+
+April 1st, 1661.  This day my waiting at the Privy Seal comes in again. Up
+early among my workmen.  So to the once, and went home to dinner with Sir
+W. Batten, and after that to the Goat tavern by Charing Cross to meet Dr.
+Castle, where he and I drank a pint of wine and talked about Privy Seal
+business.  Then to the Privy Seal Office and there found Mr. Moore, but no
+business yet.  Then to Whitefryars, and there saw part of "Rule a wife and
+have a wife," which I never saw before, but do not like it.  So to my
+father, and there finding a discontent between my father and mother about
+the maid (which my father likes and my mother dislikes), I staid till 10
+at night, persuading my mother to understand herself, and that in some
+high words, which I was sorry for, but she is grown, poor woman, very
+froward.  So leaving them in the same discontent I went away home, it
+being a brave moonshine, and to bed.
+
+2d.  Among my workmen early and then along with my wife and Pall to my
+Father's by coach there to have them lie a while till my house be done. I
+found my mother alone weeping upon my last night's quarrel and so left
+her, and took my wife to Charing Cross and there left her to see her
+mother who is not well.  So I into St. James's Park, where I saw the Duke
+of York playing at Pelemele,
+
+     [The game was originally played in the road now styled Pall Mall,
+     near St. James's Square, but at the Restoration when sports came in
+     fashion again the street was so much built over, that it became
+     necessary to find another ground.  The Mall in St. James's Park was
+     then laid out for the purpose.]
+
+ the first time that ever I saw the sport.  Then to my Lord's, where I
+dined with my Lady, and after we had dined in comes my Lord and Ned
+Pickering hungry, and there was not a bit of meat left in the house, the
+servants having eat up all, at which my Lord was very angry, and at last
+got something dressed.  Then to the Privy Seal, and signed some things,
+and so to White-fryars and saw "The Little Thiefe," which is a very merry
+and pretty play, and the little boy do very well.  Then to my Father's,
+where I found my mother and my wife in a very good mood, and so left them
+and went home.  Then to the Dolphin to Sir W. Batten, and Pen, and other
+company; among others Mr. Delabar; where strange how these men, who at
+other times are all wise men, do now, in their drink, betwitt and
+reproach one another with their former conditions, and their actions as
+in public concernments, till I was ashamed to see it.  But parted all
+friends at 12 at night after drinking a great deal of wine.  So home and
+alone to bed.
+
+3rd.  Up among my workmen, my head akeing all day from last night's
+debauch. To the office all the morning, and at noon dined with Sir W.
+Batten and Pen, who would needs have me drink two drafts of sack to-day to
+cure me of last night's disease, which I thought strange but I think find
+it true.
+
+     [The proverb, "A hair of the dog that bit you," which probably had
+     originally a literal meaning, has long been used to inculcate the
+     advice of the two Sir Williams.]
+
+Then home with my workmen all the afternoon, at night into the garden to
+play on my flageolette, it being moonshine, where I staid a good while,
+and so home and to bed.  This day I hear that the Dutch have sent the King
+a great present of money, which we think will stop the match with
+Portugal; and judge this to be the reason that our so great haste in
+sending the two ships to the East Indys is also stayed.
+
+4th.  To my workmen, then to my Lord's, and there dined with Mr. Shepley.
+After dinner I went in to my Lord and there we had a great deal of
+musique, and then came my cozen Tom Pepys and there did accept of the
+security which we gave him for his L1000 that we borrow of him, and so the
+money to be paid next week. Then to the Privy Seal, and so with Mr. Moore
+to my father's, where some friends did sup there and we with them and late
+went home, leaving my wife still there.  So to bed.
+
+5th: Up among my workmen and so to the office, and then to Sir W. Pen's
+with the other Sir William and Sir John Lawson to dinner, and after that,
+with them to Mr. Lucy's, a merchant, where much good company, and there
+drank a great deal of wine, and in discourse fell to talk of the weight of
+people, which did occasion some wagers, and where, among others, I won
+half a piece to be spent. Then home, and at night to Sir W. Batten's, and
+there very merry with a good barrell of oysters, and this is the present
+life I lead.  Home and to bed.
+
+6th.  Up among my workmen, then to Whitehall, and there at Privy Seal and
+elsewhere did business, and among other things met with Mr. Townsend, who
+told of his mistake the other day, to put both his legs through one of his
+knees of his breeches, and went so all day.  Then with Mr. Creed and Moore
+to the Leg in the Palace to dinner which I gave them, and after dinner I
+saw the girl of the house, being very pretty, go into a chamber, and I
+went in after her and kissed her.  Then by water, Creed and I, to
+Salisbury Court and there saw "Love's Quarrell" acted the first time, but
+I do not like the design or words.  So calling at my father's, where they
+and my wife well, and so home and to bed.
+
+7th (Lord's day).  All the morning at home making up my accounts (God
+forgive me!) to give up to my Lord this afternoon.  Then about 11 o'clock
+out of doors towards Westminster and put in at Paul's, where I saw our
+minister, Mr. Mills, preaching before my Lord Mayor.  So to White Hall,
+and there I met with Dr. Fuller of Twickenham, newly come from Ireland;
+and took him to my Lord's, where he and I dined; and he did give my Lord
+and me a good account of the condition of Ireland, and how it come to
+pass, through the joyning of the Fanatiques and the Presbyterians, that
+the latter and the former are in their declaration put together under the
+names of Fanatiques.  After dinner, my Lord and I and Mr. Shepley did look
+over our accounts and settle matters of money between us; and my Lord did
+tell me much of his mind about getting money and other things of his
+family, &c.  Then to my father's, where I found Mr. Hunt and his wife at
+supper with my father and mother and my wife, where after supper I left
+them and so home, and then I went to Sir W. Batten's and resolved of a
+journey tomorrow to Chatham, and so home and to bed.
+
+8th.  Up early, my Lady Batten knocking at her door that comes into one of
+my chambers.  I did give directions to my people and workmen, and so about
+8 o'clock we took barge at the Tower, Sir William Batten and his lady,
+Mrs. Turner, Mr. Fowler and I.  A very pleasant passage and so to
+Gravesend, where we dined, and from thence a coach took them and me, and
+Mr. Fowler with some others came from Rochester to meet us, on horseback.
+At Rochester, where alight at Mr. Alcock's and there drank and had good
+sport, with his bringing out so many sorts of cheese.  Then to the
+Hillhouse at Chatham, where I never was before, and I found a pretty
+pleasant house and am pleased with the arms that hang up there.  Here we
+supped very merry, and late to bed; Sir William telling me that old
+Edgeborrow, his predecessor, did die and walk in my chamber, did make me
+some what afeard, but not so much as for mirth's sake I did seem.  So to
+bed in the treasurer's chamber.
+
+9th.  And lay and slept well till 3 in the morning, and then waking, and
+by the light of the moon I saw my pillow (which overnight I flung from me)
+stand upright, but not bethinking myself what it might be, I was a little
+afeard, but sleep overcame all and so lay till high morning, at which time
+I had a candle brought me and a good fire made, and in general it was a
+great pleasure all the time I staid here to see how I am respected and
+honoured by all people; and I find that I begin to know now how to receive
+so much reverence, which at the beginning I could not tell how to do.  Sir
+William and I by coach to the dock and there viewed all the storehouses
+and the old goods that are this day to be sold, which was great pleasure
+to me, and so back again by coach home, where we had a good dinner, and
+among other strangers that come, there was Mr. Hempson and his wife, a
+pretty woman, and speaks Latin; Mr. Allen and two daughters of his, both
+very tall and the youngest very handsome, so much as I could not forbear
+to love her exceedingly, having, among other things, the best hand that
+ever I saw.  After dinner, we went to fit books and things (Tom Hater
+being this morning come to us) for the sale, by an inch of candle, and
+very good sport we and the ladies that stood by had, to see the people
+bid.  Among other things sold there was all the State's arms, which Sir W.
+Batten bought; intending to set up some of the images in his garden, and
+the rest to burn on the Coronacion night.  The sale being done, the ladies
+and I and Captain Pett and Mr. Castle took barge and down we went to see
+the Sovereign, which we did, taking great pleasure therein, singing all
+the way, and, among other pleasures, I put my Lady, Mrs. Turner, Mrs.
+Hempson, and the two Mrs. Allens into the lanthorn and I went in and
+kissed them, demanding it as a fee due to a principall officer, with all
+which we were exceeding merry, and drunk some bottles of wine and neat's
+tongue, &c.  Then back again home and so supped, and after much mirth to
+bed.
+
+10th.  In the morning to see the Dockhouses.  First, Mr. Pett's, the
+builder, and there was very kindly received, and among other things he did
+offer my Lady Batten a parrot, the best I ever saw, that knew Mingo so
+soon as it saw him, having been bred formerly in the house with them; but
+for talking and singing I never heard the like.  My Lady did accept of it:
+Then to see Commissioner Pett's house, he and his family being absent, and
+here I wondered how my Lady Batten walked up and down with envious looks
+to see how neat and rich everything is (and indeed both the house and
+garden is most handsome), saying that she would get it, for it belonged
+formerly to the Surveyor of the Navy. Then on board the Prince, now in the
+dock, and indeed it has one and no more rich cabins for carved work, but
+no gold in her.  After that back home, and there eat a little dinner.
+Then to Rochester, and there saw the Cathedrall, which is now fitting for
+use, and the organ then a-tuning.  Then away thence, observing the great
+doors of the church, which, they say, was covered with the skins of the
+Danes,
+
+     [Traditions similar to that at Rochester, here alluded to, are to be
+     found in other places in England.  Sir Harry Englefield, in a
+     communication made to the Society of Antiquaries, July 2nd, 1789,
+     called attention to the curious popular tale preserved in the
+     village of Hadstock, Essex, that the door of the church had been
+     covered with the skin of a Danish pirate, who had plundered the
+     church.  At Worcester, likewise, it was asserted that the north
+     doors of the cathedral had been covered with the skin of a person
+     who had sacrilegiously robbed the high altar.  The date of these
+     doors appears to be the latter part of the fourteenth century, the
+     north porch having been built about 1385.  Dart, in his "History of
+     the Abbey Church of St. Peter's, Westminster," 1723 (vol. i., book
+     ii., p. 64), relates a like tradition then preserved in reference to
+     a door, one of three which closed off a chamber from the south
+     transept--namely, a certain building once known as the Chapel of
+     Henry VIII., and used as a "Revestry."  This chamber, he states, "is
+     inclosed with three doors, the inner cancellated, the middle, which
+     is very thick, lined with skins like parchment, and driven full of
+     nails.  These skins, they by tradition tell us, were some skins of
+     the Danes, tann'd and given here as a memorial of our delivery from
+     them."  Portions of this supposed human skin were examined under the
+     microscope by the late Mr. John Quekett of the Hunterian Museum, who
+     ascertained, beyond question, that in each of the cases the skin was
+     human.  From a communication by the late Mr. Albert Way, F.S.A., to
+     the late Lord Braybrooke.]
+
+and also had much mirth at a tomb, on which was "Come sweet Jesu," and I
+read "Come sweet Mall," &c., at which Captain Pett and I had good
+laughter.  So to the Salutacion tavern, where Mr. Alcock and many of the
+town came and entertained us with wine and oysters and other things, and
+hither come Sir John Minnes to us, who is come to-day to see "the Henery,"
+in which he intends to ride as Vice-Admiral in the narrow seas all this
+summer.  Here much mirth, but I was a little troubled to stay too long,
+because of going to Hempson's, which afterwards we did, and found it in
+all things a most pretty house, and rarely furnished, only it had a most
+ill access on all sides to it, which is a greatest fault that I think can
+be in a house.  Here we had, for my sake, two fiddles, the one a base
+viall, on which he that played, played well some lyra lessons, but both
+together made the worst musique that ever I heard.  We had a fine
+collacion, but I took little pleasure in that, for the illness of the
+musique and for the intentness of my mind upon Mrs. Rebecca Allen. After
+we had done eating, the ladies went to dance, and among the men we had, I
+was forced to dance too; and did make an ugly shift.  Mrs. R. Allen danced
+very well, and seems the best humoured woman that ever I saw.  About 9
+o'clock Sir William and my Lady went home, and we continued dancing an
+hour or two, and so broke up very pleasant and merry, and so walked home,
+I leading Mrs. Rebecca, who seemed, I know not why, in that and other
+things, to be desirous of my favours and would in all things show me
+respects.  Going home, she would needs have me sing, and I did pretty well
+and was highly esteemed by them.  So to Captain Allen's (where we were
+last night, and heard him play on the harpsicon, and I find him to be a
+perfect good musician), and there, having no mind to leave Mrs. Rebecca,
+what with talk and singing (her father and I), Mrs. Turner and I staid
+there till 2 o'clock in the morning and was most exceeding merry, and I
+had the opportunity of kissing Mrs. Rebecca very often.  Among other
+things Captain Pett was saying that he thought that he had got his wife
+with child since I came thither.  Which I took hold of and was merrily
+asking him what he would take to have it said for my honour that it was of
+my getting?  He merrily answered that he would if I would promise to be
+godfather to it if it did come within the time just, and I said that I
+would.  So that I must remember to compute it when the time comes.
+
+11th.  At 2 o'clock, with very great mirth, we went to our lodging and to
+bed, and lay till 7, and then called up by Sir W. Batten, so I arose and
+we did some business, and then came Captn. Allen, and he and I withdrew
+and sang a song or two, and among others took pleasure in "Goe and bee
+hanged, that's good-bye." The young ladies come too, and so I did again
+please myself with Mrs. Rebecca, and about 9 o'clock, after we had
+breakfasted, we sett forth for London, and indeed I was a little troubled
+to part with Mrs. Rebecca, for which God forgive me.  Thus we went away
+through Rochester, calling and taking leave of Mr. Alcock at the door,
+Capt. Cuttance going with us.  We baited at Dartford, and thence to
+London, but of all the journeys that ever I made this was the merriest,
+and I was in a strange mood for mirth.
+
+Among other things, I got my Lady to let her maid, Mrs. Anne, to ride all
+the way on horseback, and she rides exceeding well; and so I called her my
+clerk, that she went to wait upon me.  I met two little schoolboys going
+with pitchers of ale to their schoolmaster to break up against Easter, and
+I did drink of some of one of them and give him two pence. By and by we
+come to two little girls keeping cows, and I saw one of them very pretty,
+so I had a mind to make her ask my blessing, and telling her that I was
+her godfather, she asked me innocently whether I was not Ned Wooding, and
+I said that I was, so she kneeled down and very simply called, "Pray,
+godfather, pray to God to bless me," which made us very merry, and I gave
+her twopence.  In several places, I asked women whether they would sell me
+their children, but they denied me all, but said they would give me one to
+keep for them, if I would.  Mrs. Anne and I rode under the man that hangs
+upon Shooter's Hill,
+
+     [Shooter's Hill, Kent, between the eighth and ninth milestones on
+     the Dover road.  It was long a notorious haunt of highwaymen.  The
+     custom was to leave the bodies of criminals hanging until the bones
+     fell to the ground.]
+
+and a filthy sight it was to see how his flesh is shrunk to his bones. So
+home and I found all well, and a deal of work done since I went.  I sent
+to see how my wife do, who is well, and my brother John come from
+Cambridge.  To Sir W. Batten's and there supped, and very merry with the
+young ladles.  So to bed very sleepy for last night's work, concluding
+that it is the pleasantest journey in all respects that ever I had in my
+life.
+
+12th.  Up among my workmen, and about 7 o'clock comes my wife to see me
+and my brother John with her, who I am glad to see, but I sent them away
+because of going to the office, and there dined with Sir W. Batten, all
+fish dinner, it being Good Friday.  Then home and looking over my workmen,
+and then into the City and saw in what forwardness all things are for the
+Coronacion, which will be very magnificent.  Then back again home and to
+my chamber, to set down in my diary all my late journey, which I do with
+great pleasure; and while I am now writing comes one with a tickett to
+invite me to Captain Robert Blake's buriall, for whose death I am very
+sorry, and do much wonder at it, he being a little while since a very
+likely man to live as any I knew.  Since my going out of town, there is
+one Alexander Rosse taken and sent to the Counter by Sir Thomas Allen, for
+counterfeiting my hand to a ticket, and we this day at the office have
+given order to Mr. Smith to prosecute him.  To bed.
+
+13th.  To Whitehall by water from Towre-wharf, where we could not pass the
+ordinary way, because they were mending of the great stone steps against
+the Coronacion.  With Sir W. Pen, then to my Lord's, and thence with Capt.
+Cuttance and Capt. Clark to drink our morning draught together, and before
+we could get back again my Lord was gone out.  So to Whitehall again and,
+met with my Lord above with the Duke; and after a little talk with him, I
+went to the Banquethouse, and there saw the King heal, the first time that
+ever I saw him do it; which he did with great gravity, and it seemed to me
+to be an ugly office and a simple one.  That done to my Lord's and dined
+there, and so by water with parson Turner towards London, and upon my
+telling of him of Mr. Moore to be a fit man to do his business with Bishop
+Wren, about which he was going, he went back out of my boat into another
+to Whitehall, and so I forwards home and there by and by took coach with
+Sir W. Pen and Captain Terne and went to the buriall of Captain Robert
+Blake, at Wapping, and there had each of us a ring, but it being dirty, we
+would not go to church with them, but with our coach we returned home, and
+there staid a little, and then he and I alone to the Dolphin (Sir W.
+Batten being this day gone with his wife to Walthamstow to keep Easter),
+and there had a supper by ourselves, we both being very hungry, and
+staying there late drinking I became very sleepy, and so we went home and
+I to bed.
+
+14th (Easter.  Lord's day).  In the morning towards my father's, and by
+the way heard Mr. Jacomb, at Ludgate, upon these words, "Christ loved you
+and therefore let us love one another," and made a lazy sermon, like a
+Presbyterian.  Then to my father's and dined there, and Dr. Fairbrother
+(lately come to town) with us. After dinner I went to the Temple and there
+heard Dr. Griffith, a good sermon for the day; so with Mr. Moore (whom I
+met there) to my Lord's, and there he shewed me a copy of my Lord
+Chancellor's patent for Earl, and I read the preamble, which is very
+short, modest, and good.  Here my Lord saw us and spoke to me about
+getting Mr. Moore to come and govern his house while he goes to sea, which
+I promised him to do and did afterwards speak to Mr. Moore, and he is
+willing.  Then hearing that Mr. Barnwell was come, with some of my Lord's
+little children, yesterday to town, to see the Coronacion, I went and
+found them at the Goat, at Charing Cross, and there I went and drank with
+them a good while, whom I found in very good health and very merry Then to
+my father's, and after supper seemed willing to go home, and my wife
+seeming to be so too I went away in a discontent, but she, poor wretch,
+followed me as far in the rain and dark as Fleet Bridge to fetch me back
+again, and so I did, and lay with her to-night, which I have not done
+these eight or ten days before.
