+
+March 1st.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and at
+noon to the 'Change, and after much business and meeting my uncle Wight,
+who told me how Mr. Maes had like to have been trapanned yesterday, but
+was forced to run for it; so with Creed and Mr. Hunt home to dinner, and
+after a good and pleasant dinner, Mr. Hunt parted, and I took Mr. Creed
+and my wife and down to Deptford, it being most pleasant weather, and
+there till night discoursing with the officers there about several things,
+and so walked home by moonshine, it being mighty pleasant, and so home,
+and I to my office, where late about getting myself a thorough
+understanding in the business of masts, and so home to bed, my left eye
+being mightily troubled with rheum.
+
+2nd.  Up, my eye mightily out of order with the rheum that is fallen down
+into it, however, I by coach endeavoured to have waited on my Lord
+Sandwich, but meeting him in Chancery Lane going towards the City I
+stopped and so fairly walked home again, calling at St. Paul's
+Churchyarde, and there looked upon a pretty burlesque poem, called
+"Scarronides, or Virgile Travesty;" extraordinary good.  At home to the
+office till dinner, and after dinner my wife cut my hair short, which is
+growne pretty long again, and then to the office, and there till 9 at
+night doing business.  This afternoon we had a good present of tongues and
+bacon from Mr. Shales, of Portsmouth.  So at night home to supper, and,
+being troubled with my eye, to bed.  This morning Mr. Burgby, one of the
+writing clerks belonging to the Council, was with me about business, a
+knowing man, he complains how most of the Lords of the Council do look
+after themselves and their own ends, and none the publique, unless Sir
+Edward Nicholas.  Sir G. Carteret is diligent, but all for his own ends
+and profit.  My Lord Privy Scale, a destroyer of every body's business,
+and do no good at all to the publique.  The Archbishop of Canterbury
+speaks very little, nor do much, being now come to the highest pitch that
+he can expect.  He tells me, he believes that things will go very high
+against the Chancellor by Digby, and that bad things will be proved. Talks
+much of his neglecting the King; and making the King to trot every day to
+him, when he is well enough to go to visit his cozen Chief-Justice Hide,
+but not to the Council or King.  He commends my Lord of Ormond mightily in
+Ireland; but cries out cruelly of Sir G. Lane for his corruption; and that
+he hath done my Lord great dishonour by selling of places here, which are
+now all taken away, and the poor wretches ready to starve.  That nobody
+almost understands or judges of business better than the King, if he would
+not be guilty of his father's fault to be doubtfull of himself, and easily
+be removed from his own opinion.  That my Lord Lauderdale is never from
+the King's care nor council, and that he is a most cunning fellow.  Upon
+the whole, that he finds things go very bad every where; and even in the
+Council nobody minds the publique.
+
+3rd.  Up pretty early and so to the office, where we sat all the morning
+making a very great contract with Sir W. Warren for provisions for the
+yeare coming, and so home to dinner, and there was W. Howe come to dine
+with me, and before dinner he and I walked in the garden, and we did
+discourse together, he assuring me of what he told me the other day of my
+Lord's speaking so highly in my commendation to my Lord Peterborough and
+Povy, which speaks my Lord having yet a good opinion of me, and also how
+well my Lord and Lady both are pleased with their children's being at my
+father's, and when the bigger ladies were there a little while ago, at
+which I am very glad.  After dinner he went away, I having discoursed with
+him about his own proceedings in his studies, and I observe him to be very
+considerate and to mind his book in order to preferring himself by my
+Lord's favour to something, and I hope to the outing of Creed in his
+Secretaryship.  For he tells me that he is confident my Lord do not love
+him nor will trust him in any secret matter, he is so cunning and crafty
+in all he do.  So my wife and I out of doors thinking to have gone to have
+seen a play, but when we came to take coach, they tell us there are none
+this week, being the first of Lent.  But, Lord! to see how impatient I
+found myself within to see a play, I being at liberty once a month to see
+one, and I think it is the best method I could have taken. But to my
+office, did very much business with several people till night, and so
+home, being unwilling to stay late because of my eye which is not yet well
+of the rheum that is fallen down into it, but to supper and to bed.
+
+4th.  Up, my eye being pretty well, and then by coach to my Lord Sandwich,
+with whom I spoke, walking a good while with him in his garden, which and
+the house is very fine, talking of my Lord Peterborough's accounts,
+wherein he is concerned both for the foolery as also inconvenience which
+may happen upon my Lord Peterborough's ill-stating of his matters, so as
+to have his gaine discovered unnecessarily.  We did talk long and freely
+that I hope the worst is past and all will be well. There were several
+people by trying a new-fashion gun
+
+     [Many attempts to produce a satisfactory revolver were made in
+     former centuries, but it was not till the present one that Colt's
+     revolver was invented.  On February 18th, 1661, Edward, Marquis of
+     Worcester, obtained Letters Patent for "an invencon to make certeyne
+     guns or pistolls which in the tenth parte of one minute of an houre
+     may, with a flaske contrived to that purpose, be re-charged the
+     fourth part of one turne of the barrell which remaines still fixt,
+     fastening it as forceably and effectually as a dozen thrids of any
+     scrue, which in the ordinary and usual way require as many turnes."
+     On March 3rd, 1664, Abraham Hill obtained Letters Patent for a "gun
+     or pistoll for small shott, carrying seaven or eight charges of the
+     same in the stocke of the gun."]
+
+brought my Lord this morning, to shoot off often, one after another,
+without trouble or danger, very pretty.  Thence to the Temple, and there
+taking White's boat down to Woolwich, taking Mr. Shish at Deptford in my
+way, with whom I had some good discourse of the Navy business.  At
+Woolwich discoursed with him and Mr. Pett about iron worke and other
+businesses, and then walked home, and at Greenwich did observe the
+foundation laying of a very great house for the King, which will cost a
+great deale of money.
+
+     [Building by John Webb; now a part of Greenwich Hospital.  Evelyn
+     wrote in his Diary, October 19th, 1661: "I went to London to visite
+     my Lord of Bristoll, having been with Sir John Denham (his Mates
+     surveyor) to consult with him about the placing of his palace at
+     Greenwich, which I would have had built between the river and the
+     Queene's house, so as a large cutt should have let in ye Thames like
+     a bay; but Sir John was for setting it in piles at the very brink of
+     the water, which I did not assent to and so came away, knowing Sir
+     John to be a better poet than architect, tho' he had Mr. Webb (Inigo
+     Jones's man) to assist him."]
+
+So home to dinner, and my uncle Wight coming in he along with my wife and
+I by coach, and setting him down by the way going to Mr. Maes we two to my
+Lord Sandwich's to visit my Lady, with whom I left my wife discoursing,
+and I to White Hall, and there being met by the Duke of Yorke, he called
+me to him and discoursed a pretty while with me about the new ship's
+dispatch building at Woolwich, and talking of the charge did say that he
+finds always the best the most cheape, instancing in French guns, which in
+France you may buy for 4 pistoles, as good to look to as others of 16, but
+not the service.  I never had so much discourse with the Duke before, and
+till now did ever fear to meet him.  He found me and Mr. Prin together
+talking of the Chest money, which we are to blame not to look after.
