This morning Mr. Sheply disposed of the money that the Duke of +York did give my Lord's servants, 22 ducatoons 3 came to my share, whereof +he told me to give Jaspar something because my Lord left him out. + + [Foreign coins were in frequent use at this time. A Proclamation, + January 29th, 1660-61, declared certain foreign gold and silver + coins to be current at certain rates. The rate of the ducatoon was + at 5s. 9d.] + +I did give Mr. Sheply the fine pair of buckskin gloves that I bought +myself about five years ago. My Lord took physic to-day, and so come not +out all day. The Captain on shore all day. After dinner Captain Jefferys +and W. Howe, and the Lieutenant and I to ninepins, where I lost about two +shillings and so fooled away all the afternoon. At night Mr. Cooke comes +from London with letters, leaving all things there very gallant and +joyful. And brought us word that the Parliament had ordered the 29th of +May, the King's birthday, to be for ever kept as a day of thanksgiving for +our redemption from tyranny, and the King's return to his Government, he +entering London that day. My wife was in London when he came thither, and +had been there a week with Mr. Bowyer and his wife. My poor wife has not +been well a week before, but thanks be to God is well again. She would +fain see me and be at her house again, but we must be content. She writes +word how the Joyces grow very rich and very proud, but it is no matter, +and that there was a talk that I should be knighted by the King, which +they (the Joyces) laugh at; but I think myself happier in my wife and +estate than they are in theirs. To bed. The Captain come on board, when I +was going to bed, quite fuddled; and himself the next morning told me so +too, that the Vice-Admiral, Rear-Admiral, and he had been drinking all +day. + +2d. Being with my Lord in the morning about business in his cabin, I took +occasion to give him thanks for his love to me in the share that he had +given me of his Majesty's money, and the Duke's. He told the he hoped to +do me a more lasting kindness, if all things stand as they are now between +him and the King, but, says he, "We must have a little patience and we +will rise together; in the mean time I will do you all the good jobs I +can." Which was great content for me to hear from my Lord. All the +morning with the Captain, computing how much the thirty ships that come +with the King from Scheveling their pay comes to for a month (because the +King promised to give them all a month's pay), and it comes to L6,538, and +the Charles particularly L777. I wish we had the money. All the +afternoon with two or three captains in the Captain's cabin, drinking of +white wine and sugar, and eating pickled oysters, where Captain Sparling +told us the best story that ever I heard, about a gentleman that persuaded +a country fool to let him gut his oysters or else they would stink. At +night writing letters to London and Weymouth, for my Lord being now to sit +in the House of Peers he endeavours to get Mr. Edward Montagu for Weymouth +and Mr. George for Dover. Mr. Cooke late with me in my cabin while I +wrote to my wife, and drank a bottle of wine and so took leave of me on +his journey and I to bed. + +3d. Waked in the morning by one who when I asked who it was, he told me +one from Bridewell, which proved Captain Holland. I rose presently to +him. He is come to get an order for the setting out of his ship, and to +renew his commission. He tells me how every man goes to the Lord Mayor to +set down their names, as such as do accept of his Majesty's pardon, and +showed me a certificate under the Lord Mayor's hand that he had done so. + +At sermon in the morning; after dinner into my cabin, to cast my accounts +up, and find myself to be worth near L100, for which I bless Almighty God, +it being more than I hoped for so soon, being I believe not clearly worth +L25 when I came to sea besides my house and goods. Then to set my papers +in order, they being increased much upon my hands through want of time to +put them in order. The ship's company all this while at sermon. After +sermon my Lord did give me instruction to write to London about business, +which done, after supper to bed. + +4th. Waked in the morning at four o'clock to give some money to Mr. +Hetly, who was to go to London with the letters that I wrote yesterday +night. After he was gone I went and lay down in my gown upon my bed again +an hour or two. At last waked by a messenger come for a Post Warrant for +Mr. Hetly and Mr. Creed, who stood to give so little for their horses that +the men would not let them have any without a warrant, which I sent them. +All the morning getting Captain Holland's commission done, which I did, +and he at noon went away. I took my leave of him upon the quarter-deck +with a bottle of sack, my Lord being just set down to dinner. Then he +being gone I went to dinner and after dinner to my cabin to write. This +afternoon I showed my Lord my accounts, which he passed, and so I think +myself to be worth near L100 now. In the evening I made an order for +Captain Sparling of the Assistance to go to Middleburgh, to fetch over +some of the King's goods. I took the opportunity to send all my Dutch +money, 70 ducatoons and 29 gold ducats to be changed, if he can, for +English money, which is the first venture that ever I made, and so I have +been since a little afeard of it. After supper some music and so to bed. +This morning the King's Proclamation against drinking, swearing, and +debauchery, was read to our ships' companies in the fleet, and indeed it +gives great satisfaction to all. + + [The King's "Proclamation against vicious, debauched, and prophane + Persons" is dated May 30th. It is printed in "Somers's Tracts," ed. + 1812, vol. vii. p. 423.] + +5th. A-bed late. In the morning my Lord went on shore with the +Vice-Admiral a-fishing, and at dinner returned. In the afternoon I played +at ninepins with my Lord, and when he went in again I got him to sign my +accounts for L115, and so upon my private balance I find myself confirmed +in my estimation that I am worth L100. In the evening in my cabin a great +while getting the song without book, "Help, help Divinity, &c." After +supper my Lord called for the lieutenant's cittern, and with two +candlesticks with money in them for symballs, we made barber's music, + + [In the "Notices of Popular Histories," printed for the Percy + Society, there is a curious woodcut representing the interior of a + barber's shop, in which, according to the old custom, the person + waiting to be shaved is playing on the "ghittern" till his turn + arrives. Decker also mentions a "barber's cittern," for every + serving-man to play upon. This is no doubt "the barber's music" + with which Lord Sandwich entertained himself.--B.] + +with which my Lord was well pleased. So to bed. + +6th. In the morning I had letters come, that told me among other things, +that my Lord's place of Clerk of the Signet was fallen to him, which he +did most lovingly tell me that I should execute, in case he could not get +a better employment for me at the end of the year. Because he thought +that the Duke of York would command all, but he hoped that the Duke would +not remove me but to my advantage. + +I had a great deal of talk about my uncle Robert, + + [Robert Pepys of Brampton, eldest son of Thomas Pepys the red, and + brother of Samuel's father.] + +and he told me that he could not tell how his mind stood as to his estate, +but he would do all that lay in his power for me. After dinner came Mr. +Gooke from London, who told me that my wife he left well at Huntsmore, +though her health not altogether so constant as it used to be, which my +heart is troubled for. Mr. Moore's letters tell me that he thinks my Lord +will be suddenly sent for up to London, and so I got myself in readiness +to go. + +My letters tell me, that Mr. Calamy + + [Edmund Calamy, D.D., the celebrated Nonconformist divine, born + February, 1600, appointed Chaplain to Charles II., 1660. He refused + the bishopric of Lichfield which was offered to him. Died October + 29th, 1666.] + +had preached before the King in a surplice (this I heard afterwards to be +false); that my Lord, Gen. Monk, and three more Lords, are made +Commissioners for the Treasury; + + [The names of the Commissioners were--Sir Edward Hyde, afterwards + Earl of Clarendon, General Monk, Thomas, Earl of Southampton, John, + Lord Robartes, Thomas, Lord Colepeper, Sir Edward Montagu, with Sir + Edward Nicholas and Sir William Morrice as principal Secretaries of + State. The patents are dated June 19th, 1660.] + +that my Lord had some great place conferred on him, and they say Master of +the Wardrobe; + + [The duty of the Master of the Wardrobe was to provide "proper + furniture for coronations, marriages, and funerals" of the sovereign + and royal family, "cloaths of state, beds, hangings, and other + necessaries for the houses of foreign ambassadors, cloaths of state + for Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Prince of Wales, and ambassadors + abroad," as also to provide robes for Ministers of State, Knights of + the Garter, &c. The last Master of the Wardrobe was Ralph, Duke of + Montague, who died 1709.] + +that the two Dukes--[Duke of York and Duke of Gloucester.]--do haunt the +Park much, and that they were at a play, Madam Epicene,--["Epicene, or the +Silent Woman," a comedy, by Ben Jonson.]--the other day; that Sir. Ant. +Cooper, Mr. Hollis, and Mr. Annesly,& late President of the Council of +State, are made Privy Councillors to the King. At night very busy sending +Mr. Donne away to London, and wrote to my father for a coat to be made me +against I come to London, which I think will not be long. At night Mr. +Edward Montagu came on board and staid long up with my Lord. I to bed and +about one in the morning, + +7th. W. Howe called me up to give him a letter to carry to my Lord that +came to me to-day, which I did and so to, sleep again. About three in the +morning the people began to wash the deck, and the water came pouring into +my mouth, which waked me, and I was fain to rise and get on my gown, and +sleep leaning on my table. This morning Mr. Montagu went away again. +After dinner come Mr. John Wright and Mr. Moore, with the sight of whom my +heart was very glad. They brought an order for my Lord's coming up to +London, which my Lord resolved to do tomorrow. All the afternoon getting +my things in order to set forth to-morrow. At night walked up and down +with Mr. Moore, who did give me an account of all things at London. Among +others, how the Presbyterians would be angry if they durst, but they will +not be able to do any thing. Most of the Commanders on board and supped +with my Lord. Late at night came Mr. Edw. Pickering from London, but I +could not see him this night. I went with Mr. Moore to the Master's +cabin, and saw him there in order to going to bed. After that to my own +cabin to put things in order and so to bed. + +8th. Out early, took horses at Deale. I troubled much with the King's +gittar, and Fairbrother, the rogue that I intrusted with the carrying of +it on foot, whom I thought I had lost. Col.

This morning my Lord went into the House of Commons, and there +had the thanks of the House, in the name of the Parliament and Commons of +England, for his late service to his King and Country. A motion was made +for a reward for him, but it was quashed by Mr. Annesly, who, above most +men, is engaged to my Lord's and Mr. Crew's families. Meeting with +Captain Stoakes at Whitehall, I dined with him and Mr. Gullop, a parson +(with whom afterwards I was much offended at his importunity and +impertinence, such another as Elborough), + + [Thomas Elborough was one of Pepys's schoolfellows, and afterwards + curate of St. Lawrence Poultney.] + +and Mr. Butler, who complimented much after the same manner as the parson +did.

Some other +sea captains. I did give them a good morning draught, and so to my Lord +(who lay long in bed this day, because he came home late from supper with +the King).

Thence to my Lady +Pickering, who did give me the best intelligence about the Wardrobe. +Afterwards to the Cockpit to my Lord with Mr. Townsend, one formerly and +now again to be employed as Deputy of the Wardrobe. Thence to the +Admiralty, and despatched away Mr. Cooke to sea; whose business was a +letter from my Lord about Mr. G. Montagu to be chosen as a Parliament-man +in my Lord's room at Dover;' and another to the Vice-Admiral to give my +Lord a constant account of all things in the fleet, merely that he may +thereby keep up his power there; another letter to Captn.

To the Dog Tavern at Westminster, where Murford with Captain Curle +and two friends of theirs went to drink. Captain Curle, late of the +Maria, gave me five pieces in gold and a silver can for my wife for the +Commission I did give him this day for his ship, dated April 20, 1660 +last. Thence to the Parliament door and came to Mr. Crew's to dinner with +my Lord, and with my Lord to see the great Wardrobe, where Mr. Townsend +brought us to the governor of some poor children in tawny clothes; who had +been maintained there these eleven years, which put my Lord to a stand how +to dispose of them, that he may have the house for his use. The children +did sing finely, and my Lord did bid me give them five pieces in gold at +his going away. Thence back to White Hall, where, the King being gone +abroad, my Lord and I walked a great while discoursing of the simplicity +of the Protector, in his losing all that his father had left him. My Lord +told me, that the last words that he parted with the Protector with (when +he went to the Sound), were, that he should rejoice more to see him in his +grave at his return home, than that he should give way to such things as +were then in hatching, and afterwards did ruin him: and the Protector +said, that whatever G. Montagu, my Lord Broghill, Jones, and the +Secretary, would have him to do, he would do it, be it what it would. +Thence to my wife, meeting Mr. Blagrave, who went home with me, and did +give me a lesson upon the flageolet, and handselled my silver can with my +wife and me. To my father's, where Sir Thomas Honeywood and his family +were come of a sudden, and so we forced to lie all together in a little +chamber, three stories high. + +22d. To my Lord, where much business. With him to White Hall, where the +Duke of York not being up, we walked a good while in the Shield Gallery. +Mr. Hill (who for these two or three days hath constantly attended my +Lord) told me of an offer of L500 for a Baronet's dignity, which I told my +Lord of in the balcone in this gallery, and he said he would think of it. +I to my Lord's and gave order for horses to be got to draw my Lord's great +coach to Mr. Crew's. Mr. Morrice the upholsterer came himself to-day to +take notice what furniture we lack for our lodgings at Whitehall. My dear +friend Mr. Fuller of Twickenham and I dined alone at the Sun Tavern, where +he told me how he had the grant of being Dean of St. Patrick's, in +Ireland; and I told him my condition, and both rejoiced one for another. +Thence to my Lord's, and had the great coach to Brigham's, who went with +me to the Half Moon, and gave me a can of good julep, and told me how my +Lady Monk deals with him and others for their places, asking him L500, +though he was formerly the King's coach-maker, and sworn to it. My Lord +abroad, and I to my house and set things in a little order there. So with +Mr. Moore to my father's, I staying with Mrs. Turner who stood at her door +as I passed. Among other things she told me for certain how my old Lady +Middlesex----herself the other day in the presence of the King, and people +took notice of it. Thence called at my father's, and so to Mr. Crew's, +where Mr. Hetley had sent a letter for me, and two pair of silk stockings, +one for W. Howe, and the other for me. To Sir H. Wright's to my Lord, +where he, was, and took direction about business, and so by link home +about 11 o'clock. To bed, the first time since my coming from sea, in my +own house, for which God be praised. + +23d. By water with Mr. Hill towards my Lord's lodging and so to my Lord. +With him to Whitehall, where I left him and went to Mr. Holmes to deliver +him the horse of Dixwell's that had staid there fourteen days at the Bell. +So to my Lord's lodgings, where Tom Guy came to me, and there staid to see +the King touch people for the King's evil. But he did not come at all, it +rayned so; and the poor people were forced to stand all the morning in the +rain in the garden. Afterward he touched them in the Banquetting-house. + + [This ceremony is usually traced to Edward the Confessor, but there + is no direct evidence of the early Norman kings having touched for + the evil. Sir John Fortescue, in his defence of the House of + Lancaster against that of York, argued that the crown could not + descend to a female, because the Queen is not qualified by the form + of anointing her, used at the coronation, to cure the disease called + the King's evil. Burn asserts, "History of Parish Registers," 1862, + p. 179, that "between 1660 and 1682, 92,107 persons were touched for + the evil." Everyone coming to the court for that purpose, brought a + certificate signed by the minister and churchwardens, that he had + not at any time been touched by His Majesty. The practice was + supposed to have expired with the Stuarts, but the point being + disputed, reference was made to the library of the Duke of Sussex, + and four several Oxford editions of the Book of Common Prayer were + found, all printed after the accession of the house of Hanover, and + all containing, as an integral part of the service, "The Office for + the Healing." The stamp of gold with which the King crossed the + sore of the sick person was called an angel, and of the value of ten + shillings.

Where he +told me that he had obtained a promise of the Clerk of the Acts place for +me, at which I was glad. Met with Mr. Chetwind, and dined with him at +Hargrave's, the Cornchandler, in St. Martin's Lane, where a good dinner, +where he showed me some good pictures, and an instrument he called an +Angelique. + + [An angelique is described as a species of guitar in Murray's "New + English Dictionary," and this passage from the Diary is given as a + quotation.

