, + after an alarm, "that she would never go into naked bed on board + ship again." Octavo edition, vol. i. p. 90.] + +and slept till 9 o'clock, and then John Goods waked me, [by] and by the +captain's boy brought me four barrels of Mallows oysters, which Captain +Tatnell had sent me from Murlace.--[Apparently Mallows stands for St. Malo +and Murlace for Morlaise.]--The weather foul all this day also. After +dinner, about writing one thing or other all day, and setting my papers in +order, having been so long absent. At night Mr. Pierce, Purser (the other +Pierce and I having not spoken to one another since we fell out about Mr. +Edward), and Mr. Cook sat with me in my cabin and supped with me, and then +I went to bed. By letters that came hither in my absence, I understand +that the Parliament had ordered all persons to be secured, in order to a +trial, that did sit as judges in the late King's death, and all the +officers too attending the Court. Sir John Lenthall moving in the House, +that all that had borne arms against the King should be exempted from +pardon, he was called to the bar of the House, and after a severe reproof +he was degraded his knighthood. At Court I find that all things grow +high. The old clergy talk as being sure of their lands again, and laugh +at the Presbytery; and it is believed that the sales of the King's and +Bishops' lands will never be confirmed by Parliament, there being nothing +now in any man's, power to hinder them and the King from doing what they +have a mind, but every body willing to submit to any thing. We expect +every day to have the King and Duke on board as soon as it is fair. My +Lord do nothing now, but offers all things to the pleasure of the Duke as +Lord High Admiral. So that I am at a loss what to do. + +22nd. Up very early, and now beginning to be settled in my wits again, I +went about setting down my last four days' observations this morning. +After that, was trimmed by a barber that has not trimmed me yet, my +Spaniard being on shore. News brought that the two Dukes are coming on +board, which, by and by, they did, in a Dutch boats the Duke of York in +yellow trimmings, the Duke of Gloucester + + [Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the youngest child of Charles L, born + July 6th, 16--, who, with his sister Elizabeth, was allowed a + meeting with his father on the night before the King's execution. + Burnet says: "He was active, and loved business; was apt to have + particular friendships, and had an insinuating temper which was + generally very acceptable. The King loved him much better than the + Duke of York." He died of smallpox at Whitehall, September 13th, + 1660, and was buried in Henry VII's Chapel.] + +in grey and red. My Lord went in a boat to meet them, the Captain, +myself, and others, standing at the entering port. So soon as they were +entered we shot the guns off round the fleet. After that they went to +view the ship all over, and were most exceedingly pleased with it. They +seem to be both very fine gentlemen. After that done, upon the +quarter-deck table, under the awning, the Duke of York and my Lord, Mr. +Coventry, + + [William Coventry, to whom Pepys became so warmly attached + afterwards, was the fourth son of Thomas, first Lord Coventry, the + Lord Keeper. He was born in 1628, and entered at Queen's College, + Oxford, in 1642; after the Restoration he became private secretary + to the Duke of York, his commission as Secretary to the Lord High + Admiral not being conferred until 1664; elected M.P. for Great + Yarmouth in 1661. In 1662 he was appointed an extra Commissioner of + the Navy, an office he held until 1667; in 1665, knighted and sworn + a Privy Councillor, and, in 1667, constituted a Commissioner of the + Treasury; but, having been forbid the court on account of his + challenging the Duke of Buckingham, he retired into the country, nor + could he subsequently be prevailed upon to accept of any official + employment. Burnet calls Sir William Coventry the best speaker in + the House of Commons, and "a man of the finest and best temper that + belonged to the court," and Pepys never omits an opportunity of + paying a tribute to his public and private worth. He died, 1686, of + gout in the stomach.] + +and I, spent an hour at allotting to every ship their service, in their +return to England; which having done, they went to dinner, where the table +was very full: the two Dukes at the upper end, my Lord Opdam next on one +side, and my Lord on the other. Two guns given to every man while he was +drinking the King's health, and so likewise to the Duke's health. I took +down Monsieur d'Esquier to the great cabin below, and dined with him in +state alone with only one or two friends of his. All dinner the harper +belonging to Captain Sparling played to the Dukes. After dinner, the +Dukes and my Lord to see the Vice and Rear-Admirals; and I in a boat after +them. After that done, they made to the shore in the Dutch boat that +brought them, and I got into the boat with them; but the shore was so full +of people to expect their coming, as that it was as black (which otherwise +is white sand), as every one could stand by another. When we came near +the shore, my Lord left them and came into his own boat, and General Pen +and I with him; my Lord being very well pleased with this day's work. By +the time we came on board again, news is sent us that the King is on +shore; so my Lord fired all his guns round twice, and all the fleet after +him, which in the end fell into disorder, which seemed very handsome. The +gun over against my cabin I fired myself to the King, which was the first +time that he had been saluted by his own ships since this change; but +holding my head too much over the gun, I had almost spoiled my right eye. +Nothing in the world but going of guns almost all this day. In the +evening we began to remove cabins; I to the carpenter's cabin, and Dr. +Clerke with me, who came on board this afternoon, having been twice ducked +in the sea to-day coming from shore, and Mr. North and John Pickering the +like. Many of the King's servants came on board to-night; and so many +Dutch of all sorts came to see the ship till it was quite dark, that we +could not pass by one another, which was a great trouble to us all. This +afternoon Mr. Downing (who was knighted yesterday by the King') was here +on board, and had a ship for his passage into England, with his lady and +servants. + + ["About midnight arrived there Mr. Downing, who did the affairs of + England to the Lords the Estates, in quality of Resident under + Oliver Cromwell, and afterward under the pretended Parliament, which + having changed the form of the government, after having cast forth + the last Protector, had continued him in his imploiment, under the + quality of Extraordinary Envoy. He began to have respect for the + King's person, when he knew that all England declared for a free + parliament, and departed from Holland without order, as soon as he + understood that there was nothing that could longer oppose the re- + establishment of monarchal government, with a design to crave + letters of recommendation to General Monk. This lord considered + him, as well because of the birth of his wife, which is illustrious, + as because Downing had expressed some respect for him in a time when + that eminent person could not yet discover his intentions. He had + his letters when he arrived at midnight at the house of the Spanish + Embassador, as we have said. He presented them forthwith to the + King, who arose from table a while after, read the letters, receiv'd + the submissions of Downing, and granted him the pardon and grace + which he asked for him to whom he could deny nothing. Some daies + after the King knighted him, and would it should be believed, that + the strong aversions which this minister of the Protector had made + appear against him on all occasions, and with all sorts of persons + indifferently, even a few daies before the publick and general + declaration of all England, proceeded not from any evil intention, + but only from a deep dissimulation, wherewith he was constrained to + cover his true sentiments, for fear to prejudice the affairs of his + Majesty."--Sir William Lowers Relation . . . of the Voiage and + Residence which . . . Charles the II. hath made in Holland, + Hague, 1660, folio, pp. 72-73.] + +By the same token he called me to him when I was going to write the order, +to tell me that I must write him Sir G. Downing. My Lord lay in the +roundhouse to-night. This evening I was late writing a French letter +myself by my Lord's order to Monsieur Kragh, Embassador de Denmarke a la +Haye, which my Lord signed in bed. After that I to bed, and the Doctor, +and sleep well. + +23rd. The Doctor and I waked very merry, only my eye was very red and ill +in the morning from yesterday's hurt. In the morning came infinity of +people on board from the King to go along with him. My Lord, Mr. Crew, +and others, go on shore to meet the King as he comes off from shore, where +Sir R. Stayner bringing His Majesty into the boat, I hear that His Majesty +did with a great deal of affection kiss my Lord upon his first meeting. +The King, with the two Dukes and Queen of Bohemia, Princess Royal, and +Prince of Orange, came on board, where I in their coming in kissed the +King's, Queen's, and Princess's hands, having done the other before. +Infinite shooting off of the guns, and that in a disorder on purpose, +which was better than if it had been otherwise. All day nothing but Lords +and persons of honour on board, that we were exceeding full. Dined in a +great deal of state, the Royall company by themselves in the coach, which +was a blessed sight to see. I dined with Dr. Clerke, Dr. Quarterman, and +Mr. Darcy in my cabin. This morning Mr. Lucy came on board, to whom and +his company of the King's Guard in another ship my Lord did give three +dozen of bottles of wine. He made friends between Mr. Pierce and me. +After dinner the King and Duke altered the name of some of the ships, viz. +the Nazeby into Charles; the Richard, James; the Speakers Mary; the Dunbar +(which was not in company with us), the Henry; Winsly, Happy Return; +Wakefield, Richmond; Lambert; the Henrietta; Cheriton, the Speedwell; +Bradford, the Success. That done, the Queen, Princess Royal, and Prince of +Orange, took leave of the King, and the Duke of York went on board the +London, and the Duke of Gloucester, the Swiftsure. Which done, we weighed +anchor, and with a fresh gale and most happy weather we set sail for +England. All the afternoon the King walked here and there, up and down +(quite contrary to what I thought him to have been), very active and +stirring. Upon the quarterdeck he fell into discourse of his escape from +Worcester, + + [For the King's own account of his escape dictated to Pepys, see + "Boscobel" (Bohn's "Standard Library").] + +where it made me ready to weep to hear the stories that he told of his +difficulties that he had passed through, as his travelling four days and +three nights on foot, every step up to his knees in dirt, with nothing but +a green coat and a pair of country breeches on, and a pair of country +shoes that made him so sore all over his feet, that he could scarce stir. +Yet he was forced to run away from a miller and other company, that took +them for rogues. His sitting at table at one place, where the master of +the house, that had not seen him in eight years, did know him, but kept it +private; when at the same table there was one that had been of his own +regiment at Worcester, could not know him, but made him drink the King's +health, and said that the King was at least four fingers higher than he. +At another place he was by some servants of the house made to drink, that +they might know him not to be a Roundhead, which they swore he was. In +another place at his inn, the master of the house, + + [This was at Brighton. The inn was the "George," and the innkeeper + was named Smith. Charles related this circumstance again to Pepys + in October, 1680. He then said, "And here also I ran into another + very great danger, as being confident I was known by the master of + the inn; for, as I was standing after supper by the fireside, + leaning my hand upon a chair, and all the rest of the company being + gone into another room, the master of the inn came in and fell a- + talking with me, and just as he was looking about, and saw there was + nobody in the room, he upon a sudden kissed my hand that was upon + the back of the chair, and said to me, 'God bless you wheresoever + you go! I do not doubt before I die, but to be a lord, and my wife + a lady.' So I laughed, and went away into the next room."] + +as the King was standing with his hands upon the back of a chair by the +fire-side, kneeled down and kissed his hand, privately, saying, that he +would not ask him who he was, but bid God bless him whither he was going. +Then the difficulty of getting a boat to get into France, where he was +fain to plot with the master thereof to keep his design from the four men +and a boy (which was all his ship's company), and so got to Fecamp in +France. + + [On Saturday, October 11th, 1651, Colonel Gunter made an agreement + at Chichester with Nicholas Tettersell, through Francis Mansell (a + French merchant), to have Tettersell's vessel ready at an hour's + warning. Charles II., in his narrative dictated to Pepys in 1680, + said, "We went to a place, four miles off Shoreham, called + Brighthelmstone, where we were to meet with the master of the ship, + as thinking it more convenient to meet there than just at Shoreham, + where the ship was. So when we came to the inn at Brighthelmstone + we met with one, the merchant Francis Mansell] who had hired the + vessel, in company with her master [Tettersell], the merchant only + knowing me, as having hired her only to carry over a person of + quality that was escaped from the battle of Worcester without naming + anybody." + + The boat was supposed to be bound for Poole, but Charles says in his + narrative: "As we were sailing the master came to me, and desired me + that I would persuade his men to use their best endeavours with him + to get him to set us on shore in France, the better to cover him + from any suspicion thereof, upon which I went to the men, which were + four and a boy." + + After the Restoration Mansell was granted a pension of L200 a year, + and Tettersell one of L100 a year. (See "Captain Nicholas + Tettersell and the Escape of Charles II.," by F. E. Sawyer, F.S.A., + "Sussex Archaeological Collections," vol. xxxii. pp. 81-104).) + +At Rouen he looked so poorly, that the people went into the rooms before +he went away to see whether he had not stole something or other. In the +evening I went up to my Lord to write letters for England, which we sent +away with word of our coming, by Mr. Edw. Pickering. The King supped +alone in the coach; after that I got a dish, and we four supped in my +cabin, as at noon. About bed-time my Lord Bartlett + + [A mistake for Lord Berkeley of Berkeley, who had been deputed, with + Lord Middlesex and four other Peers, by the House of Lords to + present an address of congratulation to the King.--B.] + +(who I had offered my service to before) sent for me to get him a bed, who +with much ado I did get to bed to my Lord Middlesex in the great cabin +below, but I was cruelly troubled before I could dispose of him, and quit +myself of him. So to my cabin again, where the company still was, and +were talking more of the King's difficulties; as how he was fain to eat a +piece of bread and cheese out of a poor boy's pocket; how, at a Catholique +house, he was fain to lie in the priest's hole a good while in the house +for his privacy. After that our company broke up, and the Doctor and I to +bed. We have all the Lords Commissioners on board us, and many others. +Under sail all night, and most glorious weather. + +24th. Up, and made myself as fine as I could, with the Tinning stockings +on and wide canons--["Cannions, boot hose tops; an old-fashioned ornament +for the legs." That is to say, a particular addition to breeches.]--that +I bought the other day at Hague. Extraordinary press of noble company, +and great mirth all the day. There dined with me in my cabin (that is, +the carpenter's) Dr. Earle + + [John Earle, born about 1601; appointed in 1643 one of the + Westminster Assembly of Divines, but his principles did not allow + him to act.