+
+15th.  From my father's, it being a very foul morning for the King and
+Lords to go to Windsor, I went to the office and there met Mr. Coventry
+and Sir Robt. Slingsby, but did no business, but only appoint to go to
+Deptford together tomorrow.  Mr. Coventry being gone, and I having at home
+laid up L200 which I had brought this morning home from Alderman
+Backwell's, I went home by coach with Sir R. Slingsby and dined with him,
+and had a very good dinner.  His lady' seems a good woman and very
+desirous they were to hear this noon by the post how the election has gone
+at Newcastle, wherein he is concerned, but the letters are not come yet.
+To my uncle Wight's, and after a little stay with them he and I to Mr.
+Rawlinson's, and there staid all the afternoon, it being very foul, and
+had a little talk with him what good I might make of these ships that go
+to Portugal by venturing some money by them, and he will give me an answer
+to it shortly.  So home and sent for the Barber, and after that to bed.
+
+16th.  So soon as word was brought me that Mr. Coventry was come with the
+barge to the Towre, I went to him, and found him reading of the Psalms in
+short hand (which he is now busy about), and had good sport about the long
+marks that are made there for sentences in divinity, which he is never
+like to make use of. Here he and I sat till the Comptroller came and then
+we put off for Deptford, where we went on board the King's pleasure boat
+that Commissioner Pett is making, and indeed it will be a most pretty
+thing.  From thence to Commr. Pett's lodging, and there had a good
+breakfast, and in came the two Sir Wms. from Walthamstow, and so we sat
+down and did a great deal of public business about the fitting of the
+fleet that is now going out.  That done we went to the Globe and there had
+a good dinner, and by and by took barge again and so home. By the way they
+would have me sing, which I did to Mr. Coventry, who went up to Sir
+William Batten's, and there we staid and talked a good while, and then
+broke up and I home, and then to my father's and there lay with my wife.
+
+17th.  By land and saw the arches, which are now almost done and are very
+fine, and I saw the picture of the ships and other things this morning,
+set up before the East Indy House, which are well done.  So to the office,
+and that being done I went to dinner with Sir W. Batten, and then home to
+my workmen, and saw them go on with great content to me.  Then comes Mr.
+Allen of Chatham, and I took him to the Mitre and there did drink with
+him, and did get of him the song that pleased me so well there the other
+day, "Of Shitten come Shites the beginning of love."  His daughters are to
+come to town to-morrow, but I know not whether I shall see them or no.
+That done I went to the Dolphin by appointment and there I met Sir Wms.
+both and Mr. Castle, and did eat a barrel of oysters and two lobsters,
+which I did give them, and were very merry.  Here we had great talk of Mr.
+Warren's being knighted by the King, and Sir W. B. seemed to be very much
+incensed against him.  So home.
+
+18th.  Up with my workmen and then about 9 o'clock took horse with both
+the Sir Williams for Walthamstow, and there we found my Lady and her
+daughters all; and a pleasant day it was, and all things else, but that my
+Lady was in a bad mood, which we were troubled at, and had she been noble
+she would not have been so with her servants, when we came thither, and
+this Sir W. Pen took notice of, as well as I.  After dinner we all went to
+the Church stile, and there eat and drank, and I was as merry as I could
+counterfeit myself to be.  Then, it raining hard, we left Sir W. Batten,
+and we two returned and called at Mr.----and drank some brave wine there,
+and then homewards again and in our way met with two country fellows upon
+one horse, which I did, without much ado, give the way to, but Sir W. Pen
+would not, but struck them and they him, and so passed away, but they
+giving him some high words, he went back again and struck them off their
+horse, in a simple fury, and without much honour, in my mind, and so came
+away.  Home, and I sat with him a good while talking, and then home and to
+bed.
+
+19th.  Among my workmen and then to the office, and after that dined with
+Sir W. Batten, and then home, where Sir W. Warren came, and I took him and
+Mr. Shepley and Moore with me to the Mitre, and there I cleared with
+Warren for the deals I bought lately for my Lord of him, and he went away,
+and we staid afterwards a good while and talked, and so parted, it being
+so foul that I could not go to Whitehall to see the Knights of the Bath
+made to-day, which do trouble me mightily.  So home, and having staid
+awhile till Will came in (with whom I was vexed for staying abroad), he
+comes and then I went by water to my father's, and then after supper to
+bed with my wife.
+
+20th.  Here comes my boy to tell me that the Duke of York had sent for all
+the principal officers, &c., to come to him to-day.  So I went by water to
+Mr. Coventry's, and there staid and talked a good while with him till all
+the rest come.  We went up and saw the Duke dress himself, and in his
+night habitt he is a very plain man.  Then he sent us to his closett,
+where we saw among other things two very fine chests, covered with gold
+and Indian varnish, given him by the East Indy Company of Holland.  The
+Duke comes; and after he had told us that the fleet was designed for
+Algier (which was kept from us till now), we did advise about many things
+as to the fitting of the fleet, and so went away. And from thence to the
+Privy Seal, where little to do, and after that took Mr. Creed and Moore
+and gave them their morning draught, and after that to my Lord's, where
+Sir W. Pen came to me, and dined with my Lord.  After dinner he and others
+that dined there went away, and then my Lord looked upon his pages' and
+footmen's liverys, which are come home to-day, and will be handsome,
+though not gaudy.  Then with my Lady and my Lady Wright to White Hall; and
+in the Banqueting-house saw the King create my Lord Chancellor and several
+others, Earls, and Mr. Crew and several others, Barons: the first being
+led up by Heralds and five old Earls to the King, and there the patent is
+read, and the King puts on his vest, and sword, and coronet, and gives him
+the patent.  And then he kisseth the King's hand, and rises and stands
+covered before the king. And the same for the Barons, only he is led up
+but by three of the old Barons, and are girt with swords before they go to
+the King.  That being done (which was very pleasant to see their habits),
+I carried my Lady back, and I found my Lord angry, for that his page had
+let my Lord's new beaver be changed for an old hat; then I went away, and
+with Mr. Creed to the Exchange and bought some things, as gloves and
+bandstrings, &c.  So back to the Cockpitt, and there, by the favour of one
+Mr. Bowman, he and I got in, and there saw the King and Duke of York and
+his Duchess (which is a plain woman, and like her mother, my Lady
+Chancellor).  And so saw "The Humersome Lieutenant" acted before the King,
+but not very well done.
+
+But my pleasure was great to see the manner of it, and so many great
+beauties, but above all Mrs. Palmer, with whom the King do discover a
+great deal of familiarity.  So Mr. Creed and I (the play being done) went
+to Mrs. Harper's, and there sat and drank, it being about twelve at night.
+The ways being now so dirty, and stopped up with the rayles which are this
+day set up in the streets, I would not go home, but went with him to his
+lodging at Mr. Ware's, and there lay all night.
+
+21st (Lord's day).  In the morning we were troubled to hear it rain as it
+did, because of the great show tomorrow.  After I was ready I walked to my
+father's and there found the late maid to be gone and another come by my
+mother's choice, which my father do not like, and so great difference
+there will be between my father and mother about it.  Here dined Doctor
+Thos. Pepys and Dr. Fayrebrother; and all our talk about to-morrow's show,
+and our trouble that it is like to be a wet day.  After dinner comes in my
+coz. Snow and his wife, and I think stay there till the show be over.
+Then I went home, and all the way is so thronged with people to see the
+triumphal arches, that I could hardly pass for them.  So home, people
+being at church, and I got home unseen, and so up to my chamber and saw
+done these last five or six days' diarys.  My mind a little troubled about
+my workmen, which, being foreigners,--[Foreigners were workmen dwelling
+outside the city.]--are like to be troubled by a couple of lazy rogues
+that worked with me the other day, that are citizens, and so my work will
+be hindered, but I must prevent it if I can.
+
+22d.  KING'S GOING FROM YE TOWER TO WHITE HALL.
+
+     [The king in the early morning of the 22nd went from Whitehall to
+     the Tower by water, so that he might proceed from thence through the
+     City to Westminster Abbey, there to be crowned.]
+
+Up early and made myself as fine as I could, and put on my velvet coat,
+the first day that I put it on, though made half a year ago.  And being
+ready, Sir W. Batten, my Lady, and his two daughters and his son and wife,
+and Sir W. Pen and his son and I, went to Mr. Young's, the flag-maker, in
+Corne-hill;
+
+     [The members of the Navy Office appear to have chosen Mr. Young's
+     house on account of its nearness to the second triumphal arch,
+     situated near the Royal Exchange, which was dedicated to the Navy.]
+
+and there we had a good room to ourselves, with wine and good cake, and
+saw the show very well.  In which it is impossible to relate the glory of
+this day, expressed in the clothes of them that rid, and their horses and
+horses clothes, among others, my Lord Sandwich's.  Embroidery and diamonds
+were ordinary among them.  The Knights of the Bath was a brave sight of
+itself; and their Esquires, among which Mr. Armiger was an Esquire to one
+of the Knights.  Remarquable were the two men that represent the two Dukes
+of Normandy and Aquitane.  The Bishops come next after Barons, which is
+the higher place; which makes me think that the next Parliament they will
+be called to the House of Lords.  My Lord Monk rode bare after the King,
+and led in his hand a spare horse, as being Master of the Horse.  The
+King, in a most rich embroidered suit and cloak, looked most noble.
+Wadlow,
+
+     [Simon Wadlow was the original of "old Sir Simon the king," the
+     favourite air of Squire Western in "Tom Jones."
+
+              "Hang up all the poor hop-drinkers,
+               Cries old Sim, the king of skinkers."
+
+     Ben Jonson, Verses over the door into the Apollo.]
+
+the vintner, at the Devil; in Fleetstreet, did lead a fine company of
+soldiers, all young comely men, in white doublets.  There followed the
+Vice-Chamberlain, Sir G. Carteret, a company of men all like Turks; but I
+know not yet what they are for.  The streets all gravelled, and the houses
+hung with carpets before them, made brave show, and the ladies out of the
+windows, one of which over against us I took much notice of, and spoke of
+her, which made good sport among us.  So glorious was the show with gold
+and silver, that we were not able to look at it, our eyes at last being so
+much overcome with it.  Both the King and the Duke of York took notice of
+us, as he saw us at the window.  The show being ended, Mr. Young did give
+us a dinner, at which we were very merry, and pleased above imagination at
+what we have seen.  Sir W. Batten going home, he and I called and drunk
+some mum
+
+     [Mum.  Ale brewed with wheat at Brunswick.
+
+              "Sedulous and stout
+               With bowls of fattening mum."
+
+     J. Phillips, Cyder, Vol. ii.  p. 231.]
+
+and laid our wager about my Lady Faulconbridge's name,
+
+     [Mary, third daughter of Oliver Cromwell, and second wife of Thomas
+     Bellasis, second Viscount Fauconberg, created Earl of Fauconberg,
+     April 9th, 1689.]
+
+which he says not to be Mary, and so I won above 20s.  So home, where Will
+and the boy staid and saw the show upon Towre Hill, and Jane at T.
+Pepys's, The. Turner, and my wife at Charles Glassecocke's, in Fleet
+Street. In the evening by water to White Hall to my Lord's, and there I
+spoke with my Lord.  He talked with me about his suit, which was made in
+France, and cost him L200, and very rich it is with embroidery.  I lay
+with Mr. Shepley, and
+
+                             CORONACION DAY.
+
+23d.  About 4 I rose and got to the Abbey, where I followed Sir J. Denham,
+the Surveyor, with some company that he was leading in.  And with much
+ado, by the favour of Mr. Cooper, his man, did get up into a great
+scaffold across the North end of the Abbey, where with a great deal of
+patience I sat from past 4 till 11 before the King came in.  And a great
+pleasure it was to see the Abbey raised in the middle, all covered with
+red, and a throne (that is a chair) and footstool on the top of it; and
+all the officers of all kinds, so much as the very fidlers, in red vests.
+At last comes in the Dean and Prebends of Westminster, with the Bishops
+(many of them in cloth of gold copes), and after them the Nobility, all in
+their Parliament robes, which was a most magnificent sight.  Then the
+Duke, and the King with a scepter (carried by my Lord Sandwich) and sword
+and mond
+
+     [Mond or orb of gold, with a cross set with precious stones, carried
+     by the Duke of Buckingham.]
+
+before him, and the crown too.  The King in his robes, bare-headed, which
+was very fine.  And after all had placed themselves, there was a sermon
+and the service; and then in the Quire at the high altar, the King passed
+through all the ceremonies of the Coronacon, which to my great grief I and
+most in the Abbey could not see.  The crown being put upon his head, a
+great shout begun, and he came forth to the throne, and there passed more
+ceremonies: as taking the oath, and having things read to him by the
+Bishop; and his lords (who put on their caps as soon as the King put on
+his crown)
+
+     [As yet barons had no coronet.  A grant of that outward mark of
+     dignity was made to them by Charles soon after his coronation.
+     Queen Elizabeth had assigned coronets to viscounts.--B.]
+
+and bishops come, and kneeled before him.  And three times the King at
+Arms went to the three open places on the scaffold, and proclaimed, that
+if any one could show any reason why Charles Stewart should not be King of
+England, that now he should come and speak.  And a Generall Pardon also
+was read by the Lord Chancellor, and meddalls flung up and down by my Lord
+Cornwallis, of silver, but I could not come by any.  But so great a noise
+that I could make but little of the musique; and indeed, it was lost to
+every body.  But I had so great a lust to .  .  .  . that I went out
+a little while before the King had done all his ceremonies, and went round
+the Abbey to Westminster Hall, all the way within rayles, and 10,000
+people, with the ground covered with blue cloth; and scaffolds all the
+way.  Into the Hall I got, where it was very fine with hangings and
+scaffolds one upon another full of brave ladies; and my wife in one little
+one, on the right hand.  Here I staid walking up and down, and at last
+upon one of the side stalls I stood and saw the King come in with all the
+persons (but the soldiers) that were yesterday in the cavalcade; and a
+most pleasant sight it was to see them in their several robes.  And the
+King came in with his crown on, and his sceptre in his hand, under a
+canopy borne up by six silver staves, carried by Barons of the Cinque
+Ports,
+
+     [Pepys was himself one of the Barons of the Cinque Ports at the
+     Coronation of James II.]
+
+and little bells at every end.  And after a long time, he got up to the
+farther end, and all set themselves down at their several tables; and that
+was also a brave sight: and the King's first course carried up by the
+Knights of the Bath. And many fine ceremonies there was of the Heralds
+leading up people before him, and bowing; and my Lord of Albemarle's going
+to the kitchin and eat a bit of the first dish that was to go to the
+King's table.  But, above all, was these three Lords, Northumberland, and
+Suffolk, and the Duke of Ormond, coming before the courses on horseback,
+and staying so all dinner-time, and at last to bring up [Dymock] the
+King's Champion, all in armour on horseback, with his spear and targett
+carried before him.  And a Herald proclaims "That if any dare deny Charles
+Stewart to be lawful King of England, here was a Champion that would fight
+with him;"
+
+     [The terms of the Champion's challenge were as follows: "If any
+     person of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our
+     Soveraigne Lord King Charles the Second, King of England, Scotland,
+     France and Ireland, defender of the faith, Sonne and next heire to
+     our Soveraigne Lord Charles the First, the last King deceased, to be
+     right heire to the Imperiall Crowne of this Realme of England, or
+     that bee ought not to enjoy the same; here is his champion, who
+     sayth that he lyeth and is a false Traytor, being ready in person to
+     combate with him, and in this quarrell will venture his life against
+     him, on what day soever hee shall be appointed."]
+
+and with these words, the Champion flings down his gauntlet, and all this
+he do three times in his going up towards the King's table.  At last when
+he is come, the King drinks to him, and then sends him the cup which is of
+gold, and he drinks it off, and then rides back again with the cup in his
+hand.  I went from table to table to see the Bishops and all others at
+their dinner, and was infinitely pleased with it.  And at the Lords'
+table, I met with William Howe, and he spoke to my Lord for me, and he did
+give me four rabbits and a pullet, and so I got it and Mr. Creed and I got
+Mr. Michell to give us some bread, and so we at a stall eat it, as every
+body else did what they could get.  I took a great deal of pleasure to go
+up and down, and look upon the ladies, and to hear the musique of all
+sorts, but above all, the 24 violins: About six at night they had dined,
+and I went up to my wife, and there met with a pretty lady (Mrs.
+Frankleyn, a Doctor's wife, a friend of Mr. Bowyer's), and kissed them
+both, and by and by took them down to Mr. Bowyer's.  And strange it is to
+think, that these two days have held up fair till now that all is done,
+and the King gone out of the Hall; and then it fell a-raining and
+thundering and lightening as I have not seen it do for some years: which
+people did take great notice of; God's blessing of the work of these two
+days, which is a foolery to take too much notice of such things.  I
+observed little disorder in all this, but only the King's footmen had got
+hold of the canopy, and would keep it from the Barons of the Cinque Ports,
+
+     [Bishop Kennett gives a somewhat fuller account of this unseemly
+     broil: "No sooner had the aforesaid Barons brought up the King to
+     the foot of the stairs in Westminster Hall, ascending to his throne,
+     and turned on the left hand (towards their own table) out of the
+     way, but the King's footmen most insolently and violently seized
+     upon the canopy, which the Barons endeavouring to keep and defend,
+     were by their number and strength dragged clown to the lower end of
+     the Hall, nevertheless still keeping their hold; and had not Mr.
+     Owen York Herald, being accidentally near the Hall door, and seeing
+     the contest, caused the same to be shut, the footmen had certainly
+     carried it away by force.  But in the interim also (speedy notice
+     hereof having been given the King) one of the Querries were sent
+     from him, with command to imprison the footmen, and dismiss them out
+     of his service, which put an end to the present disturbance.  These
+     footmen were also commanded to make their submission to the Court of
+     Claims, which was accordingly done by them the 30th April following,
+     and the canopy then delivered back to the said Barons."  Whilst this
+     disturbance happened, the upper end of the first table, which had
+     been appointed for the Barons of the Cinque Ports, was taken up by
+     the Bishops, judges, &c., probably nothing loth to take precedence
+     of them; and the poor Barons, naturally unwilling to lose their
+     dinner, were necessitated to eat it at the bottom of the second
+     table, below the Masters of Chancery and others of the long
+     robe.-B.]