Back to Westminster, where my Lord was, +and discoursed with him awhile about his family affairs. So he went away, +I home and wrote letters into the country, and to bed. + +24th. Sunday. Drank my morning draft at Harper's, and bought a pair of +gloves there. So to Mr. G. Montagu, and told him what I had received from +Dover, about his business likely to be chosen there. So home and thence +with my wife towards my father's. She went thither, I to Mr. Crew's, +where I dined and my Lord at my Lord Montagu of Boughton in Little Queen +Street. In the afternoon to Mr. Mossum's with Mr. Moore, and we sat in +Mr. Butler's pew. Then to Whitehall looking for my Lord but in vain, and +back again to Mr. Crew's where I found him and did give him letters. +Among others some simple ones from our Lieutenant, Lieut. Lambert to him +and myself, which made Mr. Crew and us all laugh. I went to my father's +to tell him that I would not come to supper, and so after my business done +at Mr. Crew's I went home and my wife within a little while after me, my +mind all this while full of thoughts for my place of Clerk of the Acts. + +25th. With my Lord at White Hall, all the morning. I spoke with Mr. +Coventry about my business, who promised me all the assistance I could +expect. Dined with young Mr. Powell, lately come from the Sound, being +amused at our great changes here, and Mr. Southerne, now Clerk to Mr. +Coventry, at the Leg in King-street. Thence to the Admiralty, where I met +with Mr. Turner + + [Thomas Turner (or Tourner) was General Clerk at the Navy Office, + and on June 30th he offered Pepys L150 to be made joint Clerk of the + Acts with him.

He +was very civil to me, and I to him, and shall be so. There came a letter +from my Lady Monk to my Lord about it this evening, but he refused to come +to her, but meeting in White Hall, with Sir Thomas Clarges, her brother, +my Lord returned answer, that he could not desist in my business; and that +he believed that General Monk would take it ill if my Lord should name the +officers in his army; and therefore he desired to have the naming of one +officer in the fleet. With my Lord by coach to Mr. Crew's, and very merry +by the way, discoursing of the late changes and his good fortune. Thence +home, and then with my wife to Dorset House, to deliver a list of the +names of the justices of the peace for Huntingdonshire. By coach, taking +Mr. Fox part of the way with me, that was with us with the King on board +the Nazeby, who I found to have married Mrs. Whittle, that lived at Mr. +Geer's so long. A very civil gentleman. At Dorset House I met with Mr. +Kipps, my old friend, with whom the world is well changed, he being now +sealbearer to the Lord Chancellor, at which my wife and I are well +pleased, he being a very good natured man. Home and late writing letters. +Then to my Lord's lodging, this being the first night of his coming to +Whitehall to lie since his coming from sea. + +26th. My Lord dined at his lodgings all alone to-day. I went to +Secretary Nicholas + + [Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State to Charles I. and II. + He was dismissed from his office through the intrigues of Lady + Castlemaine in 1663. He died 1669, aged seventy-seven.] + +to carry him my Lord's resolutions about his title, which he had chosen, +and that is Portsmouth. + + [Montagu changed his mind, and ultimately took his title from the + town of Sandwich, leaving that of Portsmouth for the use of a King's + mistress.] + +I met with Mr. Throgmorton, a merchant, who went with me to the old Three +Tuns, at Charing Cross, who did give me five pieces of gold for to do him +a small piece of service about a convoy to Bilbo, which I did. In the +afternoon, one Mr. Watts came to me, a merchant, to offer me L500 if I +would desist from the Clerk of the Acts place. I pray God direct me in +what I do herein. Went to my house, where I found my father, and carried +him and my wife to Whitefriars, and myself to Puddlewharf, to the +Wardrobe, to Mr. Townsend, who went with me to Backwell, the goldsmith's, +and there we chose L100 worth of plate for my Lord to give Secretary +Nicholas. Back and staid at my father's, and so home to bed. + +27th. With my Lord to the Duke, where he spoke to Mr. Coventry to +despatch my business of the Acts, in which place every body gives me joy, +as if I were in it, which God send. + + [The letters patent, dated July 13th, 12 Charles II., recite and + revoke letters patent of February 16th, 14 Charles I., whereby the + office of Clerk of the Ships had been given to Dennis Fleming and + Thomas Barlow, or the survivor.

This + salary was only the ancient "fee out of the Exchequer," which had + been attached to the office for more than a century. Pepys's salary + had been previously fixed at L350 a year.] + +Dined with my Lord and all the officers of his regiment, who invited my +Lord and his friends, as many as he would bring, to dinner, at the Swan, +at Dowgate, a poor house and ill dressed, but very good fish and plenty. +Here Mr. Symons, the Surgeon, told me how he was likely to lose his estate +that he had bought, at which I was not a little pleased. To Westminster, +and with Mr. Howe by coach to the Speaker's, where my Lord supped with the +King, but I could not get in. So back again, and after a song or two in +my chamber in the dark, which do (now that the bed is out) sound very +well, I went home and to bed. + +28th. My brother Tom came to me with patterns to choose for a suit. I +paid him all to this day, and did give him L10 upon account. To Mr. +Coventry, who told me that he would do me all right in my business. To +Sir G. Downing, the first visit I have made him since he came. He is so +stingy a fellow I care not to see him; I quite cleared myself of his +office, and did give him liberty to take any body in. Hawly and he are +parted too, he is going to serve Sir Thos. Ingram. I went also this +morning to see Mrs. Pierce, the chirurgeon['s wife]. I found her in bed +in her house in Margaret churchyard. Her husband returned to sea. I did +invite her to go to dinner with me and my wife to-day. After all this to +my Lord, who lay a-bed till eleven o'clock, it being almost five before he +went to bed, they supped so late last night with the King. This morning I +saw poor Bishop Wren + + [Matthew Wren, born 1585, successively Bishop of Hereford, Norwich, + and Ely. At the commencement of the Rebellion he was sent to the + Tower, and remained a prisoner there eighteen years. Died April + 24th, 1667.] + +going to Chappel, it being a thanksgiving-day + + ["A Proclamation for setting apart a day of Solemn and Publick + Thanksgiving throughout the whole Kingdom," dated June 5th, 1660.] + +for the King's return. After my Lord was awake, I went up to him to the +Nursery, where he do lie, and, having talked with him a little, I took +leave and carried my wife and Mrs. Pierce to Clothworkers'-Hall, to +dinner, where Mr. Pierce, the Purser, met us. We were invited by Mr. +Chaplin, the Victualler, where Nich. Osborne was. Our entertainment very +good, a brave hall, good company, and very good music. Where among other +things I was pleased that I could find out a man by his voice, whom I had +never seen before, to be one that sang behind the curtaine formerly at Sir +W. Davenant's opera. Here Dr. Gauden and Mr. Gauden the victualler dined +with us. After dinner to Mr. Rawlinson's, + + [Daniel Rawlinson kept the Mitre in Fenchurch Street, and there is a + farthing token of his extant, "At the Mitetr in Fenchurch Streete, + D. M. R." The initials stand for Daniel and Margaret Rawlinson (see + "Boyne's Trade Tokens," ed. Williamson, vol. i., 1889, p. 595) In + "Reliquiae Hearnianae" (ed. Bliss, 1869, vol. ii. p. 39) is the + following extract from Thomas Rawlinson's Note Book R.: "Of Daniel + Rawlinson, my grandfather, who kept the Mitre tavern in Fenchurch + Street, and of whose being sequestred in the Rump time I have heard + much, the Whiggs tell this, that upon the king's murder he hung his + signe in mourning. He certainly judged right. The honour of the + Mitre was much eclipsed through the loss of so good a parent of the + church of England. These rogues say, this endeared him so much to + the churchmen that he soon throve amain and got a good estate." + Mrs. Rawlinson died of the plague (see August 9th, 1666), and the + house was burnt in the Great Fire. Mr. Rawlinson rebuilt the Mitre, + and he had the panels of the great room painted with allegorical + figures by Isaac Fuller.