His sons + Stephen and Henry were created respectively Earl of Ilchester and + Lord Holland.] + +(both very fine gentlemen), the King's servants, where we had brave +discourse. Walking upon the decks, where persons of honour all the +afternoon, among others, Thomas Killigrew (a merry droll, but a gentleman +of great esteem with the King), who told us many merry stories: one, how +he wrote a letter three or four days ago to the Princess Royal, about a +Queen Dowager of Judaea and Palestine, that was at the Hague incognita, +that made love to the King, &c., which was Mr. Cary (a courtier's) wife +that had been a nun, who are all married to Jesus. At supper the three +Drs. of Physic again at my cabin; where I put Dr. Scarborough in mind of +what I heard him say about the use of the eyes, which he owned, that +children do, in every day's experience, look several ways with both their +eyes, till custom teaches them otherwise. And that we do now see but with +one eye, our eyes looking in parallel lines. After this discourse I was +called to write a pass for my Lord Mandeville to take up horses to London, +which I wrote in the King's name,--[This right of purveyance was abolished +in Charles's reign.]--and carried it to him to sign, which was the first +and only one that ever he signed in the ship Charles. To bed, coming in +sight of land a little before night. + +25th. By the morning we were come close to the land, and every body made +ready to get on shore. The King and the two Dukes did eat their breakfast +before they went, and there being set some ship's diet before them, only +to show them the manner of the ship's diet, they eat of nothing else but +pease and pork, and boiled beef. I had Mr. Darcy in my cabin and Dr. +Clerke, who eat with me, told me how the King had given L50 to Mr. Sheply +for my Lord's servants, and L500 among the officers and common men of the +ship. I spoke with the Duke of York about business, who called me Pepys +by name, and upon my desire did promise me his future favour. Great +expectation of the King's making some Knights, but there was none. About +noon (though the brigantine that Beale made was there ready to carry him) +yet he would go in my Lord's barge with the two Dukes. Our Captain +steered, and my Lord went along bare with him. I went, and Mr. Mansell, +and one of the King's footmen, with a dog that the King loved, + + [Charles II.'s love of dogs is well known, but it is not so well + known that his dogs were continually being stolen from him. In the + "Mercurius Publicus," June 28-July 5, 1660, is the following + advertisement, apparently drawn up by the King himself: "We must + call upon you again for a Black Dog between a greyhound and a + spaniel, no white about him, onely a streak on his brest, and his + tayl a little bobbed. It is His Majesties own Dog, and doubtless + was stoln, for the dog was not born nor bred in England, and would + never forsake His master. Whoesoever findes him may acquaint any at + Whitehal for the Dog was better known at Court, than those who stole + him. Will they never leave robbing his Majesty! Must he not keep a + Dog? This dog's place (though better than some imagine) is the only + place which nobody offers to beg." (Quoted in "Notes and Queries," + 7th S., vii. 26, where are printed two other advertisements of + Charles's lost dogs.)] + +(which [dirted] the boat, which made us laugh, and me think that a King +and all that belong to him are but just as others are), in a boat by +ourselves, and so got on shore when the King did, who was received by +General Monk with all imaginable love and respect at his entrance upon the +land of Dover. Infinite the crowd of people and the horsemen, citizens, +and noblemen of all sorts. The Mayor of the town came and gave him his +white staff, the badge of his place, which the King did give him again. +The Mayor also presented him from the town a very rich Bible, which he +took and said it was the thing that he loved above all things in the +world. A canopy was provided for him to stand under, which he did, and +talked awhile with General Monk and others, and so into a stately coach +there set for him, and so away through the town towards Canterbury, +without making any stay at Dover. The shouting and joy expressed by all +is past imagination. Seeing that my Lord did not stir out of his barge, I +got into a boat, and so into his barge, whither Mr. John Crew stepped, and +spoke a word or two to my Lord, and so returned, we back to the ship, and +going did see a man almost drowned that fell out of his boat into the sea, +but with much ado was got out. My Lord almost transported with joy that +he had done all this without any the least blur or obstruction in the +world, that could give an offence to any, and with the great honour he +thought it would be to him. Being overtook by the brigantine, my Lord and +we went out of our barge into it, and so went on board with Sir W. Batten, + + [Clarendon describes William Batten as an obscure fellow, and, + although unknown to the service, a good seaman, who was in 1642 made + Surveyor to the Navy; in which employ he evinced great animosity + against the King. The following year, while Vice-Admiral to the + Earl of Warwick, he chased a Dutch man-of-war into Burlington Bay, + knowing that Queen Henrietta Maria was on board; and then, learning + that she had landed and was lodged on the quay, he fired above a + hundred shot upon the house, some of which passing through her + majesty's chamber, she was obliged, though indisposed, to retire for + safety into the open fields. This act, brutal as it was, found + favour with the Parliament. But Batten became afterwards + discontented; and, when a portion of the fleet revolted, he carried + the "Constant Warwick," one of the best ships in the Parliament + navy, over into Holland, with several seamen of note. For this act + of treachery he was knighted and made a Rear-Admiral by Prince + Charles. We hear no more of Batten till the Restoration, when he + became a Commissioner of the Navy, and was soon after M.P. for + Rochester. See an account of his second wife, in note to November + 24th, 1660, and of his illness and death, October 5th, 1667. He had + a son, Benjamin, and a daughter, Martha, by his first wife.--B.] + +and the Vice and Rear-Admirals. At night my Lord supped and Mr. Thomas +Crew with Captain Stoakes, I supped with the Captain, who told me what the +King had given us. My Lord returned late, and at his coming did give me +order to cause the marke to be gilded, and a Crown and C. R. to be made +at the head of the coach table, where the King to-day with his own hand +did mark his height, which accordingly I caused the painter to do, and is +now done as is to be seen. + +26th. Thanks to God I got to bed in my own poor cabin, and slept well +till 9 o'clock this morning. Mr. North and Dr. Clerke and all the great +company being gone, I found myself very uncouth all this day for want +thereof. My Lord dined with the Vice-Admiral to-day (who is as officious, +poor man! as any spaniel can be; but I believe all to no purpose, for I +believe he will not hold his place), so I dined commander at the coach +table to-day, and all the officers of the ship with me, and Mr. White of +Dover. After a game or two at nine-pins, to work all the afternoon, +making above twenty orders. In the evening my Lord having been a-shore, +the first time that he hath been a-shore since he came out of the Hope +(having resolved not to go till he had brought his Majesty into England), +returned on board with a great deal of pleasure. I supped with the +Captain in his cabin with young Captain Cuttance, and afterwards a +messenger from the King came with a letter, and to go into France, and by +that means we supped again with him at 12 o'clock at night. This night +the Captain told me that my Lord had appointed me L30 out of the 1000 +ducats which the King had given to the ship, at which my heart was very +much joyed. To bed. + +27th (Lord's day). Called up by John Goods to see the Garter and Heralds +coat, which lay in the coach, brought by Sir Edward Walker, + + [Edward Walker was knighted February 2nd, 1644-5, and on the 24th of + the same month was sworn in as Garter King at Arms. He adhered to + the cause of the king, and published "Iter Carolinum", being a + succinct account of the necessitated marches, retreats, and + sufferings of his Majesty King Charles I., from Jan. 10, 1641, to + the time of his death in 1648, collected by a daily attendant upon + his sacred Majesty during all that time: He joined Charles II. in + exile, and received the reward of his loyalty at the Restoration. + He died at Whitehall, February 19th, 1676-7, and was buried at + Stratford-on-Avon, his daughter having married Sir John Clepton of + that place.] + +King at Arms, this morning, for my Lord. My Lord hath summoned all the +Commanders on board him, to see the ceremony, which was thus: Sir Edward +putting on his coat, and having laid the George and Garter, and the King's +letter to my Lord, upon a crimson cushion (in the coach, all the +Commanders standing by), makes three congees to him, holding the cushion +in his arms. Then laying it down with the things upon it upon a chair, he +takes the letter, and delivers it to my Lord, which my Lord breaks open +and gives him to read. It was directed to our trusty and well beloved Sir +Edward Montagu, Knight, one of our Generals at sea, and our Companion +elect of our Noble Order of the Garter. The contents of the letter is to +show that the Kings of England have for many years made use of this +honour, as a special mark of favour, to persons of good extraction and +virtue (and that many Emperors, Kings and Princes of other countries have +borne this honour), and that whereas my Lord is of a noble family, and +hath now done the King such service by sea, at this time, as he hath done; +he do send him this George and Garter to wear as Knight of the Order, with +a dispensation for the other ceremonies of the habit of the Order, and +other things, till hereafter, when it can be done. So the herald putting +the ribbon about his neck, and the Garter about his left leg, he salutes +him with joy as Knight of the Garter, and that was all. After that was +done, and the Captain and I had breakfasted with Sir Edward while my Lord +was writing of a letter, he took his leave of my Lord, and so to shore +again to the King at Canterbury, where he yesterday gave the like honour +to General Monk, + + ["His Majesty put the George on his Excellency, and the two Dukes + put on the Garter. The Princes thus honoured the Lord-General for + the restoration of that lawful family."--Rugge's Diurnal.] + +who are the only two for many years that have had the Garter given them, +before they had other honours of Earldom, or the like, excepting only the +Duke of Buckingham, who was only Sir George Villiers when he was made +Knight of the Garter. A while after Mr. Thos. Crew and Mr. J. Pickering +(who had staid long enough to make all the world see him to be a fool), +took ship for London. So there now remain no strangers with my Lord but +Mr. Hetley, who had been with us a day before the King went from us. My +Lord and the ship's company down to sermon. I staid above to write and +look over my new song book, which came last night to me from London in +lieu of that that my Lord had of me. The officers being all on board, +there was not room for me at table, so I dined in my cabin, where, among +other things, Mr. Drum brought me a lobster and a bottle of oil, instead +of a bottle of vinegar, whereby I spoiled my dinner. Many orders in the +ordering of ships this afternoon. Late to a sermon. After that up to the +Lieutenant's cabin, where Mr. Sheply, I, and the Minister supped, and +after that I went down to W. Howe's cabin, and there, with a great deal of +pleasure, singing till it was late. After that to bed. + +28th. Called up at two in the morning for letters for my Lord from the +Duke of York, but I went to bed again till 5. Trimmed early this morning. +This morning the Captain did call over all the men in the ship (not the +boys), and give every one of them a ducat of the King's money that he gave +the ship, and the officers according to their quality. I received in the +Captain's cabin, for my share, sixty ducats. The rest of the morning busy +writing letters. So was my Lord that he would not come to dinner. After +dinner to write again in order to sending to London, but my Lord did not +finish his, so we did not send to London to-day. A great part of the +afternoon at nine-pins with my Lord and Mr. Hetley. I lost about 4s. +Supped with my Lord, and after that to bed. At night I had a strange +dream of--myself, which I really did, and having kicked my clothes off, I +got cold; and found myself all much wet in the morning, and had a great +deal of pain . . . which made me very melancholy. + +29th. The King's birthday. Busy all the morning writing letters to +London, among the rest one to Mr. Chetwind to give me an account of the +fees due to the Herald for the Order of the Garter, which my Lord desires +to know. After dinner got all ready and sent away Mr. Cook to London with +a letter and token to my wife. After that abroad to shore with my Lord +(which he offered me of himself, saying that I had a great deal of work to +do this month, which was very true). On shore we took horses, my Lord and +Mr. Edward, Mr. Hetly and I, and three or four servants, and had a great +deal of pleasure in riding. Among other things my Lord showed me a house +that cost a great deal of money, and is built in so barren and +inconvenient a place that my Lord calls it the fool's house. At last we +came upon a very high cliff by the sea-side, and rode under it, we having +laid great wagers, I and Dr. Mathews, that it was not so high as Paul's; +my Lord and Mr. Hetly, that it was. But we riding under it, my Lord made +a pretty good measure of it with two sticks, and found it to be not above +thirty-five yards high, and Paul's is reckoned to be about ninety. From +thence toward the barge again, and in our way found the people at Deal +going to make a bonfire for joy of the day, it being the King's birthday, +and had some guns which they did fire at my Lord's coming by. For which I +did give twenty shillings among them to drink. While we were on the top +of the cliffe, we saw and heard our guns in the fleet go off for the same +joy. And it being a pretty fair day we could see above twenty miles into +France. Being returned on board, my Lord called for Mr. Sheply's book of +Paul's, by which we were confirmed in our wager. After that to supper and +then to musique, and so to bed. The pain that I have got last night by +cold is not yet gone, but troubles me at the time of . . . . This day, +it is thought, the King do enter the city of London. + + ["Divers maidens, in behalf of themselves and others, presented a + petition to the Lord Mayor of London, wherein they pray his Lordship + to grant them leave and liberty to meet His Majesty on the day of + his passing through the city; and if their petition be granted, that + they will all be clad in white waistcoats and crimson petticoats, + and other ornaments of triumph and rejoicing."