+
+which they endeavoured to force from them again, but could not do it till
+my Lord Duke of Albemarle caused it to be put into Sir R. Pye's' hand till
+tomorrow to be decided.  At Mr. Bowyer's; a great deal of company, some I
+knew, others I did not.  Here we staid upon the leads and below till it
+was late, expecting to see the fire-works, but they were not performed
+to-night: only the City had a light like a glory round about it with
+bonfires.  At last I went to Kingstreet, and there sent Crockford to my
+father's and my house, to tell them I could not come home tonight, because
+of the dirt, and a coach could not be had.  And so after drinking a pot of
+ale alone at Mrs. Harper's I returned to Mr. Bowyer's, and after a little
+stay more I took my wife and Mrs. Frankleyn (who I proffered the civility
+of lying with my wife at Mrs. Hunt's to-night) to Axe-yard, in which at
+the further end there were three great bonfires, and a great many great
+gallants, men and women; and they laid hold of us, and would have us drink
+the King's health upon our knees, kneeling upon a faggot, which we all
+did, they drinking to us one after another.  Which we thought a strange
+frolique; but these gallants continued thus a great while, and I wondered
+to see how the ladies did tipple.  At last I sent my wife and her
+bedfellow to bed, and Mr. Hunt and I went in with Mr. Thornbury (who did
+give the company all their wine, he being yeoman of the wine-cellar to the
+King) to his house; and there, with his wife and two of his sisters, and
+some gallant sparks that were there, we drank the King's health, and
+nothing else, till one of the gentlemen fell down stark drunk, and there
+lay spewing; and I went to my Lord's pretty well. But no sooner a-bed with
+Mr. Shepley but my head began to hum, and I to vomit, and if ever I was
+foxed it was now, which I cannot say yet, because I fell asleep and slept
+till morning.  Only when I waked I found myself wet with my spewing.  Thus
+did the day end with joy every where; and blessed be God, I have not heard
+of any mischance to any body through it all, but only to Serjt. Glynne,
+whose horse fell upon him yesterday, and is like to kill him, which people
+do please themselves to see how just God is to punish the rogue at such a
+time as this; he being now one of the King's Serjeants, and rode in the
+cavalcade with Maynard, to whom people wish the same fortune.  There was
+also this night in King-street, [a woman] had her eye put out by a boy's
+flinging a firebrand into the coach.  Now, after all this, I can say that,
+besides the pleasure of the sight of these glorious things, I may now shut
+my eyes against any other objects, nor for the future trouble myself to
+see things of state and show, as being sure never to see the like again in
+this world.
+
+24th.  Waked in the morning with my head in a sad taking through the last
+night's drink, which I am very sorry for; so rose and went out with Mr.
+Creed to drink our morning draft, which he did give me in chocolate
+
+     [Chocolate was introduced into England about the year 1652.  In the
+     "Publick Advertiser" of Tuesday, June 16-22, 1657, we find the
+     following; "In Bishopsgate Street in Queen's Head Alley, at a
+     Frenchman's house, is an excellent West India drink called
+     chocolate, to be sold, where you may have it ready at any time, and
+     also unmade at reasonable rates."--M. B.]
+
+to settle my stomach.  And after that I to my wife, who lay with Mrs.
+Frankelyn at the next door to Mrs. Hunt's, and they were ready, and so I
+took them up in a coach, and carried the ladies to Paul's, and there set
+her down, and so my wife and I home, and I to the office.  That being done
+my wife and I went to dinner to Sir W. Batten, and all our talk about the
+happy conclusion of these last solemnities.  After dinner home, and
+advised with my wife about ordering things in my house, and then she went
+away to my father's to lie, and I staid with my workmen, who do please me
+very well with their work.  At night, set myself to write down these three
+days' diary, and while I am about it, I hear the noise of the
+chambers,--[A chamber is a small piece of ordnance.]--and other things of
+the fire-works, which are now playing upon the Thames before the King; and
+I wish myself with them, being sorry not to see them.  So to bed.
+
+25th.  All the morning with my workmen with great pleasure to see them
+near coming to an end.  At noon Mr. Moore and I went to an Ordinary at the
+King's Head in Towre Street, and there had a dirty dinner. Afterwards home
+and having done some business with him, in comes Mr. Sheply and Pierce the
+surgeon, and they and I to the Mitre and there staid a while and drank,
+and so home and after a little rending to bed.
+
+26th.  At the office all the morning, and at noon dined by myself at home
+on a piece of meat from the cook's, and so at home all the afternoon with
+my workmen, and at night to bed, having some thoughts to order my business
+so as to go to Portsmouth the next week with Sir Robert Slingsby.
+
+27th.  In the morning to my Lord's, and there dined with my Lady, and
+after dinner with Mr. Creed and Captain Ferrers to the Theatre to see "The
+Chances," and after that to the Cock alehouse, where we had a harp and
+viallin played to us, and so home by coach to Sir W. Batten's, who seems
+so inquisitive when my, house will be made an end of that I am troubled to
+go thither.  So home with some trouble in my mind about it.
+
+28th (Lord's day).  In the morning to my father's, where I dined, and in
+the afternoon to their church, where come Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Edward
+Pepys, and several other ladies, and so I went out of the pew into
+another.  And after sermon home with them, and there staid a while and
+talked with them and was sent for to my father's, where my cozen Angier
+and his wife, of Cambridge, to whom I went, and was glad to see them, and
+sent for wine for them, and they supped with my father.  After supper my
+father told me of an odd passage the other night in bed between my mother
+and him, and she would not let him come to bed to her out of jealousy of
+him and an ugly wench that lived there lately, the most ill-favoured slut
+that ever I saw in my life, which I was ashamed to hear that my mother
+should be become such a fool, and my father bid me to take notice of it to
+my mother, and to make peace between him and her.  All which do trouble me
+very much.  So to bed to my wife.
+
+29th.  Up and with my father towards my house, and by the way met with
+Lieut. Lambert, and with him to the Dolphin in Tower Street and drank our
+morning draught, he being much troubled about his being offered a fourth
+rate ship to be Lieutenant of her now he has been two years Lieutenant in
+a first rate.  So to the office, where it is determined that I should go
+to-morrow to Portsmouth. So I went out of the office to Whitehall
+presently, and there spoke with Sir W. Pen and Sir George Carteret and had
+their advice as to my going, and so back again home, where I directed Mr.
+Hater what to do in order to our going to-morrow, and so back again by
+coach to Whitehall and there eat something in the buttery at my Lord's
+with John Goods and Ned Osgood.  And so home again, and gave order to my
+workmen what to do in my absence.  At night to Sir W. Batten's, and by his
+and Sir W. Pen's persuasion I sent for my wife from my father's, who came
+to us to Mrs. Turner's, where we were all at a collacion to-night till
+twelve o'clock, there being a gentlewoman there that did play well and
+sang well to the Harpsicon, and very merry we were.  So home and to bed,
+where my wife had not lain a great while.
+
+30th.  This morning, after order given to my workmen, my wife and I and
+Mr. Creed took coach, and in Fishstreet took up Mr. Hater and his wife,
+who through her mask seemed at first to be an old woman, but afterwards I
+found her to be a very pretty modest black woman.  We got a small bait at
+Leatherhead, and so to Godlyman, where we lay all night, and were very
+merry, having this day no other extraordinary rencontre, but my hat
+falling off my head at Newington into the water, by which it was spoiled,
+and I ashamed of it.  I am sorry that I am not at London, to be at
+Hide-parke to-morrow, among the great gallants and ladies, which will be
+very fine.
+
+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+
+                                 MAY 1661
+
+May 1st.  Up early, and bated at Petersfield, in the room which the King
+lay in lately at his being there.  Here very merry, and played us and our
+wives at bowls.  Then we set forth again, and so to Portsmouth, seeming to
+me to be a very pleasant and strong place; and we lay at the Red Lyon,
+where Haselrigge and Scott and Walton did hold their councill, when they
+were here, against Lambert and the Committee of Safety.  Several officers
+of the Yard came to see us to-night, and merry we were, but troubled to
+have no better lodgings.
+
+2nd.  Up, and Mr. Creed and I to walk round the town upon the walls. Then
+to our inn, and there all the officers of the Yard to see me with great
+respect, and I walked with them to the Dock and saw all the stores, and
+much pleased with the sight of the place.  Back and brought them all to
+dinner with me, and treated them handsomely; and so after dinner by water
+to the Yard, and there we made the sale of the old provisions. Then we and
+our wives all to see the Montagu, which is a fine ship, and so to the town
+again by water, and then to see the room where the Duke of Buckingham was
+killed by Felton.--1628.  So to our lodging, and to supper and to bed.
+To-night came Mr. Stevens to town to help us to pay off the Fox.
+
+3rd.  Early to walk with Mr. Creed up and down the town, and it was in his
+and some others' thoughts to have got me made free of the town, but the
+Mayor, it seems, unwilling, and so they could not do it.  Then to the
+payhouse, and there paid off the ship, and so to a short dinner, and then
+took coach, leaving Mrs. Hater there to stay with her husband's friends,
+and we to Petersfield, having nothing more of trouble in all my journey,
+but the exceeding unmannerly and most epicure-like palate of Mr. Creed.
+Here my wife and I lay in the room the Queen lately lay at her going into
+France.
+
+4th.  Up in the morning and took coach, and so to Gilford, where we lay at
+the Red Lyon, the best Inn, and lay in the room the King lately lay in,
+where we had time to see the Hospital, built by Archbishop Abbott, and the
+free school, and were civilly treated by the Mayster.  So to supper, and
+to bed, being very merry about our discourse with the Drawers concerning
+the minister of the Town, with a red face and a girdle.  So to bed, where
+we lay and sleep well.
+
+5th (Lord's day).  Mr. Creed and I went to the red-faced Parson's church,
+and heard a good sermon of him, better than I looked for.  Then home, and
+had a good dinner, and after dinner fell in some talk in Divinity with Mr.
+Stevens that kept us till it was past Church time.  Anon we walked into
+the garden, and there played the fool a great while, trying who of Mr.
+Creed or I could go best over the edge of an old fountain well, and I won
+a quart of sack of him.  Then to supper in the banquet house, and there my
+wife and I did talk high, she against and I for Mrs. Pierce (that she was
+a beauty), till we were both angry. Then to walk in the fields, and so to
+our quarters, and to bed.
+
+6th.  Up by four o'clock and took coach.  Mr. Creed rode, and left us that
+we know not whither he went.  We went on, thinking to be at home before
+the officers rose, but finding we could not we staid by the way and eat
+some cakes, and so home, where I was much troubled to see no more work
+done in my absence than there was, but it could not be helped.  I sent my
+wife to my father's, and I went and sat till late with my Lady Batten,
+both the Sir Williams being gone this day to pay off some ships at
+Deptford.  So home and to bed without seeing of them.  I hear to-night
+that the Duke of York's son is this day dead, which I believe will please
+every body; and I hear that the Duke and his Lady themselves are not much
+troubled at it.
+
+7th.  In the morning to Mr. Coventry, Sir G. Carteret, and my Lord's to
+give them an account of my return.  My Lady, I find, is, since my going,
+gone to the Wardrobe.  Then with Mr. Creed into London, to several places
+about his and my business, being much stopped in our way by the City
+traynebands, who go in much solemnity and pomp this day to muster before
+the King and the Duke, and shops in the City are shut up every where all
+this day.  He carried me to an ordinary by the Old Exchange, where we come
+a little too late, but we had very good cheer for our 18d. a-piece, and an
+excellent droll too, my host, and his wife so fine a woman; and sung and
+played so well that I staid a great while and drunk a great deal of wine.
+Then home and staid among my workmen all day, and took order for things
+for the finishing of their work, and so at night to Sir W. Batten's, and
+there supped and so home and to bed, having sent my Lord a letter to-night
+to excuse myself for not going with him to-morrow to the Hope, whither he
+is to go to see in what condition the fleet is in.
+
+8th.  This morning came my brother John to take his leave of me, he being
+to return to Cambridge to-morrow, and after I had chid him for going with
+my Will the other day to Deptford with the principal officers, I did give
+him some good counsell and 20s. in money, and so he went away.  All this
+day I staid at home with my workmen without eating anything, and took much
+pleasure to see my work go forward.  At night comes my wife not well from
+my father's, having had a fore-tooth drawn out to-day, which do trouble
+me, and the more because I am now in the greatest of all my dirt. My Will
+also returned to-night pretty well, he being gone yesterday not very well
+to his father's.  To-day I received a letter from my uncle, to beg an old
+fiddle of me for my Cozen Perkin, the miller, whose mill the wind hath
+lately broke down, and now he hath nothing to live by but fiddling, and he
+must needs have it against Whitsuntide to play to the country girls; but
+it vexed me to see how my uncle writes to me, as if he were not able to
+buy him one.  But I intend tomorrow to send him one.  At night I set down
+my journal of my late journey to this time, and so to bed.  My wife not
+being well and I very angry with her for her coming hither in that
+condition.
+
+9th.  With my workmen all the morning, my wife being ill and in great pain
+with her old pain, which troubled me much because that my house is in this
+condition of dirt.  In the afternoon I went to Whitehall and there spoke
+with my Lord at his lodgings, and there being with him my Lord
+Chamberlain, I spoke for my old waterman Payne, to get into White's place,
+who was waterman to my Lord Chamberlain, and is now to go master of the
+barge to my Lord to sea, and my Lord Chamberlain did promise that Payne
+should be entertained in White's place with him.  From thence to Sir G.
+Carteret, and there did get his promise for the payment of the remainder
+of the bill of Mr. Creed's, wherein of late I have been so much concerned,
+which did so much rejoice me that I meeting with Mr. Childe took him to
+the Swan Tavern in King Street, and there did give him a tankard of white
+wine and sugar,--[The popular taste was formerly for sweet wines, and
+sugar was frequently mixed with the wine.]--and so I went by water home
+and set myself to get my Lord's accounts made up, which was till nine at
+night before I could finish, and then I walked to the Wardrobe, being the
+first time I was there since my Lady came thither, who I found all alone,
+and so she shewed me all the lodgings as they are now fitted, and they
+seem pretty pleasant.  By and by comes in my Lord, and so, after looking
+over my accounts, I returned home, being a dirty and dark walk.  So to
+bed.
+
+10th.  At the office all the morning, and the afternoon among my workmen
+with great pleasure, because being near an end of their work.  This
+afternoon came Mr. Blackburn and Creed to see me, and I took them to the
+Dolphin, and there drank a great deal of Rhenish wine with them and so
+home, having some talk with Mr. Blackburn about his kinsman my Will, and
+he did give me good satisfaction in that it is his desire that his kinsman
+should do me all service, and that he would give him the best counsel he
+could to make him good.  Which I begin of late to fear that he will not
+because of the bad company that I find that he do begin to take. This
+afternoon Mr. Hater received for me the L225 due upon Mr. Creed's bill in
+which I am concerned so much, which do make me very glad.  At night to Sir
+W. Batten and sat a while.  So to bed.
+
+11th.  This morning I went by water with Payne (Mr. Moore being with me)
+to my Lord Chamberlain at Whitehall, and there spoke with my Lord, and he
+did accept of Payne for his waterman, as I had lately endeavoured to get
+him to be.  After that Mr. Cooling did give Payne an order to be
+entertained, and so I left him and Mr. Moore, and I went to Graye's Inne,
+and there to a barber's, where I was trimmed, and had my haire cut, in
+which I am lately become a little curious, finding that the length of it
+do become me very much.  So, calling at my father's, I went home, and
+there staid and saw my workmen follow their work, which this night is
+brought to a very good condition.  This afternoon Mr. Shepley, Moore, and
+Creed came to me all about their several accounts with me, and we did
+something with them all, and so they went away.  This evening Mr. Hater
+brought my last quarter's salary, of which I was very glad, because I have
+lost my first bill for it, and so this morning was forced to get another
+signed by three of my fellow officers for it.  All this evening till late
+setting my accounts and papers in order, and so to bed.
+
+12th.  My wife had a very troublesome night this night and in great pain,
+but about the morning her swelling broke, and she was in great ease
+presently as she useth to be.  So I put in a vent (which Dr. Williams sent
+me yesterday) into the hole to keep it open till all the matter be come
+out, and so I question not that she will soon be well again.  I staid at
+home all this morning, being the Lord's day, making up my private accounts
+and setting papers in order.  At noon went with my Lady Montagu at the
+Wardrobe, but I found it so late that I came back again, and so dined with
+my wife in her chamber.  After dinner I went awhile to my chamber to set
+my papers right.  Then I walked forth towards Westminster and at the Savoy
+heard Dr. Fuller preach upon David's words, "I will wait with patience all
+the days of my appointed time until my change comes;" but methought it was
+a poor dry sermon.  And I am afeard my former high esteem of his preaching
+was more out of opinion than judgment. From thence homewards, but met with
+Mr. Creed, with whom I went and walked in Grayes-Inn-walks, and from
+thence to Islington, and there eat and drank at the house my father and we
+were wont of old to go to; and after that walked homeward, and parted in
+Smithfield: and so I home, much wondering to see how things are altered
+with Mr. Creed, who, twelve months ago, might have been got to hang
+himself almost as soon as go to a drinking-house on a Sunday.
+
+13th.  All the morning at home among my workmen.  At noon Mr. Creed and I
+went to the ordinary behind the Exchange, where we lately were, but I do
+not like it so well as I did.  So home with him and to the office, where
+we sat late, and he did deliver his accounts to us.  The office being done
+I went home and took pleasure to see my work draw to an end.
+
+14th.  Up early and by water to Whitehall to my Lord, and there had much
+talk with him about getting some money for him.  He told me of his
+intention to get the Muster Master's place for Mr. Pierce, the purser, who
+he has a mind to carry to sea with him, and spoke very slightingly of Mr.
+Creed, as that he had no opinion at all of him, but only he was forced to
+make use of him because of his present accounts.  Thence to drink with Mr.
+Shepley and Mr. Pinkny, and so home and among my workmen all day.  In the
+evening Mr. Shepley came to me for some money, and so he and I to the
+Mitre, and there we had good wine and a gammon of bacon.  My uncle Wight,
+Mr. Talbot, and others were with us, and we were pretty merry.  So at
+night home and to bed.  Finding my head grow weak now-a-days if I come to
+drink wine, and therefore hope that I shall leave it off of myself, which
+I pray God I could do.
+
+15th.  With my workmen all day till the afternoon, and then to the office,
+where Mr. Creed's accounts were passed.  Home and found all my joyner's
+work now done, but only a small job or two, which please me very well.
+This afternoon there came two men with an order from a Committee of Lords
+to demand some books of me out of the office, in order to the examining of
+Mr. Hutchinson's accounts, but I give them a surly answer, and they went
+away to complain, which put me into some trouble with myself, but I
+resolve to go to-morrow myself to these Lords and answer them.  To bed,
+being in great fear because of the shavings which lay all up and down the
+house and cellar, for fear of fire.