The well-known + antiquaries, Thomas and Richard Rawlinson, sons of Sir Thomas, were + therefore grandsons of Daniel.] + +to see him and his wife, and would have gone to my Aunt Wight, but that +her only child, a daughter, died last night. Home and to my Lord, who +supped within, and Mr. E. Montagu, Mr. Thos. Crew, and others with him sat +up late. I home and to bed. + +29th. This day or two my maid Jane--[Jane Wayneman.]--has been lame, that +we cannot tell what to do for want of her. Up and to White Hall, where I +got my warrant from the Duke to be Clerk of the Acts. Also I got my +Lord's warrant from the Secretary for his honour of Earle of Portsmouth, +and Viscount Montagu of Hinchingbroke. So to my Lord, to give him an +account of what I had done. Then to Sir Geffery Palmer, to give them to +him to have bills drawn upon them, who told me that my Lord must have some +good Latinist to make the preamble to his Patent, which must express his +late service in the best terms that he can, and he told me in what high +flaunting terms Sir J. Greenville had caused his to be done, which he do +not like; but that Sir Richard Fanshawe had done General Monk's very well. +Back to Westminster, and meeting Mr. Townsend in the Palace, he and I and +another or two went and dined at the Leg there. Then to White Hall, where +I was told by Mr. Hutchinson at the Admiralty, that Mr. Barlow, my +predecessor, Clerk of the Acts, is yet alive, and coming up to town to +look after his place, which made my heart sad a little. At night told my +Lord thereof, and he bade me get possession of my Patent; and he would do +all that could be done to keep him out. This night my Lord and I looked +over the list of the Captains,. and marked some that my Lord had a mind to +have put out. Home and to bed. Our wench very lame, abed these two days. + +30th. By times to Sir R. Fanshawe to draw up the preamble to my Lord's +Patent. So to my Lord, and with him to White Hall, where I saw a great +many fine antique heads of marble, that my Lord Northumberland had given +the King. Here meeting with Mr. De Cretz, he looked over many of the +pieces, in the gallery with me and told me [by] whose hands they were, +with great pleasure. Dined at home and Mr. Hawly with me upon six of my +pigeons, which my wife has resolved to kill here. This day came Will, + + [William Wayneman was constantly getting into trouble, and Pepys had + to cane him. He was dismissed on July 7th, 1663.] + +my boy, to me; the wench continuing lame, so that my wife could not be +longer without somebody to help her. In the afternoon with Sir Edward +Walker, at his lodgings by St. Giles Church, for my Lord's pedigree, and +carried it to Sir R. Fanshawe. To Mr. Crew's, and there took money and +paid Mrs. Anne, Mrs. Jemima's maid, off quite, and so she went away and +another came to her. To White Hall with Mr. Moore, where I met with a +letter from Mr. Turner, offering me L150 to be joined with me in my +patent, and to advise me how to improve the advantage of my place, and to +keep off Barlow. To my Lord's till late at night, and so home. + + DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS. + JULY + 1660 + +July 1st. This morning came home my fine Camlett cloak, + + [Camlet was a mixed stuff of wool and silk. It was very expensive, + and later Pepys gave L24 for a suit. (See June 1st, 1664.)] + +with gold buttons, and a silk suit, which cost me much money, and I pray +God to make me able to pay for it. I went to the cook's and got a good +joint of meat, and my wife and I dined at home alone. In the afternoon to +the Abbey, where a good sermon by a stranger, but no Common Prayer yet. +After sermon called in at Mrs. Crisp's, where I saw Mynheer Roder, that is +to marry Sam Hartlib's sister, a great fortune for her to light on, she +being worth nothing in the world. Here I also saw Mrs. Greenlife, who is +come again to live in Axe Yard with her new husband Mr. Adams. Then to my +Lord's, where I staid a while. So to see for Mr. Creed to speak about +getting a copy of Barlow's patent. To my Lord's, where late at night +comes Mr. Morland, whom I left prating with my Lord, and so home. + +2nd. Infinite of business that my heart and head and all were full. Met +with purser Washington, with whom and a lady, a friend of his, I dined at +the Bell Tavern in King Street, but the rogue had no more manners than to +invite me and to let me pay my club. All the afternoon with my Lord, +going up and down the town; at seven at night he went home, and there the +principal Officers of the Navy, + + [A list of the Officers of the Admiralty, May 31st, 1660. From a + MS. in the Pepysian Library in Pepys's own handwriting. + His Royal Highness James, Duke of York, Lord High Admiral. + Sir George Carteret, Treasurer. + Sir Robert Slingsby, (soon after) Comptroller. + Sir William Batten, Surveyor. + Samuel Pepys, Esq., Clerk of the Acts. + + John, Lord Berkeley (of Stratton,)| + Sir William Penn, | Commissioners. + Peter Pett, Esq.--B,] | + +among the rest myself was reckoned one. We had order to meet to-morrow, +to draw up such an order of the Council as would put us into action before +our patents were passed. At which my heart was glad. At night supped +with my Lord, he and I together, in the great dining-room alone by +ourselves, the first time I ever did it in London. Home to bed, my maid +pretty well again. + +3d. All the morning the Officers and Commissioners of the Navy, we met at +Sir G. Carteret's + + [Sir George Carteret, born 1599, had originally been bred to the sea + service, and became Comptroller of the Navy to Charles I., and + Governor of Jersey, where he obtained considerable reputation by his + gallant defence of that island against the Parliament forces. At + the Restoration he was made Vice-Chamberlain to the King, Treasurer + of the Navy, and a Privy Councillor, and in 1661 he was elected M.P. + for Portsmouth. In 1666 he exchanged the Treasurership of the Navy + with the Earl of Anglesea for the Vice-Treasurership of Ireland. He + became a Commissioner of the Admiralty in 1673. He continued in + favour with Charles II. till his death, January 14th, 1679, in his + eightieth year. He married his cousin Elizabeth, daughter of Sir + Philip Carteret, Knight of St. Ouen, and had issue three sons and + five daughters.] + +chamber, and agreed upon orders for the Council to supersede the old ones, +and empower us to act. Dined with Mr. Stephens, the Treasurer's man of +the Navy, and Mr. Turner, to whom I offered L50 out of my own purse for +one year, and the benefit of a Clerk's allowance beside, which he thanked +me for; but I find he hath some design yet in his head, which I could not +think of. In the afternoon my heart was quite pulled down, by being told +that Mr. Barlow was to enquire to-day for Mr. Coventry; but at night I met +with my Lord, who told me that I need not fear, for he would get me the +place against the world. And when I came to W. Howe, he told me that Dr. +Petty had been with my Lord, and did tell him that Barlow was a sickly +man, and did not intend to execute the place himself, which put me in +great comfort again. Till 2 in the morning writing letters and things for +my Lord to send to sea. So home to my wife to bed. + +4th. Up very early in the morning and landing my wife at White Friars +stairs, I went to the Bridge and so to the Treasurer's of the Navy, with +whom I spake about the business of my office, who put me into very good +hopes of my business. At his house comes Commissioner Pett, and he and I +went to view the houses in Seething Lane, belonging to the Navy, + + [The Navy Office was erected on the site of Lumley House, formerly + belonging to the Fratres Sancta Crucis (or Crutched Friars), and all + business connected with naval concerns was transacted there till its + removal to Somerset House.--The ground was afterwards occupied by + the East India Company's warehouses. The civil business of the + Admiralty was removed from Somerset House to Spring Gardens in + 1869.] + +where I find the worst very good, and had great fears in my mind that they +will shuffle me out of them, which troubles me. From thence to the Excise +Office in Broad Street, where I received L500 for my Lord, by appointment +of the Treasurer, and went afterwards down with Mr. Luddyard and drank my +morning draft with him and other officers. Thence to Mr. Backewell's, the +goldsmith, where I took my Lord's L100 in plate for Mr. Secretary +Nicholas, and my own piece of plate, being a state dish and cup in chased +work for Mr. Coventry, cost me above L19. Carried these and the money by +coach to my Lord's at White Hall, and from thence carried Nicholas's plate +to his house and left it there, intending to speak with him anon. So to +Westminster Hall, where meeting with M. L'Impertinent and W. Bowyer, I +took them to the Sun Tavern, and gave them a lobster and some wine, and +sat talking like a fool till 4 o'clock. So to my Lord's, and walking all +the afternoon in White Hall Court, in expectation of what shall be done in +the Council as to our business. It was strange to see how all the people +flocked together bare, to see the King looking out of the Council window. +At night my Lord told me how my orders that I drew last night about giving +us power to act, are granted by the Council. At which he and I were very +glad. Home and to bed, my boy lying in my house this night the first +time. + +5th. This morning my brother Tom brought me my jackanapes coat with +silver buttons. It rained this morning, which makes us fear that the +glory of this great day will be lost; the King and Parliament being to be +entertained by the City to-day with great pomp. + + ["July 5th. His Majesty, the two Dukes, the House of Lords, and the + House of Commons, and the Privy Council, dined at the Guildhall. + Every Hall appeared with their colours and streamers to attend His + Majesty; the Masters in gold chains. Twelve pageants in the streets + between Temple Bar and Guildhall. Forty brace of bucks were that + day spent in the City of London."--Rugge's Diurnal.--B.] + +Mr. Hater' was with me to-day, and I agreed with him to be my clerk. + + [Thomas Hayter. He remained with Pepys for some time; and by his + assistance was made Petty Purveyor of Petty Missions. He succeeded + Pepys as Clerk of the Acts in 1673, and in 1679 he was Secretary of + the Admiralty, and Comptroller of the Navy from 1680 to 1682.] + +Being at White Hall, I saw the King, the Dukes, and all their attendants +go forth in the rain to the City, and it bedraggled many a fine suit of +clothes. I was forced to walk all the morning in White Hall, not knowing +how to get out because of the rain. Met with Mr. Cooling, my Lord +Chamberlain's secretary, who took me to dinner among the gentlemen +waiters, and after dinner into the wine-cellar. He told me how he had a +project for all us Secretaries to join together, and get money by bringing +all business into our hands. Thence to the Admiralty, where Mr. +Blackburne and I (it beginning to hold up) went and walked an hour or two +in the Park, he giving of me light in many things in my way in this office +that I go about. And in the evening I got my present of plate carried to +Mr. Coventry's. At my Lord's at night comes Dr. Petty to me, to tell me +that Barlow had come to town, and other things, which put me into a +despair, and I went to bed very sad. + +6th. In the morning with my Lord at Whitehall, got the order of the +Council for us to act. From thence to Westminster Hall, and there met +with the Doctor that shewed us so much kindness at the Hague, and took him +to the Sun tavern, and drank with him. So to my Lord's and dined with W. +Howe and Sarah, thinking it might be the last time that I might dine with +them together. In the afternoon my Lord and I, and Mr. Coventry and Sir +G. Carteret, went and took possession of the Navy Office, whereby my mind +was a little cheered, but my hopes not great. From thence Sir G. Carteret +and I to the Treasurer's Office, where he set some things in order. And +so home, calling upon Sir Geoffry Palmer, who did give me advice about my +patent, which put me to some doubt to know what to do, Barlow being alive. +Afterwards called at Mr. Pim's, about getting me a coat of velvet, and he +took me to the Half Moon, and the house so full that we staid above half +an hour before we could get anything. So to my Lord's, where in the dark +W. Howe and I did sing extemporys, and I find by use that we are able to +sing a bass and a treble pretty well. So home, and to bed. + +7th. To my Lord, one with me to buy a Clerk's place, and I did demand +L100. To the Council Chamber, where I took an order for the advance of +the salaries of the officers of the Navy, and I find mine to be raised to +L350 per annum. Thence to the Change, where I bought two fine prints of +Ragotti from Rubens, and afterwards dined with my Uncle and Aunt Wight, +where her sister Cox and her husband were. After that to Mr. Rawlinson's +with my uncle, and thence to the Navy Office, where I began to take an +inventory of the papers, and goods, and books of the office. To my +Lord's, late writing letters. So home to bed. + +8th (Lord's day). To White Hall chapel, where I got in with ease by going +before the Lord Chancellor with Mr. Kipps. Here I heard very good music, +the first time that ever I remember to have heard the organs and +singing-men in surplices in my life. + + [During the Commonwealth organs were destroyed all over the country, + and the following is the title of the Ordinances under which this + destruction took place: "Two Ordinances of the Lords and Commons + assembled in Parliament, for the speedy demolishing of all organs, + images, and all matters of superstitious monuments in all Cathedrals + and Collegiate or Parish Churches and Chapels throughout the Kingdom + of England and the dominion of Wales; the better to accomplish the + blessed reformation so happily begun, and to remove all offences and + things illegal in the worship of God. Dated May 9th, 1644." When + at the period of the Restoration music again obtained its proper + place in the services of the Church, there was much work for the + organ builders. According to Dr. Rimbault ("Hopkins on the Organ," + 1855, p. 74), it was more than fifty years after the Restoration + when our parish churches began commonly to be supplied with organs. + Drake says, in his "Eboracum" (published in 1733), that at that date + only one parish church in the city of York possessed an organ. + Bernard Schmidt, better known as "Father Smith," came to England + from Germany at the time of the Restoration, and he it was who built + the organ at the Chapel Royal. He was in high favour with Charles + II., who allowed, him apartments in Whitehall Palace.] + +The Bishop of Chichester preached before the King, and made a great +flattering sermon, which I did not like that Clergy should meddle with +matters of state. Dined with Mr. Luellin and Salisbury at a cook's shop. +Home, and staid all the afternoon with my wife till after sermon. There +till Mr. Fairebrother came to call us out to my father's to supper. He +told me how he had perfectly procured me to be made Master in Arts by +proxy, which did somewhat please me, though I remember my cousin Roger +Pepys was the other day persuading me from it. While we were at supper +came Win. Howe to supper to us, and after supper went home to bed. + +9th. All the morning at Sir G. Palmer's advising about getting my bill +drawn. From thence to the Navy office, where in the afternoon we met and +sat, and there I begun to sign bills in the Office the first time. From +thence Captain Holland and Mr. Browne of Harwich took me to a tavern and +did give me a collation. From thence to the Temple to further my bills +being done, and so home to my Lord, and thence to bed. + +10th. This day I put on first my new silk suit, the first that ever I +wore in my life. This morning came Nan Pepys' husband Mr. Hall to see me +being lately come to town. I had never seen him before. I took him to +the Swan tavern with Mr. Eglin and there drank our morning draft. Home, +and called my wife, and took her to Dr. Clodius's to a great wedding of +Nan Hartlib to Mynheer Roder, which was kept at Goring House with very +great state, cost, and noble company. But, among all the beauties there, +my wife was thought the greatest. After dinner I left the company, and +carried my wife to Mrs. Turner's. I went to the Attorney-General's, and +had my bill which cost me seven pieces. I called my wife, and set her +home. And finding my Lord in White Hall garden, I got him to go to the +Secretary's, which he did, and desired the dispatch of his and my bills to +be signed by the King. His bill is to be Earl of Sandwich, Viscount +Hinchingbroke, and Baron of St. Neot's. + + [The motive for Sir Edward Montagu's so suddenly altering his + intended title is not explained; probably, the change was adopted as + a compliment to the town of Sandwich, off which the Fleet was lying + before it sailed to bring Charles from Scheveling. Montagu had also + received marked attentions from Sir John Boys and other principal + men at Sandwich; and it may be recollected, as an additional reason, + that one or both of the seats for that borough have usually been + placed at the disposal of the Admiralty. The title of Portsmouth + was given, in 1673, for her life, to the celebrated Louise de + Querouaille, and becoming extinct with her, was, in 1743, conferred + upon John Wallop, Viscount Lymington, the ancestor of the present + Earl of Portsmouth.--B.] + +Home, with my mind pretty quiet: not returning, as I said I would, to see +the bride put to bed. + +11th. With Sir W. Pen by water to the Navy office, where we met, and +dispatched business. And that being done, we went all to dinner to the +Dolphin, upon Major Brown's invitation. After that to the office again, +where I was vexed, and so was Commissioner Pett, to see a busy fellow come +to look out the best lodgings for my Lord Barkley, and the combining +between him and Sir W. Pen; and, indeed, was troubled much at it. Home to +White Hall, and took out my bill signed by the King, and carried it to Mr. +Watkins of the Privy Seal to be despatched there, and going home to take a +cap, I borrowed a pair of sheets of Mr. Howe, and by coach went to the +Navy office, and lay (Mr. Hater, my clerk, with me) at Commissioner +Willoughby's' house, where I was received by him very civilly and slept +well. + +12th. Up early and by coach to White Hall with Commissioner Pett, where, +after we had talked with my Lord, I went to the Privy Seal and got my bill +perfected there, and at the Signet: and then to the House of Lords, and +met with Mr. Kipps, who directed me to Mr. Beale to get my patent +engrossed; but he not having time to get it done in Chancery-hand, I was +forced to run all up and down Chancery-lane, and the Six Clerks' Office + + [The Six Clerks' Office was in Chancery Lane, near the Holborn end. + The business of the office was to enrol commissions, pardons, + patents, warrants, &c., that had passed the Great Seal; also other + business in Chancery. In the early history of the Court of + Chancery, the Six Clerks and their under-clerks appear to have acted + as the attorneys of the suitors. As business increased, these + under-clerks became a distinct body, and were recognized by the + court under the denomination of 'sworn clerks,' or 'clerks in + court.' The advance of commerce, with its consequent accession of + wealth, so multiplied the subjects requiring the judgment of a Court + of Equity, that the limits of a public office were found wholly + inadequate to supply a sufficient number of officers to conduct the + business of the suitors. Hence originated the 'Solicitors' of the + "Court of Chancery." See Smith's "Chancery Practice," p. 62, 3rd + edit. The "Six Clerks" were abolished by act of Parliament, + 5 Vict. c. 5.] + +but could find none that could write the hand, that were at leisure. And +so in a despair went to the Admiralty, where we met the first time there, +my Lord Montagu, my Lord Barkley, Mr. Coventry, and all the rest of the +principal Officers and Commissioners, [except] only the Controller, who is +not yet chosen. At night to Mr. Kipps's lodgings, but not finding him, I +went to Mr. Spong's and there I found him and got him to come to me to my +Lord's lodgings at 11 o'clock of night, when I got him to take my bill to +write it himself (which was a great providence that he could do it) +against to-morrow morning. I late writing letters to sea by the post, and +so home to bed. In great trouble because I heard at Mr. Beale's to-day +that Barlow had been there and said that he would make a stop in the +business. + +13th. Up early, the first day that I put on my black camlett coat with +silver buttons. To Mr. Spong, whom I found in his night-down writing of +my patent, and he had done as far as he could "for that &c." by 8 o'clock. +It being done, we carried it to Worcester House to the Chancellor, where +Mr. Kipps (a strange providence that he should now be in a condition to do +me a kindness, which I never thought him capable of doing for me), got me +the Chancellor's recepi to my bill; and so carried it to Mr. Beale for a +dockett; but he was very angry, and unwilling to do it, because he said it +was ill writ (because I had got it writ by another hand, and not by him); +but by much importunity I got Mr. Spong to go to his office and make an +end of my patent; and in the mean time Mr. Beale to be preparing my +dockett, which being done, I did give him two pieces, after which it was +strange how civil and tractable he was to me. From thence I went to the +Navy office, where we despatched much business, and resolved of the houses +for the Officers and Commissioners, which I was glad of, and I got leave +to have a door made me into the leads. From thence, much troubled in mind +about my patent, I went to Mr. Beale again, who had now finished my patent +and made it ready for the Seal, about an hour after I went to meet him at +the Chancellor's. So I went away towards Westminster, and in my way met +with Mr. Spong, and went with him to Mr. Lilly and ate some bread and +cheese, and drank with him, who still would be giving me council of +getting my patent out, for fear of another change, and my Lord Montagu's +fall. After that to Worcester House, where by Mr. Kipps's means, and my +pressing in General Montagu's name to the Chancellor, I did, beyond all +expectation, get my seal passed; and while it was doing in one room, I was +forced to keep Sir G. Carteret (who by chance met me there, ignorant of my +business) in talk, while it was a doing. Went home and brought my wife +with me into London, and some money, with which I paid Mr. Beale L9 in +all, and took my patent of him and went to my wife again, whom I had left +in a coach at the door of Hinde Court, and presented her with my patent at +which she was overjoyed; so to the Navy office, and showed her my house, +and were both mightily pleased at all things there, and so to my business. +So home with her, leaving her at her mother's door. I to my Lord's, where +I dispatched an order for a ship to fetch Sir R. Honywood home, for which +I got two pieces of my Lady Honywood by young Mr. Powell. Late writing +letters; and great doings of music at the next house, which was Whally's; +the King and Dukes there with Madame Palmer, + + [Barbara Villiers, only child of William, second Viscount Grandison, + born November, 1640, married April 14th, 1659, to Roger Palmer, + created Earl of Castlemaine, 1661. She became the King's mistress + soon after the Restoration, and was in 1670 made Baroness Nonsuch, + Countess of Southampton, and Duchess of Cleveland. She had six + children by the King, one of them being created Duke of Grafton, and + the eldest son succeeding her as Duke of Cleveland. She + subsequently married Beau Fielding, whom she prosecuted for bigamy. + She died October 9th, 1709, aged sixty-nine. Her life was written + by G. Steinman Steinman, and privately printed 1871, with addenda + 1874, and second addenda 1878.] + +a pretty woman that they have a fancy to, to make her husband a cuckold. +Here at the old door that did go into his lodgings, my Lord, I, and W. +Howe, did stand listening a great while to the music. After that home to +bed. This day I should have been at Guildhall to have borne witness for +my brother Hawly against Black Collar, but I could not, at which I was +troubled. To bed with the greatest quiet of mind that I have had a great +while, having ate nothing but a bit of bread and cheese at Lilly's to-day, +and a bit of bread and butter after I was a-bed. + +14th. Up early and advised with my wife for the putting of all our things +in a readiness to be sent to our new house. To my Lord's, where he was in +bed very late. So with Major Tollhurst and others to Harper's, and I sent +for my barrel of pickled oysters and there ate them; while we were doing +so, comes in Mr. Pagan Fisher; the poet, and promises me what he had long +ago done, a book in praise of the King of France, with my armes, and a +dedication to me very handsome. After him comes Mr. Sheply come from sea +yesterday, whom I was glad to see that he may ease me of the trouble of my +Lord's business. So to my Lord's, where I staid doing his business and +taking his commands. After that to Westminster Hall, where I paid all my +debts in order to my going away from hence. Here I met with Mr. Eglin, +who would needs take me to the Leg in King Street and gave me a dish of +meat to dinner; and so I sent for Mons. L'Impertinent, where we sat long +and were merry. After that parted, and I took Mr. Butler [Mons. +L'Impertinent] with me into London by coach and shewed him my house at the +Navy Office, and did give order for the laying in coals. So into Fenchurch +Street, and did give him a glass of wine at Rawlinson's, and was trimmed +in the street. So to my Lord's late writing letters, and so home, where +I found my wife had packed up all her goods in the house fit for a +removal. So to bed. + +15th. Lay long in bed to recover my rest. Going forth met with Mr. +Sheply, and went and drank my morning draft with him at Wilkinson's, and +my brother Spicer.