-Rugge's Diurnal, May, + 1660.--B.] + +30th. About eight o'clock in the morning the lieutenant came to me to +know whether I would eat a dish of mackerel, newly catched, for my +breakfast, which the Captain and we did in the coach. All yesterday and +to-day I had a great deal of pain . . . and in my back, which made me +afeard. But it proved nothing but cold, which I took yesterday night. All +this morning making up my accounts, in which I counted that I had made +myself now worth about L80, at which my heart was glad, and blessed God. +Many Dover men come and dine with my Lord. My Lord at ninepins in the +afternoon. In the afternoon Mr. Sheply told me how my Lord had put me +down for 70 guilders among the money which was given to my Lord's +servants, which my heart did much rejoice at. My Lord supped alone in his +chamber. Sir R. Stayner supped with us, and among other things told us +how some of his men did grumble that no more of the Duke's money come to +their share and so would not receive any; whereupon he called up those +that had taken it, and gives them three shares apiece more, which was very +good, and made good sport among the seamen. To bed. + +31st. This day my Lord took physic, and came not out of his chamber. + +All the morning making orders. After dinner a great while below in the +great cabin trying with W. Howe some of Mr. Laws' songs,' particularly +that of "What is a kiss," with which we had a great deal of pleasure. +After that to making of orders again. Captain Sparling of the Assistance +brought me a pair of silk stockings of a light blue, which I was much +pleased with. The Captain and I to supper, and after that a most pleasant +walk till to at night with him upon the deck, it being a fine evening. My +pain was gone again that I had yesterday, blessed be God. This day the +month ends, I in very good health, and all the world in a merry mood +because of the King's coming. This day I began to teach Mr. Edward; who I +find to have a very good foundation laid for his Latin by Mr. Fuller. I +expect every minute to hear how my poor wife do. I find myself in all +things well as to body and mind, but troubled for the absence of my wife. + + + + + ETEXT EDITOR'S BOOKMARKS: + + An exceeding pretty lass, and right for the sport + And in all this not so much as one + Bought for the love of the binding three books + Drinking of the King's health upon their knees in the streets + Fashionable and black spots + He and I lay in one press bed, there being two more + He is, I perceive, wholly sceptical, as well as I + He that must do the business, or at least that can hinder it + He was fain to lie in the priest's hole a good while + If it should come in print my name maybe at it + In comes Mr. North very sea-sick from shore + John Pickering on board, like an ass, with his feathers + Made to drink, that they might know him not to be a Roundhead + My Lord, who took physic to-day and was in his chamber + Presbyterians against the House of Lords + Protestants as to the Church of Rome are wholly fanatiques + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's Diary of Samuel Pepys, May 1660, by Samuel Pepys + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAY 1660 *** + +***** This file should be named 4121.txt or 4121.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/2/4121/ + +Produced by David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Hart +through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project"). +Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright +on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and +distribute it in the United States without permission and +without paying copyright royalties.

WHEATLEY F.S.A. + + + + DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS. + MAY + 1660 + + +May 1st. This morning I was told how the people of Deal have set up two +or three Maypoles, and have hung up their flags upon the top of them, and +do resolve to be very merry to-day. It being a very pleasant day, I +wished myself in Hide Park. This day I do count myself to have had full +two years of perfect cure for the stone, for which God of heaven be +blessed. This day Captain Parker came on board, and without his +expectation I had a commission for him for the Nonsuch frigate + + [The "Nonsuch" was a fourth-rate of thirty-two guns, built at + Deptford in 1646 by Peter Pett, jun. The captain was John Parker.] + +(he being now in the Cheriton), for which he gave me a French pistole. +Captain H. Cuttance has commission for the Cheriton. After dinner to +nine-pins, and won something. The rest of the afternoon in my cabin +writing and piping. While we were at supper we heard a great noise upon +the Quarter Deck, so we all rose instantly, and found it was to save the +coxon of the Cheriton, who, dropping overboard, could not be saved, but +was drowned. To-day I put on my suit that was altered from the great +skirts to little ones. To-day I hear they were very merry at Deal, +setting up the King's flag upon one of their maypoles, and drinking his +health upon their knees in the streets, and firing the guns, which the +soldiers of the Castle threatened; but durst not oppose. + + + +2nd. In the morning at a breakfast of radishes at the Purser's cabin. +After that to writing till dinner. At which time comes Dunne from +London, with letters that tell us the welcome news of the Parliament's +votes yesterday, which will be remembered for the happiest May-day that +bath been many a year to England. The King's letter was read in the +House, wherein he submits himself and all things to them, as to an Act of +Oblivion to all, + + ["His Majesty added thereunto an excellent Declaration for the + safety and repose of those, who tortured in their consciences, for + having partaken in the rebellion, might fear the punishment of it, + and in that fear might oppose the tranquillity of the Estate, and + the calling in of their lawful Prince. It is printed and published + as well as the letter, but that shall not hinder me to say, that + there was never seen a more perfect assemblage of all the most + excellent natural qualities, and of all the venues, as well Royal as + Christian, wherewith a great Prince may be endowed, than was found + in those two wonderful productions."--Sir William Lowers 'Relation . + . . of the voiage and Residence Which . . . Charles the II. + Hath made in Holland,' Hague, 1660, folio, p. 3.] + +unless they shall please to except any, as to the confirming of the sales +of the King's and Church lands, if they see good. The House upon reading +the letter, ordered L50,000 to be forthwith provided to send to His +Majesty for his present supply; and a committee chosen to return an +answer of thanks to His Majesty for his gracious letter; and that the +letter be kept among the records of the Parliament; and in all this not +so much as one No. So that Luke Robinson himself stood up and made a +recantation for what he had done, and promises to be a loyal subject to +his Prince for the time to come. The City of London have put a +Declaration, wherein they do disclaim their owing any other government +but that of a King, Lords, and Commons. Thanks was given by the House to +Sir John Greenville, + + [Created Earl of Bath, 1661; son of Sir Bevil Grenville, killed at + the battle of Lansdowne; he was, when a boy, left for dead on the + field at the second battle of Newbury, and said to have been the + only person entrusted by Charles II. and Monk in bringing about the + Restoration.] + +one of the bedchamber to the King, who brought the letter, and they +continued bare all the time it was reading. Upon notice made from the +Lords to the Commons, of their desire that the Commons would join with +them in their vote for King, Lords, and Commons; the Commons did concur +and voted that all books whatever that are out against the Government of +King, Lords, and Commons, should be brought into the House and burned. +Great joy all yesterday at London, and at night more bonfires than ever, +and ringing of bells, and drinking of the King's health upon their knees +in the streets, which methinks is a little too much. But every body +seems to be very joyfull in the business, insomuch that our sea- +commanders now begin to say so too, which a week ago they would not do. + + ["The picture of King Charles II. was often set up in houses, + without the least molestation, whereas a while ago, it was almost a + hanging matter so to do; but now the Rump Parliament was so hated + and jeered at, that the butchers' boys would say, 'Will you buy any + Parliament rumps and kidneys?' And it was a very ordinary thing to + see little children make a fire in the streets, and burn rumps." + --Rugge's Diurnal.--B.] + +And our seamen, as many as had money or credit for drink, did do nothing +else this evening. This day came Mr. North (Sir Dudley North's son) on +board, to spend a little time here, which my Lord was a little troubled +at, but he seems to be a fine gentleman, and at night did play his part +exceeding well at first sight. After musique I went up to the Captain's +Cabin with him and Lieutenant Ferrers, who came hither to-day from London +to bring this news to my Lord, and after a bottle of wine we all to bed. + + + +3d. This morning my Lord showed me the King's declaration and his letter +to the two Generals to be communicated to the fleet. + + ["King Charles II. his Declaration to all his loving Subjects of the + Kingdome of England, dated from his Court at Breda in Holland 4/14 + of April, 1660, and read in Parliament with his Majesties Letter of + the same date to his Excellence the Ld. Gen. Monck to be + communicated to the Ld. President of the Council of State and + to the Officers of the Army under his Command. London, Printed by + W. Godbid for John Playford in the Temple, 1660." 40, pp. 8.] + +The contents of the letter are his offer of grace to all that will come +in within forty days, only excepting them that the Parliament shall +hereafter except. That the sales of lands during these troubles, and all +other things, shall be left to the Parliament, by which he will stand. +The letter dated at Breda, April, 4 1660, in the 12th year of his reign. +Upon the receipt of it this morning by an express, Mr. Phillips, one of +the messengers of the Council from General Monk, my Lord summoned a +council of war, and in the mean time did dictate to me how he would have +the vote ordered which he would have pass this council. Which done, the +Commanders all came on board, and the council sat in the coach (the first +council of war that had been in my time), where I read the letter and +declaration; and while they were discoursing upon it, I seemed to draw up +a vote, which being offered, they passed. Not one man seemed to say no +to it, though I am confident many in their hearts were against it. After +this was done, I went up to the quarter-deck with my Lord and the +Commanders, and there read both the papers and the vote; which done, and +demanding their opinion, the seamen did all of them cry out, "God bless +King Charles!" with the greatest joy imaginable. That being done, Sir +R. Stayner, who had invited us yesterday, took all the Commanders and +myself on board him to dinner, which not being ready, I went with Captain +Hayward to the Plimouth and Essex, and did what I had to do there and +returned, where very merry at dinner. After dinner, to the rest of the +ships (staid at the Assistance to hear the harper a good while) quite +through the fleet. Which was a very brave sight to visit all the ships, +and to be received with the respect and honour that I was on board them +all; and much more to see the great joy that I brought to all men; not +one through the whole fleet showing the least dislike of the business. +In the evening as I was going on board the Vice-Admiral, the General +began to fire his guns, which he did all that he had in the ship, and so +did all the rest of the Commanders, which was very gallant, and to hear +the bullets go hissing over our heads as we were in the boat. This done +and finished my Proclamation, I returned to the Nazeby, where my Lord was +much pleased to hear how all the fleet took it in a transport of joy, +showed me a private letter of the King's to him, and another from the +Duke of York in such familiar style as to their common friend, with all +kindness imaginable. And I found by the letters, and so my Lord told me +too, that there had been many letters passed between them for a great +while, and I perceive unknown to Monk. And among the rest that had +carried these letters Sir John Boys is one, and that Mr. Norwood, which +had a ship to carry him over the other day, when my Lord would not have +me put down his name in the book. The King speaks of his being courted +to come to the Hague, but do desire my Lord's advice whither to come to +take ship. And the Duke offers to learn the seaman's trade of him, in +such familiar words as if Jack Cole and I had writ them. This was very +strange to me, that my Lord should carry all things so wisely and +prudently as he do, and I was over joyful to see him in so good +condition, and he did not a little please himself to tell me how he had +provided for himself so great a hold on the King. + +After this to supper, and then to writing of letters till twelve at +night, and so up again at three in the morning. My Lord seemed to put +great confidence in me, and would take my advice in many things. I +perceive his being willing to do all the honour in the world to Monk, and +to let him have all the honour of doing the business, though he will many +times express his thoughts of him to be but a thick-sculled fool. So +that I do believe there is some agreement more than ordinary between the +King and my Lord to let Monk carry on the business, for it is he that +must do the business, or at least that can hinder it, if he be not +flattered and observed. This, my Lord will hint himself sometimes. My +Lord, I perceive by the King's letter, had writ to him about his father, +Crew,--[When only seventeen years old, Montagu had married Jemima, +daughter of John Crew, created afterwards Baron Crew of Stene.]