+
+16th.  Up early to see whether the work of my house be quite done, and I
+found it to my mind.  Staid at home all the morning, and about 2 o'clock
+went in my velvet coat by water to the Savoy, and there, having staid a
+good while, I was called into the Lords, and there, quite contrary to my
+expectations, they did treat me very civilly, telling me that what they
+had done was out of zeal to the King's service, and that they would joyne
+with the governors of the chest with all their hearts, since they knew
+that there was any, which they did not before.  I give them very
+respectful answer and so went away to the Theatre, and there saw the
+latter end of "The Mayd's Tragedy," which I never saw before, and methinks
+it is too sad and melancholy.  Thence homewards, and meeting Mr. Creed I
+took him by water to the Wardrobe with me, and there we found my Lord
+newly gone away with the Duke of Ormond and some others, whom he had had
+to the collation; and so we, with the rest of the servants in the hall,
+sat down and eat of the best cold meats that ever I eat on in all my life.
+From thence I went home (Mr. Moore with me to the waterside, telling me
+how kindly he is used by my Lord and my Lady since his coming hither as a
+servant), and to bed.
+
+17th.  All the morning at home.  At noon Lieutenant Lambert came to me,
+and he and I to the Exchange, and thence to an ordinary over against it,
+where to our dinner we had a fellow play well upon the bagpipes and
+whistle like a bird exceeding well, and I had a fancy to learn to whistle
+as he do, and did promise to come some other day and give him an angell to
+teach me.  To the office, and sat there all the afternoon till 9 at night.
+So home to my musique, and my wife and I sat singing in my chamber a good
+while together, and then to bed.
+
+18th.  Towards Westminster, from the Towre, by water, and was fain to
+stand upon one of the piers about the bridge,
+
+     [The dangers of shooting the bridge were so great that a popular
+     proverb has it--London Bridge was made for wise men to go over and
+     fools to go under.]
+
+before the men could drag their boat through the lock, and which they
+could not do till another was called to help them.  Being through bridge I
+found the Thames full of boats and gallys, and upon inquiry found that
+there was a wager to be run this morning.  So spying of Payne in a gully,
+I went into him, and there staid, thinking to have gone to Chelsy with
+them.  But upon, the start, the wager boats fell foul one of another, till
+at last one of them gives over, pretending foul play, and so the other row
+away alone, and all our sport lost. So, I went ashore, at Westminster; and
+to the Hall I went, where it was very pleasant to see the Hall in the
+condition it is now with the judges on the benches at the further end of
+it, which I had not seen all this term till now. Thence with Mr. Spicer,
+Creed and some others to drink.  And so away homewards by water with Mr.
+Creed, whom I left in London going about business and I home, where I
+staid all the afternoon in the garden reading "Faber Fortunae" with great
+pleasure. So home to bed.
+
+19th.  (Lord's day) I walked in the morning towards Westminster, and
+seeing many people at York House, I went down and found them at mass, it
+being the Spanish ambassodors; and so I go into one of the gallerys, and
+there heard two masses done, I think, not in so much state as I have seen
+them heretofore. After that into the garden, and walked a turn or two, but
+found it not so fine a place as I always took it for by the outside.
+Thence to my Lord's and there spake with him about business, and then he
+went to Whitehall to dinner, and Capt. Ferrers and Mr. Howe and myself to
+Mr. Wilkinson's at the Crown, and though he had no meat of his own, yet we
+happened to find our cook Mr. Robinson there, who had a dinner for himself
+and some friends, and so he did give us a very fine dinner.  Then to my
+Lord's, where we went and sat talking and laughing in the drawing-room a
+great while.  All our talk about their going to sea this voyage, which
+Capt. Ferrers is in some doubt whether he shall go or no, but swears that
+he would go, if he were sure never to come back again; and I, giving him
+some hopes, he grew so mad with joy that he fell a-dancing and leaping
+like a madman.  Now it fell out so that the balcone windows were open, and
+he went to the rayle and made an offer to leap over, and asked what if he
+should leap over there.  I told him I would give him L40 if he did not go
+to sea.  With that thought I shut the doors, and W. Howe hindered him all
+we could; yet he opened them again, and, with a vault, leaps down into the
+garden:--the greatest and most desperate frolic that ever I saw in my
+life.  I run to see what was become of him, and we found him crawled upon
+his knees, but could not rise; so we went down into the garden and dragged
+him to the bench, where he looked like a dead man, but could not stir;
+and, though he had broke nothing, yet his pain in his back was such as he
+could not endure.  With this, my Lord (who was in the little new room)
+come to us in amaze, and bid us carry him up, which, by our strength, we
+did, and so laid him in East's bed, by the door; where he lay in great
+pain.  We sent for a doctor and chyrurgeon, but none to be found, till
+by-and-by by chance comes in Dr. Clerke, who is afeard of him.  So we sent
+to get a lodging for him, and I went up to my Lord, where Captain Cooke,
+Mr. Gibbons, and others of the King's musicians were come to present my
+Lord with some songs and symphonys, which were performed very finely.
+Which being done I took leave and supped at my father's, where was my
+cozen Beck come lately out of the country.  I am troubled to see my father
+so much decay of a suddain, as he do both in his seeing and hearing, and
+as much to hear of him how my brother Tom do grow disrespectful to him and
+my mother. I took leave and went home, where to prayers (which I have not
+had in my house a good while), and so to bed.
+
+20th.  At home all the morning; paid L50 to one Mr. Grant for Mr. Barlow,
+for the last half year, and was visited by Mr. Anderson, my former chamber
+fellow at Cambridge, with whom I parted at the Hague, but I did not go
+forthwith him, only gave him a morning draft at home.  At noon Mr. Creed
+came to me, and he and I to the Exchange, and so to an ordinary to dinner,
+and after dinner to the Mitre, and there sat drinking while it rained very
+much.  Then to the office, where I found Sir Williams both, choosing of
+masters for the new fleet of ships that is ordered to be set forth, and
+Pen seeming to be in an ugly humour, not willing to gratify one that I
+mentioned to be put in, did vex me.  We sat late, and so home. Mr. Moore
+came to me when I was going to bed, and sat with me a good while talking
+about my Lord's business and our own and so good night.
+
+21st.  Up early, and, with Sir R. Slingsby (and Major Waters the deaf
+gentleman, his friend, for company's sake) to the Victualling-office (the
+first time that I ever knew where it was), and there staid while he read a
+commission for enquiry into some of the King's lands and houses
+thereabouts, that are given his brother.  And then we took boat to
+Woolwich, where we staid and gave order for the fitting out of some more
+ships presently.  And then to Deptford, where we staid and did the same;
+and so took barge again, and were overtaken by the King in his barge, he
+having been down the river with his yacht this day for pleasure to try it;
+and, as I hear, Commissioner Pett's do prove better than the Dutch one,
+and that that his brother built.  While we were upon the water, one of the
+greatest showers of rain fell that ever I saw. The Comptroller and I
+landed with our barge at the Temple, and from thence I went to my
+father's, and there did give order about some clothes to be made, and did
+buy a new hat, cost between 20 and 30 shillings, at Mr. Holden's.  So
+home.
+
+22nd.  To Westminster, and there missed of my Lord, and so about noon I
+and W. Howe by water to the Wardrobe, where my Lord and all the officers
+of the Wardrobe dined, and several other friends of my Lord, at a venison
+pasty. Before dinner, my Lady Wright and my Lady Jem. sang songs to the
+harpsicon. Very pleasant and merry at dinner.  And then I went away by
+water to the office, and there staid till it was late.  At night before I
+went to bed the barber came to trim me and wash me, and so to bed, in
+order to my being clean to-morrow.
+
+23rd.  This day I went to my Lord, and about many other things at
+Whitehall, and there made even my accounts with Mr. Shepley at my Lord's,
+and then with him and Mr. Moore and John Bowles to the Rhenish wine house,
+and there came Jonas Moore, the mathematician, to us, and there he did by
+discourse make us fully believe that England and France were once the same
+continent, by very good arguments, and spoke very many things, not so much
+to prove the Scripture false as that the time therein is not well computed
+nor understood.  From thence home by water, and there shifted myself into
+my black silk suit (the first day I have put it on this year), and so to
+my Lord Mayor's by coach, with a great deal of honourable company, and
+great entertainment.  At table I had very good discourse with Mr. Ashmole,
+wherein he did assure me that frogs and many insects do often fall from
+the sky, ready formed.  Dr. Bates's singularity in not rising up nor
+drinking the King's nor other healths at the table was very much observed.
+
+     [Dr. William Bates, one of the most eminent of the Puritan divines,
+     and who took part in the Savoy Conference.  His collected writings
+     were published in 1700, and fill a large folio volume.  The
+     Dissenters called him silver-tongued Bates.  Calamy affirmed that if
+     Bates would have conformed to the Established Church he might have
+     been raised to any bishopric in the kingdom.  He died in 1699, aged
+     seventy-four.]
+
+From thence we all took coach, and to our office, and there sat till it
+was late; and so I home and to bed by day-light.  This day was kept a
+holy-day through the town; and it pleased me to see the little boys walk
+up and down in procession with their broom-staffs in their hands, as I had
+myself long ago gone.
+
+     [Pepys here refers to the perambulation of parishes on Holy
+     Thursday, still observed.  This ceremony was sometimes enlivened by
+     whipping the boys, for the better impressing on their minds the
+     remembrance of the day, and the boundaries of the parish, instead of
+     beating houses or stones. But this would not have harmonized well
+     with the excellent Hooker's practice on this day, when he "always
+     dropped some loving and facetious observations, to be remembered
+     against the next year, especially by the boys and young people."
+     Amongst Dorsetshire customs, it seems that, in perambulating a manor
+     or parish, a boy is tossed into a stream, if that be the boundary;
+     if a hedge, a sapling from it is applied for the purpose of
+     flagellation.--B.]
+
+24th.  At home all the morning making up my private accounts, and this is
+the first time that I do find myself to be clearly worth L500 in money,
+besides all my goods in my house, &c.  In the afternoon at the office
+late, and then I went to the Wardrobe, where I found my Lord at supper,
+and therefore I walked a good while till he had done, and I went in to
+him, and there he looked over my accounts.  And they were committed to Mr.
+Moore to see me paid what remained due to me.  Then down to the kitchen to
+eat a bit of bread and butter, which I did, and there I took one of the
+maids by the chin, thinking her to be Susan, but it proved to be her
+sister, who is very like her.  From thence home.
+
+25th.  All the morning at home about business.  At noon to the Temple,
+where I staid and looked over a book or two at Playford's, and then to the
+Theatre, where I saw a piece of "The Silent Woman," which pleased me. So
+homewards, and in my way bought "The Bondman" in Paul's Churchyard, and so
+home, where I found all clean, and the hearth and range, as it is now
+enlarged, set up, which pleases me very much.
+
+26th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed.  To church and heard a good sermon at
+our own church, where I have not been a great many weeks.  Dined with my
+wife alone at home pleasing myself in that my house do begin to look as if
+at last it would be in good order.  This day the Parliament received the
+communion of Dr. Gunning at St. Margaret's, Westminster. In the afternoon
+both the Sir Williams came to church, where we had a dull stranger.  After
+church home, and so to the Mitre, where I found Dr. Burnett, the first
+time that ever I met him to drink with him, and my uncle Wight and there
+we sat and drank a great deal, and so I to Sir W. Batten's, where I have
+on purpose made myself a great stranger, only to get a high opinion a
+little more of myself in them.  Here I heard how Mrs. Browne, Sir W.
+Batten's sister, is brought to bed, and I to be one of the godfathers,
+which I could not nor did deny.  Which, however, did trouble me very much
+to be at charge to no purpose, so that I could not sleep hardly all night,
+but in the morning I bethought myself, and I think it is very well I
+should do it.  Sir W. Batten told me how Mr. Prin (among the two or three
+that did refuse to-day to receive the sacrament upon their knees) was
+offered by a mistake the drink afterwards, which he did receive, being
+denied the drink by Dr. Gunning, unless he would take it on his knees; and
+after that by another the bread was brought him, and he did take it
+sitting, which is thought very preposterous.  Home and to bed.
+
+27th.  To the Wardrobe, and from thence with my Lords Sandwich and
+Hinchinbroke to the Lords' House by boat at Westminster, and there I left
+them.  Then to the lobby, and after waiting for Sir G. Downing's coming
+out, to speak with him about the giving me up of my bond for my honesty
+when I was his clerk, but to no purpose, I went to Clerke's at the Legg,
+and there I found both Mr. Pierces, Mr. Rolt, formerly too great a man to
+meet upon such even terms, and there we dined very merry, there coming to
+us Captain Ferrers, this being the first day of his going abroad since his
+leap a week ago, which I was greatly glad to see. By water to the office,
+and there sat late, Sir George Carteret coming in, who among other things
+did inquire into the naming of the maisters for this fleet, and was very
+angry that they were named as they are, and above all to see the maister
+of the Adventure (for whom there is some kind of difference between Sir W.
+Pen and me) turned out, who has been in her list.  The office done, I went
+with the Comptroller to the Coffee house, and there we discoursed of this,
+and I seem to be fond of him, and indeed I find I must carry fair with all
+as far as I see it safe, but I have got of him leave to have a little room
+from his lodgings to my house, of which I am very glad, besides I do open
+him a way to get lodgings himself in the office, of which I should be very
+glad.  Home and to bed.
+
+28th.  This morning to the Wardrobe, and thence to a little alehouse hard
+by, to drink with John Bowies, who is now going to Hinchinbroke this day.
+Thence with Mr. Shepley to the Exchange about business, and there, by Mr.
+Rawlinson's favour, got into a balcone over against the Exchange; and
+there saw the hangman burn, by vote of Parliament, two old acts, the one
+for constituting us a Commonwealth, and the others I have forgot.  Which
+still do make me think of the greatness of this late turn, and what people
+will do tomorrow against what they all, through profit or fear, did
+promise and practise this day.  Then to the Mitre with Mr. Shepley, and
+there dined with D. Rawlinson and some friends of his very well.  So home,
+and then to Cheapside about buying a piece of plate to give away to-morrow
+to Mrs. Browne's child.  So to the Star in Cheapside, where I left Mr.
+Moore telling L5 out for me, who I found in a great strait for my coming
+back again, and so he went his way at my coming.  Then home, where Mr.
+Cook I met and he paid me 30s., an old debt of his to me.  So to Sir W.
+Pen's, and there sat alone with him till ten at night in talk with great
+content, he telling me things and persons that I did not understand in the
+late times, and so I home to bed.  My cozen John Holcroft (whom I have not
+seen many years) this morning came to see me.
+
+29th (King's birth-day).  Rose early and having made myself fine, and put
+six spoons and a porringer of silver in my pocket to give away to-day, Sir
+W. Pen and I took coach, and (the weather and ways being foul) went to
+Walthamstowe; and being come there heard Mr. Radcliffe, my former school
+fellow at Paul's (who is yet a mere boy), preach upon "Nay, let him take
+all, since my Lord the King is returned," &c.  He reads all, and his
+sermon very simple, but I looked for new matter.  Back to dinner to Sir
+William Batten's; and then, after a walk in the fine gardens, we went to
+Mrs. Browne's, where Sir W. Pen and I were godfathers, and Mrs. Jordan and
+Shipman godmothers to her boy.  And there, before and after the
+christening; we were with the woman above in her chamber; but whether we
+carried ourselves well or ill, I know not; but I was directed by young
+Mrs. Batten.  One passage of a lady that eat wafers with her dog did a
+little displease me.  I did give the midwife 10s. and the nurse 5s. and
+the maid of the house 2s.  But for as much I expected to give the name to
+the child, but did not (it being called John), I forbore then to give my
+plate till another time after a little more advice.  All being done, we
+went to Mrs. Shipman's, who is a great butter-woman, and I did see there
+the most of milk and cream, and the cleanest that ever I saw in my life.
+After we had filled our bellies with cream, we took our leaves and away.
+In our way, we had great sport to try who should drive fastest, Sir W.
+Batten's coach, or Sir W. Pen's chariott, they having four, and we two
+horses, and we beat them.  But it cost me the spoiling of my clothes and
+velvet coat with dirt.  Being come home I to bed, and give my breeches to
+be dried by the fire against to-morrow.
+
+30th.  To the Wardrobe and there, with my Lord, went into his new barge to
+try her, and found her a good boat, and like my Lord's contrivance of the
+door to come out round and not square as they used to do.  Back to the
+Wardrobe with my Lord, and then with Mr. Moore to the Temple, and thence
+to.  Greatorex, who took me to Arundell-House, and there showed me some
+fine flowers in his garden, and all the fine statues in the gallery, which
+I formerly had seen, and is a brave sight, and thence to a blind dark
+cellar, where we had two bottles of good ale, and so after giving him
+direction for my silver side-table, I took boat at Arundell stairs, and
+put in at Milford .  .  .  . So home and found Sir Williams both and my
+Lady going to Deptford to christen Captain Rooth's child, and would have
+had me with them, but I could not go.  To the office, where Sir R.
+Slingsby was, and he and I into his and my lodgings to take a view of
+them, out of a desire he has to have mine of me to join to his, and give
+me Mr. Turner's. To the office again, where Sir G. Carteret came and sat a
+while, he being angry for Sir Williams making of the maisters of this
+fleet upon their own heads without a full table.  Then the Comptroller and
+I to the Coffee House, and there sat a great while talking of many things.
+So home and to bed.  This day, I hear, the Parliament have ordered a bill
+to be brought in for the restoring the Bishops to the House of Lords;
+which they had not done so soon but to spite Mr. Prin, who is every day so
+bitter against them in his discourse in the House.
+
+31st.  I went to my father's thinking to have met with my cozen John
+Holcroft, but he came not, but to my great grief I found my father and
+mother in a great deal of discontent one with another, and indeed my
+mother is grown now so pettish that I know not how my father is able to
+bear with it.  I did talk to her so as did not indeed become me, but I
+could not help it, she being so unsufferably foolish and simple, so that
+my father, poor man, is become a very unhappy man.  There I dined, and so
+home and to the office all the afternoon till 9 at night, and then home
+and to supper and to bed.  Great talk now how the Parliament intend to
+make a collection of free gifts to the King through the Kingdom; but I
+think it will not come to much.