--[Jack Spicer, brother clerk of the Privy Seal.]--After +that to Westminster Abbey, and in Henry the Seventh's Chappell heard part +of a sermon, the first that ever I heard there. To my Lord's and dined +all alone at the table with him. After dinner he and I alone fell to +discourse, and I find him plainly to be a sceptic in all things of +religion, and to make no great matter of anything therein, but to be a +perfect Stoic. In the afternoon to Henry the Seventh's Chappell, where I +heard service and a sermon there, and after that meeting W. Bowyer there, +he and I to the Park, and walked a good while till night. So to Harper's +and drank together, and Captain Stokes came to us and so I fell into +discourse of buying paper at the first hand in my office, and the Captain +promised me to buy it for me in France. After that to my Lord's lodgings, +where I wrote some business and so home. My wife at home all the day, she +having no clothes out, all being packed up yesterday. For this month I +have wholly neglected anything of news, and so have beyond belief been +ignorant how things go, but now by my patent my mind is in some quiet, +which God keep. I was not at my father's to-day, I being afraid to go for +fear he should still solicit me to speak to my Lord for a place in the +Wardrobe, which I dare not do, because of my own business yet. My wife +and I mightily pleased with our new house that we hope to have. My patent +has cost me a great deal of money, about L40, which is the only thing at +present which do trouble me much. In the afternoon to Henry the Seventh's +chapel, where I heard a sermon and spent (God forgive me) most of my time +in looking upon Mrs. Butler. After that with W. Bowyer to walk in the +Park. Afterwards to my Lord's lodgings, and so home to bed, having not +been at my father's to-day. + +16th, This morning it proved very rainy weather so that I could not remove +my goods to my house. I to my office and did business there, and so home, +it being then sunrise, but by the time that I got to my house it began to +rain again, so that I could not carry my goods by cart as I would have +done. After that to my Lord's and so home and to bed. + +17th. This morning (as indeed all the mornings nowadays) much business at +my Lord's. There came to my house before I went out Mr. Barlow, an old +consumptive man, and fair conditioned, with whom I did discourse a great +while, and after much talk I did grant him what he asked, viz., L50 per +annum, if my salary be not increased, and (100 per annum, in case it be to +L350), at which he was very well pleased to be paid as I received my money +and not otherwise. Going to my Lord's I found my Lord had got a great +cold and kept his bed, and so I brought him to my Lord's bedside, and he +and I did agree together to this purpose what I should allow him. That +done and the day proving fair I went home and got all my goods packed up +and sent away, and my wife and I and Mrs. Hunt went by coach, overtaking +the carts a-drinking in the Strand. Being come to my house and set in the +goods, and at night sent my wife and Mrs. Hunt to buy something for +supper; they bought a Quarter of Lamb, and so we ate it, but it was not +half roasted. Will, Mr. Blackburne's nephew, is so obedient, that I am +greatly glad of him. At night he and I and Mrs. Hunt home by water to +Westminster. I to my Lord, and after having done some business with him +in his chamber in the Nursery, which has been now his chamber since he +came from sea, I went on foot with a linkboy to my home, where I found my +wife in bed and Jane washing the house, and Will the boy sleeping, and a +great deal of sport I had before I could wake him. I to bed the first +night that I ever lay here with my wife. + +18th. This morning the carpenter made an end of my door out of my chamber +upon the leads. + +This morning we met at the office: I dined at my house in Seething Lane, +and after that, going about 4 o'clock to Westminster, I met with Mr. +Carter and Mr. Cooke coming to see me in a coach, and so I returned home. +I did also meet with Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, with a porter with him, with +a barrel of Lemons, which my man Burr sends me from sea. I took all these +people home to my house and did give them some drink, and after them comes +Mr. Sheply, and after a little stay we all went by water to Westminster as +far as the New Exchange. Thence to my Lord about business, and being in +talk in comes one with half a buck from Hinchinbroke, and it smelling a +little strong my Lord did give it me (though it was as good as any could +be). I did carry it to my mother, where I had not been a great while, and +indeed had no great mind to go, because my father did lay upon me +continually to do him a kindness at the Wardrobe, which I could not do +because of my own business being so fresh with my Lord. But my father was +not at home, and so I did leave the venison with her to dispose of as she +pleased. After that home, where W. Hewer now was, and did lie this night +with us, the first night. My mind very quiet, only a little trouble I have +for the great debts which I have still upon me to the Secretary, Mr. +Kipps, and Mr. Spong for my patent. + +19th. I did lie late a-bed. I and my wife by water, landed her at +Whitefriars with her boy with an iron of our new range which is already +broke and my wife will have changed, and many other things she has to buy +with the help of my father to-day. I to my Lord and found him in bed. +This day I received my commission to swear people the oath of allegiance +and supremacy delivered me by my Lord. After talk with my Lord I went to +Westminster Hall, where I took Mr. Michell and his wife, and Mrs. Murford +we sent for afterwards, to the Dog Tavern, where I did give them a dish of +anchovies and olives and paid for all, and did talk of our old discourse +when we did use to talk of the King, in the time of the Rump, privately; +after that to the Admiralty Office, in White Hall, where I staid and writ +my last observations for these four days last past. Great talk of the +difference between the Episcopal and Presbyterian Clergy, but I believe it +will come to nothing. So home and to bed. + +20th. We sat at the office this morning, Sir W. Batten and Mr. Pett being +upon a survey to Chatham. This morning I sent my wife to my father's and +he is to give me L5 worth of pewter. After we rose at the office, I went +to my father's, where my Uncle Fenner and all his crew and Captain Holland +and his wife and my wife were at dinner at a venison pasty of the venison +that I did give my mother the other day. I did this time show so much +coldness to W. Joyce that I believe all the table took notice of it. +After that to Westminster about my Lord's business and so home, my Lord +having not been well these two or three days, and I hear that Mr. Barnwell +at Hinchinbroke is fallen sick again. Home and to bed. + +21st. This morning Mr. Barlow had appointed for me to bring him what form +I would have the agreement between him and me to pass, which I did to his +lodgings at the Golden Eagle in the new street--[Still retains the name +New Street.]--between Fetter Lane and Shoe Lane, where he liked it very +well, and I from him went to get Mr. Spong to engross it in duplicates. +To my Lord and spoke to him about the business of the Privy Seal for me to +be sworn, though I got nothing by it, but to do Mr. Moore a kindness, +which he did give me a good answer to. Went to the Six Clerks' office to +Mr. Spong for the writings, and dined with him at a club at the next door, +where we had three voices to sing catches. So to my house to write +letters and so to Whitehall about business of my Lord's concerning his +creation,--[As Earl of Sandwich.]--and so home and to bed. + +22nd. Lord's day. All this last night it had rained hard. My brother +Tom came this morning the first time to see me, and I paid him all that I +owe my father to this day. Afterwards I went out and looked into several +churches, and so to my uncle Fenner's, whither my wife was got before me, +and we, my father and mother, and all the Joyces, and my aunt Bell, whom I +had not seen many a year before. After dinner to White Hall (my wife to +church with K. Joyce), where I find my Lord at home, and walked in the +garden with him, he showing me all the respect that can be. I left him +and went to walk in the Park, where great endeavouring to get into the +inward Park,--[This is still railed off from St. James's Park, and called +the Enclosure.]--but could not get in; one man was basted by the keeper, +for carrying some people over on his back through the water. Afterwards +to my Lord's, where I staid and drank with Mr. Sheply, having first sent +to get a pair of oars. It was the first time that ever I went by water on +the Lord's day. Home, and at night had a chapter read; and I read prayers +out of the Common Prayer Book, the first time that ever I read prayers in +this house. So to bed. + +23rd. This morning Mr. Barlow comes to me, and he and I went forth to a +scrivener in Fenchurch Street, whom we found sick of the gout in bed, and +signed and sealed our agreement before him. He urged to have these words +(in consideration whereof) to be interlined, which I granted, though +against my will. Met this morning at the office, and afterwards Mr. +Barlow by appointment came and dined with me, and both of us very pleasant +and pleased. After dinner to my Lord, who took me to Secretary Nicholas, +and there before him and Secretary Morris, my Lord and I upon our knees +together took our oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy; and the Oath of the +Privy Seal, of which I was much glad, though I am not likely to get +anything by it at present; but I do desire it, for fear of a turn-out of +our office. That done and my Lord gone from me, I went with Mr. Cooling +and his brother, and Sam Hartlibb, little Jennings and some others to the +King's Head Tavern at Charing Cross, where after drinking I took boat and +so home, where we supped merrily among ourselves (our little boy proving a +droll) and so after prayers to bed. This day my Lord had heard that Mr. +Barnwell was dead, but it is not so yet, though he be very ill. I was +troubled all this day with Mr. Cooke, being willing to do him good, but my +mind is so taken up with my own business that I cannot. + +24th. To White Hall, where I did acquaint Mr. Watkins with my being sworn +into the Privy Seal, at which he was much troubled, but put it up and did +offer me a kinsman of his to be my clerk, which I did give him some hope +of, though I never intend it. In the afternoon I spent much time in +walking in White Hall Court with Mr. Bickerstaffe, who was very glad of my +Lord's being sworn, because of his business with his brother Baron, which +is referred to my Lord Chancellor, and to be ended to-morrow. Baron had +got a grant beyond sea, to come in before the reversionary of the Privy +Seal. This afternoon Mr. Mathews came to me, to get a certificate of my +Lord's and my being sworn, which I put in some forwardness, and so home +and to bed. + +25th. In the morning at the office, and after that down to Whitehall, +where I met with Mr. Creed, and with him and a Welsh schoolmaster, a good +scholar but a very pedagogue, to the ordinary at the Leg in King Street.' +I got my certificate of my Lord's and my being sworn. This morning my +Lord took leave of the House of Commons, and had the thanks of the House +for his great services to his country. In the afternoon (but this is a +mistake, for it was yesterday in the afternoon) Monsieur L'Impertinent and +I met and I took him to the Sun and drank with him, and in the evening +going away we met his mother and sisters and father coming from the +Gatehouse; where they lodge, where I did the first time salute them all, +and very pretty Madame Frances--[Frances Butler, the beauty.]--is indeed. +After that very late home and called in Tower Street, and there at a +barber's was trimmed the first time. Home and to bed. + +26th. Early to White Hall, thinking to have a meeting of my Lord and the +principal officers, but my Lord could not, it being the day that he was to +go and be admitted in the House of Lords, his patent being done, which he +presented upon his knees to the Speaker; and so it was read in the House, +and he took his place. I at the Privy Seal Office with Mr. Hooker, who +brought me acquainted with Mr. Crofts of the Signet, and I invited them to +a dish of meat at the Leg in King Street, and so we dined there and I paid +for all and had very good light given me as to my employment there. +Afterwards to Mr. Pierces, where I should have dined but I could not, but +found Mr. Sheply and W. Howe there. After we had drunk hard we parted, +and I went away and met Dr. Castle, who is one of the Clerks of the Privy +Seal, and told him how things were with my Lord and me, which he received +very gladly. I was this day told how Baron against all expectation and +law has got the place of Bickerstaffe, and so I question whether he will +not lay claim to wait the next month, but my Lord tells me that he will +stand for it. In the evening I met with T. Doling, who carried me to St. +James's Fair, + + [August, 1661: "This year the Fair, called St. James's Fair, was + kept the full appointed time, being a fortnight; but during that + time many lewd and infamous persons were by his Majesty's express + command to the Lord Chamberlain, and his Lordship's direction to + Robert Nelson, Esq., committed to the House of Correction."--Rugge's + Diurnal. St; James's fair was held first in the open space near St. + James's Palace, and afterwards in St. James's Market. It was + prohibited by the Parliament in 1651, but revived at the + Restoration. It was, however, finally suppressed before the close + of the reign of Charles II.] + +and there meeting with W. Symons and his wife, and Luellin, and D. +Scobell's wife and cousin, we went to Wood's at the Pell Mell + + [This is one of the earliest references to Pall Mall as an inhabited + street, and also one of the earliest uses of the word clubbing.] + +(our old house for clubbing), and there we spent till 10 at night, at +which time I sent to my Lord's for my clerk Will to come to me, and so by +link home to bed. Where I found Commissioner Willoughby had sent for all +his things away out of my bedchamber, which is a little disappointment, +but it is better than pay too dear for them. + +27th: The last night Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen came to their houses at +the office. Met this morning and did business till noon. Dined at home +and from thence to my Lord's where Will, my clerk, and I were all the +afternoon making up my accounts, which we had done by night, and I find +myself worth about L100 after all my expenses. At night I sent to W. +Bowyer to bring me L100, being that he had in his hands of my Lord's. in +keeping, out of which I paid Mr. Sheply all that remained due to my Lord +upon my balance, and took the rest home with me late at night. We got a +coach, but the horses were tired and could not carry us farther than St. +Dunstan's. So we 'light and took a link and so home weary to bed. + +28th. Early in the morning rose, and a boy brought me a letter from Poet +Fisher, who tells me that he is upon a panegyrique of the King, and +desired to borrow a piece of me; and I sent him half a piece. To +Westminster, and there dined with Mr. Sheply and W. Howe, afterwards +meeting with Mr. Henson, who had formerly had the brave clock that went +with bullets (which is now taken away from him by the King, it being his +goods). + + [Some clocks are still made with a small ball, or bullet, on an + inclined plane, which turns every minute. The King's clocks + probably dropped bullets. Gainsborough the painter had a brother + who was a dissenting minister at Henley-on-Thames, and possessed a + strong genius for mechanics. He invented a clock of a very peculiar + construction, which, after his death, was deposited in the British + Museum. It told the hour by a little bell, and was kept in motion + by a leaden bullet, which dropped from a spiral reservoir at the top + of the clock, into a little ivory bucket. This was so contrived as + to discharge it at the bottom, and by means of a counter-weight was + carried up to the top of the clock, where it received another + bullet, which was discharged as the former. This seems to have been + an attempt at the perpetual motion.--Gentleman's Magazine, 1785, + p. 931.--B.] + +I went with him to the Swan Tavern and sent for Mr. Butler, who was now +all full of his high discourse in praise of Ireland, whither he and his +whole family are going by Coll. Dillon's persuasion, but so many lies I +never heard in praise of anything as he told of Ireland. So home late at +night and to bed. + +29th. Lord's day. I and my boy Will to Whitehall, and I with my Lord to +White Hall Chappell, where I heard a cold sermon of the Bishop of +Salisbury's, and the ceremonies did not please me, they do so overdo them. +My Lord went to dinner at Kensington with my Lord Camden. So I dined and +took Mr. Birfett, my Lord's chaplain, and his friend along with me, with +Mr. Sheply at my Lord's. In the afternoon with Dick Vines and his brother +Payton, we walked to Lisson Green and Marybone and back again, and finding +my Lord at home I got him to look over my accounts, which he did approve +of and signed them, and so we are even to this day. Of this I was glad, +and do think myself worth clear money about L120. Home late, calling in at +my father's without stay. To bed. + +30th. Sat at our office to-day, and my father came this day the first +time to see us at my new office. And Mrs. Crisp by chance came in and sat +with us, looked over our house and advised about the furnishing of it. +This afternoon I got my L50, due to me for my first quarter's salary as +Secretary to my Lord, paid to Tho. Hater for me, which he received and +brought home to me, of which I am full glad. To Westminster and among +other things met with Mr. Moore, and took him and his friend, a bookseller +of Paul's Churchyard, to the Rhenish Winehouse, and drinking there the +sword-bearer of London (Mr. Man) came to ask for us, with whom we sat +late, discoursing about the worth of my office of Clerk of the Acts, which +he hath a mind to buy, and I asked four years' purchase. We are to speak +more of it to-morrow. Home on foot, and seeing him at home at Butler's +merry, he lent me a torch, which Will carried, and so home. + +31st. To White Hall, where my Lord and the principal officers met, and +had a great discourse about raising of money for the Navy, which is in +very sad condition, and money must be raised for it. Mr. Blackburne, Dr. +Clerke, and I to the Quaker's and dined there. I back to the Admiralty, +and there was doing things in order to the calculating of the debts of the +Navy and other business, all the afternoon. At night I went to the Privy +Seal, where I found Mr. Crofts and Mathews making up all their things to +leave the office tomorrow, to those that come to wait the next month. I +took them to the Sun Tavern and there made them drink, and discoursed +concerning the office, and what I was to expect tomorrow about Baron, who +pretends to the next month. Late home by coach so far as Ludgate with Mr. +Mathews, and thence home on foot with W. Hewer with me, and so to bed. + + + + + + ETEXT EDITOR'S BOOKMARKS: + + A good handsome wench I kissed, the first that I have seen + Among all the beauties there, my wife was thought the greatest + An offer of L500 for a Baronet's dignity + Court attendance infinite tedious + Did not like that Clergy should meddle with matters of state + Dined upon six of my pigeons, which my wife has resolved to kill + Five pieces of gold for to do him a small piece of service + God help him, he wants bread. + Had no more manners than to invite me and to let me pay + How the Presbyterians would be angry if they durst + I pray God to make me able to pay for it. + I went to the cook's and got a good joint of meat + King's Proclamation against drinking, swearing, and debauchery + L100 worth of plate for my Lord to give Secretary Nicholas + Most of my time in looking upon Mrs. Butler + My new silk suit, the first that ever I wore in my life + Offer me L500 if I would desist from the Clerk of the Acts place + Sceptic in all things of religion + She had six children by the King + Strange how civil and tractable he was to me + The ceremonies did not please me, they do so overdo them + This afternoon I showed my Lord my accounts, which he passed + To see the bride put to bed + We cannot tell what to do for want of her (the maid) + Where I find the worst very good + Which I did give him some hope of, though I never intend it + Woman that they have a fancy to, to make her husband a cuckold + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Diary of Samuel Pepys, June/July 1660 +by Samuel Pepys + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, *** + +***** This file should be named 4122.txt or 4122.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/2/4122/ + +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.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