+Thence to my Lord's, and took up my wife, whom my Lady hath received with
+her old good nature and kindnesse, and so homewards, and she home, I
+'lighting by the way, and upon the 'Change met my uncle Wight and told him
+my discourse this afternoon with Sir G. Carteret in Maes' business, but
+much to his discomfort, and after a dish of coffee home, and at my office
+a good while with Sir W. Warren talking with great pleasure of many
+businesses, and then home to supper, my wife and I had a good fowle to
+supper, and then I to the office again and so home, my mind in great ease
+to think of our coming to so good a respect with my Lord again, and my
+Lady, and that my Lady do so much cry up my father's usage of her
+children, and the goodness of the ayre there, found in the young ladies'
+faces at their return thence, as she says, as also my being put into the
+commission of the Fishery,
+
+     [There had been recently established, under the Great Seal of
+     England, a Corporation for the Royal Fishing, of which the Duke of
+     York was Governor, Lord Craven Deputy-Governor, and the Lord Mayor
+     and Chamberlain of London, for the time being, Treasurers, in which
+     body was vested the sole power of licensing lotteries ("The Newes,"
+     October 6th, 1664).  The original charter (dated April 8th, 1664),
+     incorporating James, Duke of York, and thirty-six assistants as
+     Governor and Company of the Royal Fishing of Great Britain and
+     Ireland, is among the State Papers.  The duke was to be Governor
+     till February 26th, 1665]
+
+for which I must give my Lord thanks, and so home to bed, having a great
+cold in my head and throat tonight from my late cutting my hair so close
+to my head, but I hope it will be soon gone again.
+
+5th.  Up and to the office, where, though I had a great cold, I was forced
+to speak much upon a publique meeting of the East India Company, at our
+office; where our own company was full, and there was also my Lord George
+Barkeley, in behalfe of the company of merchants (I suppose he is on that
+company), who, hearing my name, took notice of me, and condoled my cozen
+Edward Pepys's death, not knowing whose son I was, nor did demand it of
+me.  We broke up without coming to any conclusion, for want of my Lord
+Marlborough.  We broke up and I to the 'Change, where with several people
+and my uncle Wight to drink a dish of coffee, and so home to dinner, and
+then to the office all the afternoon, my eye and my throat being very bad,
+and my cold increasing so as I could not speak almost at all at night.  So
+at night home to supper, that is a posset, and to bed.
+
+6th (Lord's day).  Up, and my cold continuing in great extremity I could
+not go out to church, but sat all day (a little time at dinner excepted)
+in my closet at the office till night drawing up a second letter to Mr.
+Coventry about the measure of masts to my great satisfaction, and so in
+the evening home, and my uncle and aunt Wight came to us and supped with
+us, where pretty merry, but that my cold put me out of humour.  At night
+with my cold, and my eye also sore still, to bed.
+
+7th.  Up betimes, and the Duke being gone abroad to-day, as we heard by a
+messenger, I spent the morning at my office writing fair my yesterday's
+work till almost 2 o'clock (only Sir G. Carteret coming I went down a
+little way by water towards Deptford, but having more mind to have my
+business done I pretended business at the 'Change, and so went into
+another boat), and then, eating a bit, my wife and I by coach to the
+Duke's house, where we saw "The Unfortunate Lovers;" but I know not
+whether I am grown more curious than I was or no, but I was not much
+pleased with it, though I know not where to lay the fault, unless it was
+that the house was very empty, by reason of a new play at the other house.
+Yet here was my Lady Castlemayne in a box, and it was pleasant to hear an
+ordinary lady hard by us, that it seems did not know her before, say,
+being told who she was, that "she was well enough."  Thence home, and I
+ended and sent away my letter to Mr. Coventry (having first read it and
+had the opinion of Sir W. Warren in the case), and so home to supper and
+to bed, my cold being pretty well gone, but my eye remaining still snare
+and rhumey, which I wonder at, my right eye ayling nothing.
+
+8th.  Up with some little discontent with my wife upon her saying that she
+had got and used some puppy-dog water, being put upon it by a desire of my
+aunt Wight to get some for her, who hath a mind, unknown to her husband,
+to get some for her ugly face.  I to the office, where we sat all the
+morning, doing not much business through the multitude of counsellors, one
+hindering another.  It was Mr. Coventry's own saying to me in his coach
+going to the 'Change, but I wonder that he did give me no thanks for my
+letter last night, but I believe he did only forget it. Thence home,
+whither Luellin came and dined with me, but we made no long stay at
+dinner; for "Heraclius"  being acted, which my wife and I have a mighty
+mind to see, we do resolve, though not exactly agreeing with the letter of
+my vowe, yet altogether with the sense, to see another this month, by
+going hither instead of that at Court, there having been none conveniently
+since I made my vowe for us to see there, nor like to be this Lent, and
+besides we did walk home on purpose to make this going as cheap as that
+would have been, to have seen one at Court, and my conscience knows that
+it is only the saving of money and the time also that I intend by my
+oaths, and this has cost no more of either, so that my conscience before
+God do after good consultation and resolution of paying my forfeit, did my
+conscience accuse me of breaking my vowe, I do not find myself in the
+least apprehensive that I have done any violence to my oaths.  The play
+hath one very good passage well managed in it, about two persons
+pretending, and yet denying themselves, to be son to the tyrant Phocas,
+and yet heire of Mauritius to the crowne.  The garments like Romans very
+well.  The little girle is come to act very prettily, and spoke the
+epilogue most admirably.  But at the beginning, at the drawing up of the
+curtaine, there was the finest scene of the Emperor and his people about
+him, standing in their fixed and different pastures in their Roman
+habitts, above all that ever I yet saw at any of the theatres.  Walked
+home, calling to see my brother Tom, who is in bed, and I doubt very ill
+of a consumption.  To the office awhile, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+9th.  Up pretty betimes to my office, where all day long, but a little at
+home at dinner, at my office finishing all things about Mr. Wood's
+contract for masts, wherein I am sure I shall save the King L400 before I
+have done.  At night home to supper and to bed.
+
+10th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning doing business, and at
+noon to the 'Change and there very busy, and so home to dinner with my
+wife, to a good hog's harslet,
+
+     [Harslet or haslet, the entrails of an animal, especially of a hog,
+     as the heart, liver, &c.]
+
+a piece of meat I love, but have not eat of I think these seven years, and
+after dinner abroad by coach set her at Mrs. Hunt's and I to White Hall,
+and at the Privy Seale I enquired, and found the Bill come for the
+Corporation of the Royall Fishery; whereof the Duke of Yorke is made
+present Governor, and several other very great persons, to the number of
+thirty-two, made his assistants for their lives: whereof, by my Lord
+Sandwich's favour, I am one; and take it not only as a matter of honour,
+but that, that may come to be of profit to me, and so with great content
+went and called my wife, and so home and to the office, where busy late,
+and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+11th.  Up and by coach to my Lord Sandwich's, who not being up I staid
+talking with Mr. Moore till my Lord was ready and come down, and went
+directly out without calling for me or seeing any body.  I know not
+whether he knew I was there, but I am apt to think not, because if he
+would have given me that slighting yet he would not have done it to others
+that were there.  So I went back again doing nothing but discoursing with
+Mr. Moore, who I find by discourse to be grown rich, and indeed not to use
+me at all with the respect he used to do, but as his equal.  He made me
+known to their Chaplin, who is a worthy, able man. Thence home, and by and
+by to the Coffee-house, and thence to the 'Change, and so home to dinner,
+and after a little chat with my wife to the office, where all the
+afternoon till very late at the office busy, and so home to supper and to
+bed, hoping in God that my diligence, as it is really very useful for the
+King, so it will end in profit to myself. In the meantime I have good
+content in mind to see myself improve every day in knowledge and being
+known.