+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project

+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

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

+all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
+copyright notice is included. Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any
+of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to send us error messages even years after
+the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net

+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can surf to them as follows, and just download by date; this is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

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

+                                   1661
+
+
+April 1st, 1661.  This day my waiting at the Privy Seal comes in again.Up early
+among my workmen.  So to the once, and went home to dinner with
+Sir W. Batten, and after that to the Goat tavern by Charing Cross to meet
+Dr. Castle, where he and I drank a pint of wine and talked about Privy
+Seal business.  Then to the Privy Seal Office and there found Mr. Moore,
+but no business yet.  Then to Whitefryars, and there saw part of "Rule a
+wife and have a wife," which I never saw before, but do not like it.  So
+to my father, and there finding a discontent between my father and mother
+about the maid (which my father likes and my mother dislikes), I staid
+till 10 at night, persuading my mother to understand herself, and that in
+some high words, which I was sorry for, but she is grown, poor woman,
+very froward.  So leaving them in the same discontent I went away home,
+it being a brave moonshine, and to bed.
+
+
+
+2d.  Among my workmen early and then along with my wife and Pall to my
+Father's by coach there to have them lie a while till my house be done.
+I found my mother alone weeping upon my last night's quarrel and so left
+her, and took my wife to Charing Cross and there left her to see her
+mother who is not well.  So I into St. James's Park, where I saw the Duke
+of York playing at Pelemele,
+
+     [The game was originally played in the road now styled Pall Mall,
+     near St. James's Square, but at the Restoration when sports came in
+     fashion again the street was so much built over, that it became
+     necessary to find another ground.  The Mall in St. James's Park was
+     then laid out for the purpose.]
+
+ the first time that ever I saw the sport.  Then to my Lord's, where I
+dined with my Lady, and after we had dined in comes my Lord and Ned
+Pickering hungry, and there was not a bit of meat left in the house, the
+servants having eat up all, at which my Lord was very angry, and at last
+got something dressed.  Then to the Privy Seal, and signed some things,
+and so to White-fryars and saw "The Little Thiefe," which is a very merry
+and pretty play, and the little boy do very well.  Then to my Father's,
+where I found my mother and my wife in a very good mood, and so left them
+and went home.  Then to the Dolphin to Sir W. Batten, and Pen, and other
+company; among others Mr. Delabar; where strange how these men, who at
+other times are all wise men, do now, in their drink, betwitt and
+reproach one another with their former conditions, and their actions as
+in public concernments, till I was ashamed to see it.  But parted all
+friends at 12 at night after drinking a great deal of wine.  So home and
+alone to bed.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Up among my workmen, my head akeing all day from last night's
+debauch. To the office all the morning, and at noon dined with Sir W.
+Batten and Pen, who would needs have me drink two drafts of sack to-day
+to cure me of last night's disease, which I thought strange but I think
+find it true.
+
+     [The proverb, "A hair of the dog that bit you," which probably had
+     originally a literal meaning, has long been used to inculcate the
+     advice of the two Sir Williams.]
+
+Then home with my workmen all the afternoon, at night into the garden to
+play on my flageolette, it being moonshine, where I staid a good while,
+and so home and to bed.  This day I hear that the Dutch have sent the
+King a great present of money, which we think will stop the match with
+Portugal; and judge this to be the reason that our so great haste in
+sending the two ships to the East Indys is also stayed.
+
+
+
+4th.  To my workmen, then to my Lord's, and there dined with Mr. Shepley.
+After dinner I went in to my Lord and there we had a great deal of
+musique, and then came my cozen Tom Pepys and there did accept of the
+security which we gave him for his L1000 that we borrow of him, and so
+the money to be paid next week. Then to the Privy Seal, and so with Mr.
+Moore to my father's, where some friends did sup there and we with them
+and late went home, leaving my wife still there.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+5th: Up among my workmen and so to the office, and then to Sir W. Pen's
+with the other Sir William and Sir John Lawson to dinner, and after that,
+with them to Mr. Lucy's, a merchant, where much good company, and there
+drank a great deal of wine, and in discourse fell to talk of the weight
+of people, which did occasion some wagers, and where, among others, I won
+half a piece to be spent. Then home, and at night to Sir W. Batten's, and
+there very merry with a good barrell of oysters, and this is the present
+life I lead.  Home and to bed.
+
+
+
+6th.  Up among my workmen, then to Whitehall, and there at Privy Seal and
+elsewhere did business, and among other things met with Mr. Townsend, who
+told of his mistake the other day, to put both his legs through one of
+his knees of his breeches, and went so all day.  Then with Mr. Creed and
+Moore to the Leg in the Palace to dinner which I gave them, and after
+dinner I saw the girl of the house, being very pretty, go into a chamber,
+and I went in after her and kissed her.  Then by water, Creed and I, to
+Salisbury Court and there saw "Love's Quarrell" acted the first time, but
+I do not like the design or words.  So calling at my father's, where they
+and my wife well, and so home and to bed.
+
+
+
+7th (Lord's day).  All the morning at home making up my accounts (God
+forgive me!) to give up to my Lord this afternoon.  Then about 11 o'clock
+out of doors towards Westminster and put in at Paul's, where I saw our
+minister, Mr. Mills, preaching before my Lord Mayor.  So to White Hall,
+and there I met with Dr. Fuller of Twickenham, newly come from Ireland;
+and took him to my Lord's, where he and I dined; and he did give my Lord
+and me a good account of the condition of Ireland, and how it come to
+pass, through the joyning of the Fanatiques and the Presbyterians, that
+the latter and the former are in their declaration put together under the
+names of Fanatiques.  After dinner, my Lord and I and Mr. Shepley did
+look over our accounts and settle matters of money between us; and my
+Lord did tell me much of his mind about getting money and other things of
+his family, &c.  Then to my father's, where I found Mr. Hunt and his wife
+at supper with my father and mother and my wife, where after supper I
+left them and so home, and then I went to Sir W. Batten's and resolved of
+a journey tomorrow to Chatham, and so home and to bed.
+
+
+
+8th.  Up early, my Lady Batten knocking at her door that comes into one
+of my chambers.  I did give directions to my people and workmen, and so
+about 8 o'clock we took barge at the Tower, Sir William Batten and his
+lady, Mrs. Turner, Mr. Fowler and I.  A very pleasant passage and so to
+Gravesend, where we dined, and from thence a coach took them and me, and
+Mr. Fowler with some others came from Rochester to meet us, on horseback.
+At Rochester, where alight at Mr. Alcock's and there drank and had good
+sport, with his bringing out so many sorts of cheese.  Then to the
+Hillhouse at Chatham, where I never was before, and I found a pretty
+pleasant house and am pleased with the arms that hang up there.  Here we
+supped very merry, and late to bed; Sir William telling me that old
+Edgeborrow, his predecessor, did die and walk in my chamber, did make me
+some what afeard, but not so much as for mirth's sake I did seem.  So to
+bed in the treasurer's chamber.
+
+
+
+9th.  And lay and slept well till 3 in the morning, and then waking, and
+by the light of the moon I saw my pillow (which overnight I flung from
+me) stand upright, but not bethinking myself what it might be, I was a
+little afeard, but sleep overcame all and so lay till high morning, at
+which time I had a candle brought me and a good fire made, and in general
+it was a great pleasure all the time I staid here to see how I am
+respected and honoured by all people; and I find that I begin to know now
+how to receive so much reverence, which at the beginning I could not tell
+how to do.  Sir William and I by coach to the dock and there viewed all
+the storehouses and the old goods that are this day to be sold, which was
+great pleasure to me, and so back again by coach home, where we had a
+good dinner, and among other strangers that come, there was Mr. Hempson
+and his wife, a pretty woman, and speaks Latin; Mr. Allen and two
+daughters of his, both very tall and the youngest very handsome, so much
+as I could not forbear to love her exceedingly, having, among other
+things, the best hand that ever I saw.  After dinner, we went to fit
+books and things (Tom Hater being this morning come to us) for the sale,
+by an inch of candle, and very good sport we and the ladies that stood by
+had, to see the people bid.  Among other things sold there was all the
+State's arms, which Sir W. Batten bought; intending to set up some of the
+images in his garden, and the rest to burn on the Coronacion night.  The
+sale being done, the ladies and I and Captain Pett and Mr. Castle took
+barge and down we went to see the Sovereign, which we did, taking great
+pleasure therein, singing all the way, and, among other pleasures, I put
+my Lady, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Hempson, and the two Mrs. Allens into the
+lanthorn and I went in and kissed them, demanding it as a fee due to a
+principall officer, with all which we were exceeding merry, and drunk
+some bottles of wine and neat's tongue, &c.  Then back again home and so
+supped, and after much mirth to bed.
+
+
+
+10th.  In the morning to see the Dockhouses.  First, Mr. Pett's, the
+builder, and there was very kindly received, and among other things he
+did offer my Lady Batten a parrot, the best I ever saw, that knew Mingo
+so soon as it saw him, having been bred formerly in the house with them;
+but for talking and singing I never heard the like.  My Lady did accept
+of it: Then to see Commissioner Pett's house, he and his family being
+absent, and here I wondered how my Lady Batten walked up and down with
+envious looks to see how neat and rich everything is (and indeed both the
+house and garden is most handsome), saying that she would get it, for it
+belonged formerly to the Surveyor of the Navy. Then on board the Prince,
+now in the dock, and indeed it has one and no more rich cabins for carved
+work, but no gold in her.  After that back home, and there eat a little
+dinner.  Then to Rochester, and there saw the Cathedrall, which is now
+fitting for use, and the organ then a-tuning.  Then away thence,
+observing the great doors of the church, which, they say, was covered
+with the skins of the Danes,
+
+     [Traditions similar to that at Rochester, here alluded to, are to be
+     found in other places in England.  Sir Harry Englefield, in a
+     communication made to the Society of Antiquaries, July 2nd, 1789,
+     called attention to the curious popular tale preserved in the
+     village of Hadstock, Essex, that the door of the church had been
+     covered with the skin of a Danish pirate, who had plundered the
+     church.  At Worcester, likewise, it was asserted that the north
+     doors of the cathedral had been covered with the skin of a person
+     who had sacrilegiously robbed the high altar.  The date of these
+     doors appears to be the latter part of the fourteenth century, the
+     north porch having been built about 1385.  Dart, in his "History of
+     the Abbey Church of St. Peter's, Westminster," 1723 (vol. i., book
+     ii., p. 64), relates a like tradition then preserved in reference to
+     a door, one of three which closed off a chamber from the south
+     transept--namely, a certain building once known as the Chapel of
+     Henry VIII., and used as a "Revestry."  This chamber, he states, "is
+     inclosed with three doors, the inner cancellated, the middle, which
+     is very thick, lined with skins like parchment, and driven full of
+     nails.  These skins, they by tradition tell us, were some skins of
+     the Danes, tann'd and given here as a memorial of our delivery from
+     them."  Portions of this supposed human skin were examined under the
+     microscope by the late Mr. John Quekett of the Hunterian Museum, who
+     ascertained, beyond question, that in each of the cases the skin was
+     human.  From a communication by the late Mr. Albert Way, F.S.A., to
+     the late Lord Braybrooke.]
+
+and also had much mirth at a tomb, on which was "Come sweet Jesu," and I
+read "Come sweet Mall," &c., at which Captain Pett and I had good
+laughter.  So to the Salutacion tavern, where Mr. Alcock and many of the
+town came and entertained us with wine and oysters and other things, and
+hither come Sir John Minnes to us, who is come to-day to see "the
+Henery," in which he intends to ride as Vice-Admiral in the narrow seas
+all this summer.  Here much mirth, but I was a little troubled to stay
+too long, because of going to Hempson's, which afterwards we did, and
+found it in all things a most pretty house, and rarely furnished, only it
+had a most ill access on all sides to it, which is a greatest fault that
+I think can be in a house.  Here we had, for my sake, two fiddles, the
+one a base viall, on which he that played, played well some lyra lessons,
+but both together made the worst musique that ever I heard.  We had a
+fine collacion, but I took little pleasure in that, for the illness of
+the musique and for the intentness of my mind upon Mrs. Rebecca Allen.
+After we had done eating, the ladies went to dance, and among the men we
+had, I was forced to dance too; and did make an ugly shift.  Mrs. R.
+Allen danced very well, and seems the best humoured woman that ever I
+saw.  About 9 o'clock Sir William and my Lady went home, and we continued
+dancing an hour or two, and so broke up very pleasant and merry, and so
+walked home, I leading Mrs. Rebecca, who seemed, I know not why, in that
+and other things, to be desirous of my favours and would in all things
+show me respects.  Going home, she would needs have me sing, and I did
+pretty well and was highly esteemed by them.  So to Captain Allen's
+(where we were last night, and heard him play on the harpsicon, and I
+find him to be a perfect good musician), and there, having no mind to
+leave Mrs. Rebecca, what with talk and singing (her father and I), Mrs.
+Turner and I staid there till 2 o'clock in the morning and was most
+exceeding merry, and I had the opportunity of kissing Mrs. Rebecca very
+often.  Among other things Captain Pett was saying that he thought that
+he had got his wife with child since I came thither.  Which I took hold
+of and was merrily asking him what he would take to have it said for my
+honour that it was of my getting?  He merrily answered that he would if I
+would promise to be godfather to it if it did come within the time just,
+and I said that I would.  So that I must remember to compute it when the
+time comes.
+
+
+
+11th.  At 2 o'clock, with very great mirth, we went to our lodging and to
+bed, and lay till 7, and then called up by Sir W. Batten, so I arose and
+we did some business, and then came Captn. Allen, and he and I withdrew
+and sang a song or two, and among others took pleasure in "Goe and bee
+hanged, that's good-bye." The young ladies come too, and so I did again
+please myself with Mrs. Rebecca, and about 9 o'clock, after we had
+breakfasted, we sett forth for London, and indeed I was a little troubled
+to part with Mrs. Rebecca, for which God forgive me.  Thus we went away
+through Rochester, calling and taking leave of Mr. Alcock at the door,
+Capt. Cuttance going with us.  We baited at Dartford, and thence to
+London, but of all the journeys that ever I made this was the merriest,
+and I was in a strange mood for mirth.
+
+Among other things, I got my Lady to let her maid, Mrs. Anne, to ride all
+the way on horseback, and she rides exceeding well; and so I called her
+my clerk, that she went to wait upon me.  I met two little schoolboys
+going with pitchers of ale to their schoolmaster to break up against
+Easter, and I did drink of some of one of them and give him two pence.
+By and by we come to two little girls keeping cows, and I saw one of them
+very pretty, so I had a mind to make her ask my blessing, and telling her
+that I was her godfather, she asked me innocently whether I was not Ned
+Wooding, and I said that I was, so she kneeled down and very simply
+called, "Pray, godfather, pray to God to bless me," which made us very
+merry, and I gave her twopence.  In several places, I asked women whether
+they would sell me their children, but they denied me all, but said they
+would give me one to keep for them, if I would.  Mrs. Anne and I rode
+under the man that hangs upon Shooter's Hill,
+
+     [Shooter's Hill, Kent, between the eighth and ninth milestones on
+     the Dover road.  It was long a notorious haunt of highwaymen.  The
+     custom was to leave the bodies of criminals hanging until the bones
+     fell to the ground.]
+
+and a filthy sight it was to see how his flesh is shrunk to his bones.
+So home and I found all well, and a deal of work done since I went.  I
+sent to see how my wife do, who is well, and my brother John come from
+Cambridge.  To Sir W. Batten's and there supped, and very merry with the
+young ladles.  So to bed very sleepy for last night's work, concluding
+that it is the pleasantest journey in all respects that ever I had in my
+life.
+
+
+
+12th.  Up among my workmen, and about 7 o'clock comes my wife to see me
+and my brother John with her, who I am glad to see, but I sent them away
+because of going to the office, and there dined with Sir W. Batten, all
+fish dinner, it being Good Friday.  Then home and looking over my
+workmen, and then into the City and saw in what forwardness all things
+are for the Coronacion, which will be very magnificent.  Then back again
+home and to my chamber, to set down in my diary all my late journey,
+which I do with great pleasure; and while I am now writing comes one with
+a tickett to invite me to Captain Robert Blake's buriall, for whose death
+I am very sorry, and do much wonder at it, he being a little while since
+a very likely man to live as any I knew.  Since my going out of town,
+there is one Alexander Rosse taken and sent to the Counter by Sir Thomas
+Allen, for counterfeiting my hand to a ticket, and we this day at the
+office have given order to Mr. Smith to prosecute him.  To bed.
+
+
+
+13th.  To Whitehall by water from Towre-wharf, where we could not pass
+the ordinary way, because they were mending of the great stone steps
+against the Coronacion.  With Sir W. Pen, then to my Lord's, and thence
+with Capt. Cuttance and Capt. Clark to drink our morning draught
+together, and before we could get back again my Lord was gone out.  So to
+Whitehall again and, met with my Lord above with the Duke; and after a
+little talk with him, I went to the Banquethouse, and there saw the King
+heal, the first time that ever I saw him do it; which he did with great
+gravity, and it seemed to me to be an ugly office and a simple one.  That
+done to my Lord's and dined there, and so by water with parson Turner
+towards London, and upon my telling of him of Mr. Moore to be a fit man
+to do his business with Bishop Wren, about which he was going, he went
+back out of my boat into another to Whitehall, and so I forwards home and
+there by and by took coach with Sir W. Pen and Captain Terne and went to
+the buriall of Captain Robert Blake, at Wapping, and there had each of us
+a ring, but it being dirty, we would not go to church with them, but with
+our coach we returned home, and there staid a little, and then he and I
+alone to the Dolphin (Sir W. Batten being this day gone with his wife to
+Walthamstow to keep Easter), and there had a supper by ourselves, we both
+being very hungry, and staying there late drinking I became very sleepy,
+and so we went home and I to bed.
+
+
+
+14th (Easter.  Lord's day).  In the morning towards my father's, and by
+the way heard Mr. Jacomb, at Ludgate, upon these words, "Christ loved you
+and therefore let us love one another," and made a lazy sermon, like a
+Presbyterian.  Then to my father's and dined there, and Dr. Fairbrother
+(lately come to town) with us. After dinner I went to the Temple and
+there heard Dr. Griffith, a good sermon for the day; so with Mr. Moore
+(whom I met there) to my Lord's, and there he shewed me a copy of my Lord
+Chancellor's patent for Earl, and I read the preamble, which is very
+short, modest, and good.  Here my Lord saw us and spoke to me about
+getting Mr. Moore to come and govern his house while he goes to sea,
+which I promised him to do and did afterwards speak to Mr. Moore, and he
+is willing.  Then hearing that Mr. Barnwell was come, with some of my
+Lord's little children, yesterday to town, to see the Coronacion, I went
+and found them at the Goat, at Charing Cross, and there I went and drank
+with them a good while, whom I found in very good health and very merry
+Then to my father's, and after supper seemed willing to go home, and my
+wife seeming to be so too I went away in a discontent, but she, poor
+wretch, followed me as far in the rain and dark as Fleet Bridge to fetch
+me back again, and so I did, and lay with her to-night, which I have not
+done these eight or ten days before.