Among other +things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other +intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged +disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer +codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. + +LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES +But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below, +[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may +receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims +all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including +legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR +UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, +INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE +OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + +If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of +receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) +you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that +time to the person you received it from.

WHEATLEY F.S.A. + + + + DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS. + JUNE & JULY + 1660 + + +June 1st. This morning Mr. Sheply disposed of the money that the Duke of +York did give my Lord's servants, 22 ducatoons 3 came to my share, +whereof he told me to give Jaspar something because my Lord left him out. + + [Foreign coins were in frequent use at this time. A Proclamation, + January 29th, 1660-61, declared certain foreign gold and silver + coins to be current at certain rates. The rate of the ducatoon was + at 5s. 9d.] + +I did give Mr. Sheply the fine pair of buckskin gloves that I bought +myself about five years ago. My Lord took physic to-day, and so come not +out all day. The Captain on shore all day. After dinner Captain +Jefferys and W. Howe, and the Lieutenant and I to ninepins, where I lost +about two shillings and so fooled away all the afternoon. At night Mr. +Cooke comes from London with letters, leaving all things there very +gallant and joyful. And brought us word that the Parliament had ordered +the 29th of May, the King's birthday, to be for ever kept as a day of +thanksgiving for our redemption from tyranny, and the King's return to +his Government, he entering London that day. My wife was in London when +he came thither, and had been there a week with Mr. Bowyer and his wife. +My poor wife has not been well a week before, but thanks be to God is +well again. She would fain see me and be at her house again, but we must +be content. She writes word how the Joyces grow very rich and very +proud, but it is no matter, and that there was a talk that I should be +knighted by the King, which they (the Joyces) laugh at; but I think +myself happier in my wife and estate than they are in theirs. To bed. +The Captain come on board, when I was going to bed, quite fuddled; and +himself the next morning told me so too, that the Vice-Admiral, Rear- +Admiral, and he had been drinking all day. + + + +2d. Being with my Lord in the morning about business in his cabin, I +took occasion to give him thanks for his love to me in the share that he +had given me of his Majesty's money, and the Duke's. He told the he +hoped to do me a more lasting kindness, if all things stand as they are +now between him and the King, but, says he, "We must have a little +patience and we will rise together; in the mean time I will do you all +the good jobs I can." Which was great content for me to hear from my +Lord. All the morning with the Captain, computing how much the thirty +ships that come with the King from Scheveling their pay comes to for a +month (because the King promised to give them all a month's pay), and it +comes to L6,538, and the Charles particularly L777. I wish we had the +money. All the afternoon with two or three captains in the Captain's +cabin, drinking of white wine and sugar, and eating pickled oysters, +where Captain Sparling told us the best story that ever I heard, about a +gentleman that persuaded a country fool to let him gut his oysters or +else they would stink. At night writing letters to London and Weymouth, +for my Lord being now to sit in the House of Peers he endeavours to get +Mr. Edward Montagu for Weymouth and Mr. George for Dover. Mr. Cooke late +with me in my cabin while I wrote to my wife, and drank a bottle of wine +and so took leave of me on his journey and I to bed. + + + +3d. Waked in the morning by one who when I asked who it was, he told me +one from Bridewell, which proved Captain Holland. I rose presently to +him. He is come to get an order for the setting out of his ship, and to +renew his commission. He tells me how every man goes to the Lord Mayor +to set down their names, as such as do accept of his Majesty's pardon, +and showed me a certificate under the Lord Mayor's hand that he had done +so. + +At sermon in the morning; after dinner into my cabin, to cast my accounts +up, and find myself to be worth near L100, for which I bless Almighty +God, it being more than I hoped for so soon, being I believe not clearly +worth L25 when I came to sea besides my house and goods. Then to set my +papers in order, they being increased much upon my hands through want of +time to put them in order. The ship's company all this while at sermon. +After sermon my Lord did give me instruction to write to London about +business, which done, after supper to bed. + + + +4th. Waked in the morning at four o'clock to give some money to Mr. +Hetly, who was to go to London with the letters that I wrote yesterday +night. After he was gone I went and lay down in my gown upon my bed +again an hour or two. At last waked by a messenger come for a Post +Warrant for Mr. Hetly and Mr. Creed, who stood to give so little for +their horses that the men would not let them have any without a warrant, +which I sent them. All the morning getting Captain Holland's commission +done, which I did, and he at noon went away. I took my leave of him upon +the quarter-deck with a bottle of sack, my Lord being just set down to +dinner. Then he being gone I went to dinner and after dinner to my cabin +to write. This afternoon I showed my Lord my accounts, which he passed, +and so I think myself to be worth near L100 now. In the evening I made +an order for Captain Sparling of the Assistance to go to Middleburgh, to +fetch over some of the King's goods. I took the opportunity to send all +my Dutch money, 70 ducatoons and 29 gold ducats to be changed, if he can, +for English money, which is the first venture that ever I made, and so I +have been since a little afeard of it. After supper some music and so to +bed. This morning the King's Proclamation against drinking, swearing, +and debauchery, was read to our ships' companies in the fleet, and indeed +it gives great satisfaction to all. + + [The King's "Proclamation against vicious, debauched, and prophane + Persons" is dated May 30th. It is printed in "Somers's Tracts," ed. + 1812, vol. vii. p. 423.] + + + +5th. A-bed late. In the morning my Lord went on shore with the Vice- +Admiral a-fishing, and at dinner returned. In the afternoon I played at +ninepins with my Lord, and when he went in again I got him to sign my +accounts for L115, and so upon my private balance I find myself confirmed +in my estimation that I am worth L100. In the evening in my cabin a +great while getting the song without book, "Help, help Divinity, &c." +After supper my Lord called for the lieutenant's cittern, and with two +candlesticks with money in them for symballs, we made barber's music, + + [In the "Notices of Popular Histories," printed for the Percy + Society, there is a curious woodcut representing the interior of a + barber's shop, in which, according to the old custom, the person + waiting to be shaved is playing on the "ghittern" till his turn + arrives. Decker also mentions a "barber's cittern," for every + serving-man to play upon. This is no doubt "the barber's music" + with which Lord Sandwich entertained himself.--B.] + +with which my Lord was well pleased. So to bed. + + + +6th. In the morning I had letters come, that told me among other things, +that my Lord's place of Clerk of the Signet was fallen to him, which he +did most lovingly tell me that I should execute, in case he could not get +a better employment for me at the end of the year. Because he thought +that the Duke of York would command all, but he hoped that the Duke would +not remove me but to my advantage. + +I had a great deal of talk about my uncle Robert, + + [Robert Pepys of Brampton, eldest son of Thomas Pepys the red, and + brother of Samuel's father.] + +and he told me that he could not tell how his mind stood as to his +estate, but he would do all that lay in his power for me. After dinner +came Mr. Gooke from London, who told me that my wife he left well at +Huntsmore, though her health not altogether so constant as it used to be, +which my heart is troubled for. Mr. Moore's letters tell me that he +thinks my Lord will be suddenly sent for up to London, and so I got +myself in readiness to go. + +My letters tell me, that Mr. Calamy + + [Edmund Calamy, D.D., the celebrated Nonconformist divine, born + February, 1600, appointed Chaplain to Charles II., 1660. He refused + the bishopric of Lichfield which was offered to him. Died October + 29th, 1666.] + +had preached before the King in a surplice (this I heard afterwards to be +false); that my Lord, Gen. Monk, and three more Lords, are made +Commissioners for the Treasury; + + [The names of the Commissioners were--Sir Edward Hyde, afterwards + Earl of Clarendon, General Monk, Thomas, Earl of Southampton, John, + Lord Robartes, Thomas, Lord Colepeper, Sir Edward Montagu, with Sir + Edward Nicholas and Sir William Morrice as principal Secretaries of + State. The patents are dated June 19th, 1660.] + +that my Lord had some great place conferred on him, and they say Master +of the Wardrobe; + + [The duty of the Master of the Wardrobe was to provide "proper + furniture for coronations, marriages, and funerals" of the sovereign + and royal family, "cloaths of state, beds, hangings, and other + necessaries for the houses of foreign ambassadors, cloaths of state + for Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Prince of Wales, and ambassadors + abroad," as also to provide robes for Ministers of State, Knights of + the Garter, &c. The last Master of the Wardrobe was Ralph, Duke of + Montague, who died 1709.] + +that the two Dukes--[Duke of York and Duke of Gloucester.]--do haunt the +Park much, and that they were at a play, Madam Epicene,--["Epicene, or +the Silent Woman," a comedy, by Ben Jonson.]--the other day; that Sir. +Ant. Cooper, Mr. Hollis, and Mr. Annesly,& late President of the Council +of State, are made Privy Councillors to the King. At night very busy +sending Mr. Donne away to London, and wrote to my father for a coat to be +made me against I come to London, which I think will not be long. At +night Mr. Edward Montagu came on board and staid long up with my Lord. +I to bed and about one in the morning, + + + +7th. W. Howe called me up to give him a letter to carry to my Lord that +came to me to-day, which I did and so to, sleep again. About three in +the morning the people began to wash the deck, and the water came pouring +into my mouth, which waked me, and I was fain to rise and get on my gown, +and sleep leaning on my table. This morning Mr. Montagu went away again. +After dinner come Mr. John Wright and Mr. Moore, with the sight of whom +my heart was very glad. They brought an order for my Lord's coming up to +London, which my Lord resolved to do tomorrow. All the afternoon getting +my things in order to set forth to-morrow. At night walked up and down +with Mr. Moore, who did give me an account of all things at London. +Among others, how the Presbyterians would be angry if they durst, but +they will not be able to do any thing. Most of the Commanders on board +and supped with my Lord. Late at night came Mr. Edw. Pickering from +London, but I could not see him this night.

Meeting with +Captain Stoakes at Whitehall, I dined with him and Mr. Gullop, a parson +(with whom afterwards I was much offended at his importunity and +impertinence, such another as Elborough), + + [Thomas Elborough was one of Pepys's schoolfellows, and afterwards + curate of St. Lawrence Poultney.] + +and Mr. Butler, who complimented much after the same manner as the parson +did.

I did give them a good morning draught, and so +to my Lord (who lay long in bed this day, because he came home late from +supper with the King).

Captain Curle, late of the +Maria, gave me five pieces in gold and a silver can for my wife for the +Commission I did give him this day for his ship, dated April 20, 1660 +last. Thence to the Parliament door and came to Mr. Crew's to dinner +with my Lord, and with my Lord to see the great Wardrobe, where Mr. +Townsend brought us to the governor of some poor children in tawny +clothes; who had been maintained there these eleven years, which put my +Lord to a stand how to dispose of them, that he may have the house for +his use. The children did sing finely, and my Lord did bid me give them +five pieces in gold at his going away. Thence back to White Hall, where, +the King being gone abroad, my Lord and I walked a great while +discoursing of the simplicity of the Protector, in his losing all that +his father had left him. My Lord told me, that the last words that he +parted with the Protector with (when he went to the Sound), were, that he +should rejoice more to see him in his grave at his return home, than that +he should give way to such things as were then in hatching, and +afterwards did ruin him: and the Protector said, that whatever +G. Montagu, my Lord Broghill, Jones, and the Secretary, would have him +to do, he would do it, be it what it would. Thence to my wife, meeting +Mr. Blagrave, who went home with me, and did give me a lesson upon the +flageolet, and handselled my silver can with my wife and me. To my +father's, where Sir Thomas Honeywood and his family were come of a +sudden, and so we forced to lie all together in a little chamber, three +stories high. + + + +22d. To my Lord, where much business. With him to White Hall, where the +Duke of York not being up, we walked a good while in the Shield Gallery. +Mr. Hill (who for these two or three days hath constantly attended my +Lord) told me of an offer of L500 for a Baronet's dignity, which I told +my Lord of in the balcone in this gallery, and he said he would think of +it. I to my Lord's and gave order for horses to be got to draw my Lord's +great coach to Mr. Crew's. Mr. Morrice the upholsterer came himself +to-day to take notice what furniture we lack for our lodgings at +Whitehall. My dear friend Mr. Fuller of Twickenham and I dined alone at +the Sun Tavern, where he told me how he had the grant of being Dean of +St. Patrick's, in Ireland; and I told him my condition, and both rejoiced +one for another. Thence to my Lord's, and had the great coach to +Brigham's, who went with me to the Half Moon, and gave me a can of good +julep, and told me how my Lady Monk deals with him and others for their +places, asking him L500, though he was formerly the King's coach-maker, +and sworn to it. My Lord abroad, and I to my house and set things in a +little order there. So with Mr. Moore to my father's, I staying with +Mrs. Turner who stood at her door as I passed. Among other things she +told me for certain how my old Lady Middlesex ---- herself the other day +in the presence of the King, and people took notice of it. Thence called +at my father's, and so to Mr. Crew's, where Mr. Hetley had sent a letter +for me, and two pair of silk stockings, one for W. Howe, and the other +for me. To Sir H. Wright's to my Lord, where he, was, and took direction +about business, and so by link home about 11 o'clock. To bed, the first +time since my coming from sea, in my own house, for which God be praised. + + + +23d. By water with Mr. Hill towards my Lord's lodging and so to my Lord. +With him to Whitehall, where I left him and went to Mr. Holmes to deliver +him the horse of Dixwell's that had staid there fourteen days at the +Bell. So to my Lord's lodgings, where Tom Guy came to me, and there +staid to see the King touch people for the King's evil. But he did not +come at all, it rayned so; and the poor people were forced to stand all +the morning in the rain in the garden. Afterward he touched them in the +Banquetting-house. + + [This ceremony is usually traced to Edward the Confessor, but there + is no direct evidence of the early Norman kings having touched for + the evil. Sir John Fortescue, in his defence of the House of + Lancaster against that of York, argued that the crown could not + descend to a female, because the Queen is not qualified by the form + of anointing her, used at the coronation, to cure the disease called + the King's evil. Burn asserts, "History of Parish Registers," 1862, + p. 179, that "between 1660 and 1682, 92,107 persons were touched for + the evil." Everyone coming to the court for that purpose, brought a + certificate signed by the minister and churchwardens, that he had + not at any time been touched by His Majesty. The practice was + supposed to have expired with the Stuarts, but the point being + disputed, reference was made to the library of the Duke of Sussex, + and four several Oxford editions of the Book of Common Prayer were + found, all printed after the accession of the house of Hanover, and + all containing, as an integral part of the service, "The Office for + the Healing." The stamp of gold with which the King crossed the + sore of the sick person was called an angel, and of the value of ten + shillings. It had a hole bored through it, through which a ribbon + was drawn, and the angel was hanged about the patient's neck till + the cure was perfected. The stamp has the impression of St. Michael + the Archangel on one side, and a ship in full sail on the other. + "My Lord Anglesey had a daughter cured of the King's evil with three + others on Tuesday."--MS. Letter of William Greenhill to Lady Bacon, + dated December 31st, 1629, preserved at Audley End. Charles II. + "touched" before he came to the throne. "It is certain that the + King hath very often touched the sick, as well at Breda, where he + touched 260 from Saturday the 17 of April to Sunday the 23 of May, + as at Bruges and Bruxels, during the residence he made there; and + the English assure . . . it was not without success, since it was + the experience that drew thither every day, a great number of those + diseased even from the most remote provinces of Germany."--Sir + William Lower's Relation of the Voiage and Residence which Charles + the II. hath made in Holland, Hague, 1660, p. 78.