+
+12th.  Lay long pleasantly entertaining myself with my wife, and then up
+and to the office, where busy till noon, vexed to see how Sir J. Minnes
+deserves rather to be pitied for his dotage and folly than employed at a
+great salary to ruin the King's business.  At noon to the 'Change, and
+thence home to dinner, and then down to Deptford, where busy a while, and
+then walking home it fell hard a raining.  So at Halfway house put in, and
+there meeting Mr. Stacy with some company of pretty women, I took him
+aside to a room by ourselves, and there talked with him about the several
+sorts of tarrs, and so by and by parted, and I walked home and there late
+at the office, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+13th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed talking with my wife, and then up in
+great doubt whether I should not go see Mr. Coventry or no, who hath not
+been well these two or three days, but it being foul weather I staid
+within, and so to my office, and there all the morning reading some Common
+Law, to which I will allot a little time now and then, for I much want it.
+At noon home to dinner, and then after some discourse with my wife, to the
+office again, and by and by Sir W. Pen came to me after sermon and walked
+with me in the garden and then one comes to tell me that Anthony and Will
+Joyce were come to see me, so I in to them and made mighty much of them,
+and very pleasant we were, and most of their business I find to be to
+advise about getting some woman to attend my brother Tom, whom they say is
+very ill and seems much to want one.  To which I agreed, and desired them
+to get their wives to enquire out one. By and by they bid me good night,
+but immediately as they were gone out of doors comes Mrs. Turner's boy
+with a note to me to tell me that my brother Tom was so ill as they feared
+he would not long live, and that it would be fit I should come and see
+him.  So I sent for them back, and they came, and Will Joyce desiring to
+speak with me alone I took him up, and there he did plainly tell me to my
+great astonishment that my brother is deadly ill, and that their chief
+business of coming was to tell me so, and what is worst that his disease
+is the pox, which he hath heretofore got, and hath not been cured, but is
+come to this, and that this is certain, though a secret told his father
+Fenner by the Doctor which he helped my brother to.  This troubled me
+mightily, but however I thought fit to go see him for speech of people's
+sake, and so walked along with them, and in our way called on my uncle
+Fenner (where I have not been these 12 months and more) and advised with
+him, and then to my brother, who lies in bed talking idle.  He could only
+say that he knew me, and then fell to other discourse, and his face like a
+dying man, which Mrs. Turner, who was here, and others conclude he is.
+The company being gone, I took the mayde, which seems a very grave and
+serious woman, and in W. Joyce's company' did inquire how things are with
+her master.  She told me many things very discreetly, and said she had all
+his papers and books, and key of his cutting house, and showed me a bag
+which I and Wm. Joyce told, coming to L5 14s. 0d., which we left with her
+again, after giving her good counsel, and the boys, and seeing a nurse
+there of Mrs. Holden's choosing, I left them, and so walked home greatly
+troubled to think of my brother's condition, and the trouble that would
+arise to me by his death or continuing sick.  So at home, my mind
+troubled, to bed.
+
+14th.  Up, and walked to my brother's, where I find he hath continued
+talking idly all night, and now knows me not; which troubles me mightily.
+So I walked down and discoursed a great while alone with the mayde, who
+tells me many passages of her master's practices, and how she concludes
+that he has run behind hand a great while and owes money, and has been
+dunned by several people, among others by one Cave, both husband and wife,
+but whether it was for--[See April 6th]--money or something worse she
+knows not, but there is one Cranburne, I think she called him, in Fleete
+Lane with whom he hath many times been mighty private, but what their
+dealings have been she knows not, but believes these were naught, and then
+his sitting up two Saturday nights one after another when all were abed
+doing something to himself, which she now suspects what it was, but did
+not before, but tells me that he hath been a very bad husband as to
+spending his time, and hath often told him of it, so that upon the whole I
+do find he is, whether he lives or dies, a ruined man, and what trouble
+will befall me by it I know not.  Thence to White Hall; and in the Duke's
+chamber, while he was dressing, two persons of quality that were there did
+tell his Royal Highness how the other night, in Holborne, about midnight,
+being at cards, a link-boy come by and run into the house, and told the
+people the house was a-falling.  Upon this the whole family was frighted,
+concluding that the boy had said that the house was a-fire: so they deft
+their cards above, and one would have got out of the balcone, but it was
+not open; the other went up to fetch down his children, that were in bed;
+so all got clear out of the house.  And no sooner so, but the house fell
+down indeed, from top to bottom.  It seems my Lord Southampton's
+canaille--[sewer]--did come too near their foundation, and so weakened the
+house, and down it came; which, in every respect, is a most extraordinary
+passage.  By and by into his closet and did our business with him.  But I
+did not speed as I expected in a business about the manner of buying hemp
+for this year, which troubled me, but it proceeds only from my pride, that
+I must needs expect every thing to be ordered just as I apprehend, though
+it was not I think from my errour, but their not being willing to hear and
+consider all that I had to propose.  Being broke up I followed my Lord
+Sandwich and thanked him for his putting me into the Fishery, which I
+perceive he expected, and cried "Oh!" says he, "in the Fishery you mean.
+I told you I would remember you in it," but offered no other discourse.
+But demanding whether he had any commands for me, methought he cried "No!"