+
+
+
+15th.  From my father's, it being a very foul morning for the King and
+Lords to go to Windsor, I went to the office and there met Mr. Coventry
+and Sir Robt. Slingsby, but did no business, but only appoint to go to
+Deptford together tomorrow.  Mr. Coventry being gone, and I having at
+home laid up L200 which I had brought this morning home from Alderman
+Backwell's, I went home by coach with Sir R. Slingsby and dined with him,
+and had a very good dinner.  His lady' seems a good woman and very
+desirous they were to hear this noon by the post how the election has
+gone at Newcastle, wherein he is concerned, but the letters are not come
+yet.  To my uncle Wight's, and after a little stay with them he and I to
+Mr. Rawlinson's, and there staid all the afternoon, it being very foul,
+and had a little talk with him what good I might make of these ships that
+go to Portugal by venturing some money by them, and he will give me an
+answer to it shortly.  So home and sent for the Barber, and after that to
+bed.
+
+
+
+16th.  So soon as word was brought me that Mr. Coventry was come with the
+barge to the Towre, I went to him, and found him reading of the Psalms in
+short hand (which he is now busy about), and had good sport about the
+long marks that are made there for sentences in divinity, which he is
+never like to make use of. Here he and I sat till the Comptroller came
+and then we put off for Deptford, where we went on board the King's
+pleasure boat that Commissioner Pett is making, and indeed it will be a
+most pretty thing.  From thence to Commr. Pett's lodging, and there had a
+good breakfast, and in came the two Sir Wms. from Walthamstow, and so we
+sat down and did a great deal of public business about the fitting of the
+fleet that is now going out.  That done we went to the Globe and there
+had a good dinner, and by and by took barge again and so home. By the way
+they would have me sing, which I did to Mr. Coventry, who went up to Sir
+William Batten's, and there we staid and talked a good while, and then
+broke up and I home, and then to my father's and there lay with my wife.
+
+
+
+17th.  By land and saw the arches, which are now almost done and are very
+fine, and I saw the picture of the ships and other things this morning,
+set up before the East Indy House, which are well done.  So to the
+office, and that being done I went to dinner with Sir W. Batten, and then
+home to my workmen, and saw them go on with great content to me.  Then
+comes Mr. Allen of Chatham, and I took him to the Mitre and there did
+drink with him, and did get of him the song that pleased me so well there
+the other day, "Of Shitten come Shites the beginning of love."  His
+daughters are to come to town to-morrow, but I know not whether I shall
+see them or no.  That done I went to the Dolphin by appointment and there
+I met Sir Wms. both and Mr. Castle, and did eat a barrel of oysters and
+two lobsters, which I did give them, and were very merry.  Here we had
+great talk of Mr. Warren's being knighted by the King, and Sir W. B.
+seemed to be very much incensed against him.  So home.
+
+
+
+18th.  Up with my workmen and then about 9 o'clock took horse with both
+the Sir Williams for Walthamstow, and there we found my Lady and her
+daughters all; and a pleasant day it was, and all things else, but that
+my Lady was in a bad mood, which we were troubled at, and had she been
+noble she would not have been so with her servants, when we came thither,
+and this Sir W. Pen took notice of, as well as I.  After dinner we all
+went to the Church stile, and there eat and drank, and I was as merry as
+I could counterfeit myself to be.  Then, it raining hard, we left Sir W.
+Batten, and we two returned and called at Mr. ---- and drank some brave
+wine there, and then homewards again and in our way met with two country
+fellows upon one horse, which I did, without much ado, give the way to,
+but Sir W. Pen would not, but struck them and they him, and so passed
+away, but they giving him some high words, he went back again and struck
+them off their horse, in a simple fury, and without much honour, in my
+mind, and so came away.  Home, and I sat with him a good while talking,
+and then home and to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  Among my workmen and then to the office, and after that dined with
+Sir W. Batten, and then home, where Sir W. Warren came, and I took him
+and Mr. Shepley and Moore with me to the Mitre, and there I cleared with
+Warren for the deals I bought lately for my Lord of him, and he went
+away, and we staid afterwards a good while and talked, and so parted, it
+being so foul that I could not go to Whitehall to see the Knights of the
+Bath made to-day, which do trouble me mightily.  So home, and having
+staid awhile till Will came in (with whom I was vexed for staying
+abroad), he comes and then I went by water to my father's, and then after
+supper to bed with my wife.
+
+
+
+20th.  Here comes my boy to tell me that the Duke of York had sent for
+all the principal officers, &c., to come to him to-day.  So I went by
+water to Mr. Coventry's, and there staid and talked a good while with him
+till all the rest come.  We went up and saw the Duke dress himself, and
+in his night habitt he is a very plain man.  Then he sent us to his
+closett, where we saw among other things two very fine chests, covered
+with gold and Indian varnish, given him by the East Indy Company of
+Holland.  The Duke comes; and after he had told us that the fleet was
+designed for Algier (which was kept from us till now), we did advise
+about many things as to the fitting of the fleet, and so went away. And
+from thence to the Privy Seal, where little to do, and after that took
+Mr. Creed and Moore and gave them their morning draught, and after that
+to my Lord's, where Sir W. Pen came to me, and dined with my Lord.  After
+dinner he and others that dined there went away, and then my Lord looked
+upon his pages' and footmen's liverys, which are come home to-day, and
+will be handsome, though not gaudy.  Then with my Lady and my Lady Wright
+to White Hall; and in the Banqueting-house saw the King create my Lord
+Chancellor and several others, Earls, and Mr. Crew and several others,
+Barons: the first being led up by Heralds and five old Earls to the King,
+and there the patent is read, and the King puts on his vest, and sword,
+and coronet, and gives him the patent.  And then he kisseth the King's
+hand, and rises and stands covered before the king. And the same for the
+Barons, only he is led up but by three of the old Barons, and are girt
+with swords before they go to the King.  That being done (which was very
+pleasant to see their habits), I carried my Lady back, and I found my
+Lord angry, for that his page had let my Lord's new beaver be changed for
+an old hat; then I went away, and with Mr. Creed to the Exchange and
+bought some things, as gloves and bandstrings, &c.  So back to the
+Cockpitt, and there, by the favour of one Mr. Bowman, he and I got in,
+and there saw the King and Duke of York and his Duchess (which is a plain
+woman, and like her mother, my Lady Chancellor).  And so saw "The
+Humersome Lieutenant" acted before the King,  but not very well done.
+
+But my pleasure was great to see the manner of it, and so many great
+beauties, but above all Mrs. Palmer, with whom the King do discover a
+great deal of familiarity.  So Mr. Creed and I (the play being done) went
+to Mrs. Harper's, and there sat and drank, it being about twelve at
+night.  The ways being now so dirty, and stopped up with the rayles which
+are this day set up in the streets, I would not go home, but went with
+him to his lodging at Mr. Ware's, and there lay all night.
+
+
+
+21st (Lord's day).  In the morning we were troubled to hear it rain as it
+did, because of the great show tomorrow.  After I was ready I walked to
+my father's and there found the late maid to be gone and another come by
+my mother's choice, which my father do not like, and so great difference
+there will be between my father and mother about it.  Here dined Doctor
+Thos. Pepys and Dr. Fayrebrother; and all our talk about to-morrow's
+show, and our trouble that it is like to be a wet day.  After dinner
+comes in my coz. Snow and his wife, and I think stay there till the show
+be over.  Then I went home, and all the way is so thronged with people to
+see the triumphal arches, that I could hardly pass for them.  So home,
+people being at church, and I got home unseen, and so up to my chamber
+and saw done these last five or six days' diarys.  My mind a little
+troubled about my workmen, which, being foreigners,--[Foreigners were
+workmen dwelling outside the city.]--are like to be troubled by a couple
+of lazy rogues that worked with me the other day, that are citizens, and
+so my work will be hindered, but I must prevent it if I can.
+
+
+
+22d.  KING'S GOING FROM YE TOWER TO WHITE HALL.
+
+     [The king in the early morning of the 22nd went from Whitehall to
+     the Tower by water, so that he might proceed from thence through the
+     City to Westminster Abbey, there to be crowned.]
+
+Up early and made myself as fine as I could, and put on my velvet coat,
+the first day that I put it on, though made half a year ago.  And being
+ready, Sir W. Batten, my Lady, and his two daughters and his son and
+wife, and Sir W. Pen and his son and I, went to Mr. Young's, the
+flag-maker, in Corne-hill;
+
+     [The members of the Navy Office appear to have chosen Mr. Young's
+     house on account of its nearness to the second triumphal arch,
+     situated near the Royal Exchange, which was dedicated to the Navy.]
+
+and there we had a good room to ourselves, with wine and good cake, and
+saw the show very well.  In which it is impossible to relate the glory of
+this day, expressed in the clothes of them that rid, and their horses and
+horses clothes, among others, my Lord Sandwich's.  Embroidery and
+diamonds were ordinary among them.  The Knights of the Bath was a brave
+sight of itself; and their Esquires, among which Mr. Armiger was an
+Esquire to one of the Knights.  Remarquable were the two men that
+represent the two Dukes of Normandy and Aquitane.  The Bishops come next
+after Barons, which is the higher place; which makes me think that the
+next Parliament they will be called to the House of Lords.  My Lord Monk
+rode bare after the King, and led in his hand a spare horse, as being
+Master of the Horse.  The King, in a most rich embroidered suit and
+cloak, looked most noble.  Wadlow,
+
+     [Simon Wadlow was the original of "old Sir Simon the king," the
+     favourite air of Squire Western in "Tom Jones."
+
+              "Hang up all the poor hop-drinkers,
+               Cries old Sim, the king of skinkers."
+
+     Ben Jonson, Verses over the door into the Apollo.]
+
+the vintner, at the Devil; in Fleetstreet, did lead a fine company of
+soldiers, all young comely men, in white doublets.  There followed the
+Vice-Chamberlain, Sir G. Carteret, a company of men all like Turks; but I
+know not yet what they are for.  The streets all gravelled, and the
+houses hung with carpets before them, made brave show, and the ladies out
+of the windows, one of which over against us I took much notice of, and
+spoke of her, which made good sport among us.  So glorious was the show
+with gold and silver, that we were not able to look at it, our eyes at
+last being so much overcome with it.  Both the King and the Duke of York
+took notice of us, as he saw us at the window.  The show being ended, Mr.
+Young did give us a dinner, at which we were very merry, and pleased
+above imagination at what we have seen.  Sir W. Batten going home, he and
+I called and drunk some mum
+
+     [Mum.  Ale brewed with wheat at Brunswick.
+
+              "Sedulous and stout
+               With bowls of fattening mum."
+
+     J. Phillips, Cyder, Vol. ii.  p. 231.]
+
+and laid our wager about my Lady Faulconbridge's name,
+
+     [Mary, third daughter of Oliver Cromwell, and second wife of Thomas
+     Bellasis, second Viscount Fauconberg, created Earl of Fauconberg,
+     April 9th, 1689.]
+
+which he says not to be Mary, and so I won above 20s.  So home, where
+Will and the boy staid and saw the show upon Towre Hill, and Jane at
+T. Pepys's, The. Turner, and my wife at Charles Glassecocke's, in Fleet
+Street. In the evening by water to White Hall to my Lord's, and there I
+spoke with my Lord.  He talked with me about his suit, which was made in
+France, and cost him L200, and very rich it is with embroidery.  I lay
+with Mr. Shepley, and
+
+
+
+                             CORONACION DAY.
+
+23d.  About 4 I rose and got to the Abbey, where I followed Sir J.
+Denham, the Surveyor, with some company that he was leading in.  And with
+much ado, by the favour of Mr. Cooper, his man, did get up into a great
+scaffold across the North end of the Abbey, where with a great deal of
+patience I sat from past 4 till 11 before the King came in.  And a great
+pleasure it was to see the Abbey raised in the middle, all covered with
+red, and a throne (that is a chair) and footstool on the top of it; and
+all the officers of all kinds, so much as the very fidlers, in red vests.
+At last comes in the Dean and Prebends of Westminster, with the Bishops
+(many of them in cloth of gold copes), and after them the Nobility, all
+in their Parliament robes, which was a most magnificent sight.  Then the
+Duke, and the King with a scepter (carried by my Lord Sandwich) and sword
+and mond
+
+     [Mond or orb of gold, with a cross set with precious stones, carried
+     by the Duke of Buckingham.]
+
+before him, and the crown too.  The King in his robes, bare-headed, which
+was very fine.  And after all had placed themselves, there was a sermon
+and the service; and then in the Quire at the high altar, the King passed
+through all the ceremonies of the Coronacon, which to my great grief I
+and most in the Abbey could not see.  The crown being put upon his head,
+a great shout begun, and he came forth to the throne, and there passed
+more ceremonies: as taking the oath, and having things read to him by the
+Bishop; and his lords (who put on their caps as soon as the King put on
+his crown)
+
+     [As yet barons had no coronet.  A grant of that outward mark of
+     dignity was made to them by Charles soon after his coronation.
+     Queen Elizabeth had assigned coronets to viscounts.--B.]
+
+and bishops come, and kneeled before him.  And three times the King at
+Arms went to the three open places on the scaffold, and proclaimed, that
+if any one could show any reason why Charles Stewart should not be King
+of England, that now he should come and speak.  And a Generall Pardon
+also was read by the Lord Chancellor, and meddalls flung up and down by
+my Lord Cornwallis, of silver, but I could not come by any.  But so great
+a noise that I could make but little of the musique; and indeed, it was
+lost to every body.  But I had so great a lust to .  .  .  . [What is it
+that needed to be censored from this public description?  D.W.] that I
+went out a little while before the King had done all his ceremonies, and
+went round the Abbey to Westminster Hall, all the way within rayles, and
+10,000 people, with the ground covered with blue cloth; and scaffolds all
+the way.  Into the Hall I got, where it was very fine with hangings and
+scaffolds one upon another full of brave ladies; and my wife in one
+little one, on the right hand.  Here I staid walking up and down, and at
+last upon one of the side stalls I stood and saw the King come in with
+all the persons (but the soldiers) that were yesterday in the cavalcade;
+and a most pleasant sight it was to see them in their several robes.  And
+the King came in with his crown on, and his sceptre in his hand, under a
+canopy borne up by six silver staves, carried by Barons of the Cinque
+Ports,
+
+     [Pepys was himself one of the Barons of the Cinque Ports at the
+     Coronation of James II.]
+
+and little bells at every end.  And after a long time, he got up to the
+farther end, and all set themselves down at their several tables; and
+that was also a brave sight: and the King's first course carried up by
+the Knights of the Bath. And many fine ceremonies there was of the
+Heralds leading up people before him, and bowing; and my Lord of
+Albemarle's going to the kitchin and eat a bit of the first dish that was
+to go to the King's table.  But, above all, was these three Lords,
+Northumberland, and Suffolk, and the Duke of Ormond, coming before the
+courses on horseback, and staying so all dinner-time, and at last to
+bring up [Dymock] the King's Champion, all in armour on horseback, with
+his spear and targett carried before him.  And a Herald proclaims "That
+if any dare deny Charles Stewart to be lawful King of England, here was a
+Champion that would fight with him;"
+
+     [The terms of the Champion's challenge were as follows: "If any
+     person of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our
+     Soveraigne Lord King Charles the Second, King of England, Scotland,
+     France and Ireland, defender of the faith, Sonne and next heire to
+     our Soveraigne Lord Charles the First, the last King deceased, to be
+     right heire to the Imperiall Crowne of this Realme of England, or
+     that bee ought not to enjoy the same; here is his champion, who
+     sayth that he lyeth and is a false Traytor, being ready in person to
+     combate with him, and in this quarrell will venture his life against
+     him, on what day soever hee shall be appointed."]
+
+and with these words, the Champion flings down his gauntlet, and all this
+he do three times in his going up towards the King's table.  At last when
+he is come, the King drinks to him, and then sends him the cup which is
+of gold, and he drinks it off, and then rides back again with the cup in
+his hand.  I went from table to table to see the Bishops and all others
+at their dinner, and was infinitely pleased with it.  And at the Lords'
+table, I met with William Howe, and he spoke to my Lord for me, and he
+did give me four rabbits and a pullet, and so I got it and Mr. Creed and
+I got Mr. Michell to give us some bread, and so we at a stall eat it, as
+every body else did what they could get.  I took a great deal of pleasure
+to go up and down, and look upon the ladies, and to hear the musique of
+all sorts, but above all, the 24 violins: About six at night they had
+dined, and I went up to my wife, and there met with a pretty lady (Mrs.
+Frankleyn, a Doctor's wife, a friend of Mr. Bowyer's), and kissed them
+both, and by and by took them down to Mr. Bowyer's.  And strange it is to
+think, that these two days have held up fair till now that all is done,
+and the King gone out of the Hall; and then it fell a-raining and
+thundering and lightening as I have not seen it do for some years: which
+people did take great notice of; God's blessing of the work of these two
+days, which is a foolery to take too much notice of such things.  I
+observed little disorder in all this, but only the King's footmen had got
+hold of the canopy, and would keep it from the Barons of the Cinque
+Ports,
+
+     [Bishop Kennett gives a somewhat fuller account of this unseemly
+     broil: "No sooner had the aforesaid Barons brought up the King to
+     the foot of the stairs in Westminster Hall, ascending to his throne,
+     and turned on the left hand (towards their own table) out of the
+     way, but the King's footmen most insolently and violently seized
+     upon the canopy, which the Barons endeavouring to keep and defend,
+     were by their number and strength dragged clown to the lower end of
+     the Hall, nevertheless still keeping their hold; and had not Mr.
+     Owen York Herald, being accidentally near the Hall door, and seeing
+     the contest, caused the same to be shut, the footmen had certainly
+     carried it away by force.  But in the interim also (speedy notice
+     hereof having been given the King) one of the Querries were sent
+     from him, with command to imprison the footmen, and dismiss them out
+     of his service, which put an end to the present disturbance.  These
+     footmen were also commanded to make their submission to the Court of
+     Claims, which was accordingly done by them the 30th April following,
+     and the canopy then delivered back to the said Barons."  Whilst this
+     disturbance happened, the upper end of the first table, which had
+     been appointed for the Barons of the Cinque Ports, was taken up by
+     the Bishops, judges, &c., probably nothing loth to take precedence
+     of them; and the poor Barons, naturally unwilling to lose their
+     dinner, were necessitated to eat it at the bottom of the second
+     table, below the Masters of Chancery and others of the long
+     robe.-B.]