Where he +told me that he had obtained a promise of the Clerk of the Acts place for +me, at which I was glad. Met with Mr. Chetwind, and dined with him at +Hargrave's, the Cornchandler, in St. Martin's Lane, where a good dinner, +where he showed me some good pictures, and an instrument he called an +Angelique. + + [An angelique is described as a species of guitar in Murray's "New + English Dictionary," and this passage from the Diary is given as a + quotation.

Drank my morning draft at Harper's, and bought a pair of +gloves there. So to Mr. G. Montagu, and told him what I had received +from Dover, about his business likely to be chosen there.

In the afternoon to Mr. Mossum's with Mr. Moore, +and we sat in Mr. Butler's pew. Then to Whitehall looking for my Lord +but in vain, and back again to Mr. Crew's where I found him and did give +him letters. Among others some simple ones from our Lieutenant, Lieut. +Lambert to him and myself, which made Mr. Crew and us all laugh. I went +to my father's to tell him that I would not come to supper, and so after +my business done at Mr. Crew's I went home and my wife within a little +while after me, my mind all this while full of thoughts for my place of +Clerk of the Acts. + + + +25th. With my Lord at White Hall, all the morning. I spoke with Mr. +Coventry about my business, who promised me all the assistance I could +expect.

There came a +letter from my Lady Monk to my Lord about it this evening, but he refused +to come to her, but meeting in White Hall, with Sir Thomas Clarges, her +brother, my Lord returned answer, that he could not desist in my +business; and that he believed that General Monk would take it ill if my +Lord should name the officers in his army; and therefore he desired to +have the naming of one officer in the fleet. With my Lord by coach to +Mr. Crew's, and very merry by the way, discoursing of the late changes +and his good fortune. Thence home, and then with my wife to Dorset +House, to deliver a list of the names of the justices of the peace for +Huntingdonshire. By coach, taking Mr. Fox part of the way with me, that +was with us with the King on board the Nazeby, who I found to have +married Mrs. Whittle, that lived at Mr. Geer's so long. A very civil +gentleman. At Dorset House I met with Mr. Kipps, my old friend, with +whom the world is well changed, he being now sealbearer to the Lord +Chancellor, at which my wife and I are well pleased, he being a very good +natured man. Home and late writing letters. Then to my Lord's lodging, +this being the first night of his coming to Whitehall to lie since his +coming from sea. + + + +26th. My Lord dined at his lodgings all alone to-day. I went to +Secretary Nicholas + + [Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State to Charles I. and II. + He was dismissed from his office through the intrigues of Lady + Castlemaine in 1663.

In the +afternoon, one Mr. Watts came to me, a merchant, to offer me L500 if I +would desist from the Clerk of the Acts place. I pray God direct me in +what I do herein. Went to my house, where I found my father, and carried +him and my wife to Whitefriars, and myself to Puddlewharf, to the +Wardrobe, to Mr. Townsend, who went with me to Backwell, the goldsmith's, +and there we chose L100 worth of plate for my Lord to give Secretary +Nicholas. Back and staid at my father's, and so home to bed. + + + +27th. With my Lord to the Duke, where he spoke to Mr. Coventry to +despatch my business of the Acts, in which place every body gives me joy, +as if I were in it, which God send. + + [The letters patent, dated July 13th, 12 Charles II., recite and + revoke letters patent of February 16th, 14 Charles I., whereby the + office of Clerk of the Ships had been given to Dennis Fleming and + Thomas Barlow, or the survivor.

To +Westminster, and with Mr. Howe by coach to the Speaker's, where my Lord +supped with the King, but I could not get in. So back again, and after a +song or two in my chamber in the dark, which do (now that the bed is out) +sound very well, I went home and to bed. + + + +28th. My brother Tom came to me with patterns to choose for a suit. I +paid him all to this day, and did give him L10 upon account. To Mr. +Coventry, who told me that he would do me all right in my business. To +Sir G. Downing, the first visit I have made him since he came. He is so +stingy a fellow I care not to see him; I quite cleared myself of his +office, and did give him liberty to take any body in. Hawly and he are +parted too, he is going to serve Sir Thos.

I did +invite her to go to dinner with me and my wife to-day. After all this to +my Lord, who lay a-bed till eleven o'clock, it being almost five before +he went to bed, they supped so late last night with the King. This +morning I saw poor Bishop Wren + + [Matthew Wren, born 1585, successively Bishop of Hereford, Norwich, + and Ely. At the commencement of the Rebellion he was sent to the + Tower, and remained a prisoner there eighteen years.

After my Lord was awake, I went up to him to the +Nursery, where he do lie, and, having talked with him a little, I took +leave and carried my wife and Mrs. Pierce to Clothworkers'-Hall, to +dinner, where Mr. Pierce, the Purser, met us. We were invited by Mr. +Chaplin, the Victualler, where Nich. Osborne was. Our entertainment very +good, a brave hall, good company, and very good music. Where among other +things I was pleased that I could find out a man by his voice, whom I had +never seen before, to be one that sang behind the curtaine formerly at +Sir W. Davenant's opera. Here Dr. Gauden and Mr. Gauden the victualler +dined with us. After dinner to Mr. Rawlinson's, + + [Daniel Rawlinson kept the Mitre in Fenchurch Street, and there is a + farthing token of his extant, "At the Mitetr in Fenchurch Streete, + D. M. R."

Home and to my Lord, who +supped within, and Mr. E. Montagu, Mr. Thos. Crew, and others with him +sat up late. I home and to bed. + + + +29th. This day or two my maid Jane--[Jane Wayneman.]--has been lame, +that we cannot tell what to do for want of her. Up and to White Hall, +where I got my warrant from the Duke to be Clerk of the Acts. Also I got +my Lord's warrant from the Secretary for his honour of Earle of +Portsmouth, and Viscount Montagu of Hinchingbroke. So to my Lord, to +give him an account of what I had done. Then to Sir Geffery Palmer, to +give them to him to have bills drawn upon them, who told me that my Lord +must have some good Latinist to make the preamble to his Patent, which +must express his late service in the best terms that he can, and he told +me in what high flaunting terms Sir J. Greenville had caused his to be +done, which he do not like; but that Sir Richard Fanshawe had done +General Monk's very well. Back to Westminster, and meeting Mr. Townsend +in the Palace, he and I and another or two went and dined at the Leg +there. Then to White Hall, where I was told by Mr. Hutchinson at the +Admiralty, that Mr. Barlow, my predecessor, Clerk of the Acts, is yet +alive, and coming up to town to look after his place, which made my heart +sad a little. At night told my Lord thereof, and he bade me get +possession of my Patent; and he would do all that could be done to keep +him out. This night my Lord and I looked over the list of the Captains,. +and marked some that my Lord had a mind to have put out. Home and to +bed. Our wench very lame, abed these two days. + + + +30th. By times to Sir R. Fanshawe to draw up the preamble to my Lord's +Patent. So to my Lord, and with him to White Hall, where I saw a great +many fine antique heads of marble, that my Lord Northumberland had given +the King. Here meeting with Mr. De Cretz, he looked over many of the +pieces, in the gallery with me and told me [by] whose hands they were, +with great pleasure. Dined at home and Mr. Hawly with me upon six of my +pigeons, which my wife has resolved to kill here. This day came Will, + + [William Wayneman was constantly getting into trouble, and Pepys had + to cane him. He was dismissed on July 7th, 1663.] + +my boy, to me; the wench continuing lame, so that my wife could not be +longer without somebody to help her. In the afternoon with Sir Edward +Walker, at his lodgings by St. Giles Church, for my Lord's pedigree, and +carried it to Sir R. Fanshawe. To Mr. Crew's, and there took money and +paid Mrs. Anne, Mrs. Jemima's maid, off quite, and so she went away and +another came to her. To White Hall with Mr. Moore, where I met with a +letter from Mr. Turner, offering me L150 to be joined with me in my +patent, and to advise me how to improve the advantage of my place, and to +keep off Barlow. To my Lord's till late at night, and so home. + + + + + + + DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS. + JULY + 1660 + + +July 1st. This morning came home my fine Camlett cloak, + + [Camlet was a mixed stuff of wool and silk. It was very expensive, + and later Pepys gave L24 for a suit. (See June 1st, 1664.)] + +with gold buttons, and a silk suit, which cost me much money, and I pray +God to make me able to pay for it. I went to the cook's and got a good +joint of meat, and my wife and I dined at home alone. In the afternoon +to the Abbey, where a good sermon by a stranger, but no Common Prayer +yet. After sermon called in at Mrs. Crisp's, where I saw Mynheer Roder, +that is to marry Sam Hartlib's sister, a great fortune for her to light +on, she being worth nothing in the world. Here I also saw Mrs. +Greenlife, who is come again to live in Axe Yard with her new husband +Mr. Adams. Then to my Lord's, where I staid a while. So to see for +Mr. Creed to speak about getting a copy of Barlow's patent. To my +Lord's, where late at night comes Mr. Morland, whom I left prating with +my Lord, and so home. + + + +2nd. Infinite of business that my heart and head and all were full. +Met with purser Washington, with whom and a lady, a friend of his, +I dined at the Bell Tavern in King Street, but the rogue had no more +manners than to invite me and to let me pay my club. All the afternoon +with my Lord, going up and down the town; at seven at night he went home, +and there the principal Officers of the Navy, + + [A list of the Officers of the Admiralty, May 31st, 1660.