+as if he had no more mind to discourse with me, which still troubles me
+and hath done all the day, though I think I am a fool for it, in not
+pursuing my resolution of going handsome in clothes and looking high, for
+that must do it when all is done with my Lord.  Thence by coach with Sir
+W. Batten to the city, and his son Castle, who talks mighty highly against
+Captain Tayler, calling him knave, and I find that the old Boating father
+is led and talks just as the son do, or the son as the father would have
+him. 'Light and to Mr. Moxon's, and there saw our office globes in doing,
+which will be very handsome but cost money.  So to the Coffee-house, and
+there very fine discourse with Mr. Hill the merchant, a pretty, gentile,
+young, and sober man.  So to the 'Change, and thence home, where my wife
+and I fell out about my not being willing to have her have her gowne
+laced, but would lay out the same money and more on a plain new one.  At
+this she flounced away in a manner I never saw her, nor which I could ever
+endure.  So I away to the office, though she had dressed herself to go see
+my Lady Sandwich.  She by and by in a rage follows me, and coming to me
+tells me in spitefull manner like a vixen and with a look full of rancour
+that she would go buy a new one and lace it and make me pay for it, and
+then let me burn it if I would after she had done it, and so went away in
+a fury.  This vexed me cruelly, but being very busy I had, not hand to
+give myself up to consult what to do in it, but anon, I suppose after she
+saw that I did not follow her, she came again to the office, where I made
+her stay, being busy with another, half an houre, and her stomach coming
+down we were presently friends, and so after my business being over at the
+office we out and by coach to my Lady Sandwich's, with whom I left my
+wife, and I to White Hall, where I met Mr. Delsety, and after an hour's
+discourse with him met with nobody to do other business with, but back
+again to my Lady, and after half an hour's discourse with her to my
+brother's, who I find in the same or worse condition.  The doctors give
+him over and so do all that see him. He talks no sense two, words together
+now; and I confess it made me weepe to see that he should not be able,
+when I asked him, to say who I was. I went to Mrs. Turner's, and by her
+discourse with my brother's Doctor, Mr. Powell, I find that she is full
+now of the disease which my brother is troubled with, and talks of it
+mightily, which I am sorry for, there being other company,  but methinks
+it should be for her honour to forbear talking of it, the shame of this
+very thing I confess troubles me as much as anything.  Back to my
+brother's and took my wife, and carried her to my uncle Fenner's and there
+had much private discourse with him.  He tells me of the Doctor's thoughts
+of my brother's little hopes of recovery, and from that to tell me his
+thoughts long of my brother's bad husbandry, and from that to say that he
+believes he owes a great deal of money, as to my cozen Scott I know not
+how much, and Dr. Thos. Pepys L30, but that the Doctor confesses that he
+is paid L20 of it, and what with that and what he owes my father and me I
+doubt he is in a very sad condition, that if he lives he will not be able
+to show his head, which will be a very great shame to me.  After this I
+went in to my aunt and my wife and Anthony Joyce and his wife, who were by
+chance there, and drank and so home, my mind and head troubled, but I hope
+it will [be] over in a little time one way or other.  After doing a little
+at my office of business I home to supper and to bed.  From notice that my
+uncle Fenner did give my father the last week of my brother's condition,
+my mother is coming up to towne, which also do trouble me.  The business
+between my Lords Chancellor and Bristoll, they say, is hushed up; and the
+latter gone or going, by the King's licence, to France.
+
+15th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and at noon
+comes Madam Turner and her daughter The., her chief errand to tell me that
+she had got Dr. Wiverly, her Doctor, to search my brother's mouth, where
+Mr. Powell says there is an ulcer, from thence he concludes that he hath
+had the pox.  But the Doctor swears that there is not, nor ever was any,
+and my brother being very sensible, which I was glad to hear, he did talk
+with him about it, and he did wholly disclaim that ever he had the
+disease, or that ever he said to Powell that he had it.  All which did put
+me into great comfort as to the reproach which was spread against him.  So
+I sent for a barrel of oysters, and they dined, and we were very merry, I
+being willing to be so upon this news.  After dinner we took coach and to
+my brother's, where contrary to my expectation he continues as bad or
+worse, talking idle, and now not at all knowing any of us as before.  Here
+we staid a great while, I going up and down the house looking after
+things.  In the evening Dr. Wiverley came again, and I sent for Mr. Powell
+(the Doctor and I having first by ourselves searched my brother again at
+his privities, where he was as clear as ever he was born, and in the
+Doctor's opinion had been ever so), and we three alone discoursed the
+business, where the coxcomb did give us his simple reasons for what he had
+said, which the Doctor fully confuted, and left the fellow only saying
+that he should cease to report any such thing, and that what he had said
+was the best of his judgment from my brother's words and a ulcer, as he
+supposed, in his mouth.  I threatened him that I would have satisfaction
+if I heard any more such discourse, and so good night to them two, giving
+the Doctor a piece for his fee, but the other nothing.  I to my brother
+again, where Madam Turner and her company, and Mrs. Croxton, my wife, and
+Mrs. Holding.  About 8 o'clock my brother began to fetch his spittle with
+more pain, and to speak as much but not so distinctly, till at last the
+phlegm getting the mastery of him, and he beginning as we thought to
+rattle, I had no mind to see him die, as we thought he presently would,
+and so withdrew and led Mrs. Turner home, but before I came back, which
+was in half a quarter of an hour, my brother was dead.  I went up and
+found the nurse holding his eyes shut, and he poor wretch lying with his
+chops fallen, a most sad sight, and that which put me into a present very
+great transport of grief and cries, and indeed it was a most sad sight to
+see the poor wretch lie now still and dead, and pale like a stone.  I
+staid till he was almost cold, while Mrs. Croxton, Holden, and the rest
+did strip and lay him out, they observing his corpse, as they told me
+afterwards, to be as clear as any they ever saw, and so this was the end
+of my poor brother, continuing talking idle and his lips working even to
+his last that his phlegm hindered his breathing, and at last his breath
+broke out bringing a flood of phlegm and stuff out with it, and so he
+died.  This evening he talked among other talk a great deal of French very
+plain and good, as, among others: 'quand un homme boit quand il n'a poynt
+d'inclination a boire il ne luy fait jamais de bien.'  I once begun to
+tell him something of his condition, and asked him whither he thought he
+should go.  He in distracted manner answered me--"Why, whither should I
+go? there are but two ways: If I go, to the bad way I must give God thanks
+for it, and if I go the other way I must give God the more thanks for it;
+and I hope I have not been so undutifull and unthankfull in my life but I
+hope I shall go that way."  This was all the sense, good or bad, that I
+could get of him this day.  I left my wife to see him laid out, and I by
+coach home carrying my brother's papers, all I could find, with me, and
+having wrote a letter to, my father telling him what hath been said I
+returned by coach, it being very late, and dark, to my brother's, but all
+being gone, the corpse laid out, and my wife at Mrs. Turner's, I thither,
+and there after an hour's talk, we up to bed, my wife and I in the little
+blue chamber, and I lay close to my wife, being full of disorder and grief
+for my brother that I could not sleep nor wake with satisfaction, at last
+I slept till 5 or 6 o'clock.
+
+16th.  And then I rose and up, leaving my wife in bed, and to my
+brother's, where I set them on cleaning the house, and my wife coming anon
+to look after things, I up and down to my cozen Stradwicke's and uncle
+Fenner's about discoursing for the funeral, which I am resolved to put off
+till Friday next.  Thence home and trimmed myself, and then to the
+'Change, and told my uncle Wight of my brother's death, and so by coach to
+my cozen Turner's and there dined very well, but my wife .  .  . .  in
+great pain we were forced to rise in some disorder, and in Mrs. Turner's
+coach carried her home and put her to bed.  Then back again with my cozen
+Norton to Mrs. Turner's, and there staid a while talking with Dr. Pepys,
+the puppy, whom I had no patience to hear.  So I left them and to my
+brother's to look after things, and saw the coffin brought; and by and by
+Mrs. Holden came and saw him nailed up.  Then came W. Joyce to me half
+drunk, and much ado I had to tell him the story of my brother's being
+found clear of what was said, but he would interrupt me by some idle
+discourse or other, of his crying what a good man, and a good speaker my
+brother was, and God knows what.  At last weary of him I got him away, and
+I to Mrs. Turner's, and there, though my heart is still heavy to think of
+my poor brother, yet I could give way to my fancy to hear Mrs. The. play
+upon the Harpsicon, though the musique did not please me neither.  Thence
+to my brother's and found them with my mayd Elizabeth taking an inventory
+of the goods of the house, which I was well pleased at, and am much
+beholden to Mr. Honeywood's man in doing of it.  His name is Herbert, one
+that says he knew me when he lived with Sir Samuel Morland, but I have
+forgot him.  So I left them at it, and by coach home and to my office,
+there to do a little business, but God knows my heart and head is so full
+of my brother's death, and the consequences of it, that I can do very
+little or understand it.  So home to supper, and after looking over some
+business in my chamber I to bed to my wife, who continues in bed in some
+pain still.  This day I have a great barrel of oysters given me by Mr.