--and the +King did speak well of him; but my Lord tells me, that he is afeard that +he hath too much concerned himself with the Presbyterians against the +House of Lords, which will do him a great discourtesy. + + + +4th. I wrote this morning many letters, and to all the copies of the +vote of the council of war I put my name, that if it should come in print +my name maybe at it. I sent a copy of the vote to Doling, inclosed in +this letter: + + "SIR, + + "He that can fancy a fleet (like ours) in her pride, with pendants + loose, guns roaring, caps flying, and the loud 'Vive le Roys,' + echoed from one ship's company to another, he, and he only, can + apprehend the joy this inclosed vote was received with, or the + blessing he thought himself possessed of that bore it, and is + + "Your humble servant." + + +About nine o'clock I got all my letters done, and sent them by the +messenger that came yesterday. This morning came Captain Isham on board +with a gentleman going to the King, by whom very cunningly, my Lord tells +me, he intends to send an account of this day's and yesterday's actions +here, notwithstanding he had writ to the Parliament to have leave of them +to send the King the answer of the fleet. Since my writing of the last +paragraph, my Lord called me to him to read his letter to the King, to +see whether I could find any slips in it or no. And as much of the +letter' as I can remember, is thus: + + "May it please your Most Excellent Majesty," and so begins. + + "That he yesterday received from General Monk his Majesty's letter + and direction; and that General Monk had desired him to write to the + Parliament to have leave to send the vote of the seamen before he + did send it to him, which he had done by writing to both Speakers; + but for his private satisfaction he had sent it thus privately (and + so the copy of the proceedings yesterday was sent him), and that + this come by a gentleman that came this day on board, intending to + wait upon his Majesty, that he is my Lord's countryman, and one + whose friends have suffered much on his Majesty's behalf. That my + Lords Pembroke and Salisbury are put out of the House of Lords. + That my Lord is very joyful that other countries do pay him the + civility and respect due to him; and that he do much rejoice to see + that the King do resolve to receive none of their assistance (or + some such words), from them, he having strength enough in the love + and loyalty of his own subjects to support him. That his Majesty + had chosen the best place, Scheveling,--[Schevingen, the port of the + Hague]--for his embarking, and that there is nothing in the world of + which he is more ambitious, than to have the honour of attending his + Majesty, which he hoped would be speedy. That he had commanded the + vessel to attend at Helversluce--[Hellevoetsluis, in South Holland] + --till this gentleman returns, that so if his Majesty do not think + it fit to command the fleet himself, yet that he may be there to + receive his commands and bring them to his Lordship. He ends his + letter, that he is confounded with the thoughts of the high + expressions of love to him in the King's letter, and concludes, + + "Your most loyall, dutifull, faithfull and obedient subject and + servant, E. M." + + +The rest of the afternoon at ninepins. In the evening came a packet from +London, among the rest a letter from my wife, which tells me that she has +not been well, which did exceedingly trouble me, but my Lord sending Mr. +Cook at night, I wrote to her and sent a piece of gold enclosed to her, +and wrote also to Mrs. Bowyer, and enclosed a half piece to her for a +token. After supper at the table in the coach, my Lord talking +concerning the uncertainty of the places of the Exchequer to them that +had them now; he did at last think of an office which do belong to him in +case the King do restore every man to his places that ever had been +patent, which is to be one of the clerks of the signet, which will be a +fine employment for one of his sons. After all this discourse we broke +up and to bed. + +In the afternoon came a minister on board, one Mr. Sharpe, who is going +to the King; who tells me that Commissioners are chosen both of Lords and +Commons to go to the King; and that Dr. Clarges + + [Thomas Clarges, physician to the army, created a baronet, 1674, + died 1695. He had been previously knighted; his sister Anne married + General Monk. "The Parliament also permitted General Monk to send + Mr. Clarges, his brother-in-law, accompanied with some officers of + the army, to assure his Majesty of the fidelity and obedience of the + army, which had made publick and solemn protestations thereof, after + the Letter and Declaration was communicated unto them by the + General."--Sir William Lowers Relation . . . of the Voiage and + Residence which . . . Charles the II. Hath made in Holland, + Hague, 1660, folio.] + +is going to him from the Army, and that he will be here to-morrow. My +letters at night tell me, that the House did deliver their letter to Sir +John Greenville, in answer to the King's sending, and that they give him +L500 for his pains, to buy him a jewel, and that besides the L50,000 +ordered to be borrowed of the City for the present use of the King, the +twelve companies of the City do give every one of them to his Majesty, as +a present, L1000. + + + +5th. All the morning very busy writing letters to London, and a packet +to Mr. Downing, to acquaint him with what had been done lately in the +fleet. And this I did by my Lord's command, who, I thank him, did of +himself think of doing it, to do me a kindness, for he writ a letter +himself to him, thanking him for his kindness to me. All the afternoon +at ninepins, at night after supper good musique, my Lord, Mr. North, I +and W. Howe. After that to bed. This evening came Dr. Clarges to Deal, +going to the King; where the towns-people strewed the streets with herbes +against his coming, for joy of his going. Never was there so general a +content as there is now. I cannot but remember that our parson did, in +his prayer to-night, pray for the long life and happiness of our King and +dread Soveraign, that may last as long as the sun and moon endureth. + + + +6th (Lord's day). This morning while we were at sermon comes in Dr. +Clarges and a dozen gentlemen to see my Lord, who, after sermon, dined +with him; I remember that last night upon discourse concerning Clarges my +Lord told me that he was a man of small entendimiento.--[Entendimiento, +Spanish: the understanding.]--This afternoon there was a gentleman with +me, an officer of Dunkirk going over, who came to me for an order and +told me he was lately with my uncle and Aunt Fenner and that Kate's fits +of the convulsions did hold her still. It fell very well to-day, a +stranger preached here for Mr. Ibbot, one Mr. Stanley, who prayed for +King Charles, by the Grace of God, &c., which gave great contentment to +the gentlemen that were on board here, and they said they would talk of +it, when they come to Breda, as not having it done yet in London so +publickly. After they were gone from on board, my Lord writ a letter to +the King and give it to me to carry privately to Sir William Compton' on +board the Assistance, which I did, and after a health to his Majesty on +board there, I left them under sail for Breda. Back again and found them +at sermon. I went up to my cabin and looked over my accounts, and find +that, all my debts paid and my preparations to sea paid for, I have L640 +clear in my purse. After supper to bed. + + + +7th. This morning Captain Cuttance sent me 12 bottles of Margate ale. +Three of them I drank presently with some friends in the Coach. My Lord +went this morning about the flag-ships in a boat, to see what alterations +there must be, as to the arms and flags. He did give me order also to +write for silk flags and scarlett waistcloathes. + + [Waist-cloths are the painted canvas coverings of the hammocks which + are stowed in the waist-nettings.] + +For a rich barge; for a noise of trumpets, + + [A set or company of musicians, an expression constantly used by old + writers without any disparaging meaning. It is sometimes applied to + voices as well as to instruments.] + +and a set of fidlers. Very great deal of company come today, among +others Mr. Bellasses, Sir Thomas Lenthropp, Sir Henry Chichley, Colonel +Philip Honiwood, and Captain Titus, the last of whom my Lord showed all +our cabins, and I suppose he is to take notice what room there will be +for the King's entertainment. Here were also all the Jurates of the town +of Dover come to give my Lord a visit, and after dinner all went away. +I could not but observe that the Vice-Admiral after dinner came into the +great cabin below, where the Jurates and I and the commanders for want of +room dined, and there told us we must drink a health to the King, and +himself called for a bottle of wine, and begun his and the Duke of +York's. In the afternoon I lost 5s. at ninepins. After supper musique, +and to bed. Having also among us at the Coach table wrote a letter to +the French ambassador, in French, about the release of a ship we had +taken. After I was in bed Mr. Sheply and W. Howe came and sat in my +cabin, where I gave them three bottles of Margate ale, and sat laughing +and very merry, till almost one o'clock in the morning, and so good +night. + + + +8th. All the morning busy. After dinner come several persons of honour, +as my Lord St. John and others, for convoy to Flushing, and great giving +of them salutes. My Lord and we at nine-pins: I lost 9s. While we were +at play Mr. Cook brings me word of my wife. He went to Huntsmore to see +her, and brought her and my father Bowyer to London, where he left her at +my father's, very well, and speaks very well of her love to me. My +letters to-day tell me how it was intended that the King should be +proclaimed to-day in London, with a great deal of pomp. I had also news +who they are that are chosen of the Lords and Commons to attend the King. +And also the whole story of what we did the other day in the fleet, +at reading of the King's declaration, and my name at the bottom of it. +After supper some musique and to bed. I resolving to rise betimes to- +morrow to write letters to London. + + + +9th. Up very early, writing a letter to the King, as from the two +Generals of the fleet, in answer to his letter to them, wherein my Lord +do give most humble thanks for his gracious letter and declaration; and +promises all duty and obedience to him. This letter was carried this +morning to Sir Peter Killigrew, + + [Sir Peter Killigrew, Knight, of Arwenack, Cornwall, was known as + "Peter the Post," from the alacrity with which he despatched "like + wild fire" all the messages and other commissions entrusted to him + in the King's cause. His son Peter, who succeeded his uncle as + second baronet in 1665, was M.P. for Camelford in 1660.] + +who came hither this morning early to bring an order from the Lords' +House to my Lord, giving him power to write an answer to the King. This +morning my Lord St. John and other persons of honour were here to see my +Lord, and so away to Flushing. After they were gone my Lord and I to +write letters to London, which we sent by Mr. Cook, who was very desirous +to go because of seeing my wife before she went out of town. As we were +sitting down to dinner, in comes Noble with a letter from the House of +Lords to my Lord, to desire him to provide ships to transport the +Commissioners to the King, which are expected here this week. He brought +us certain news that the King was proclaimed yesterday with great pomp, +and brought down one of the Proclamations, with great joy to us all; for +which God be praised. After dinner to ninepins and lost 5s. This +morning came Mr. Saunderson, + + [Afterwards Sir William Sanderson, gentleman of the chamber, author + of the "History of Mary Queen of Scots, James I., and Charles I." + His wife, Dame Bridget, was mother of the maids.] + +that writ the story of the King, hither, who is going over to the King. +He calls me cozen and seems a very knowing man. After supper to bed +betimes, leaving my Lord talking in the Coach with the Captain. + + + +10th. This morning came on board Mr. Pinkney and his son, going to the +King with a petition finely writ by Mr. Whore, for to be the King's +embroiderer; for whom and Mr. Saunderson I got a ship. This morning come +my Lord Winchelsea and a great deal of company, and dined here. In the +afternoon, while my Lord and we were at musique in the great cabin below, +comes in a messenger to tell us that Mr. Edward Montagu, + + [Sir Edward Montagu's eldest son, afterwards second Earl of + Sandwich, called by Pepys "The child."] + +my Lord's son, was come to Deal, who afterwards came on board with Mr. +Pickering with him. The child was sick in the evening. At night, while +my Lord was at supper, in comes my Lord Lauderdale and Sir John +Greenville, who supped here, and so went away. After they were gone, my +Lord called me into his cabin, and told me how he was commanded to set +sail presently for the King, + + ["Ordered that General Montagu do observe the command of His Majesty + for the disposing of the fleet, in order to His Majesty's returning + home to England to his kingly government: and that all proceedings + in law be in His Majesty's name."--Rugge's Diurnal.--B.] + +and was very glad thereof, and so put me to writing of letters and other +work that night till it was very late, he going to bed. I got him +afterwards to sign things in bed. After I had done some more work I to +bed also. + + + +11th. Up very early in the morning, and so about a great deal of +business in order to our going hence to-day. Burr going on shore last +night made me very angry. So that I sent for Mr. Pitts to come tome from +the Vice-Admiral's, intending not to have employed Burr any more. But +Burr by and by coming and desiring humbly that I would forgive him and +Pitts not coming I did set him to work. This morning we began to pull +down all the State's arms in the fleet, having first sent to Dover for +painters and others to come to set up the King's. The rest of the +morning writing of letters to London which I afterwards sent by Dunne. +I had this morning my first opportunity of discoursing with Dr. Clarke, + + [Timothy Clarke, M. D., one of the original Fellows of the Royal + Society. He was appointed one of the physicians in ordinary to + Charles II. on the death of Dr. Quartermaine in 1667.] + +whom I found to be a very pretty man and very knowing. He is now going +in this ship to the King. There dined here my Lord Crafford and my Lord +Cavendish, and other Scotchmen whom I afterwards ordered to be received +on board the Plymouth, and to go along with us. After dinner we set sail +from the Downs, I leaving my boy to go to Deal for my linen. In the +afternoon overtook us three or four gentlemen; two of the Berties, and +one Mr. Dormerhoy, a Scotch gentleman, whom I afterwards found to be a +very fine man, who, telling my Lord that they heard the Commissioners +were come out of London to-day, my Lord dropt anchor over against Dover +Castle (which give us about thirty guns in passing), and upon a high +debate with the Vice and Rear Admiral whether it were safe to go and not +stay for the Commissioners, he did resolve to send Sir R. Stayner to +Dover, to enquire of my Lord Winchelsea, whether or no they are come out +of London, and then to resolve to-morrow morning of going or not; which +was done. It blew very hard all this night that I was afeard of my boy. +About 11 at night came the boats from Deal, with great store of +provisions, by the same token John Goods told me that above 20 of the +fowls are smothered, but my boy was put on board the Northwich. To bed. + + + +12th. This morning I inquired for my boy, whether he was come well or +no, and it was told me that he was well in bed. My Lord called me to his +chamber, he being in bed, and gave me many orders to make for direction +for the ships that are left in the Downs, giving them the greatest charge +in the world to bring no passengers with them, when they come after us to +Scheveling Bay, excepting Mr. Edward Montagu, Mr. Thomas Crew, and Sir H. +Wright. Sir R. Stayner hath been here early in the morning and told my +Lord, that my Lord Winchelsea understands by letters, that the +Commissioners are only to come to Dover to attend the coming over of the +King. So my Lord did give order for weighing anchor, which we did, and +sailed all day. In our way in the morning, coming in the midway between +Dover and Calais, we could see both places very easily, and very pleasant +it was to me that the further we went the more we lost sight of both +lands. In the afternoon at cards with Mr. North and the Doctor.-- +[Clarke]--There by us, in the Lark frigate, Sir R. Freeman and some +others, going from the King to England, come to see my Lord and so onward +on their voyage. In the afternoon upon the quarterdeck the Doctor told +Mr. North and me an admirable story called "The Fruitless Precaution," an +exceeding pretty story and worthy my getting without book when I can get +the book.