+
+which they endeavoured to force from them again, but could not do it till
+my Lord Duke of Albemarle caused it to be put into Sir R. Pye's' hand
+till tomorrow to be decided.  At Mr. Bowyer's; a great deal of company,
+some I knew, others I did not.  Here we staid upon the leads and below
+till it was late, expecting to see the fire-works, but they were not
+performed to-night: only the City had a light like a glory round about it
+with bonfires.  At last I went to Kingstreet, and there sent Crockford to
+my father's and my house, to tell them I could not come home tonight,
+because of the dirt, and a coach could not be had.  And so after drinking
+a pot of ale alone at Mrs. Harper's I returned to Mr. Bowyer's, and after
+a little stay more I took my wife and Mrs. Frankleyn (who I proffered the
+civility of lying with my wife at Mrs. Hunt's to-night) to Axe-yard, in
+which at the further end there were three great bonfires, and a great
+many great gallants, men and women; and they laid hold of us, and would
+have us drink the King's health upon our knees, kneeling upon a faggot,
+which we all did, they drinking to us one after another.  Which we
+thought a strange frolique; but these gallants continued thus a great
+while, and I wondered to see how the ladies did tipple.  At last I sent
+my wife and her bedfellow to bed, and Mr. Hunt and I went in with Mr.
+Thornbury (who did give the company all their wine, he being yeoman of
+the wine-cellar to the King) to his house; and there, with his wife and
+two of his sisters, and some gallant sparks that were there, we drank the
+King's health, and nothing else, till one of the gentlemen fell down
+stark drunk, and there lay spewing; and I went to my Lord's pretty well.
+But no sooner a-bed with Mr. Shepley but my head began to hum, and I to
+vomit, and if ever I was foxed it was now, which I cannot say yet,
+because I fell asleep and slept till morning.  Only when I waked I found
+myself wet with my spewing.  Thus did the day end with joy every where;
+and blessed be God, I have not heard of any mischance to any body through
+it all, but only to Serjt. Glynne, whose horse fell upon him yesterday,
+and is like to kill him, which people do please themselves to see how
+just God is to punish the rogue at such a time as this; he being now one
+of the King's Serjeants, and rode in the cavalcade with Maynard, to whom
+people wish the same fortune.  There was also this night in King-street,
+[a woman] had her eye put out by a boy's flinging a firebrand into the
+coach.  Now, after all this, I can say that, besides the pleasure of the
+sight of these glorious things, I may now shut my eyes against any other
+objects, nor for the future trouble myself to see things of state and
+show, as being sure never to see the like again in this world.
+
+
+
+24th.  Waked in the morning with my head in a sad taking through the last
+night's drink, which I am very sorry for; so rose and went out with Mr.
+Creed to drink our morning draft, which he did give me in chocolate
+
+     [Chocolate was introduced into England about the year 1652.  In the
+     "Publick Advertiser" of Tuesday, June 16-22, 1657, we find the
+     following; "In Bishopsgate Street in Queen's Head Alley, at a
+     Frenchman's house, is an excellent West India drink called
+     chocolate, to be sold, where you may have it ready at any time, and
+     also unmade at reasonable rates."--M. B.]
+
+to settle my stomach.  And after that I to my wife, who lay with Mrs.
+Frankelyn at the next door to Mrs. Hunt's, and they were ready, and so I
+took them up in a coach, and carried the ladies to Paul's, and there set
+her down, and so my wife and I home, and I to the office.  That being
+done my wife and I went to dinner to Sir W. Batten, and all our talk
+about the happy conclusion of these last solemnities.  After dinner home,
+and advised with my wife about ordering things in my house, and then she
+went away to my father's to lie, and I staid with my workmen, who do
+please me very well with their work.  At night, set myself to write down
+these three days' diary, and while I am about it, I hear the noise of the
+chambers,--[A chamber is a small piece of ordnance.]--and other things of
+the fire-works, which are now playing upon the Thames before the King;
+and I wish myself with them, being sorry not to see them.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+25th.  All the morning with my workmen with great pleasure to see them
+near coming to an end.  At noon Mr. Moore and I went to an Ordinary at
+the King's Head in Towre Street, and there had a dirty dinner.
+Afterwards home and having done some business with him, in comes Mr.
+Sheply and Pierce the surgeon, and they and I to the Mitre and there
+staid a while and drank, and so home and after a little rending to bed.
+
+
+
+26th.  At the office all the morning, and at noon dined by myself at home
+on a piece of meat from the cook's, and so at home all the afternoon with
+my workmen, and at night to bed, having some thoughts to order my
+business so as to go to Portsmouth the next week with Sir Robert
+Slingsby.
+
+
+
+27th.  In the morning to my Lord's, and there dined with my Lady, and
+after dinner with Mr. Creed and Captain Ferrers to the Theatre to see
+"The Chances," and after that to the Cock alehouse, where we had a harp
+and viallin played to us, and so home by coach to Sir W. Batten's, who
+seems so inquisitive when my, house will be made an end of that I am
+troubled to go thither.  So home with some trouble in my mind about it.
+
+
+
+28th (Lord's day).  In the morning to my father's, where I dined, and in
+the afternoon to their church, where come Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Edward
+Pepys, and several other ladies, and so I went out of the pew into
+another.  And after sermon home with them, and there staid a while and
+talked with them and was sent for to my father's, where my cozen Angier
+and his wife, of Cambridge, to whom I went, and was glad to see them, and
+sent for wine for them, and they supped with my father.  After supper my
+father told me of an odd passage the other night in bed between my mother
+and him, and she would not let him come to bed to her out of jealousy of
+him and an ugly wench that lived there lately, the most ill-favoured slut
+that ever I saw in my life, which I was ashamed to hear that my mother
+should be become such a fool, and my father bid me to take notice of it
+to my mother, and to make peace between him and her.  All which do
+trouble me very much.  So to bed to my wife.
+
+
+
+29th.  Up and with my father towards my house, and by the way met with
+Lieut. Lambert, and with him to the Dolphin in Tower Street and drank our
+morning draught, he being much troubled about his being offered a fourth
+rate ship to be Lieutenant of her now he has been two years Lieutenant in
+a first rate.  So to the office, where it is determined that I should go
+to-morrow to Portsmouth. So I went out of the office to Whitehall
+presently, and there spoke with Sir W. Pen and Sir George Carteret and
+had their advice as to my going, and so back again home, where I directed
+Mr. Hater what to do in order to our going to-morrow, and so back again
+by coach to Whitehall and there eat something in the buttery at my Lord's
+with John Goods and Ned Osgood.  And so home again, and gave order to my
+workmen what to do in my absence.  At night to Sir W. Batten's, and by
+his and Sir W. Pen's persuasion I sent for my wife from my father's, who
+came to us to Mrs. Turner's, where we were all at a collacion to-night
+till twelve o'clock, there being a gentlewoman there that did play well
+and sang well to the Harpsicon, and very merry we were.  So home and to
+bed, where my wife had not lain a great while.
+
+
+
+30th.  This morning, after order given to my workmen, my wife and I and
+Mr. Creed took coach, and in Fishstreet took up Mr. Hater and his wife,
+who through her mask seemed at first to be an old woman, but afterwards I
+found her to be a very pretty modest black woman.  We got a small bait at
+Leatherhead, and so to Godlyman, where we lay all night, and were very
+merry, having this day no other extraordinary rencontre, but my hat
+falling off my head at Newington into the water, by which it was spoiled,
+and I ashamed of it.  I am sorry that I am not at London, to be at
+Hide-parke to-morrow, among the great gallants and ladies, which will be
+very fine.

+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                  MAY
+                                  1661
+
+
+May 1st.  Up early, and bated at Petersfield, in the room which the King
+lay in lately at his being there.  Here very merry, and played us and our
+wives at bowls.  Then we set forth again, and so to Portsmouth, seeming
+to me to be a very pleasant and strong place; and we lay at the Red Lyon,
+where Haselrigge and Scott and Walton did hold their councill, when they
+were here, against Lambert and the Committee of Safety.  Several officers
+of the Yard came to see us to-night, and merry we were, but troubled to
+have no better lodgings.
+
+
+
+2nd.  Up, and Mr. Creed and I to walk round the town upon the walls.
+Then to our inn, and there all the officers of the Yard to see me with
+great respect, and I walked with them to the Dock and saw all the stores,
+and much pleased with the sight of the place.  Back and brought them all
+to dinner with me, and treated them handsomely; and so after dinner by
+water to the Yard, and there we made the sale of the old provisions.
+Then we and our wives all to see the Montagu, which is a fine ship, and
+so to the town again by water, and then to see the room where the Duke of
+Buckingham was killed by Felton.--[1628].  So to our lodging, and to
+supper and to bed.  To-night came Mr. Stevens to town to help us to pay
+off the Fox.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Early to walk with Mr. Creed up and down the town, and it was in
+his and some others' thoughts to have got me made free of the town, but
+the Mayor, it seems, unwilling, and so they could not do it.  Then to the
+payhouse, and there paid off the ship, and so to a short dinner, and then
+took coach, leaving Mrs. Hater there to stay with her husband's friends,
+and we to Petersfield, having nothing more of trouble in all my journey,
+but the exceeding unmannerly and most epicure-like palate of Mr. Creed.
+Here my wife and I lay in the room the Queen lately lay at her going into
+France.
+
+
+
+4th.  Up in the morning and took coach, and so to Gilford, where we lay
+at the Red Lyon, the best Inn, and lay in the room the King lately lay
+in, where we had time to see the Hospital, built by Archbishop Abbott,
+and the free school, and were civilly treated by the Mayster.  So to
+supper, and to bed, being very merry about our discourse with the Drawers
+concerning the minister of the Town, with a red face and a girdle.  So to
+bed, where we lay and sleep well.
+
+
+
+5th (Lord's day).  Mr. Creed and I went to the red-faced Parson's church,
+and heard a good sermon of him, better than I looked for.  Then home, and
+had a good dinner, and after dinner fell in some talk in Divinity with
+Mr. Stevens that kept us till it was past Church time.  Anon we walked
+into the garden, and there played the fool a great while, trying who of
+Mr. Creed or I could go best over the edge of an old fountain well, and I
+won a quart of sack of him.  Then to supper in the banquet house, and
+there my wife and I did talk high, she against and I for Mrs. Pierce
+(that she was a beauty), till we were both angry. Then to walk in the
+fields, and so to our quarters, and to bed.
+
+
+
+6th.  Up by four o'clock and took coach.  Mr. Creed rode, and left us
+that we know not whither he went.  We went on, thinking to be at home
+before the officers rose, but finding we could not we staid by the way
+and eat some cakes, and so home, where I was much troubled to see no more
+work done in my absence than there was, but it could not be helped.  I
+sent my wife to my father's, and I went and sat till late with my Lady
+Batten, both the Sir Williams being gone this day to pay off some ships
+at Deptford.  So home and to bed without seeing of them.  I hear to-night
+that the Duke of York's son is this day dead, which I believe will please
+every body; and I hear that the Duke and his Lady themselves are not much
+troubled at it.
+
+
+
+7th.  In the morning to Mr. Coventry, Sir G. Carteret, and my Lord's to
+give them an account of my return.  My Lady, I find, is, since my going,
+gone to the Wardrobe.  Then with Mr. Creed into London, to several places
+about his and my business, being much stopped in our way by the City
+traynebands, who go in much solemnity and pomp this day to muster before
+the King and the Duke, and shops in the City are shut up every where all
+this day.  He carried me to an ordinary by the Old Exchange, where we
+come a little too late, but we had very good cheer for our 18d. a-piece,
+and an excellent droll too, my host, and his wife so fine a woman; and
+sung and played so well that I staid a great while and drunk a great deal
+of wine.  Then home and staid among my workmen all day, and took order
+for things for the finishing of their work, and so at night to Sir W.
+Batten's, and there supped and so home and to bed, having sent my Lord a
+letter to-night to excuse myself for not going with him to-morrow to the
+Hope, whither he is to go to see in what condition the fleet is in.
+
+
+
+8th.  This morning came my brother John to take his leave of me, he being
+to return to Cambridge to-morrow, and after I had chid him for going with
+my Will the other day to Deptford with the principal officers, I did give
+him some good counsell and 20s. in money, and so he went away.  All this
+day I staid at home with my workmen without eating anything, and took
+much pleasure to see my work go forward.  At night comes my wife not well
+from my father's, having had a fore-tooth drawn out to-day, which do
+trouble me, and the more because I am now in the greatest of all my dirt.
+My Will also returned to-night pretty well, he being gone yesterday not
+very well to his father's.  To-day I received a letter from my uncle, to
+beg an old fiddle of me for my Cozen Perkin, the miller, whose mill the
+wind hath lately broke down, and now he hath nothing to live by but
+fiddling, and he must needs have it against Whitsuntide to play to the
+country girls; but it vexed me to see how my uncle writes to me, as if he
+were not able to buy him one.  But I intend tomorrow to send him one.  At
+night I set down my journal of my late journey to this time, and so to
+bed.  My wife not being well and I very angry with her for her coming
+hither in that condition.
+
+
+
+9th.  With my workmen all the morning, my wife being ill and in great
+pain with her old pain, which troubled me much because that my house is
+in this condition of dirt.  In the afternoon I went to Whitehall and
+there spoke with my Lord at his lodgings, and there being with him my
+Lord Chamberlain, I spoke for my old waterman Payne, to get into White's
+place, who was waterman to my Lord Chamberlain, and is now to go master
+of the barge to my Lord to sea, and my Lord Chamberlain did promise that
+Payne should be entertained in White's place with him.  From thence to
+Sir G. Carteret, and there did get his promise for the payment of the
+remainder of the bill of Mr. Creed's, wherein of late I have been so much
+concerned, which did so much rejoice me that I meeting with Mr. Childe
+took him to the Swan Tavern in King Street, and there did give him a
+tankard of white wine and sugar,--[The popular taste was formerly for
+sweet wines, and sugar was frequently mixed with the wine.]--and so I
+went by water home and set myself to get my Lord's accounts made up,
+which was till nine at night before I could finish, and then I walked to
+the Wardrobe, being the first time I was there since my Lady came
+thither, who I found all alone, and so she shewed me all the lodgings as
+they are now fitted, and they seem pretty pleasant.  By and by comes in
+my Lord, and so, after looking over my accounts, I returned home, being a
+dirty and dark walk.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+10th.  At the office all the morning, and the afternoon among my workmen
+with great pleasure, because being near an end of their work.  This
+afternoon came Mr. Blackburn and Creed to see me, and I took them to the
+Dolphin, and there drank a great deal of Rhenish wine with them and so
+home, having some talk with Mr. Blackburn about his kinsman my Will, and
+he did give me good satisfaction in that it is his desire that his
+kinsman should do me all service, and that he would give him the best
+counsel he could to make him good.  Which I begin of late to fear that he
+will not because of the bad company that I find that he do begin to take.
+This afternoon Mr. Hater received for me the L225 due upon Mr. Creed's
+bill in which I am concerned so much, which do make me very glad.  At
+night to Sir W. Batten and sat a while.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  This morning I went by water with Payne (Mr. Moore being with me)
+to my Lord Chamberlain at Whitehall, and there spoke with my Lord, and he
+did accept of Payne for his waterman, as I had lately endeavoured to get
+him to be.  After that Mr. Cooling did give Payne an order to be
+entertained, and so I left him and Mr. Moore, and I went to Graye's Inne,
+and there to a barber's, where I was trimmed, and had my haire cut, in
+which I am lately become a little curious, finding that the length of it
+do become me very much.  So, calling at my father's, I went home, and
+there staid and saw my workmen follow their work, which this night is
+brought to a very good condition.  This afternoon Mr. Shepley, Moore, and
+Creed came to me all about their several accounts with me, and we did
+something with them all, and so they went away.  This evening Mr. Hater
+brought my last quarter's salary, of which I was very glad, because I
+have lost my first bill for it, and so this morning was forced to get
+another signed by three of my fellow officers for it.  All this evening
+till late setting my accounts and papers in order, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+12th.  My wife had a very troublesome night this night and in great pain,
+but about the morning her swelling broke, and she was in great ease
+presently as she useth to be.  So I put in a vent (which Dr. Williams
+sent me yesterday) into the hole to keep it open till all the matter be
+come out, and so I question not that she will soon be well again.  I
+staid at home all this morning, being the Lord's day, making up my
+private accounts and setting papers in order.  At noon went with my Lady
+Montagu at the Wardrobe, but I found it so late that I came back again,
+and so dined with my wife in her chamber.  After dinner I went awhile to
+my chamber to set my papers right.  Then I walked forth towards
+Westminster and at the Savoy heard Dr. Fuller preach upon David's words,
+"I will wait with patience all the days of my appointed time until my
+change comes;" but methought it was a poor dry sermon.  And I am afeard
+my former high esteem of his preaching was more out of opinion than
+judgment. From thence homewards, but met with Mr. Creed, with whom I went
+and walked in Grayes-Inn-walks, and from thence to Islington, and there
+eat and drank at the house my father and we were wont of old to go to;
+and after that walked homeward, and parted in Smithfield: and so I home,
+much wondering to see how things are altered with Mr. Creed, who, twelve
+months ago, might have been got to hang himself almost as soon as go to a
+drinking-house on a Sunday.
+
+
+
+13th.  All the morning at home among my workmen.  At noon Mr. Creed and I
+went to the ordinary behind the Exchange, where we lately were, but I do
+not like it so well as I did.  So home with him and to the office, where
+we sat late, and he did deliver his accounts to us.  The office being
+done I went home and took pleasure to see my work draw to an end.
+
+
+
+14th.  Up early and by water to Whitehall to my Lord, and there had much
+talk with him about getting some money for him.  He told me of his
+intention to get the Muster Master's place for Mr. Pierce, the purser,
+who he has a mind to carry to sea with him, and spoke very slightingly of
+Mr. Creed, as that he had no opinion at all of him, but only he was
+forced to make use of him because of his present accounts.  Thence to
+drink with Mr. Shepley and Mr. Pinkny, and so home and among my workmen
+all day.  In the evening Mr. Shepley came to me for some money, and so he
+and I to the Mitre, and there we had good wine and a gammon of bacon.  My
+uncle Wight, Mr. Talbot, and others were with us, and we were pretty
+merry.  So at night home and to bed.  Finding my head grow weak
+now-a-days if I come to drink wine, and therefore hope that I shall leave
+it off of myself, which I pray God I could do.
+
+
+
+15th.  With my workmen all day till the afternoon, and then to the
+office, where Mr. Creed's accounts were passed.  Home and found all my
+joyner's work now done, but only a small job or two, which please me very
+well.  This afternoon there came two men with an order from a Committee
+of Lords to demand some books of me out of the office, in order to the
+examining of Mr. Hutchinson's accounts, but I give them a surly answer,
+and they went away to complain, which put me into some trouble with
+myself, but I resolve to go to-morrow myself to these Lords and answer
+them.  To bed, being in great fear because of the shavings which lay all
+up and down the house and cellar, for fear of fire.