+Barrow, as big as 16 of others, and I took it in the coach with me to Mrs.
+Turner's, and give them to her.  This day the Parliament met again, after
+a long prorogation, but what they have done I have not been in the way to
+hear.
+
+17th.  Up and to my brother's, where all the morning doing business
+against to-morrow, and so to my cozen Stradwicke's about the same
+business, and to the 'Change, and thence home to dinner, where my wife in
+bed sick still, but not so bad as yesterday.  I dined by her, and so to
+the office, where we sat this afternoon, having changed this day our
+sittings from morning to afternoons, because of the Parliament which
+returned yesterday; but was adjourned till Monday next; upon pretence that
+many of the members were said to be upon the road; and also the King had
+other affairs, and so desired them to adjourn till then.  But the truth
+is, the King is offended at my Lord of Bristol, as they say, whom he hath
+found to have been all this while (pretending a desire of leave to go into
+France, and to have all the difference between him and the Chancellor made
+up,) endeavouring to make factions in both Houses to the Chancellor.  So
+the King did this to keep the Houses from meeting; and in the meanwhile
+sent a guard and a herald last night to have taken him at Wimbleton, where
+he was in the morning, but could not find him: at which the King was and
+is still mightily concerned, and runs up and down to and from the
+Chancellor's like a boy: and it seems would make Digby's articles against
+the Chancellor to be treasonable reflections against his Majesty.  So that
+the King is very high, as they say; and God knows what will follow upon
+it!  After office I to my brother's again, and thence to Madam Turner's,
+in both places preparing things against to-morrow; and this night I have
+altered my resolution of burying him in the church yarde among my young
+brothers and sisters, and bury him in the church, in the middle isle, as
+near as I can to my mother's pew.  This costs me 20s. more.  This being
+all, home by coach, bringing my brother's silver tankard for safety along
+with me, and so to supper, after writing to my father, and so to bed.
+
+18th.  Up betimes, and walked to my brother's, where a great while putting
+things in order against anon; then to Madam Turner's and eat a breakfast
+there, and so to Wotton, my shoemaker, and there got a pair of shoes
+blacked on the soles against anon for me; so to my brother's and to
+church, and with the grave-maker chose a place for my brother to lie in,
+just under my mother's pew.  But to see how a man's tombes are at the
+mercy of such a fellow, that for sixpence he would, (as his owne words
+were,) "I will justle them together but I will make room for him;"
+speaking of the fulness of the middle isle, where he was to lie; and that
+he would, for my father's sake, do my brother that is dead all the
+civility he can; which was to disturb other corps that are not quite
+rotten, to make room for him; and methought his manner of speaking it was
+very remarkable; as of a thing that now was in his power to do a man a
+courtesy or not.  At noon my wife, though in pain, comes, but I being
+forced to go home, she went back with me, where I dressed myself, and so
+did Besse; and so to my brother's again: whither, though invited, as the
+custom is, at one or two o'clock, they came not till four or five.  But at
+last one after another they come, many more than I bid: and my reckoning
+that I bid was one hundred and twenty; but I believe there was nearer one
+hundred and fifty.  Their service was six biscuits apiece, and what they
+pleased of burnt claret.  My cosen Joyce Norton kept the wine and cakes
+above; and did give out to them that served, who had white gloves given
+them.  But above all, I am beholden to Mrs. Holden, who was most kind, and
+did take mighty pains not only in getting the house and every thing else
+ready, but this day in going up and down to see, the house filled and
+served, in order to mine, and their great content, I think; the men
+sitting by themselves in some rooms, and women by themselves in others,
+very close, but yet room enough.  Anon to church, walking out into the
+streete to the Conduit, and so across the streete, and had a very good
+company along with the corps.  And being come to the grave as above, Dr.
+Pierson, the minister of the parish, did read the service for buriall: and
+so I saw my poor brother laid into the grave; and so all broke up; and I
+and my wife and Madam Turner and her family to my brother's, and by and by
+fell to a barrell of oysters, cake, and cheese, of Mr. Honiwood's, with
+him, in his chamber and below, being too merry for so late a sad work.
+But, Lord! to see how the world makes nothing of the memory of a man, an
+houre after he is dead!  And, indeed, I must blame myself; for though at
+the sight of him dead and dying, I had real grief for a while, while he
+was in my sight, yet presently after, and ever since, I have had very
+little grief indeed for him.  By and by, it beginning to be late, I put
+things in some order in the house, and so took my wife and Besse (who hath
+done me very good service in cleaning and getting ready every thing and
+serving the wine and things to-day, and is indeed a most excellent
+good-natured and faithful wench, and I love her mightily), by coach home,
+and so after being at the office to set down the day's work home to supper
+and to bed.
+
+19th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning, and at noon my wife
+and I alone, having a good hen, with eggs, to dinner, with great content.
+Then by coach to my brother's, where I spent the afternoon in paying some
+of the charges of the buriall, and in looking over his papers, among which
+I find several letters of my brother John's to him speaking very foale
+words of me and my deportment to him here, and very crafty designs about
+Sturtlow land and God knows what, which I am very glad to know, and shall
+make him repent them.  Anon my father and my brother John came to towne by
+coach.  I sat till night with him, giving him an account of things.  He,
+poor man, very sad and sickly.  I in great pain by a simple compressing of
+my cods to-day by putting one leg over another as I have formerly done,
+which made me hasten home, and after a little at the office in great
+disorder home to bed.
+
+20th (Lord's day).  Kept my bed all the morning, having laid a poultice to
+my cods last night to take down the tumour there which I got yesterday,
+which it did do, being applied pretty warm, and soon after the beginning
+of the swelling, and the pain was gone also.  We lay talking all the
+while, among other things of religion, wherein I am sorry so often to hear
+my wife talk of her being and resolving to die a Catholique,
+
+     [Mrs. Pepys's leaning towards Roman Catholicism was a constant
+     trouble to her husband; but, in spite of his fears, she died a
+     Protestant (Dr. Milles's certificate.)]
+
+and indeed a small matter, I believe, would absolutely turn her, which I
+am sorry for.  Up at noon to dinner, and then to my chamber with a fire
+till late at night looking over my brother Thomas's papers, sorting of
+them, among which I find many base letters of my brother John's to him
+against me, and carrying on plots against me to promote Tom's having of
+his Banbury' Mistress, in base slighting terms, and in worse of my sister
+Pall, such as I shall take a convenient time to make my father know, and
+him also to his sorrow.  So after supper to bed, our people rising to wash
+to-morrow.