We had order to meet to-morrow, +to draw up such an order of the Council as would put us into action +before our patents were passed. At which my heart was glad. At night +supped with my Lord, he and I together, in the great dining-room alone by +ourselves, the first time I ever did it in London. Home to bed, my maid +pretty well again. + + + +3d. All the morning the Officers and Commissioners of the Navy, we met +at Sir G. Carteret's + + [Sir George Carteret, born 1599, had originally been bred to the sea + service, and became Comptroller of the Navy to Charles I., and + Governor of Jersey, where he obtained considerable reputation by his + gallant defence of that island against the Parliament forces. At + the Restoration he was made Vice-Chamberlain to the King, Treasurer + of the Navy, and a Privy Councillor, and in 1661 he was elected M.P. + for Portsmouth. In 1666 he exchanged the Treasurership of the Navy + with the Earl of Anglesea for the Vice-Treasurership of Ireland. He + became a Commissioner of the Admiralty in 1673. He continued in + favour with Charles II. till his death, January 14th, 1679, in his + eightieth year. He married his cousin Elizabeth, daughter of Sir + Philip Carteret, Knight of St. Ouen, and had issue three sons and + five daughters.] + +chamber, and agreed upon orders for the Council to supersede the old +ones, and empower us to act. Dined with Mr. Stephens, the Treasurer's +man of the Navy, and Mr. Turner, to whom I offered L50 out of my own +purse for one year, and the benefit of a Clerk's allowance beside, which +he thanked me for; but I find he hath some design yet in his head, which +I could not think of. In the afternoon my heart was quite pulled down, +by being told that Mr. Barlow was to enquire to-day for Mr. Coventry; but +at night I met with my Lord, who told me that I need not fear, for he +would get me the place against the world. And when I came to W. Howe, he +told me that Dr. Petty had been with my Lord, and did tell him that +Barlow was a sickly man, and did not intend to execute the place himself, +which put me in great comfort again. Till 2 in the morning writing +letters and things for my Lord to send to sea. So home to my wife to +bed. + + + +4th. Up very early in the morning and landing my wife at White Friars +stairs, I went to the Bridge and so to the Treasurer's of the Navy, with +whom I spake about the business of my office, who put me into very good +hopes of my business. At his house comes Commissioner Pett, and he and I +went to view the houses in Seething Lane, belonging to the Navy, + + [The Navy Office was erected on the site of Lumley House, formerly + belonging to the Fratres Sancta Crucis (or Crutched Friars), and all + business connected with naval concerns was transacted there till its + removal to Somerset House.--The ground was afterwards occupied by + the East India Company's warehouses. The civil business of the + Admiralty was removed from Somerset House to Spring Gardens in + 1869.] + +where I find the worst very good, and had great fears in my mind that +they will shuffle me out of them, which troubles me. From thence to the +Excise Office in Broad Street, where I received L500 for my Lord, by +appointment of the Treasurer, and went afterwards down with Mr. Luddyard +and drank my morning draft with him and other officers. Thence to Mr. +Backewell's, the goldsmith, where I took my Lord's L100 in plate for Mr. +Secretary Nicholas, and my own piece of plate, being a state dish and cup +in chased work for Mr. Coventry, cost me above L19. Carried these and +the money by coach to my Lord's at White Hall, and from thence carried +Nicholas's plate to his house and left it there, intending to speak with +him anon. So to Westminster Hall, where meeting with M. L'Impertinent +and W. Bowyer, I took them to the Sun Tavern, and gave them a lobster and +some wine, and sat talking like a fool till 4 o'clock. So to my Lord's, +and walking all the afternoon in White Hall Court, in expectation of what +shall be done in the Council as to our business. It was strange to see +how all the people flocked together bare, to see the King looking out of +the Council window. At night my Lord told me how my orders that I drew +last night about giving us power to act, are granted by the Council. At +which he and I were very glad. Home and to bed, my boy lying in my house +this night the first time. + + + +5th. This morning my brother Tom brought me my jackanapes coat with +silver buttons. It rained this morning, which makes us fear that the +glory of this great day will be lost; the King and Parliament being to be +entertained by the City to-day with great pomp. + + ["July 5th. His Majesty, the two Dukes, the House of Lords, and the + House of Commons, and the Privy Council, dined at the Guildhall. + Every Hall appeared with their colours and streamers to attend His + Majesty; the Masters in gold chains. Twelve pageants in the streets + between Temple Bar and Guildhall. Forty brace of bucks were that + day spent in the City of London."--Rugge's Diurnal.--B.] + +Mr. Hater' was with me to-day, and I agreed with him to be my clerk. + + [Thomas Hayter. He remained with Pepys for some time; and by his + assistance was made Petty Purveyor of Petty Missions. He succeeded + Pepys as Clerk of the Acts in 1673, and in 1679 he was Secretary of + the Admiralty, and Comptroller of the Navy from 1680 to 1682.] + +Being at White Hall, I saw the King, the Dukes, and all their attendants +go forth in the rain to the City, and it bedraggled many a fine suit of +clothes. I was forced to walk all the morning in White Hall, not knowing +how to get out because of the rain. Met with Mr. Cooling, my Lord +Chamberlain's secretary, who took me to dinner among the gentlemen +waiters, and after dinner into the wine-cellar. He told me how he had a +project for all us Secretaries to join together, and get money by +bringing all business into our hands. Thence to the Admiralty, where Mr. +Blackburne and I (it beginning to hold up) went and walked an hour or two +in the Park, he giving of me light in many things in my way in this +office that I go about. And in the evening I got my present of plate +carried to Mr. Coventry's. At my Lord's at night comes Dr. Petty to me, +to tell me that Barlow had come to town, and other things, which put me +into a despair, and I went to bed very sad. + + + +6th. In the morning with my Lord at Whitehall, got the order of the +Council for us to act. From thence to Westminster Hall, and there met +with the Doctor that shewed us so much kindness at the Hague, and took +him to the Sun tavern, and drank with him. So to my Lord's and dined +with W. Howe and Sarah, thinking it might be the last time that I might +dine with them together. In the afternoon my Lord and I, and Mr. +Coventry and Sir G. Carteret, went and took possession of the Navy +Office, whereby my mind was a little cheered, but my hopes not great. +From thence Sir G. Carteret and I to the Treasurer's Office, where he set +some things in order. And so home, calling upon Sir Geoffry Palmer, who +did give me advice about my patent, which put me to some doubt to know +what to do, Barlow being alive. Afterwards called at Mr. Pim's, about +getting me a coat of velvet, and he took me to the Half Moon, and the +house so full that we staid above half an hour before we could get +anything. So to my Lord's, where in the dark W. Howe and I did sing +extemporys, and I find by use that we are able to sing a bass and a +treble pretty well. So home, and to bed. + + + +7th. To my Lord, one with me to buy a Clerk's place, and I did demand +L100. To the Council Chamber, where I took an order for the advance of +the salaries of the officers of the Navy, and I find mine to be raised to +L350 per annum. Thence to the Change, where I bought two fine prints of +Ragotti from Rubens, and afterwards dined with my Uncle and Aunt Wight, +where her sister Cox and her husband were. After that to Mr. Rawlinson's +with my uncle, and thence to the Navy Office, where I began to take an +inventory of the papers, and goods, and books of the office. To my +Lord's, late writing letters. So home to bed. + + + +8th (Lord's day). To White Hall chapel, where I got in with ease by +going before the Lord Chancellor with Mr. Kipps. Here I heard very good +music, the first time that ever I remember to have heard the organs and +singing-men in surplices in my life. + + [During the Commonwealth organs were destroyed all over the country, + and the following is the title of the Ordinances under which this + destruction took place: "Two Ordinances of the Lords and Commons + assembled in Parliament, for the speedy demolishing of all organs, + images, and all matters of superstitious monuments in all Cathedrals + and Collegiate or Parish Churches and Chapels throughout the Kingdom + of England and the dominion of Wales; the better to accomplish the + blessed reformation so happily begun, and to remove all offences and + things illegal in the worship of God. Dated May 9th, 1644." When + at the period of the Restoration music again obtained its proper + place in the services of the Church, there was much work for the + organ builders. According to Dr. Rimbault ("Hopkins on the Organ," + 1855, p. 74), it was more than fifty years after the Restoration + when our parish churches began commonly to be supplied with organs. + Drake says, in his "Eboracum" (published in 1733), that at that date + only one parish church in the city of York possessed an organ. + Bernard Schmidt, better known as "Father Smith," came to England + from Germany at the time of the Restoration, and he it was who built + the organ at the Chapel Royal. He was in high favour with Charles + II., who allowed, him apartments in Whitehall Palace.] + +The Bishop of Chichester preached before the King, and made a great +flattering sermon, which I did not like that Clergy should meddle with +matters of state. Dined with Mr. Luellin and Salisbury at a cook's shop. +Home, and staid all the afternoon with my wife till after sermon. There +till Mr. Fairebrother came to call us out to my father's to supper. He +told me how he had perfectly procured me to be made Master in Arts by +proxy, which did somewhat please me, though I remember my cousin Roger +Pepys was the other day persuading me from it. While we were at supper +came Win. Howe to supper to us, and after supper went home to bed. + + + +9th. All the morning at Sir G. Palmer's advising about getting my bill +drawn. From thence to the Navy office, where in the afternoon we met and +sat, and there I begun to sign bills in the Office the first time. From +thence Captain Holland and Mr. Browne of Harwich took me to a tavern and +did give me a collation. From thence to the Temple to further my bills +being done, and so home to my Lord, and thence to bed. + + + +10th. This day I put on first my new silk suit, the first that ever I +wore in my life. This morning came Nan Pepys' husband Mr. Hall to see me +being lately come to town. I had never seen him before. I took him to +the Swan tavern with Mr. Eglin and there drank our morning draft. Home, +and called my wife, and took her to Dr. Clodius's to a great wedding of +Nan Hartlib to Mynheer Roder, which was kept at Goring House with very +great state, cost, and noble company. But, among all the beauties there, +my wife was thought the greatest. After dinner I left the company, and +carried my wife to Mrs. Turner's. I went to the Attorney-General's, and +had my bill which cost me seven pieces. I called my wife, and set her +home. And finding my Lord in White Hall garden, I got him to go to the +Secretary's, which he did, and desired the dispatch of his and my bills +to be signed by the King. His bill is to be Earl of Sandwich, Viscount +Hinchingbroke, and Baron of St. Neot's. + + [The motive for Sir Edward Montagu's so suddenly altering his + intended title is not explained; probably, the change was adopted as + a compliment to the town of Sandwich, off which the Fleet was lying + before it sailed to bring Charles from Scheveling. Montagu had also + received marked attentions from Sir John Boys and other principal + men at Sandwich; and it may be recollected, as an additional reason, + that one or both of the seats for that borough have usually been + placed at the disposal of the Admiralty. The title of Portsmouth + was given, in 1673, for her life, to the celebrated Louise de + Querouaille, and becoming extinct with her, was, in 1743, conferred + upon John Wallop, Viscount Lymington, the ancestor of the present + Earl of Portsmouth.--B.] + +Home, with my mind pretty quiet: not returning, as I said I would, to see +the bride put to bed. + + + +11th. With Sir W. Pen by water to the Navy office, where we met, and +dispatched business. And that being done, we went all to dinner to the +Dolphin, upon Major Brown's invitation. After that to the office again, +where I was vexed, and so was Commissioner Pett, to see a busy fellow +come to look out the best lodgings for my Lord Barkley, and the combining +between him and Sir W. Pen; and, indeed, was troubled much at it. Home +to White Hall, and took out my bill signed by the King, and carried it to +Mr. Watkins of the Privy Seal to be despatched there, and going home to +take a cap, I borrowed a pair of sheets of Mr. Howe, and by coach went to +the Navy office, and lay (Mr. Hater, my clerk, with me) at Commissioner +Willoughby's' house, where I was received by him very civilly and slept +well. + + + +12th. Up early and by coach to White Hall with Commissioner Pett, where, +after we had talked with my Lord, I went to the Privy Seal and got my +bill perfected there, and at the Signet: and then to the House of Lords, +and met with Mr. Kipps, who directed me to Mr. Beale to get my patent +engrossed; but he not having time to get it done in Chancery-hand, I was +forced to run all up and down Chancery-lane, and the Six Clerks' Office + + [The Six Clerks' Office was in Chancery Lane, near the Holborn end. + The business of the office was to enrol commissions, pardons, + patents, warrants, &c., that had passed the Great Seal; also other + business in Chancery. In the early history of the Court of + Chancery, the Six Clerks and their under-clerks appear to have acted + as the attorneys of the suitors. As business increased, these + under-clerks became a distinct body, and were recognized by the + court under the denomination of 'sworn clerks,' or 'clerks in + court.' The advance of commerce, with its consequent accession of + wealth, so multiplied the subjects requiring the judgment of a Court + of Equity, that the limits of a public office were found wholly + inadequate to supply a sufficient number of officers to conduct the + business of the suitors. Hence originated the 'Solicitors' of the + Court of Chancery." See Smith's "Chancery Practice," p. 62, 3rd + edit. The "Six Clerks" were abolished by act of Parliament, + 5 Vict. c. 5.] + +but could find none that could write the hand, that were at leisure. And +so in a despair went to the Admiralty, where we met the first time there, +my Lord Montagu, my Lord Barkley, Mr. Coventry, and all the rest of the +principal Officers and Commissioners, [except] only the Controller, who +is not yet chosen. At night to Mr. Kipps's lodgings, but not finding +him, I went to Mr. Spong's and there I found him and got him to come to +me to my Lord's lodgings at 11 o'clock of night, when I got him to take +my bill to write it himself (which was a great providence that he could +do it) against to-morrow morning. I late writing letters to sea by the +post, and so home to bed. In great trouble because I heard at Mr. +Beale's to-day that Barlow had been there and said that he would make a +stop in the business. + + + +13th. Up early, the first day that I put on my black camlett coat with +silver buttons. To Mr. Spong, whom I found in his night-down writing of +my patent, and he had done as far as he could "for that &c." by +8 o'clock. It being done, we carried it to Worcester House to the +Chancellor, where Mr. Kipps (a strange providence that he should now be +in a condition to do me a kindness, which I never thought him capable of +doing for me), got me the Chancellor's recepi to my bill; and so carried +it to Mr. Beale for a dockett; but he was very angry, and unwilling to do +it, because he said it was ill writ (because I had got it writ by another +hand, and not by him); but by much importunity I got Mr. Spong to go to +his office and make an end of my patent; and in the mean time Mr. Beale +to be preparing my dockett, which being done, I did give him two pieces, +after which it was strange how civil and tractable he was to me. From +thence I went to the Navy office, where we despatched much business, and +resolved of the houses for the Officers and Commissioners, which I was +glad of, and I got leave to have a door made me into the leads. From +thence, much troubled in mind about my patent, I went to Mr. Beale again, +who had now finished my patent and made it ready for the Seal, about an +hour after I went to meet him at the Chancellor's. So I went away +towards Westminster, and in my way met with Mr. Spong, and went with him +to Mr. Lilly and ate some bread and cheese, and drank with him, who still +would be giving me council of getting my patent out, for fear of another +change, and my Lord Montagu's fall. After that to Worcester House, where +by Mr. Kipps's means, and my pressing in General Montagu's name to the +Chancellor, I did, beyond all expectation, get my seal passed; and while +it was doing in one room, I was forced to keep Sir G. Carteret (who by +chance met me there, ignorant of my business) in talk, while it was a +doing. Went home and brought my wife with me into London, and some +money, with which I paid Mr. Beale L9 in all, and took my patent of him +and went to my wife again, whom I had left in a coach at the door of +Hinde Court, and presented her with my patent at which she was overjoyed; +so to the Navy office, and showed her my house, and were both mightily +pleased at all things there, and so to my business. So home with her, +leaving her at her mother's door. I to my Lord's, where I dispatched an +order for a ship to fetch Sir R. Honywood home, for which I got two +pieces of my Lady Honywood by young Mr. Powell. Late writing letters; +and great doings of music at the next house, which was Whally's; the King +and Dukes there with Madame Palmer, + + [Barbara Villiers, only child of William, second Viscount Grandison, + born November, 1640, married April 14th, 1659, to Roger Palmer, + created Earl of Castlemaine, 1661. She became the King's mistress + soon after the Restoration, and was in 1670 made Baroness Nonsuch, + Countess of Southampton, and Duchess of Cleveland. She had six + children by the King, one of them being created Duke of Grafton, and + the eldest son succeeding her as Duke of Cleveland. She + subsequently married Beau Fielding, whom she prosecuted for bigamy. + She died October 9th, 1709, aged sixty-nine. Her life was written + by G. Steinman Steinman, and privately printed 1871, with addenda + 1874, and second addenda 1878.] + +a pretty woman that they have a fancy to, to make her husband a cuckold. +Here at the old door that did go into his lodgings, my Lord, I, and W. +Howe, did stand listening a great while to the music. After that home to +bed. This day I should have been at Guildhall to have borne witness for +my brother Hawly against Black Collar, but I could not, at which I was +troubled. To bed with the greatest quiet of mind that I have had a great +while, having ate nothing but a bit of bread and cheese at Lilly's +to-day, and a bit of bread and butter after I was a-bed. + + + +14th. Up early and advised with my wife for the putting of all our +things in a readiness to be sent to our new house. To my Lord's, where +he was in bed very late. So with Major Tollhurst and others to Harper's, +and I sent for my barrel of pickled oysters and there ate them; while we +were doing so, comes in Mr. Pagan Fisher; the poet, and promises me what +he had long ago done, a book in praise of the King of France, with my +armes, and a dedication to me very handsome. After him comes Mr. Sheply +come from sea yesterday, whom I was glad to see that he may ease me of +the trouble of my Lord's business. So to my Lord's, where I staid doing +his business and taking his commands. After that to Westminster Hall, +where I paid all my debts in order to my going away from hence. Here I +met with Mr. Eglin, who would needs take me to the Leg in King Street and +gave me a dish of meat to dinner; and so I sent for Mons. L'Impertinent, +where we sat long and were merry. After that parted, and I took Mr. +Butler [Mons. L'Impertinent] with me into London by coach and shewed him +my house at the Navy Office, and did give order for the laying in coals. +So into Fenchurch Street, and did give him a glass of wine at +Rawlinson's, and was trimmed [?? D.W.] in the street. So to my Lord's +late writing letters, and so home, where I found my wife had packed up +all her goods in the house fit for a removal. So to bed. + + + +15th. Lay long in bed to recover my rest. Going forth met with Mr. +Sheply, and went and drank my morning draft with him at Wilkinson's, +and my brother Spicer.