+
+
+
+16th.  Up early to see whether the work of my house be quite done, and I
+found it to my mind.  Staid at home all the morning, and about 2 o'clock
+went in my velvet coat by water to the Savoy, and there, having staid a
+good while, I was called into the Lords, and there, quite contrary to my
+expectations, they did treat me very civilly, telling me that what they
+had done was out of zeal to the King's service, and that they would joyne
+with the governors of the chest with all their hearts, since they knew
+that there was any, which they did not before.  I give them very
+respectful answer and so went away to the Theatre, and there saw the
+latter end of "The Mayd's Tragedy," which I never saw before, and
+methinks it is too sad and melancholy.  Thence homewards, and meeting Mr.
+Creed I took him by water to the Wardrobe with me, and there we found my
+Lord newly gone away with the Duke of Ormond and some others, whom he had
+had to the collation; and so we, with the rest of the servants in the
+hall, sat down and eat of the best cold meats that ever I eat on in all
+my life.  From thence I went home (Mr. Moore with me to the waterside,
+telling me how kindly he is used by my Lord and my Lady since his coming
+hither as a servant), and to bed.
+
+
+
+17th.  All the morning at home.  At noon Lieutenant Lambert came to me,
+and he and I to the Exchange, and thence to an ordinary over against it,
+where to our dinner we had a fellow play well upon the bagpipes and
+whistle like a bird exceeding well, and I had a fancy to learn to whistle
+as he do, and did promise to come some other day and give him an angell
+to teach me.  To the office, and sat there all the afternoon till 9 at
+night.  So home to my musique, and my wife and I sat singing in my
+chamber a good while together, and then to bed.
+

+
+18th.  Towards Westminster, from the Towre, by water, and was fain to
+stand upon one of the piers about the bridge,
+
+     [The dangers of shooting the bridge were so great that a popular
+     proverb has it--London Bridge was made for wise men to go over and
+     fools to go under.]
+
+before the men could drag their boat through the lock, and which they
+could not do till another was called to help them.  Being through bridge
+I found the Thames full of boats and gallys, and upon inquiry found that
+there was a wager to be run this morning.  So spying of Payne in a gully,
+I went into him, and there staid, thinking to have gone to Chelsy with
+them.  But upon, the start, the wager boats fell foul one of another,
+till at last one of them gives over, pretending foul play, and so the
+other row away alone, and all our sport lost. So, I went ashore, at
+Westminster; and to the Hall I went, where it was very pleasant to see
+the Hall in the condition it is now with the judges on the benches at the
+further end of it, which I had not seen all this term till now. Thence
+with Mr. Spicer, Creed and some others to drink.  And so away homewards
+by water with Mr. Creed, whom I left in London going about business and I
+home, where I staid all the afternoon in the garden reading "Faber
+Fortunae" with great pleasure. So home to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  (Lord's day) I walked in the morning towards Westminster, and
+seeing many people at York House, I went down and found them at mass, it
+being the Spanish ambassodors; and so I go into one of the gallerys, and
+there heard two masses done, I think, not in so much state as I have seen
+them heretofore. After that into the garden, and walked a turn or two,
+but found it not so fine a place as I always took it for by the outside.
+Thence to my Lord's and there spake with him about business, and then he
+went to Whitehall to dinner, and Capt. Ferrers and Mr. Howe and myself to
+Mr. Wilkinson's at the Crown, and though he had no meat of his own, yet
+we happened to find our cook Mr. Robinson there, who had a dinner for
+himself and some friends, and so he did give us a very fine dinner.  Then
+to my Lord's, where we went and sat talking and laughing in the
+drawing-room a great while.  All our talk about their going to sea this
+voyage, which Capt. Ferrers is in some doubt whether he shall go or no,
+but swears that he would go, if he were sure never to come back again;
+and I, giving him some hopes, he grew so mad with joy that he fell
+a-dancing and leaping like a madman.  Now it fell out so that the balcone
+windows were open, and he went to the rayle and made an offer to leap
+over, and asked what if he should leap over there.  I told him I would
+give him L40 if he did not go to sea.  With that thought I shut the
+doors, and W. Howe hindered him all we could; yet he opened them again,
+and, with a vault, leaps down into the garden:--the greatest and most
+desperate frolic that ever I saw in my life.  I run to see what was
+become of him, and we found him crawled upon his knees, but could not
+rise; so we went down into the garden and dragged him to the bench, where
+he looked like a dead man, but could not stir; and, though he had broke
+nothing, yet his pain in his back was such as he could not endure.  With
+this, my Lord (who was in the little new room) come to us in amaze, and
+bid us carry him up, which, by our strength, we did, and so laid him in
+East's bed, by the door; where he lay in great pain.  We sent for a
+doctor and chyrurgeon, but none to be found, till by-and-by by chance
+comes in Dr. Clerke, who is afeard of him.  So we sent to get a lodging
+for him, and I went up to my Lord, where Captain Cooke, Mr. Gibbons, and
+others of the King's musicians were come to present my Lord with some
+songs and symphonys, which were performed very finely.  Which being done
+I took leave and supped at my father's, where was my cozen Beck come
+lately out of the country.  I am troubled to see my father so much decay
+of a suddain, as he do both in his seeing and hearing, and as much to
+hear of him how my brother Tom do grow disrespectful to him and my
+mother. I took leave and went home, where to prayers (which I have not
+had in my house a good while), and so to bed.
+
+
+
+20th.  At home all the morning; paid L50 to one Mr. Grant for Mr. Barlow,
+for the last half year, and was visited by Mr. Anderson, my former
+chamber fellow at Cambridge, with whom I parted at the Hague, but I did
+not go forthwith him, only gave him a morning draft at home.  At noon Mr.
+Creed came to me, and he and I to the Exchange, and so to an ordinary to
+dinner, and after dinner to the Mitre, and there sat drinking while it
+rained very much.  Then to the office, where I found Sir Williams both,
+choosing of masters for the new fleet of ships that is ordered to be set
+forth, and Pen seeming to be in an ugly humour, not willing to gratify
+one that I mentioned to be put in, did vex me.  We sat late, and so home.
+Mr. Moore came to me when I was going to bed, and sat with me a good
+while talking about my Lord's business and our own and so good night.
+
+
+
+21st.  Up early, and, with Sir R. Slingsby (and Major Waters the deaf
+gentleman, his friend, for company's sake) to the Victualling-office (the
+first time that I ever knew where it was), and there staid while he read
+a commission for enquiry into some of the King's lands and houses
+thereabouts, that are given his brother.  And then we took boat to
+Woolwich, where we staid and gave order for the fitting out of some more
+ships presently.  And then to Deptford, where we staid and did the same;
+and so took barge again, and were overtaken by the King in his barge, he
+having been down the river with his yacht this day for pleasure to try
+it; and, as I hear, Commissioner Pett's do prove better than the Dutch
+one, and that that his brother built.  While we were upon the water, one
+of the greatest showers of rain fell that ever I saw. The Comptroller and
+I landed with our barge at the Temple, and from thence I went to my
+father's, and there did give order about some clothes to be made, and did
+buy a new hat, cost between 20 and 30 shillings, at Mr. Holden's.  So
+home.
+
+
+
+22nd.  To Westminster, and there missed of my Lord, and so about noon I
+and W. Howe by water to the Wardrobe, where my Lord and all the officers
+of the Wardrobe dined, and several other friends of my Lord, at a venison
+pasty. Before dinner, my Lady Wright and my Lady Jem. sang songs to the
+harpsicon. Very pleasant and merry at dinner.  And then I went away by
+water to the office, and there staid till it was late.  At night before I
+went to bed the barber came to trim me and wash me, and so to bed, in
+order to my being clean to-morrow.
+
+
+
+23rd.  This day I went to my Lord, and about many other things at
+Whitehall, and there made even my accounts with Mr. Shepley at my Lord's,
+and then with him and Mr. Moore and John Bowles to the Rhenish wine
+house, and there came Jonas Moore, the mathematician, to us, and there he
+did by discourse make us fully believe that England and France were once
+the same continent, by very good arguments, and spoke very many things,
+not so much to prove the Scripture false as that the time therein is not
+well computed nor understood.  From thence home by water, and there
+shifted myself into my black silk suit (the first day I have put it on
+this year), and so to my Lord Mayor's by coach, with a great deal of
+honourable company, and great entertainment.  At table I had very good
+discourse with Mr. Ashmole, wherein he did assure me that frogs and many
+insects do often fall from the sky, ready formed.  Dr. Bates's
+singularity in not rising up nor drinking the King's nor other healths at
+the table was very much observed.
+
+     [Dr. William Bates, one of the most eminent of the Puritan divines,
+     and who took part in the Savoy Conference.  His collected writings
+     were published in 1700, and fill a large folio volume.  The
+     Dissenters called him silver-tongued Bates.  Calamy affirmed that if
+     Bates would have conformed to the Established Church he might have
+     been raised to any bishopric in the kingdom.  He died in 1699, aged
+     seventy-four.]
+
+From thence we all took coach, and to our office, and there sat till it
+was late; and so I home and to bed by day-light.  This day was kept a
+holy-day through the town; and it pleased me to see the little boys walk
+up and down in procession with their broom-staffs in their hands, as I
+had myself long ago gone.
+
+     [Pepys here refers to the perambulation of parishes on Holy
+     Thursday, still observed.  This ceremony was sometimes enlivened by
+     whipping the boys, for the better impressing on their minds the
+     remembrance of the day, and the boundaries of the parish, instead of
+     beating houses or stones. But this would not have harmonized well
+     with the excellent Hooker's practice on this day, when he "always
+     dropped some loving and facetious observations, to be remembered
+     against the next year, especially by the boys and young people."
+     Amongst Dorsetshire customs, it seems that, in perambulating a manor
+     or parish, a boy is tossed into a stream, if that be the boundary;
+     if a hedge, a sapling from it is applied for the purpose of
+     flagellation.--B.]
+
+
+
+24th.  At home all the morning making up my private accounts, and this is
+the first time that I do find myself to be clearly worth L500 in money,
+besides all my goods in my house, &c.  In the afternoon at the office
+late, and then I went to the Wardrobe, where I found my Lord at supper,
+and therefore I walked a good while till he had done, and I went in to
+him, and there he looked over my accounts.  And they were committed to
+Mr. Moore to see me paid what remained due to me.  Then down to the
+kitchen to eat a bit of bread and butter, which I did, and there I took
+one of the maids by the chin, thinking her to be Susan, but it proved to
+be her sister, who is very like her.  From thence home.
+
+
+
+25th.  All the morning at home about business.  At noon to the Temple,
+where I staid and looked over a book or two at Playford's, and then to
+the Theatre, where I saw a piece of "The Silent Woman," which pleased me.
+So homewards, and in my way bought "The Bondman" in Paul's Churchyard,
+and so home, where I found all clean, and the hearth and range, as it is
+now enlarged, set up, which pleases me very much.
+
+
+
+26th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed.  To church and heard a good sermon
+at our own church, where I have not been a great many weeks.  Dined with
+my wife alone at home pleasing myself in that my house do begin to look
+as if at last it would be in good order.  This day the Parliament
+received the communion of Dr. Gunning at St. Margaret's, Westminster. In
+the afternoon both the Sir Williams came to church, where we had a dull
+stranger.  After church home, and so to the Mitre, where I found Dr.
+Burnett, the first time that ever I met him to drink with him, and my
+uncle Wight and there we sat and drank a great deal, and so I to Sir W.
+Batten's, where I have on purpose made myself a great stranger, only to
+get a high opinion a little more of myself in them.  Here I heard how
+Mrs. Browne, Sir W. Batten's sister, is brought to bed, and I to be one
+of the godfathers, which I could not nor did deny.  Which, however, did
+trouble me very much to be at charge to no purpose, so that I could not
+sleep hardly all night, but in the morning I bethought myself, and I
+think it is very well I should do it.  Sir W. Batten told me how Mr. Prin
+(among the two or three that did refuse to-day to receive the sacrament
+upon their knees) was offered by a mistake the drink afterwards, which he
+did receive, being denied the drink by Dr. Gunning, unless he would take
+it on his knees; and after that by another the bread was brought him, and
+he did take it sitting, which is thought very preposterous.  Home and to
+bed.
+
+
+
+27th.  To the Wardrobe, and from thence with my Lords Sandwich and
+Hinchinbroke to the Lords' House by boat at Westminster, and there I left
+them.  Then to the lobby, and after waiting for Sir G. Downing's coming
+out, to speak with him about the giving me up of my bond for my honesty
+when I was his clerk, but to no purpose, I went to Clerke's at the Legg,
+and there I found both Mr. Pierces, Mr. Rolt, formerly too great a man to
+meet upon such even terms, and there we dined very merry, there coming to
+us Captain Ferrers, this being the first day of his going abroad since
+his leap a week ago, which I was greatly glad to see. By water to the
+office, and there sat late, Sir George Carteret coming in, who among
+other things did inquire into the naming of the maisters for this fleet,
+and was very angry that they were named as they are, and above all to see
+the maister of the Adventure (for whom there is some kind of difference
+between Sir W. Pen and me) turned out, who has been in her list.  The
+office done, I went with the Comptroller to the Coffee house, and there
+we discoursed of this, and I seem to be fond of him, and indeed I find I
+must carry fair with all as far as I see it safe, but I have got of him
+leave to have a little room from his lodgings to my house, of which I am
+very glad, besides I do open him a way to get lodgings himself in the
+office, of which I should be very glad.  Home and to bed.
+
+
+
+28th.  This morning to the Wardrobe, and thence to a little alehouse hard
+by, to drink with John Bowies, who is now going to Hinchinbroke this day.
+Thence with Mr. Shepley to the Exchange about business, and there, by Mr.
+Rawlinson's favour, got into a balcone over against the Exchange; and
+there saw the hangman burn, by vote of Parliament, two old acts, the one
+for constituting us a Commonwealth, and the others I have forgot.  Which
+still do make me think of the greatness of this late turn, and what
+people will do tomorrow against what they all, through profit or fear,
+did promise and practise this day.  Then to the Mitre with Mr. Shepley,
+and there dined with D. Rawlinson and some friends of his very well.  So
+home, and then to Cheapside about buying a piece of plate to give away
+to-morrow to Mrs. Browne's child.  So to the Star in Cheapside, where I
+left Mr. Moore telling L5 out for me, who I found in a great strait for
+my coming back again, and so he went his way at my coming.  Then home,
+where Mr. Cook I met and he paid me 30s., an old debt of his to me.  So
+to Sir W. Pen's, and there sat alone with him till ten at night in talk
+with great content, he telling me things and persons that I did not
+understand in the late times, and so I home to bed.  My cozen John
+Holcroft (whom I have not seen many years) this morning came to see me.
+
+
+
+29th (King's birth-day).  Rose early and having made myself fine, and put
+six spoons and a porringer of silver in my pocket to give away to-day,
+Sir W. Pen and I took coach, and (the weather and ways being foul) went
+to Walthamstowe; and being come there heard Mr. Radcliffe, my former
+school fellow at Paul's (who is yet a mere boy), preach upon "Nay, let
+him take all, since my Lord the King is returned," &c.  He reads all, and
+his sermon very simple, but I looked for new matter.  Back to dinner to
+Sir William Batten's; and then, after a walk in the fine gardens, we went
+to Mrs. Browne's, where Sir W. Pen and I were godfathers, and Mrs. Jordan
+and Shipman godmothers to her boy.  And there, before and after the
+christening; we were with the woman above in her chamber; but whether we
+carried ourselves well or ill, I know not; but I was directed by young
+Mrs. Batten.  One passage of a lady that eat wafers with her dog did a
+little displease me.  I did give the midwife 10s. and the nurse 5s. and
+the maid of the house 2s.  But for as much I expected to give the name to
+the child, but did not (it being called John), I forbore then to give my
+plate till another time after a little more advice.  All being done, we
+went to Mrs. Shipman's, who is a great butter-woman, and I did see there
+the most of milk and cream, and the cleanest that ever I saw in my life.
+After we had filled our bellies with cream, we took our leaves and away.
+In our way, we had great sport to try who should drive fastest, Sir W.
+Batten's coach, or Sir W. Pen's chariott, they having four, and we two
+horses, and we beat them.  But it cost me the spoiling of my clothes and
+velvet coat with dirt.  Being come home I to bed, and give my breeches to
+be dried by the fire against to-morrow.
+
+
+
+30th.  To the Wardrobe and there, with my Lord, went into his new barge
+to try her, and found her a good boat, and like my Lord's contrivance of
+the door to come out round and not square as they used to do.  Back to
+the Wardrobe with my Lord, and then with Mr. Moore to the Temple, and
+thence to.  Greatorex, who took me to Arundell-House, and there showed me
+some fine flowers in his garden, and all the fine statues in the gallery,
+which I formerly had seen, and is a brave sight, and thence to a blind
+dark cellar, where we had two bottles of good ale, and so after giving
+him direction for my silver side-table, I took boat at Arundell stairs,
+and put in at Milford .  .  .  . [What could he have done at Milford to
+require censorship?  D.W.]  So home and found Sir Williams both and my
+Lady going to Deptford to christen Captain Rooth's child, and would have
+had me with them, but I could not go.  To the office, where Sir R.
+Slingsby was, and he and I into his and my lodgings to take a view of
+them, out of a desire he has to have mine of me to join to his, and give
+me Mr. Turner's. To the office again, where Sir G. Carteret came and sat
+a while, he being angry for Sir Williams making of the maisters of this
+fleet upon their own heads without a full table.  Then the Comptroller
+and I to the Coffee House, and there sat a great while talking of many
+things.  So home and to bed.  This day, I hear, the Parliament have
+ordered a bill to be brought in for the restoring the Bishops to the
+House of Lords; which they had not done so soon but to spite Mr. Prin,
+who is every day so bitter against them in his discourse in the House.
+
+
+
+31st.  I went to my father's thinking to have met with my cozen John
+Holcroft, but he came not, but to my great grief I found my father and
+mother in a great deal of discontent one with another, and indeed my
+mother is grown now so pettish that I know not how my father is able to
+bear with it.  I did talk to her so as did not indeed become me, but I
+could not help it, she being so unsufferably foolish and simple, so that
+my father, poor man, is become a very unhappy man.  There I dined, and so
+home and to the office all the afternoon till 9 at night, and then home
+and to supper and to bed.  Great talk now how the Parliament intend to
+make a collection of free gifts to the King through the Kingdom; but I
+think it will not come to much.