[??] This evening came Mr. Sheply on board, whom we had left at +Deal and Dover getting of provision and borrowing of money. In the +evening late, after discoursing with the Doctor, &c., to bed. + + + +13th (Lord's day). Trimmed in the morning, after that to the cook's room +with Mr. Sheply, the first time that I was there this voyage. Then to +the quarter-deck, upon which the tailors and painters were at work, +cutting out some pieces of yellow cloth into the fashion of a crown and +C. R. and put it upon a fine sheet, and that into the flag instead of +the State's arms, which after dinner was finished and set up after it had +been shewn to my Lord, who took physic to-day and was in his chamber, and +liked it so well as to bid me give the tailors 20s. among them for doing +of it. This morn Sir J. Boys and Capt. Isham met us in the Nonsuch, the +first of whom, after a word or two with my Lord, went forward, the other +staid. I heard by them how Mr. Downing had never made any address to the +King, and for that was hated exceedingly by the Court, and that he was in +a Dutch ship which sailed by us, then going to England with disgrace. +Also how Mr. Morland was knighted by the King this week, and that the +King did give the reason of it openly, that it was for his giving him +intelligence all the time he was clerk to Secretary Thurloe. In the +afternoon a council of war, only to acquaint them that the Harp must be +taken out of all their flags, + + [In May, 1658, the old Union Jack (being the crosses of St. George + and St. Andrew combined) was revived, with the Irish harp over the + centre of the flag. This harp was taken off at the Restoration. + (See "The National Flags of the Commonwealth," by H. W. Henfrey," + Journ. Brit. Arch. Assoc.," vol. xxxi, p. 54.) The sign of the + "Commonwealth Arms" was an uncommon one, but a token of one exists-- + "Francis Wood at ye Commonwealth arms in Mary Maudlens" [St. Mary + Magdalen, Old Fish Street].] + +it being very offensive to the King. Mr. Cook, who came after us in the +Yarmouth, bringing me a letter from my wife and a Latin letter from my +brother John, with both of which I was exceedingly pleased. No sermon +all day, we being under sail, only at night prayers, wherein Mr. Ibbott +prayed for all that were related to us in a spiritual and fleshly way. +We came within sight of Middle's shore. Late at night we writ letters to +the King of the news of our coming, and Mr. Edward Picketing carried +them. Capt. Isham went on shore, nobody showing of him any respect; so +the old man very fairly took leave of my Lord, and my Lord very coldly +bid him "God be with you," which was very strange, but that I hear that +he keeps a great deal of prating and talking on shore, on board, at the +King's Courts, what command he had with my Lord, &c. After letters were +gone then to bed. + + + +14th. In the morning when I woke and rose, I saw myself out of the +scuttle close by the shore, which afterwards I was told to be the Dutch +shore; the Hague was clearly to be seen by us. My Lord went up in his +nightgown into the cuddy, + + ["A sort of cabin or cook-room, generally in the fore-part, but + sometimes near the stern of lighters and barges of burden."--Smyth's + Sailor's Word-Book.] + +to see how to dispose thereof for himself and us that belong to him, to +give order for our removal to-day. Some nasty Dutchmen came on board to +proffer their boats to carry things from us on shore, &c., to get money +by us. Before noon some gentlemen came on board from the shore to kiss +my Lord's hands. And by and by Mr. North and Dr. Clerke went to kiss the +Queen of Bohemia's' hands, from my Lord, with twelve attendants from on +board to wait on them, among which I sent my boy, who, like myself, is +with child to see any strange thing. After noon they came back again +after having kissed the Queen of Bohemia's hand, and were sent again by +my Lord to do the same to the Prince of Orange. + + [Son of the Prince of Orange and Mary, eldest daughter of Charles I. + --afterwards William III. He was then in his tenth year, having + been born in 1650.] + +So I got the Captain to ask leave for me to go, which my Lord did give, +and I taking my boy and judge Advocate with me, went in company with +them. The weather bad; we were sadly washed when we came near the shore, +it being very hard to land there. The shore is, as all the country +between that and the Hague, all sand. The rest of the company got a +coach by themselves; Mr. Creed and I went in the fore part of a coach +wherein were two very pretty ladies, very fashionable and with black +patches, who very merrily sang all the way and that very well, and were +very free to kiss the two blades that were with them. I took out my +flageolette and piped, but in piping I dropped my rapier-stick, but when +I came to the Hague, I sent my boy back again for it and he found it, for +which I did give him 6d., but some horses had gone over it and broke the +scabbard. The Hague is a most neat place in all respects. The houses so +neat in all places and things as is possible. Here we walked up and down +a great while, the town being now very full of Englishmen, for that the +Londoners were come on shore today. But going to see the Prince,-- +[Prince of Orange, afterwards William III.]--he was gone forth with his +governor, and so we walked up and down the town and court to see the +place; and by the help of a stranger, an Englishman, we saw a great many +places, and were made to understand many things, as the intention of may- +poles, which we saw there standing at every great man's door, of +different greatness according to the quality of the person. About 10 at +night the Prince comes home, and we found an easy admission. His +attendance very inconsiderable as for a prince; but yet handsome, and his +tutor a fine man, and himself a very pretty boy. It was bright moonshine +to-night. This done we went to a place we had taken to sup in, where a +sallet and two or three bones of mutton were provided for a matter of ten +of us which was very strange. After supper the Judge and I to another +house, leaving them there, and he and I lay in one press bed, there being +two more in the same room, but all very neat and handsome, my boy +sleeping upon a bench by me. + + + +15th. We lay till past three o'clock, then up and down the town, to see +it by daylight, where we saw the soldiers of the Prince's guard, all very +fine, and the burghers of the town with their arms and muskets as bright +as silver. And meeting this morning a schoolmaster that spoke good +English and French, he went along with us and shewed us the whole town, +and indeed I cannot speak enough of the gallantry of the town. Every +body of fashion speaks French or Latin, or both. The women many of them +very pretty and in good habits, fashionable and black spots. He went +with me to buy a couple of baskets, one of them for Mrs. Pierce, the +other for my wife. After he was gone, we having first drank with him at +our lodging, the judge and I to the Grande Salle where we were shewed the +place where the States General sit in council. The hall is a great +place, where the flags that they take from their enemies are all hung up; +and things to be sold, as in Westminster Hall, and not much unlike it, +but that not so big, but much neater. After that to a bookseller's and +bought for the love of the binding three books: the French Psalms in four +parts, Bacon's Organon, and Farnab. Rhetor. + + ["Index Rhetoricus" of Thomas Farnaby was a book which went through + several editions. The first was published at London by R. Allot in + 1633.] + +After that the judge, I and my boy by coach to Scheveling again, where we +went into a house of entertainment and drank there, the wind being very +high, and we saw two boats overset and the gallants forced to be pulled +on shore by the heels, while their trunks, portmanteaus, hats, and +feathers, were swimming in the sea. Among others I saw the ministers +that come along with the Commissioners (Mr. Case among the rest) sadly +dipped. + + [Thomas Case, born 1598, was a famous preacher and a zealous + advocate for the Solemn League and Covenant, a member of the + assembly of divines, and rector of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields. He + was one of the deputation to Charles II. at Breda, and appointed a + royal chaplain. He was ejected by the Act of Uniformity, but + remained in London after his ejection. Died May 30th, 1682.] + +So they came in where we were, and I being in haste left my Copenhagen +knife, and so lost it. Having staid here a great while a gentleman that +was going to kiss my Lord's hand, from the Queen of Bohemia, and I hired +a Dutch boat for four rixdollars to carry us on board. We were fain to +wait a great while before we could get off from the shore, the sea being +very rough. The Dutchman would fain have made all pay that came into our +boat besides us two and our company, there being many of our ship's +company got in who were on shore, but some of them had no money, having +spent all on shore. Coming on board we found all the Commissioners of +the House of Lords at dinner with my Lord, who after dinner went away for +shore. Mr. Morland, now Sir Samuel, was here on board, but I do not find +that my Lord or any body did give him any respect, he being looked upon +by him and all men as a knave. Among others he betrayed Sir Rich. +Willis + + [This is somewhat different to the usual account of Morland's + connection with Sir Richard Willis. In the beginning of 1659 + Cromwell, Thurloe, and Willis formed a plot to inveigle Charles II. + into England and into the hands of his enemies. The plot was + discussed in Thurloe's office, and Morland, who pretended to be + asleep, heard it and discovered it. Willis sent for Morland, and + received him in a cellar. He said that one of them must have + discovered the plot. He laid his hand upon the Bible and swore that + he had not been the discoverer, calling upon Morland to do the same. + Morland, with presence of mind, said he was ready to do so if Willis + would give him a reason why he should suspect him. By this ready + answer he is said to have escaped the ordeal (see Birch's "Life of + Thurloe").] + +that married Dr. F. Jones's daughter, that he had paid him L1000 at one +time by the Protector's and Secretary Thurloe's order, for intelligence +that he sent concerning the King. In the afternoon my Lord called me on +purpose to show me his fine cloathes which are now come hither, and +indeed are very rich as gold and silver can make them, only his sword he +and I do not like. In the afternoon my Lord and I walked together in the +coach two hours, talking together upon all sorts of discourse: as +religion, wherein he is, I perceive, wholly sceptical, as well as I, +saying, that indeed the Protestants as to the Church of Rome are wholly +fanatiques: he likes uniformity and form of prayer; about State-business, +among other things he told me that his conversion to the King's cause +(for so I was saying that I wondered from what time the King could look +upon him to become his friend), commenced from his being in the Sound, +when he found what usage he was likely to have from a Commonwealth. My +Lord, the Captain, and I supped in my Lord's chamber, where I did +perceive that he did begin to show me much more respect than ever he did +yet. After supper, my Lord sent for me, intending to have me play at +cards with him, but I not knowing cribbage, we fell into discourse of +many things, till it was so rough sea and the ship rolled so much that I +was not able to stand, and so he bid me go to bed. + + + +16th. Soon as I was up I went down to be trimmed below in the great +cabin, but then come in some with visits, among the rest one from Admiral +Opdam, + + [The admiral celebrated in Lord Dorset's ballad, "To all you ladies + now at land." + + "Should foggy Opdam chance to know + Our sad and dismal story; + The Dutch would scorn so weak a foe, + And quit their fort at Goree + For what resistance can they find + From men who've left their hearts behind?"--B.] + +who spoke Latin well, but not French nor English, to whom my Lord made me +to give his answer and to entertain; he brought my Lord a tierce of wine +and a barrel of butter, as a present from the Admiral. After that to +finish my trimming, and while I was doing of it in comes Mr. North very +sea-sick from shore, and to bed he goes. After that to dinner, where +Commissioner Pett was come to take care to get all things ready for the +King on board. My Lord in his best suit, this the first day, in +expectation to wait upon the King. But Mr. Edw. Pickering coming from +the King brought word that the King would not put my Lord to the trouble +of coming to him; but that he would come to the shore to look upon the +fleet to-day, which we expected, and had our guns ready to fire, and our +scarlet waistcloathes out and silk pendants, but he did not come. My +Lord and we at ninepins this afternoon upon the Quarterdeck, which was +very pretty sport. This evening came Mr. John Pickering on board, like +an ass, with his feathers and new suit that he had made at the Hague. +My Lord very angry for his staying on shore, bidding me a little before +to send to him, telling me that he was afraid that for his father's sake +he might have some mischief done him, unless he used the General's name. +To supper, and after supper to cards. I stood by and looked on till 11 +at night and so to bed. This afternoon Mr. Edwd. Pickering told me in +what a sad, poor condition for clothes and money the King was, and all +his attendants, when he came to him first from my Lord, their clothes not +being worth forty shillings the best of them. + + [Andrew Marvell alludes to the poor condition, for clothes and + money, in which the King was at this time, in "A Historical Poem":-- + + "At length, by wonderful impulse of fate, + The people call him back to help the State; + And what is more, they send him money, too, + And clothe him all from head to foot anew."] + +And how overjoyed the King was when Sir J. Greenville brought him some +money; so joyful, that he called the Princess Royal and Duke of York to +look upon it as it lay in the portmanteau before it was taken out. My +Lord told me, too, that the Duke of York is made High Admiral of England. + + + +17th. Up early to write down my last two days' observations. Dr. Clerke +came to me to tell me that he heard this morning, by some Dutch that are +come on board already to see the ship, that there was a Portuguese taken +yesterday at the Hague, that had a design to kill the King. But this I +heard afterwards was only the mistake upon one being observed to walk +with his sword naked, he having lost his scabbard. Before dinner Mr. +Edw. Pickering and I, W. Howe, Pim, and my boy,--[Edward Montagu, +afterwards Lord Hinchinbroke.]--to Scheveling, where we took coach, and +so to the Hague, where walking, intending to find one that might show us +the King incognito, I met with Captain Whittington (that had formerly +brought a letter to my Lord from the Mayor of London) and he did promise +me to do it, but first we went and dined at a French house, but paid 16s. +for our part of the club. At dinner in came Dr. Cade, a merry mad parson +of the King's. And they two after dinner got the child and me (the +others not being able to crowd in) to see the King, who kissed the child +very affectionately. Then we kissed his, and the Duke of York's, and the +Princess Royal's hands. The King seems to be a very sober man; and a +very splendid Court he hath in the number of persons of quality that are +about him, English very rich in habit. From the King to the Lord +Chancellor, + + [On January 29th, 1658, Charles II. entrusted the Great Seal to Sir + Edward Hyde, with the title of Lord Chancellor, and in that + character Sir Edward accompanied the King to England.] + +who did lie bed-rid of the gout: he spoke very merrily to the child and +me. After that, going to see the Queen of Bohemia, I met with Dr. +Fullers whom I sent to a tavern with Mr. Edw. Pickering, while I and the +rest went to see the Queen,--[Henrietta Maria.]