+
+21st.  Up, and it snowing this morning a little, which from the mildness
+of the winter and the weather beginning to be hot and the summer to come
+on apace, is a little strange to us.  I did not go abroad for fear of my
+tumour, for fear it shall rise again, but staid within, and by and by my,
+father came, poor man, to me, and my brother John.  After much talke and
+taking them up to my chamber, I did there after some discourse bring in
+any business of anger--with John, and did before my father read all his
+roguish letters, which troubled my father mightily, especially to hear me
+say what I did, against my allowing any thing for the time to come to him
+out of my owne purse, and other words very severe, while he, like a simple
+rogue, made very silly and churlish answers to me, not like a man of any
+goodness or witt, at which I was as much disturbed as the other, and will
+be as good as my word in making him to his cost know that I will remember
+his carriage to me in this particular the longest day I live. It troubled
+me to see my poor father so troubled, whose good nature did make him, poor
+wretch, to yield, I believe, to comply with my brother Tom and him in part
+of their designs, but without any ill intent to me, or doubt of me or my
+good intentions to him or them, though it do trouble me a little that he
+should in any manner do it.  They dined with me, and after dinner abroad
+with my wife to buy some things for her, and I to the office, where we sat
+till night, and then, after doing some business at my closet, I home and
+to supper and to bed.  This day the Houses of Parliament met; and the King
+met them, with the Queene with him.  And he made a speech to them:
+
+     [March 16th, 1663-64.  This day both Houses met, and on the gist the
+     king opened the session with a speech from the throne, in which
+     occurs this Passage: "I pray, Mr. Speaker, and you, gentlemen of the
+     House of Commons, give that Triennial Bill once a reading in your
+     house, and then, in God's name, do what you think fit for me and
+     yourselves and the whole kingdom.  I need not tell you how much I
+     love parliaments.  Never king was so much beholden to parliaments as
+     I have been, nor do I think the crown can ever be happy without
+     frequent parliaments" (Cobbett's "Parliamentary History," vol. iv.,
+     cc. 290, 291).]
+
+among other things, discoursing largely of the plots abroad against him
+and the peace of the kingdom; and, among other things, that the
+dissatisfied party had great hopes upon the effect of the Act for a
+Triennial Parliament granted by his father, which he desired them to
+peruse, and, I think, repeal.  So the Houses did retire to their own
+House, and did order the Act to be read to-morrow before them; and I
+suppose it will be repealed, though I believe much against the will of a
+good many that sit there.
+
+22nd.  Up, and spent the whole morning and afternoon at my office, only in
+the evening, my wife being at my aunt Wight's, I went thither, calling at
+my own house, going out found the parlour curtains drawn, and inquiring
+the reason of it, they told me that their mistress had got Mrs. Buggin's
+fine little dog and our little bitch, which is proud at this time, and I
+am apt to think that she was helping him to line her, for going afterwards
+to my uncle Wight's, and supping there with her, where very merry with Mr.
+Woolly's drollery, and going home I found the little dog so little that of
+himself he could not reach our bitch, which I am sorry for, for it is the
+finest dog that ever I saw in my life, as if he were painted the colours
+are so finely mixed and shaded.  God forgive me, it went against me to
+have my wife and servants look upon them while they endeavoured to do
+something .  .  .  .
+
+23rd.  Up, and going out saw Mrs. Buggin's dog, which proves as I thought
+last night so pretty that I took him and the bitch into my closet below,
+and by holding down the bitch helped him to line her, which he did very
+stoutly, so as I hope it will take, for it is the prettiest dog that ever
+I saw.  So to the office, where very busy all the morning, and so to the
+'Change, and off hence with Sir W. Rider to the Trinity House, and there
+dined very well: and good discourse among the old men of Islands now and
+then rising and falling again in the Sea, and that there is many dangers
+of grounds and rocks that come just up to the edge almost of the sea, that
+is never discovered and ships perish without the world's knowing the
+reason of it.  Among other things, they observed, that there are but two
+seamen in the Parliament house, viz., Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen, and
+not above twenty or thirty merchants; which is a strange thing in an
+island, and no wonder that things of trade go no better nor are better
+understood.  Thence home, and all the afternoon at the office, only for an
+hour in the evening my Lady Jemimah, Paulina, and Madam Pickering come to
+see us, but my wife would not be seen, being unready.  Very merry with
+them; they mightily talking of their thrifty living for a fortnight before
+their mother came to town, and other such simple talk, and of their merry
+life at Brampton, at my father's, this winter.  So they being gone, to the
+office again till late, and so home and to supper and to bed.
+
+24th.  Called up by my father, poor man, coming to advise with me about
+Tom's house and other matters, and he being gone I down by water to
+Greenwich, it being very-foggy, and I walked very finely to Woolwich, and
+there did very much business at both yards, and thence walked back,
+Captain Grove with me talking, and so to Deptford and did the like-there,
+and then walked to Redriffe (calling and eating a bit of collops and eggs
+at Half-way house), and so home to the office, where we sat late, and home
+weary to supper and to bed.
+
+25th (Lady-day).  Up and by water to White Hall, and there to chappell;
+where it was most infinite full to hear Dr. Critton.  Being not knowne,
+some great persons in the pew I pretended to, and went in, did question my
+coming in.  I told them my pretence; so they turned to the orders of the
+chappell, which hung behind upon the wall, and read it; and were
+satisfied; but they did not demand whether I was in waiting or no; and so
+I was in some fear lest he that was in waiting might come and betray me.
+The Doctor preached upon the thirty-first of Jeremy, and the twenty-first
+and twenty-second verses, about a woman compassing a man; meaning the
+Virgin conceiving and bearing our Saviour.  It was the worst sermon I ever
+heard him make, I must confess; and yet it was good, and in two places
+very bitter, advising the King to do as the Emperor Severus did, to hang
+up a Presbyter John (a short coat and a long gowne interchangeably) in all
+the Courts of England.  But the story of Severus was pretty, that he
+hanged up forty senators before the Senate house, and then made a speech
+presently to the Senate in praise of his owne lenity; and then decreed
+that never any senator after that time should suffer in the same manner
+without consent of the Senate: which he compared to the proceeding of the
+Long Parliament against my Lord Strafford.  He said the greatest part of
+the lay magistrates in England were Puritans, and would not do justice;
+and the Bishopps, their powers were so taken away and lessened, that they
+could not exercise the power they ought.  He told the King and the ladies
+plainly, speaking of death and of the skulls and bones of dead men and
+women,
+
+     [The preacher appears to have had the grave scene in "Hamlet" in
+     his mind, as he gives the same illustration of Alexander as Hamlet
+     does.]
+
+how there is no difference; that nobody could tell that of the great
+Marius or Alexander from a pyoneer; nor, for all the pains the ladies take
+with their faces, he that should look in a charnels-house could not
+distinguish which was Cleopatra's, or fair Rosamond's, or Jane Shoare's.