--[Jack Spicer, brother clerk of the Privy Seal.]-- +After that to Westminster Abbey, and in Henry the Seventh's Chappell +heard part of a sermon, the first that ever I heard there. To my Lord's +and dined all alone at the table with him. After dinner he and I alone +fell to discourse, and I find him plainly to be a sceptic in all things +of religion, and to make no great matter of anything therein, but to be a +perfect Stoic. In the afternoon to Henry the Seventh's Chappell, where I +heard service and a sermon there, and after that meeting W. Bowyer there, +he and I to the Park, and walked a good while till night. So to Harper's +and drank together, and Captain Stokes came to us and so I fell into +discourse of buying paper at the first hand in my office, and the Captain +promised me to buy it for me in France. After that to my Lord's +lodgings, where I wrote some business and so home. My wife at home all +the day, she having no clothes out, all being packed up yesterday. For +this month I have wholly neglected anything of news, and so have beyond +belief been ignorant how things go, but now by my patent my mind is in +some quiet, which God keep. I was not at my father's to-day, I being +afraid to go for fear he should still solicit me to speak to my Lord for +a place in the Wardrobe, which I dare not do, because of my own business +yet. My wife and I mightily pleased with our new house that we hope to +have. My patent has cost me a great deal of money, about L40, which is +the only thing at present which do trouble me much. In the afternoon to +Henry the Seventh's chapel, where I heard a sermon and spent (God forgive +me) most of my time in looking upon Mrs. Butler. After that with W. +Bowyer to walk in the Park. Afterwards to my Lord's lodgings, and so +home to bed, having not been at my father's to-day. + + + +16th, This morning it proved very rainy weather so that I could not +remove my goods to my house. I to my office and did business there, and +so home, it being then sunrise, but by the time that I got to my house it +began to rain again, so that I could not carry my goods by cart as I +would have done. After that to my Lord's and so home and to bed. + + + +17th. This morning (as indeed all the mornings nowadays) much business +at my Lord's. There came to my house before I went out Mr. Barlow, an +old consumptive man, and fair conditioned, with whom I did discourse a +great while, and after much talk I did grant him what he asked, viz., L50 +per annum, if my salary be not increased, and (100 per annum, in case it +be to L350), at which he was very well pleased to be paid as I received my +money and not otherwise. Going to my Lord's I found my Lord had got a +great cold and kept his bed, and so I brought him to my Lord's bedside, +and he and I did agree together to this purpose what I should allow him. +That done and the day proving fair I went home and got all my goods +packed up and sent away, and my wife and I and Mrs. Hunt went by coach, +overtaking the carts a-drinking in the Strand. Being come to my house +and set in the goods, and at night sent my wife and Mrs. Hunt to buy +something for supper; they bought a Quarter of Lamb, and so we ate it, +but it was not half roasted. Will, Mr. Blackburne's nephew, is so +obedient, that I am greatly glad of him. At night he and I and Mrs. Hunt +home by water to Westminster. I to my Lord, and after having done some +business with him in his chamber in the Nursery, which has been now his +chamber since he came from sea, I went on foot with a linkboy to my home, +where I found my wife in bed and Jane washing the house, and Will the boy +sleeping, and a great deal of sport I had before I could wake him. I to +bed the first night that I ever lay here with my wife. + + + +18th. This morning the carpenter made an end of my door out of my +chamber upon the leads. + + [Jacques Casanova's narration of his escape from prison in Venice + refers to "under the leads" in the attic of the Palace of Doges. + (The roof being plates of lead.) Perhaps Pepys "door" was an access + to the roof? A few thousand pages may clear this. D.W.] + +This morning we met at the office: I dined at my house in Seething Lane, +and after that, going about 4 o'clock to Westminster, I met with Mr. +Carter and Mr. Cooke coming to see me in a coach, and so I returned home. +I did also meet with Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, with a porter with him, +with a barrel of Lemons, which my man Burr sends me from sea. I took all +these people home to my house and did give them some drink, and after +them comes Mr. Sheply, and after a little stay we all went by water to +Westminster as far as the New Exchange. Thence to my Lord about +business, and being in talk in comes one with half a buck from +Hinchinbroke, and it smelling a little strong my Lord did give it me +(though it was as good as any could be). I did carry it to my mother, +where I had not been a great while, and indeed had no great mind to go, +because my father did lay upon me continually to do him a kindness at the +Wardrobe, which I could not do because of my own business being so fresh +with my Lord. But my father was not at home, and so I did leave the +venison with her to dispose of as she pleased. After that home, +where W. Hewer now was, and did lie this night with us, the first night. +My mind very quiet, only a little trouble I have for the great debts +which I have still upon me to the Secretary, Mr. Kipps, and Mr. Spong for +my patent. + + + +19th. I did lie late a-bed. I and my wife by water, landed her at +Whitefriars with her boy with an iron of our new range which is already +broke and my wife will have changed, and many other things she has to buy +with the help of my father to-day. I to my Lord and found him in bed. +This day I received my commission to swear people the oath of allegiance +and supremacy delivered me by my Lord. After talk with my Lord I went to +Westminster Hall, where I took Mr. Michell and his wife, and Mrs. Murford +we sent for afterwards, to the Dog Tavern, where I did give them a dish +of anchovies and olives and paid for all, and did talk of our old +discourse when we did use to talk of the King, in the time of the Rump, +privately; after that to the Admiralty Office, in White Hall, where I +staid and writ my last observations for these four days last past. Great +talk of the difference between the Episcopal and Presbyterian Clergy, but +I believe it will come to nothing. So home and to bed. + + + +20th. We sat at the office this morning, Sir W. Batten and Mr. Pett +being upon a survey to Chatham. This morning I sent my wife to my +father's and he is to give me L5 worth of pewter. After we rose at the +office, I went to my father's, where my Uncle Fenner and all his crew and +Captain Holland and his wife and my wife were at dinner at a venison +pasty of the venison that I did give my mother the other day. I did this +time show so much coldness to W. Joyce that I believe all the table took +notice of it. After that to Westminster about my Lord's business and so +home, my Lord having not been well these two or three days, and I hear +that Mr. Barnwell at Hinchinbroke is fallen sick again. Home and to bed. + + + +21st. This morning Mr. Barlow had appointed for me to bring him what +form I would have the agreement between him and me to pass, which I did +to his lodgings at the Golden Eagle in the new street--[Still retains the +name New Street.]--between Fetter Lane and Shoe Lane, where he liked it +very well, and I from him went to get Mr. Spong to engross it in +duplicates. To my Lord and spoke to him about the business of the Privy +Seal for me to be sworn, though I got nothing by it, but to do Mr. Moore +a kindness, which he did give me a good answer to. Went to the Six +Clerks' office to Mr. Spong for the writings, and dined with him at a +club at the next door, where we had three voices to sing catches. So to +my house to write letters and so to Whitehall about business of my Lord's +concerning his creation,--[As Earl of Sandwich.]--and so home and to bed. + + + +22nd. Lord's day. All this last night it had rained hard. My brother +Tom came this morning the first time to see me, and I paid him all that I +owe my father to this day. Afterwards I went out and looked into several +churches, and so to my uncle Fenner's, whither my wife was got before me, +and we, my father and mother, and all the Joyces, and my aunt Bell, whom +I had not seen many a year before. After dinner to White Hall (my wife +to church with K. Joyce), where I find my Lord at home, and walked in the +garden with him, he showing me all the respect that can be. I left him +and went to walk in the Park, where great endeavouring to get into the +inward Park,--[This is still railed off from St. James's Park, and called +the Enclosure.]--but could not get in; one man was basted by the keeper, +for carrying some people over on his back through the water. Afterwards +to my Lord's, where I staid and drank with Mr. Sheply, having first sent +to get a pair of oars. It was the first time that ever I went by water +on the Lord's day. Home, and at night had a chapter read; and I read +prayers out of the Common Prayer Book, the first time that ever I read +prayers in this house. So to bed. + + + +23rd. This morning Mr. Barlow comes to me, and he and I went forth to a +scrivener in Fenchurch Street, whom we found sick of the gout in bed, and +signed and sealed our agreement before him. He urged to have these words +(in consideration whereof) to be interlined, which I granted, though +against my will. Met this morning at the office, and afterwards Mr. +Barlow by appointment came and dined with me, and both of us very +pleasant and pleased. After dinner to my Lord, who took me to Secretary +Nicholas, and there before him and Secretary Morris, my Lord and I upon +our knees together took our oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy; and the +Oath of the Privy Seal, of which I was much glad, though I am not likely +to get anything by it at present; but I do desire it, for fear of a turn- +out of our office. That done and my Lord gone from me, I went with Mr. +Cooling and his brother, and Sam Hartlibb, little Jennings and some +others to the King's Head Tavern at Charing Cross, where after drinking I +took boat and so home, where we supped merrily among ourselves (our +little boy proving a droll) and so after prayers to bed. This day my +Lord had heard that Mr. Barnwell was dead, but it is not so yet, though +he be very ill. I was troubled all this day with Mr. Cooke, being +willing to do him good, but my mind is so taken up with my own business +that I cannot. + + + +24th. To White Hall, where I did acquaint Mr. Watkins with my being +sworn into the Privy Seal, at which he was much troubled, but put it up +and did offer me a kinsman of his to be my clerk, which I did give him +some hope of, though I never intend it. In the afternoon I spent much +time in walking in White Hall Court with Mr. Bickerstaffe, who was very +glad of my Lord's being sworn, because of his business with his brother +Baron, which is referred to my Lord Chancellor, and to be ended +to-morrow. Baron had got a grant beyond sea, to come in before the +reversionary of the Privy Seal. This afternoon Mr. Mathews came to me, +to get a certificate of my Lord's and my being sworn, which I put in some +forwardness, and so home and to bed. + + + +25th. In the morning at the office, and after that down to Whitehall, +where I met with Mr. Creed, and with him and a Welsh schoolmaster, a good +scholar but a very pedagogue, to the ordinary at the Leg in King Street.' +I got my certificate of my Lord's and my being sworn. This morning my +Lord took leave of the House of Commons, and had the thanks of the House +for his great services to his country. In the afternoon (but this is a +mistake, for it was yesterday in the afternoon) Monsieur L'Impertinent +and I met and I took him to the Sun and drank with him, and in the +evening going away we met his mother and sisters and father coming from +the Gatehouse; where they lodge, where I did the first time salute them +all, and very pretty Madame Frances--[Frances Butler, the beauty.]-- is +indeed. After that very late home and called in Tower Street, and there +at a barber's was trimmed the first time. Home and to bed. + + + +26th. Early to White Hall, thinking to have a meeting of my Lord and the +principal officers, but my Lord could not, it being the day that he was +to go and be admitted in the House of Lords, his patent being done, which +he presented upon his knees to the Speaker; and so it was read in the +House, and he took his place. I at the Privy Seal Office with Mr. +Hooker, who brought me acquainted with Mr. Crofts of the Signet, and I +invited them to a dish of meat at the Leg in King Street, and so we dined +there and I paid for all and had very good light given me as to my +employment there. Afterwards to Mr. Pierces, where I should have dined +but I could not, but found Mr. Sheply and W. Howe there. After we had +drunk hard we parted, and I went away and met Dr. Castle, who is one of +the Clerks of the Privy Seal, and told him how things were with my Lord +and me, which he received very gladly. I was this day told how Baron +against all expectation and law has got the place of Bickerstaffe, and so +I question whether he will not lay claim to wait the next month, but my +Lord tells me that he will stand for it. In the evening I met with +T. Doling, who carried me to St. James's Fair, + + [August, 1661: "This year the Fair, called St. James's Fair, was + kept the full appointed time, being a fortnight; but during that + time many lewd and infamous persons were by his Majesty's express + command to the Lord Chamberlain, and his Lordship's direction to + Robert Nelson, Esq., committed to the House of Correction."--Rugge's + Diurnal. St; James's fair was held first in the open space near St. + James's Palace, and afterwards in St. James's Market. It was + prohibited by the Parliament in 1651, but revived at the + Restoration. It was, however, finally suppressed before the close + of the reign of Charles II.] + +and there meeting with W. Symons and his wife, and Luellin, and D. +Scobell's wife and cousin, we went to Wood's at the Pell Mell + + [This is one of the earliest references to Pall Mall as an inhabited + street, and also one of the earliest uses of the word clubbing.] + +(our old house for clubbing), and there we spent till 10 at night, at +which time I sent to my Lord's for my clerk Will to come to me, and so by +link home to bed. Where I found Commissioner Willoughby had sent for all +his things away out of my bedchamber, which is a little disappointment, +but it is better than pay too dear for them. + + + +27th: The last night Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen came to their houses at +the office. Met this morning and did business till noon. Dined at home +and from thence to my Lord's where Will, my clerk, and I were all the +afternoon making up my accounts, which we had done by night, and I find +myself worth about L100 after all my expenses. At night I sent to +W. Bowyer to bring me L100, being that he had in his hands of my Lord's. +in keeping, out of which I paid Mr. Sheply all that remained due to my +Lord upon my balance, and took the rest home with me late at night. We +got a coach, but the horses were tired and could not carry us farther +than St. Dunstan's. So we 'light and took a link and so home weary to +bed. + + + +28th. Early in the morning rose, and a boy brought me a letter from Poet +Fisher, who tells me that he is upon a panegyrique of the King, and +desired to borrow a piece of me; and I sent him half a piece. To +Westminster, and there dined with Mr. Sheply and W. Howe, afterwards +meeting with Mr. Henson, who had formerly had the brave clock that went +with bullets (which is now taken away from him by the King, it being his +goods). + + [Some clocks are still made with a small ball, or bullet, on an + inclined plane, which turns every minute. The King's clocks + probably dropped bullets. Gainsborough the painter had a brother + who was a dissenting minister at Henley-on-Thames, and possessed a + strong genius for mechanics. He invented a clock of a very peculiar + construction, which, after his death, was deposited in the British + Museum. It told the hour by a little bell, and was kept in motion + by a leaden bullet, which dropped from a spiral reservoir at the top + of the clock, into a little ivory bucket. This was so contrived as + to discharge it at the bottom, and by means of a counter-weight was + carried up to the top of the clock, where it received another + bullet, which was discharged as the former. This seems to have been + an attempt at the perpetual motion.--Gentleman's Magazine, 1785, + p. 931.--B.] + +I went with him to the Swan Tavern and sent for Mr. Butler, who was now +all full of his high discourse in praise of Ireland, whither he and his +whole family are going by Coll. Dillon's persuasion, but so many lies I +never heard in praise of anything as he told of Ireland. So home late at +night and to bed. + + + +29th. Lord's day. I and my boy Will to Whitehall, and I with my Lord to +White Hall Chappell, where I heard a cold sermon of the Bishop of +Salisbury's, and the ceremonies did not please me, they do so overdo +them. My Lord went to dinner at Kensington with my Lord Camden. So I +dined and took Mr. Birfett, my Lord's chaplain, and his friend along with +me, with Mr. Sheply at my Lord's. In the afternoon with Dick Vines and +his brother Payton, we walked to Lisson Green and Marybone and back +again, and finding my Lord at home I got him to look over my accounts, +which he did approve of and signed them, and so we are even to this day. +Of this I was glad, and do think myself worth clear money about L120. +Home late, calling in at my father's without stay. To bed. + + + +30th. Sat at our office to-day, and my father came this day the first +time to see us at my new office. And Mrs. Crisp by chance came in and +sat with us, looked over our house and advised about the furnishing of +it. This afternoon I got my L50, due to me for my first quarter's salary +as Secretary to my Lord, paid to Tho. Hater for me, which he received and +brought home to me, of which I am full glad. To Westminster and among +other things met with Mr. Moore, and took him and his friend, +a bookseller of Paul's Churchyard, to the Rhenish Winehouse, and drinking +there the sword-bearer of London (Mr. Man) came to ask for us, with whom +we sat late, discoursing about the worth of my office of Clerk of the +Acts, which he hath a mind to buy, and I asked four years' purchase. We +are to speak more of it to-morrow. Home on foot, and seeing him at home +at Butler's merry, he lent me a torch, which Will carried, and so home. + + + +31st. To White Hall, where my Lord and the principal officers met, and +had a great discourse about raising of money for the Navy, which is in +very sad condition, and money must be raised for it. Mr. Blackburne, Dr. +Clerke, and I to the Quaker's and dined there. I back to the Admiralty, +and there was doing things in order to the calculating of the debts of +the Navy and other business, all the afternoon. At night I went to the +Privy Seal, where I found Mr. Crofts and Mathews making up all their +things to leave the office tomorrow, to those that come to wait the next +month. I took them to the Sun Tavern and there made them drink, and +discoursed concerning the office, and what I was to expect tomorrow about +Baron, who pretends to the next month. Late home by coach so far as +Ludgate with Mr. Mathews, and thence home on foot with W.