-- who used us very +respectfully; her hand we all kissed. She seems a very debonaire, but +plain lady. After that to the Dr.'s, where we drank a while or so. In a +coach of a friend's of Dr. Cade we went to see a house of the Princess +Dowager's in a park about half-a-mile or a mile from the Hague, where +there is one, the most beautiful room for pictures in the whole world. +She had here one picture upon the top, with these words, dedicating it to +the memory of her husband:--"Incomparabili marito, inconsolabilis vidua." + + [Mary, Princess Royal, eldest daughter of Charles I., and widow of + William of Nassau, Prince of Orange. She was not supposed to be + inconsolable, and scandal followed her at the court of Charles II., + where she died of small-pox, December 24th, 1660.] + +Here I met with Mr. Woodcock of Cambridge, Mr. Hardy and another, and Mr. +Woodcock beginning we had two or three fine songs, he and I, and W. Howe +to the Echo, which was very pleasant, and the more because in a heaven of +pleasure and in a strange country, that I never was taken up more with a +sense of pleasure in my life. After that we parted and back to the Hague +and took a tour or two about the Forehault,--[The Voorhout is the +principal street of the Hague, and it is lined with handsome trees.]-- +where the ladies in the evening do as our ladies do in Hide Park. But +for my life I could not find one handsome, but their coaches very rich +and themselves so too. From thence, taking leave of the Doctor, we took +wagon to Scheveling, where we had a fray with the Boatswain of the +Richmond, who would not freely carry us on board, but at last he was +willing to it, but then it was so late we durst not go. So we returned +between 10 and 11 at night in the dark with a wagon with one horse to the +Hague, where being come we went to bed as well as we could be +accommodated, and so to sleep. + + + +18th. Very early up, and, hearing that the Duke of York, our Lord High +Admiral, would go on board to-day, Mr. Pickering and I took waggon for +Scheveling, leaving the child in Mr. Pierces hands, with directions to +keep him within doors all day till he heard from me. But the wind being +very high that no boats could get off from shore, we returned to the +Hague (having breakfasted with a gentleman of the Duke's, and +Commissioner Pett, sent on purpose to give notice to my Lord of his +coming), where I hear that the child is gone to Delfe to see the town. +So we all and Mr. Ibbott, the Minister, took a schuit--[The trekschuit +(drag-boat) along the canal is still described as an agreeable conveyance +from Leyden to Delft.]--and very much pleased with the manner and +conversation of the passengers, where most speak French; went after them, +but met them by the way. But however we went forward making no stop. +Where when we were come we got a smith's boy of the town to go along with +us, but could speak nothing but Dutch, and he showed us the church where +Van Trump lies entombed with a very fine monument. His epitaph concluded +thus:--"Tandem Bello Anglico tantum non victor, certe invictus, vivere et +vincere desiit." There is a sea-fight cut in marble, with the smoke, the +best expressed that ever I saw in my life. From thence to the great +church, that stands in a fine great market-place, over against the Stadt- +house, and there I saw a stately tomb of the old Prince of Orange, of +marble and brass; wherein among other rarities there are the angels with +their trumpets expressed as it were crying. Here were very fine organs +in both the churches. It is a most sweet town, with bridges, and a river +in every street. Observing that in every house of entertainment there +hangs in every room a poor-man's box, and desiring to know the reason +thereof, it was told me that it is their custom to confirm all bargains +by putting something into the poor people's box, and that binds as fast +as any thing. We also saw the Guesthouse, where it was very pleasant to +see what neat preparation there is for the poor. We saw one poor man a- +dying there. After we had seen all, we light by chance of an English +house to drink in, where we were very merry, discoursing of the town and +the thing that hangs up in the Stadthouse like a bushel, which +I was told is a sort of punishment for some sort of offenders to carry +through the streets of the town over his head, which is a great weight. +Back by water, where a pretty sober Dutch lass sat reading all the way, +and I could not fasten any discourse upon her. At our landing we met +with Commissioner Pett going down to the water-side with Major Harly, +who is going upon a dispatch into England. They having a coach I left +the Parson and my boy and went along with Commissioner Pett, Mr. Ackworth +and Mr. Dawes his friends, to the Princess Dowager's house again. +Thither also my Lord Fairfax and some other English Lords did come to see +it, and my pleasure was increased by seeing of it again. Besides we went +into the garden, wherein are gallant nuts better than ever I saw, and a +fine Echo under the house in a vault made on purpose with pillars, where +I played on my flageolette to great advantage. Back to the Hague, where +not finding Mr. Edward, I was much troubled, but went with the Parson to +supper to Commissioner Pett, where we sat late. And among other mirth +Mr. Ackworth vyed wives, each endeavouring to set his own wife out to the +best advantage, he having as they said an extraordinary handsome wife. +But Mr. Dawes could not be got to say anything of his. After that to our +lodging where W. Howe and I exceeding troubled not to know what is become +of our young gentleman. So to bed. + + + +19th. Up early, hearing nothing of the child, and went to Scheveling, +where I found no getting on board, though the Duke of York sent every day +to see whether he could do it or no. Here I met with Mr. Pinkney and his +sons, and with them went back to the Hague, in our way lighting and going +to see a woman that makes pretty rock-work in shells, &c., which could I +have carried safe I would have bought some of. At the Hague we went to +buy some pictures, where I saw a sort of painting done upon woollen +cloth, drawn as if there was a curtain over it, which was very pleasant, +but dear. Another pretty piece of painting I saw, on which there was a +great wager laid by young Pinkney and me whether it was a principal or a +copy. But not knowing how to decide, it was broken off, and I got the +old man to lay out as much as my piece of gold come to, and so saved my +money, which had been 24s. lost, I fear. While we were here buying of +pictures, we saw Mr. Edward and his company land. Who told me that they +had been at Leyden all night, at which I was very angry with Mr. Pierce, +and shall not be friends I believe a good while. To our lodging to +dinner. After that out to buy some linen to wear against to-morrow, and +so to the barber's. After that by waggon to Lausdune, where the 365 +children were born. We saw the hill where they say the house stood and +sunk wherein the children were born. The basins wherein the male and +female children were baptized do stand over a large table that hangs upon +a wall, with the whole story of the thing in Dutch and Latin, beginning, +"Margarita Herman Comitissa," &c. The thing was done about 200 years +ago. + +The town is a little small village which answers much to one of our small +villages, such a one as Chesterton in all respects, and one could have +thought it in England but for the language of the people. We went into a +little drinking house where there were a great many Dutch boors eating of +fish in a boorish manner, but very merry in their way. But the houses +here as neat as in the great places. From thence to the Hague again +playing at crambo--[Crambo is described as "a play at short verses in +which a word is given, and the parties contend who can find most rhymes +to it."]--in the waggon, Mr. Edward, Mr. Ibbott, W. Howe, Mr. Pinkney, +and I. When we were come thither W. Howe, and Mr. Ibbott, and Mr. +Pinckney went away for Scheveling, while I and the child to walk up and +down the town, where I met my old chamber-fellow, Mr. Ch. Anderson, and a +friend of his (both Physicians), Mr. Wright, who took me to a Dutch +house, where there was an exceeding pretty lass, and right for the sport, +but it being Saturday we could not have much of her company, but however +I staid with them (having left the child with my uncle Pickering, whom I +met in the street) till 12 at night. By that time Charles was almost +drunk, and then broke up, he resolving to go thither again, after he had +seen me at my lodging, and lie with the girl, which he told me he had +done in the morning. Going to my lodging we met with the bellman, who +struck upon a clapper, which I took in my hand, and it is just like the +clapper that our boys frighten the birds away from the corn with in +summer time in England. To bed. + + + +20th. Up early, and with Mr. Pickering and the child by waggon to +Scheveling, where it not being yet fit to go off, I went to lie down in a +chamber in the house, where in another bed there was a pretty Dutch woman +in bed alone, but though I had a month's-mind + + [Month's-mind. An earnest desire or longing, explained as alluding + to "a woman's longing." See Shakespeare, "Two Gentlemen of Verona," + act i. sc. 2: + + "I see you have a month's mind to them."--M. B.] + +I had not the boldness to go to her. So there I slept an hour or two. +At last she rose, and then I rose and walked up and down the chamber, and +saw her dress herself after the Dutch dress, and talked to her as much as +I could, and took occasion, from her ring which she wore on her first +finger, to kiss her hand, but had not the face to offer anything more. +So at last I left her there and went to my company. About 8 o'clock I +went into the church at Scheveling, which was pretty handsome, and in the +chancel a very great upper part of the mouth of a whale, which indeed was +of a prodigious bigness, bigger than one of our long boats that belong to +one of our ships. Commissioner Pett at last came to our lodging, and +caused the boats to go off; so some in one boat and some in another we +all bid adieu to the shore. But through badness of weather we were in +great danger, and a great while before we could get to the ship, so that +of all the company not one but myself that was not sick. I keeping +myself in the open air, though I was soundly wet for it. This hath not +been known four days together such weather at this time of year, a great +while. Indeed our fleet was thought to be in great danger, but we found +all well, and Mr. Thos. Crew came on board. I having spoke a word or two +with my Lord, being not very well settled, partly through last night's +drinking and want of sleep, I lay down in my gown upon my bed and slept +till the 4 o'clock gun the next morning waked me, which I took for 8 at +night, and rising . . . mistook the sun rising for the sun setting on +Sunday night. + + + +21st. So into my naked bed + + [This is a somewhat late use of an expression which was once + universal. It was formerly the custom for both sexes to sleep in + bed without any nightlinen. + + "Who sees his true love in her naked bed, + Teaching the sheets a whiter hue than white." + + Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis. + + Nares ("Glossary") notes the expression so late as in the very odd + novel by T. Amory, called "John Bunde," where a young lady declares, + after an alarm, "that she would never go into naked bed on board + ship again." Octavo edition, vol. i. p. 90.] + +and slept till 9 o'clock, and then John Goods waked me, [by] and by the +captain's boy brought me four barrels of Mallows oysters, which Captain +Tatnell had sent me from Murlace.--[Apparently Mallows stands for St. +Malo and Murlace for Morlaise.]--The weather foul all this day also. +After dinner, about writing one thing or other all day, and setting my +papers in order, having been so long absent. At night Mr. Pierce, Purser +(the other Pierce and I having not spoken to one another since we fell +out about Mr. Edward), and Mr. Cook sat with me in my cabin and supped +with me, and then I went to bed. By letters that came hither in my +absence, I understand that the Parliament had ordered all persons to be +secured, in order to a trial, that did sit as judges in the late King's +death, and all the officers too attending the Court. Sir John Lenthall +moving in the House, that all that had borne arms against the King should +be exempted from pardon, he was called to the bar of the House, and after +a severe reproof he was degraded his knighthood. At Court I find that +all things grow high. The old clergy talk as being sure of their lands +again, and laugh at the Presbytery; and it is believed that the sales of +the King's and Bishops' lands will never be confirmed by Parliament, +there being nothing now in any man's, power to hinder them and the King +from doing what they have a mind, but every body willing to submit to any +thing. We expect every day to have the King and Duke on board as soon as +it is fair. My Lord do nothing now, but offers all things to the +pleasure of the Duke as Lord High Admiral. So that I am at a loss what +to do. + + + +22nd. Up very early, and now beginning to be settled in my wits again, +I went about setting down my last four days' observations this morning. +After that, was trimmed by a barber that has not trimmed me yet, my +Spaniard being on shore. News brought that the two Dukes are coming on +board, which, by and by, they did, in a Dutch boats the Duke of York in +yellow trimmings, the Duke of Gloucester + + [Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the youngest child of Charles L, born + July 6th, 16--, who, with his sister Elizabeth, was allowed a + meeting with his father on the night before the King's execution. + Burnet says: "He was active, and loved business; was apt to have + particular friendships, and had an insinuating temper which was + generally very acceptable. The King loved him much better than the + Duke of York." He died of smallpox at Whitehall, September 13th, + 1660, and was buried in Henry VII's Chapel.] + +in grey and red. My Lord went in a boat to meet them, the Captain, +myself, and others, standing at the entering port. So soon as they were +entered we shot the guns off round the fleet. After that they went to +view the ship all over, and were most exceedingly pleased with it. They +seem to be both very fine gentlemen. After that done, upon the quarter- +deck table, under the awning, the Duke of York and my Lord, Mr. Coventry, + + [William Coventry, to whom Pepys became so warmly attached + afterwards, was the fourth son of Thomas, first Lord Coventry, the + Lord Keeper. He was born in 1628, and entered at Queen's College, + Oxford, in 1642; after the Restoration he became private secretary + to the Duke of York, his commission as Secretary to the Lord High + Admiral not being conferred until 1664; elected M.P. for Great + Yarmouth in 1661. In 1662 he was appointed an extra Commissioner of + the Navy, an office he held until 1667; in 1665, knighted and sworn + a Privy Councillor, and, in 1667, constituted a Commissioner of the + Treasury; but, having been forbid the court on account of his + challenging the Duke of Buckingham, he