+Thence by water home.  After dinner to the office, thence with my wife to
+see my father and discourse how he finds Tom's matters, which he do very
+ill, and that he finds him to have been so negligent, that he used to
+trust his servants with cutting out of clothes, never hardly cutting out
+anything himself; and, by the abstract of his accounts, we find him to owe
+above L290, and to be coming to him under L200.  Thence home with my wife,
+it being very dirty on foot, and bought some fowl in Gracious. Streets and
+some oysters against our feast to-morrow.  So home, and after at the
+office a while, home to supper and to bed.
+
+26th.  Up very betimes and to my office, and there read over some papers
+against a meeting by and by at this office of Mr. Povy, Sir W. Rider,
+Creed, and Vernaty, and Mr. Gauden about my Lord Peterborough's accounts
+for Tangier, wherein we proceeded a good way; but, Lord! to see how
+ridiculous Mr. Povy is in all he says or do; like a man not more fit for
+to be in such employments as he is, and particularly that of Treasurer
+(paying many and very great sums without the least written order) as he is
+to be King of England, and seems but this day, after much discourse of
+mine, to be sensible of that part of his folly, besides a great deal more
+in other things.  This morning in discourse Sir W. Rider [said], that he
+hath kept a journals of his life for almost these forty years, even to
+this day and still do, which pleases me mightily.  That being done Sir J.
+Minnes and I sat all the morning, and then I to the 'Change, and there got
+away by pretence of business with my uncle Wight to put off Creed, whom I
+had invited to dinner, and so home, and there found Madam Turner, her
+daughter The., Joyce Norton, my father and Mr. Honywood, and by and by
+come my uncle Wight and aunt.  This being my solemn feast for my cutting
+of the stone, it being now, blessed be God! this day six years since the
+time; and I bless God I do in all respects find myself free from that
+disease or any signs of it, more than that upon the least cold I continue
+to have pain in making water, by gathering of wind and growing costive,
+till which be removed I am at no ease, but without that I am very well.
+One evil more I have, which is that upon the least squeeze almost my cods
+begin to swell and come to great pain, which is very strange and
+troublesome to me, though upon the speedy applying of a poultice it goes
+down again, and in two days I am well again.  Dinner not being presently
+ready I spent some time myself and shewed them a map of Tangier left this
+morning at my house by Creed, cut by our order, the Commissioners, and
+drawn by Jonas Moore, which is very pleasant, and I purpose to have it
+finely set out and hung up.  Mrs. Hunt coming to see my wife by chance
+dined here with us.  After dinner Sir W. Batten sent to speak with me, and
+told me that he had proffered our bill today in the House, and that it was
+read without any dissenters, and he fears not but will pass very well,
+which I shall be glad of.  He told me also how Sir [Richard] Temple hath
+spoke very discontentfull words in the House about the Tryennial Bill; but
+it hath been read the second time to-day, and committed; and, he believes,
+will go on without more ado, though there are many in the House are
+displeased at it, though they dare not say much.  But above all
+expectation, Mr. Prin is the man against it, comparing it to the idoll
+whose head was of gold, and his body and legs and feet of different metal.
+So this Bill had several degrees of calling of Parliaments, in case the
+King, and then the Council, and then the Lord Chancellor, and then the
+Sheriffes, should fail to do it.  He tells me also, how, upon occasion of
+some 'prentices being put in the pillory to-day for beating of their
+masters, or some such like thing, in Cheapside, a company of 'prentices
+came and rescued them, and pulled down the pillory; and they being set up
+again, did the like again.  So that the Lord Mayor and Major Generall
+Browne was fain to come and stay there, to keep the peace; and drums, all
+up and down the city, was beat to raise the trained bands, for to quiett
+the towne, and by and by, going out with my uncle and aunt Wight by coach
+with my wife through Cheapside (the rest of the company after much content
+and mirth being broke up), we saw a trained band stand in Cheapside upon
+their guard.  We went, much against my uncle's will, as far almost as Hyde
+Park, he and my aunt falling out all the way about it, which vexed me, but
+by this I understand my uncle more than ever I did, for he was mighty soon
+angry, and wished a pox take her, which I was sorry to hear.  The weather
+I confess turning on a sudden to rain did make it very unpleasant, but yet
+there was no occasion in the world for his being so angry, but she bore
+herself very discreetly, and I must confess she proves to me much another
+woman than I thought her, but all was peace again presently, and so it
+raining very fast, we met many brave coaches coming from the Parke and so
+we turned and set them down at home, and so we home ourselves, and ended
+the day with great content to think how it hath pleased the Lord in six
+years time to raise me from a condition of constant and dangerous and most
+painfull sicknesse and low condition and poverty to a state of constant
+health almost, great honour and plenty, for which the Lord God of heaven
+make me truly thankfull.  My wife found her gowne come home laced, which
+is indeed very handsome, but will cost me a great deal of money, more than
+ever I intended, but it is but for once.  So to the office and did
+business, and then home and to bed.
+
+27th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed wrangling with my wife about the
+charge she puts me to at this time for clothes more than I intended, and
+very angry we were, but quickly friends again.  And so rising and ready I
+to my office, and there fell upon business, and then to dinner, and then
+to my office again to my business, and by and by in the afternoon walked
+forth towards my father's, but it being church time, walked to St.
+James's, to try if I could see the belle Butler, but could not; only saw
+her sister, who indeed is pretty, with a fine Roman nose.  Thence walked
+through the ducking-pond fields; but they are so altered since my father
+used to carry us to Islington, to the old man's, at the King's Head, to
+eat cakes and ale (his name was Pitts) that I did not know which was the
+ducking-pond nor where I was.  So through F[l]ee[t] lane to my father's,
+and there met Mr. Moore, and discoursed with him and my father about who
+should administer for my brother Tom, and I find we shall have trouble in
+it, but I will clear my hands of it, and what vexed me, my father seemed
+troubled that I should seem to rely so wholly upon the advice of Mr.
+Moore, and take nobody else, but I satisfied him, and so home; and in
+Cheapside, both coming and going, it was full of apprentices, who have
+been here all this day, and have done violence, I think, to the master of
+the boys that were put in the pillory yesterday. But, Lord! to see how the
+train-bands are raised upon this: the drums beating every where as if an
+enemy were upon them; so much is this city subject to be put into a
+disarray upon very small occasions.  But it was pleasant to hear the boys,
+and particularly one little one, that I demanded the business.  He told me
+that that had never been done in the city since it was a city, two
+prentices put in the pillory, and that it ought not to be so. So I walked
+home, and then it being fine moonshine with my wife an houre in the
+garden, talking of her clothes against Easter and about her mayds, Jane
+being to be gone, and the great dispute whether Besse, whom we both love,
+should be raised to be chamber-mayde or no.  We have both a mind to it,
+but know not whether we should venture the making her proud and so make a
+bad chamber-mayde of a very good natured and sufficient cook-mayde.  So to
+my office a little, and then to supper, prayers and to bed.