retired into the country, nor + could he subsequently be prevailed upon to accept of any official + employment. Burnet calls Sir William Coventry the best speaker in + the House of Commons, and "a man of the finest and best temper that + belonged to the court," and Pepys never omits an opportunity of + paying a tribute to his public and private worth. He died, 1686, of + gout in the stomach.] + +and I, spent an hour at allotting to every ship their service, in their +return to England; which having done, they went to dinner, where the +table was very full: the two Dukes at the upper end, my Lord Opdam next +on one side, and my Lord on the other. Two guns given to every man while +he was drinking the King's health, and so likewise to the Duke's health. +I took down Monsieur d'Esquier to the great cabin below, and dined with +him in state alone with only one or two friends of his. All dinner the +harper belonging to Captain Sparling played to the Dukes. After dinner, +the Dukes and my Lord to see the Vice and Rear-Admirals; and I in a boat +after them. After that done, they made to the shore in the Dutch boat +that brought them, and I got into the boat with them; but the shore was +so full of people to expect their coming, as that it was as black (which +otherwise is white sand), as every one could stand by another. When we +came near the shore, my Lord left them and came into his own boat, and +General Pen and I with him; my Lord being very well pleased with this +day's work. By the time we came on board again, news is sent us that the +King is on shore; so my Lord fired all his guns round twice, and all the +fleet after him, which in the end fell into disorder, which seemed very +handsome. The gun over against my cabin I fired myself to the King, +which was the first time that he had been saluted by his own ships since +this change; but holding my head too much over the gun, I had almost +spoiled my right eye. Nothing in the world but going of guns almost all +this day. In the evening we began to remove cabins; I to the carpenter's +cabin, and Dr. Clerke with me, who came on board this afternoon, having +been twice ducked in the sea to-day coming from shore, and Mr. North and +John Pickering the like. Many of the King's servants came on board to- +night; and so many Dutch of all sorts came to see the ship till it was +quite dark, that we could not pass by one another, which was a great +trouble to us all. This afternoon Mr. Downing (who was knighted +yesterday by the King') was here on board, and had a ship for his passage +into England, with his lady and servants. + + ["About midnight arrived there Mr. Downing, who did the affairs of + England to the Lords the Estates, in quality of Resident under + Oliver Cromwell, and afterward under the pretended Parliament, which + having changed the form of the government, after having cast forth + the last Protector, had continued him in his imploiment, under the + quality of Extraordinary Envoy. He began to have respect for the + King's person, when he knew that all England declared for a free + parliament, and departed from Holland without order, as soon as he + understood that there was nothing that could longer oppose the re- + establishment of monarchal government, with a design to crave + letters of recommendation to General Monk. This lord considered + him, as well because of the birth of his wife, which is illustrious, + as because Downing had expressed some respect for him in a time when + that eminent person could not yet discover his intentions. He had + his letters when he arrived at midnight at the house of the Spanish + Embassador, as we have said. He presented them forthwith to the + King, who arose from table a while after, read the letters, receiv'd + the submissions of Downing, and granted him the pardon and grace + which he asked for him to whom he could deny nothing. Some daies + after the King knighted him, and would it should be believed, that + the strong aversions which this minister of the Protector had made + appear against him on all occasions, and with all sorts of persons + indifferently, even a few daies before the publick and general + declaration of all England, proceeded not from any evil intention, + but only from a deep dissimulation, wherewith he was constrained to + cover his true sentiments, for fear to prejudice the affairs of his + Majesty."--Sir William Lowers Relation . . . of the Voiage and + Residence which . . . Charles the II. hath made in Holland, + Hague, 1660, folio, pp. 72-73.] + + +By the same token he called me to him when I was going to write the +order, to tell me that I must write him Sir G. Downing. My Lord lay in +the roundhouse to-night. This evening I was late writing a French letter +myself by my Lord's order to Monsieur Kragh, Embassador de Denmarke a la +Haye, which my Lord signed in bed. After that I to bed, and the Doctor, +and sleep well. + + + +23rd. The Doctor and I waked very merry, only my eye was very red and +ill in the morning from yesterday's hurt. In the morning came infinity +of people on board from the King to go along with him. My Lord, Mr. +Crew, and others, go on shore to meet the King as he comes off from +shore, where Sir R. Stayner bringing His Majesty into the boat, I hear +that His Majesty did with a great deal of affection kiss my Lord upon his +first meeting. The King, with the two Dukes and Queen of Bohemia, +Princess Royal, and Prince of Orange, came on board, where I in their +coming in kissed the King's, Queen's, and Princess's hands, having done +the other before. Infinite shooting off of the guns, and that in a +disorder on purpose, which was better than if it had been otherwise. All +day nothing but Lords and persons of honour on board, that we were +exceeding full. Dined in a great deal of state, the Royall company by +themselves in the coach, which was a blessed sight to see. I dined with +Dr. Clerke, Dr. Quarterman, and Mr. Darcy in my cabin. This morning Mr. +Lucy came on board, to whom and his company of the King's Guard in +another ship my Lord did give three dozen of bottles of wine. He made +friends between Mr. Pierce and me. After dinner the King and Duke +altered the name of some of the ships, viz. the Nazeby into Charles; +the Richard, James; the Speakers Mary; the Dunbar (which was not in +company with us), the Henry; Winsly, Happy Return; Wakefield, Richmond; +Lambert; the Henrietta; Cheriton, the Speedwell; Bradford, the Success. +That done, the Queen, Princess Royal, and Prince of Orange, took leave of +the King, and the Duke of York went on board the London, and the Duke of +Gloucester, the Swiftsure. Which done, we weighed anchor, and with a +fresh gale and most happy weather we set sail for England. All the +afternoon the King walked here and there, up and down (quite contrary to +what I thought him to have been), very active and stirring. Upon the +quarterdeck he fell into discourse of his escape from Worcester, + + [For the King's own account of his escape dictated to Pepys, see + "Boscobel" (Bohn's "Standard Library").] + +where it made me ready to weep to hear the stories that he told of his +difficulties that he had passed through, as his travelling four days and +three nights on foot, every step up to his knees in dirt, with nothing +but a green coat and a pair of country breeches on, and a pair of country +shoes that made him so sore all over his feet, that he could scarce stir. +Yet he was forced to run away from a miller and other company, that took +them for rogues. His sitting at table at one place, where the master of +the house, that had not seen him in eight years, did know him, but kept +it private; when at the same table there was one that had been of his own +regiment at Worcester, could not know him, but made him drink the King's +health, and said that the King was at least four fingers higher than he. +At another place he was by some servants of the house made to drink, that +they might know him not to be a Roundhead, which they swore he was. In +another place at his inn, the master of the house, + + [This was at Brighton. The inn was the "George," and the innkeeper + was named Smith. Charles related this circumstance again to Pepys + in October, 1680. He then said, "And here also I ran into another + very great danger, as being confident I was known by the master of + the inn; for, as I was standing after supper by the fireside, + leaning my hand upon a chair, and all the rest of the company being + gone into another room, the master of the inn came in and fell a- + talking with me, and just as he was looking about, and saw there was + nobody in the room, he upon a sudden kissed my hand that was upon + the back of the chair, and said to me, 'God bless you wheresoever + you go! I do not doubt before I die, but to be a lord, and my wife + a lady.' So I laughed, and went away into the next room."] + +as the King was standing with his hands upon the back of a chair by the +fire-side, kneeled down and kissed his hand, privately, saying, that he +would not ask him who he was, but bid God bless him whither he was going. +Then the difficulty of getting a boat to get into France, where he was +fain to plot with the master thereof to keep his design from the four men +and a boy (which was all his ship's company), and so got to Fecamp in +France. + + [On Saturday, October 11th, 1651, Colonel Gunter made an agreement + at Chichester with Nicholas Tettersell, through Francis Mansell (a + French merchant), to have Tettersell's vessel ready at an hour's + warning. Charles II., in his narrative dictated to Pepys in 1680, + said, "We went to a place, four miles off Shoreham, called + Brighthelmstone, where we were to meet with the master of the ship, + as thinking it more convenient to meet there than just at Shoreham, + where the ship was. So when we came to the inn at Brighthelmstone + we met with one, the merchant Francis Mansell] who had hired the + vessel, in company with her master [Tettersell], the merchant only + knowing me, as having hired her only to carry over a person of + quality that was escaped from the battle of Worcester without naming + anybody." + + The boat was supposed to be bound for Poole, but Charles says in his + narrative: "As we were sailing the master came to me, and desired me + that I would persuade his men to use their best endeavours with him + to get him to set us on shore in France, the better to cover him + from any suspicion thereof, upon which I went to the men, which were + four and a boy." + + After the Restoration Mansell was granted a pension of L200 a year, + and Tettersell one of L100 a year. (See "Captain Nicholas + Tettersell and the Escape of Charles II.," by F. E. Sawyer, F.S.A., + "Sussex Archaeological Collections," vol. xxxii. pp. 81-104).) + +At Rouen he looked so poorly, that the people went into the rooms before +he went away to see whether he had not stole something or other. In the +evening I went up to my Lord to write letters for England, which we sent +away with word of our coming, by Mr. Edw. Pickering. The King supped +alone in the coach; after that I got a dish, and we four supped in my +cabin, as at noon. About bed-time my Lord Bartlett + + [A mistake for Lord Berkeley of Berkeley, who had been deputed, with + Lord Middlesex and four other Peers, by the House of Lords to + present an address of congratulation to the King.--B.] + +(who I had offered my service to before) sent for me to get him a bed, +who with much ado I did get to bed to my Lord Middlesex in the great +cabin below, but I was cruelly troubled before I could dispose of him, +and quit myself of him. So to my cabin again, where the company still +was, and were talking more of the King's difficulties; as how he was fain +to eat a piece of bread and cheese out of a poor boy's pocket; how, at a +Catholique house, he was fain to lie in the priest's hole a good while in +the house for his privacy. After that our company broke up, and the +Doctor and I to bed. We have all the Lords Commissioners on board us, +and many others. Under sail all night, and most glorious weather. + + + +24th. Up, and made myself as fine as I could, with the Tinning stockings +on and wide canons--["Cannions, boot hose tops; an old-fashioned +ornament for the legs." That is to say, a particular addition to +breeches.]--that I bought the other day at Hague. Extraordinary press +of noble company, and great mirth all the day. There dined with me in my +cabin (that is, the carpenter's) Dr. Earle + + [John Earle, born about 1601; appointed in 1643 one of the + Westminster Assembly of Divines, but his principles did not allow + him to act.

His sons + Stephen and Henry were created respectively Earl of Ilchester and + Lord Holland.] + +(both very fine gentlemen), the King's servants, where we had brave +discourse. Walking upon the decks, where persons of honour all the +afternoon, among others, Thomas Killigrew (a merry droll, but a gentleman +of great esteem with the King), who told us many merry stories: one, how +he wrote a letter three or four days ago to the Princess Royal, about a +Queen Dowager of Judaea and Palestine, that was at the Hague incognita, +that made love to the King, &c., which was Mr. Cary (a courtier's) wife +that had been a nun, who are all married to Jesus. At supper the three +Drs. of Physic again at my cabin; where I put Dr. Scarborough in mind of +what I heard him say about the use of the eyes, which he owned, that +children do, in every day's experience, look several ways with both their +eyes, till custom teaches them otherwise. And that we do now see but +with one eye, our eyes looking in parallel lines. After this discourse I +was called to write a pass for my Lord Mandeville to take up horses to +London, which I wrote in the King's name,--[This right of purveyance was +abolished in Charles's reign.]--and carried it to him to sign, which was +the first and only one that ever he signed in the ship Charles. +To bed, coming in sight of land a little before night. + + + +25th. By the morning we were come close to the land, and every body made +ready to get on shore. The King and the two Dukes did eat their +breakfast before they went, and there being set some ship's diet before +them, only to show them the manner of the ship's diet, they eat of +nothing else but pease and pork, and boiled beef. I had Mr. Darcy in my +cabin and Dr. Clerke, who eat with me, told me how the King had given L50 +to Mr. Sheply for my Lord's servants, and L500 among the officers and +common men of the ship. I spoke with the Duke of York about business, +who called me Pepys by name, and upon my desire did promise me his future +favour. Great expectation of the King's making some Knights, but there +was none. About noon (though the brigantine that Beale made was there +ready to carry him) yet he would go in my Lord's barge with the two +Dukes. Our Captain steered, and my Lord went along bare with him. I +went, and Mr. Mansell, and one of the King's footmen, with a dog that the +King loved, + + [Charles II.'s love of dogs is well known, but it is not so well + known that his dogs were continually being stolen from him. In the + "Mercurius Publicus," June 28-July 5, 1660, is the following + advertisement, apparently drawn up by the King himself: "We must + call upon you again for a Black Dog between a greyhound and a + spaniel, no white about him, onely a streak on his brest, and his + tayl a little bobbed. It is His Majesties own Dog, and doubtless + was stoln, for the dog was not born nor bred in England, and would + never forsake His master. Whoesoever findes him may acquaint any at + Whitehal for the Dog was better known at Court, than those who stole + him. Will they never leave robbing his Majesty! Must he not keep a + Dog? This dog's place (though better than some imagine) is the only + place which nobody offers to beg." (Quoted in "Notes and Queries," + 7th S., vii. 26, where are printed two other advertisements of + Charles's lost dogs.)] + +(which [dirted] the boat, which made us laugh, and me think that a King +and all that belong to him are but just as others are), in a boat by +ourselves, and so got on shore when the King did, who was received by +General Monk with all imaginable love and respect at his entrance upon +the land of Dover. Infinite the crowd of people and the horsemen, +citizens, and noblemen of all sorts. The Mayor of the town came and gave +him his white staff, the badge of his place, which the King did give him +again. The Mayor also presented him from the town a very rich Bible, +which he took and said it was the thing that he loved above all things in +the world. A canopy was provided for him to stand under, which he did, +and talked awhile with General Monk and others, and so into a stately +coach there set for him, and so away through the town towards Canterbury, +without making any stay at Dover. The shouting and joy expressed by all +is past imagination. Seeing that my Lord did not stir out of his barge, +I got into a boat, and so into his barge, whither Mr. John Crew stepped, +and spoke a word or two to my Lord, and so returned, we back to the ship, +and going did see a man almost drowned that fell out of his boat into the +sea, but with much ado was got out. My Lord almost transported with joy +that he had done all this without any the least blur or obstruction in +the world, that could give an offence to any, and with the great honour +he thought it would be to him. Being overtook by the brigantine, my Lord +and we went out of our barge into it, and so went on board with Sir W. +Batten, + + [Clarendon describes William Batten as an obscure fellow, and, + although unknown to the service, a good seaman, who was in 1642 made + Surveyor to the Navy; in which employ he evinced great animosity + against the King. The following year, while Vice-Admiral to the + Earl of Warwick, he chased a Dutch man-of-war into Burlington Bay, + knowing that Queen Henrietta Maria was on board; and then, learning + that she had landed and was lodged on the quay, he fired above a + hundred shot upon the house, some of which passing through her + majesty's chamber, she was obliged, though indisposed, to retire for + safety into the open fields. This act, brutal as it was, found + favour with the Parliament. But Batten became afterwards + discontented; and, when a portion of the fleet revolted, he carried + the "Constant Warwick," one of the best ships in the Parliament + navy, over into Holland, with several seamen of note. For this act + of treachery he was knighted and made a Rear-Admiral by Prince + Charles. We hear no more of Batten till the Restoration, when he + became a Commissioner of the Navy, and was soon after M.P. for + Rochester. See an account of his second wife, in note to November + 24th, 1660, and of his illness and death, October 5th, 1667. He had + a son, Benjamin, and a daughter, Martha, by his first wife.--B.] + + +and the Vice and Rear-Admirals. At night my Lord supped and Mr. Thomas +Crew with Captain Stoakes, I supped with the Captain, who told me what +the King had given us. My Lord returned late, and at his coming did give +me order to cause the marke to be gilded, and a Crown and C. R. to be +made at the head of the coach table, where the King to-day with his own +hand did mark his height, which accordingly I caused the painter to do, +and is now done as is to be seen. + + + +26th. Thanks to God I got to bed in my own poor cabin, and slept well +till 9 o'clock this morning. Mr. North and Dr. Clerke and all the great +company being gone, I found myself very uncouth all this day for want +thereof. My Lord dined with the Vice-Admiral to-day (who is as +officious, poor man! as any spaniel can be; but I believe all to no +purpose, for I believe he will not hold his place), so I dined commander +at the coach table to-day, and all the officers of the ship with me, and +Mr. White of Dover. After a game or two at nine-pins, to work all the +afternoon, making above twenty orders. In the evening my Lord having +been a-shore, the first time that he hath been a-shore since he came out +of the Hope (having resolved not to go till he had brought his Majesty +into England), returned on board with a great deal of pleasure. I supped +with the Captain in his cabin with young Captain Cuttance, and afterwards +a messenger from the King came with a letter, and to go into France, and +by that means we supped again with him at 12 o'clock at night. This +night the Captain told me that my Lord had appointed me L30 out of the +1000 ducats which the King had given to the ship, at which my heart was +very much joyed. To bed. + + +27th (Lord's day). Called up by John Goods to see the Garter and Heralds +coat, which lay in the coach, brought by Sir Edward Walker, + + [Edward Walker was knighted February 2nd, 1644-5, and on the 24th of + the same month was sworn in as Garter King at Arms. He adhered to + the cause of the king, and published "Iter Carolinum", being a + succinct account of the necessitated marches, retreats, and + sufferings of his Majesty King Charles I., from Jan. 10, 1641, to + the time of his death in 1648, collected by a daily attendant upon + his sacred Majesty during all that time: He joined Charles II. in + exile, and received the reward of his loyalty at the Restoration. + He died at Whitehall, February 19th, 1676-7, and was buried at + Stratford-on-Avon, his daughter having married Sir John Clepton of + that place.] + +King at Arms, this morning, for my Lord. My Lord hath summoned all the +Commanders on board him, to see the ceremony, which was thus: Sir Edward +putting on his coat, and having laid the George and Garter, and the +King's letter to my Lord, upon a crimson cushion (in the coach, all the +Commanders standing by), makes three congees to him, holding the cushion +in his arms. Then laying it down with the things upon it upon a chair, +he takes the letter, and delivers it to my Lord, which my Lord breaks +open and gives him to read. It was directed to our trusty and well +beloved Sir Edward Montagu, Knight, one of our Generals at sea, and our +Companion elect of our Noble Order of the Garter. The contents of the +letter is to show that the Kings of England have for many years made use +of this honour, as a special mark of favour, to persons of good +extraction and virtue (and that many Emperors, Kings and Princes of other +countries have borne this honour), and that whereas my Lord is of a noble +family, and hath now done the King such service by sea, at this time, as +he hath done; he do send him this George and Garter to wear as Knight of +the Order, with a dispensation for the other ceremonies of the habit of +the Order, and other things, till hereafter, when it can be done. So the +herald putting the ribbon about his neck, and the Garter about his left +leg, he salutes him with joy as Knight of the Garter, and that was all. +After that was done, and the Captain and I had breakfasted with Sir +Edward while my Lord was writing of a letter, he took his leave of my +Lord, and so to shore again to the King at Canterbury, where he yesterday +gave the like honour to General Monk, + + ["His Majesty put the George on his Excellency, and the two Dukes + put on the Garter. The Princes thus honoured the Lord-General for + the restoration of that lawful family."--Rugge's Diurnal.] + +who are the only two for many years that have had the Garter given them, +before they had other honours of Earldom, or the like, excepting only the +Duke of Buckingham, who was only Sir George Villiers when he was made +Knight of the Garter. A while after Mr. Thos. Crew and Mr. J. Pickering +(who had staid long enough to make all the world see him to be a fool), +took ship for London. So there now remain no strangers with my Lord +but Mr. Hetley, who had been with us a day before the King went from us. +My Lord and the ship's company down to sermon. I staid above to write +and look over my new song book, which came last night to me from London +in lieu of that that my Lord had of me. The officers being all on board, +there was not room for me at table, so I dined in my cabin, where, among +other things, Mr. Drum brought me a lobster and a bottle of oil, instead +of a bottle of vinegar, whereby I spoiled my dinner. Many orders in the +ordering of ships this afternoon. Late to a sermon. After that up to +the Lieutenant's cabin, where Mr. Sheply, I, and the Minister supped, and +after that I went down to W. Howe's cabin, and there, with a great deal +of pleasure, singing till it was late. After that to bed. + + + +28th. Called up at two in the morning for letters for my Lord from the +Duke of York, but I went to bed again till 5. Trimmed early this +morning. This morning the Captain did call over all the men in the ship +(not the boys), and give every one of them a ducat of the King's money +that he gave the ship, and the officers according to their quality. I +received in the Captain's cabin, for my share, sixty ducats. The rest of +the morning busy writing letters. So was my Lord that he would not come +to dinner. After dinner to write again in order to sending to London, +but my Lord did not finish his, so we did not send to London to-day. A +great part of the afternoon at nine-pins with my Lord and Mr. Hetley. I +lost about 4s. Supped with my Lord, and after that to bed. At night I +had a strange dream of--myself, which I really did, and having kicked my +clothes off, I got cold; and found myself all much wet in the morning, +and had a great deal of pain . . . which made me very melancholy. + + + +29th. The King's birthday. Busy all the morning writing letters to +London, among the rest one to Mr. Chetwind to give me an account of the +fees due to the Herald for the Order of the Garter, which my Lord desires +to know. After dinner got all ready and sent away Mr. Cook to London +with a letter and token to my wife. After that abroad to shore with my +Lord (which he offered me of himself, saying that I had a great deal of +work to do this month, which was very true). On shore we took horses, my +Lord and Mr. Edward, Mr. Hetly and I, and three or four servants, and had +a great deal of pleasure in riding. Among other things my Lord showed me +a house that cost a great deal of money, and is built in so barren and +inconvenient a place that my Lord calls it the fool's house. At last we +came upon a very high cliff by the sea-side, and rode under it, we having +laid great wagers, I and Dr. Mathews, that it was not so high as Paul's; +my Lord and Mr. Hetly, that it was. But we riding under it, my Lord made +a pretty good measure of it with two sticks, and found it to be not above +thirty-five yards high, and Paul's is reckoned to be about ninety. From +thence toward the barge again, and in our way found the people at Deal +going to make a bonfire for joy of the day, it being the King's birthday, +and had some guns which they did fire at my Lord's coming by. For which +I did give twenty shillings among them to drink. While we were on the +top of the cliffe, we saw and heard our guns in the fleet go off for the +same joy. And it being a pretty fair day we could see above twenty miles +into France. Being returned on board, my Lord called for Mr. Sheply's +book of Paul's, by which we were confirmed in our wager. After that to +supper and then to musique, and so to bed. The pain that I have got last +night by cold is not yet gone, but troubles me at the time of . . . . +This day, it is thought, the King do enter the city of London. + + ["Divers maidens, in behalf of themselves and others, presented a + petition to the Lord Mayor of London, wherein they pray his Lordship + to grant them leave and liberty to meet His Majesty on the day of + his passing through the city; and if their petition be granted, that + they will all be clad in white waistcoats and crimson petticoats, + and other ornaments of triumph and rejoicing."-Rugge's Diurnal, May, + 1660.--B.] + + + +30th. About eight o'clock in the morning the lieutenant came to me to +know whether I would eat a dish of mackerel, newly catched, for my +breakfast, which the Captain and we did in the coach. All yesterday and +to-day I had a great deal of pain . . . and in my back, which made me +afeard. But it proved nothing but cold, which I took yesterday night. +All this morning making up my accounts, in which I counted that I had +made myself now worth about L80, at which my heart was glad, and blessed +God. Many Dover men come and dine with my Lord. My Lord at ninepins in +the afternoon. In the afternoon Mr. Sheply told me how my Lord had put +me down for 70 guilders among the money which was given to my Lord's +servants, which my heart did much rejoice at. My Lord supped alone in +his chamber. Sir R. Stayner supped with us, and among other things told +us how some of his men did grumble that no more of the Duke's money come +to their share and so would not receive any; whereupon he called up those +that had taken it, and gives them three shares apiece more, which was +very good, and made good sport among the seamen. To bed. + + + +31st. This day my Lord took physic, and came not out of his chamber. + + [It is interesting that on several occasions Wheatly records the use + of 'physic' (cathartics) and notes that the effect of this + medication required confinement to the bedroom--but as to his Pepy's + renal colic, he places his censoring periods in place of the words: + painful urination. D.W.] + +All the morning making orders. After dinner a great while below in the +great cabin trying with W. Howe some of Mr. Laws' songs,' particularly +that of "What is a kiss," with which we had a great deal of pleasure. +After that to making of orders again. Captain Sparling of the Assistance +brought me a pair of silk stockings of a light blue, which I was much +pleased with. The Captain and I to supper, and after that a most +pleasant walk till to at night with him upon the deck, it being a fine +evening. My pain was gone again that I had yesterday, blessed be God. +This day the month ends, I in very good health, and all the world in a +merry mood because of the King's coming. This day I began to teach Mr. +Edward; who I find to have a very good foundation laid for his Latin by +Mr. Fuller. I expect every minute to hear how my poor wife do. I find +myself in all things well as to body and mind, but troubled for the +absence of my wife. + + + + +ETEXT EDITOR'S BOOKMARKS: + +An exceeding pretty lass, and right for the sport +And in all this not so much as one +Bought for the love of the binding three books +Drinking of the King's health upon their knees in the streets +Fashionable and black spots +He and I lay in one press bed, there being two more +He is, I perceive, wholly sceptical, as well as I +He that must do the business, or at least that can hinder it +He was fain to lie in the priest's hole a good while +If it should come in print my name maybe at it +In comes Mr. North very sea-sick from shore +John Pickering on board, like an ass, with his feathers +Made to drink, that they might know him not to be a Roundhead +My Lord, who took physic to-day and was in his chamber +Presbyterians against the House of Lords +Protestants as to the Church of Rome are wholly fanatiques + + + + +End of this Project Gutenberg Etext of The Diary of Samuel Pepys, v5 +by Samuel Pepys, Unabridged, transcribed by Bright, edited by Wheatley + diff --git a/old/sp06g10.zip b/old/sp06g10.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f25f1df --- /dev/null +++ b/old/sp06g10.zip |