+
+28th.  This is the first morning that I have begun, and I hope shall
+continue to rise betimes in the morning, and so up and to my office, and
+thence about 7 o'clock to T. Trice, and advised with him about our
+administering to my brother Tom, and I went to my father and told him what
+to do; which was to administer and to let my cozen Scott have a letter of
+Atturny to follow the business here in his absence for him, who by that
+means will have the power of paying himself (which we cannot however
+hinder) and do us a kindness we think too.  But, Lord! what a shame,
+methinks, to me, that, in this condition, and at this age, I should know
+no better the laws of my owne country!  Thence to Westminster Hall, and
+spent till noon, it being Parliament time, and at noon walked with Creed
+into St. James's Parke, talking of many things, particularly of the poor
+parts and great unfitness for business of Mr. Povy, and yet what a show he
+makes in the world.  Mr. Coventry not being come to his chamber, I walked
+through the house with him for an hour in St. James's fields' talking of
+the same subject, and then parted, and back and with great impatience,
+sometimes reading, sometimes walking, sometimes thinking that Mr.
+Coventry, though he invited us to dinner with him, was gone with the rest
+of the office without a dinner.  At last, at past 4 o'clock I heard that
+the Parliament was not up yet, and so walked to Westminster Hall, and
+there found it so, and meeting with Sir J. Minnes, and being very hungry,
+went over with him to the Leg, and before we had cut a bit, the House
+rises, however we eat a bit and away to St. James's and there eat a second
+part of our dinner with Mr. Coventry and his brother Harry, Sir W. Batten
+and Sir W. Pen.  The great matter today in the House hath been, that Mr.
+Vaughan, the great speaker, is this day come to towne, and hath declared
+himself in a speech of an houre and a half, with great reason and
+eloquence, against the repealing of the Bill for Triennial Parliaments;
+but with no successe: but the House have carried it that there shall be
+such Parliaments, but without any coercive power upon the King, if he will
+bring this Act.  But, Lord! to see how the best things are not done
+without some design; for I perceive all these gentlemen that I was with
+to-day were against it (though there was reason enough on their side); yet
+purely, I could perceive, because it was the King's mind to have it; and
+should he demand any thing else, I believe they would give it him.  But
+this the discontented Presbyters, and the faction of the House will be
+highly displeased with; but it was carried clearly against them in the
+House.  We had excellent good table-talke, some of which I have entered in
+my book of stories.  So with them by coach home, and there find (bye my
+wife), that Father Fogourdy hath been with her to-day, and she is mightily
+for our going to hear a famous Reule preach at the French Embassador's
+house: I pray God he do not tempt her in any matters of religion, which
+troubles me; and also, she had messages from her mother to-day, who sent
+for her old morning-gown, which was almost past wearing; and I used to
+call it her kingdom, from the ease and content she used to have in the
+wearing of it.  I am glad I do not hear of her begging any thing of more
+value, but I do not like that these messages should now come all upon
+Monday morning, when my wife expects of course I should be abroad at the
+Duke's.  To the office, where Mr. Norman came and showed me a design of
+his for the storekeeper's books, for the keeping of them regular in order
+to a balance, which I am mightily satisfied to see, and shall love the
+fellow the better, as he is in all things sober, so particularly for his
+endeavour to do something in this thing so much wanted.  So late home to
+supper and to bed, weary-with walking so long to no purpose in the Park
+to-day.
+
+29th.  Was called up this morning by a messenger from Sir G. Carteret to
+come to him to Sir W. Batten's, and so I rose and thither to him, and with
+him and Sir J. Minnes to, Sir G. Carteret's to examine his accounts, and
+there we sat at it all the morning.  About noon Sir W. Batten came from
+the House of Parliament and told us our Bill for our office was read the
+second time to-day, with great applause, and is committed.  By and by to
+dinner, where good cheere, and Sir G. Carteret in his humour a very good
+man, and the most kind father and pleased father in his children that ever
+I saw.  Here is now hung up a picture of my Lady Carteret, drawn by Lilly,
+a very fine picture, but yet not so good as I have seen of his doing.
+After dinner to the business again without any intermission till almost
+night, and then home, and took coach to my father to see and discourse
+with him, and so home again and to my office, where late, and then home to
+bed.
+
+30th.  Up very betimes to my office, and thence at 7 o'clock to Sir G.
+Carteret, and there with Sir J. Minnes made an end of his accounts, but
+staid not dinner, my Lady having made us drink our morning draft there of
+several wines, but I drank: nothing but some of her coffee, which was
+poorly made, with a little sugar in it.  Thence to the 'Change a great
+while, and had good discourse with Captain Cocke at the Coffee-house about
+a Dutch warr, and it seems the King's design is by getting underhand the
+merchants to bring in their complaints to the Parliament, to make them in
+honour begin a warr, which he cannot in honour declare first, for fear
+they should not second him with money.  Thence homewards, staying a pretty
+while with my little she milliner at the end of Birchin Lane, talking and
+buying gloves of her, and then home to dinner, and in the afternoon had a
+meeting upon the Chest business, but I fear unless I have time to look
+after it nothing will be done,, and that I fear I shall not.  In the
+evening comes Sir W. Batten, who tells us that the Committee have approved
+of our bill with very few amendments in words, not in matter.  So to my
+office, where late with Sir W. Warren, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+31st.  Up betimes, and to my office, where by and by comes Povy, Sir W.
+Rider, Mr. Bland, Creed, and Vernatty, about my Lord Peterborough's
+accounts, which we now went through, but with great difficulty, and many
+high words between Mr. Povy and I; for I could not endure to see so many
+things extraordinary put in, against truthe and reason.  He was very
+angry, but I endeavoured all I could to profess my satisfaction in my
+Lord's part of the accounts, but not in those foolish idle things, they
+say I said, that others had put in.  Anon we rose and parted, both of us
+angry, but I contented, because I knew all of them must know I was in the
+right.  Then with Creed to Deptford, where I did a great deal of business
+enquiring into the business of canvas and other things with great content,
+and so walked back again, good discourse between Creed and I by the way,
+but most upon the folly of Povy, and at home found Luellin, and so we to
+dinner, and thence I to the office, where we sat all the afternoon late,
+and being up and my head mightily crowded with business, I took my wife by
+coach to see my father.  I left her at his house and went to him to an
+alehouse hard by, where my cozen Scott was, and my father's new tenant,
+Langford, a tailor, to whom I have promised my custom, and he seems a very
+modest, carefull young man.  Thence my wife coming with the coach to the
+alley end I home, and after supper to the making up my monthly accounts,
+and to my great content find myself worth above L900, the greatest sum I
+ever yet had.  Having done my accounts, late to bed.  My head of late
+mighty full of business, and with good content to myself in it, though
+sometimes it troubles me that nobody else but I should bend themselves to
+serve the King with that diligence, whereby much of my pains proves
+ineffectual.

+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.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

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

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

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

+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
+sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
+you got it from. If you received this etext on a physical

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

+     requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+     etext or this "small print!" statement.  You may however,
+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,

+                               1663-1664
+
+
+March 1st.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and at
+noon to the 'Change, and after much business and meeting my uncle Wight,
+who told me how Mr. Maes had like to have been trapanned yesterday, but
+was forced to run for it; so with Creed and Mr. Hunt home to dinner, and
+after a good and pleasant dinner, Mr. Hunt parted, and I took Mr. Creed
+and my wife and down to Deptford, it being most pleasant weather, and
+there till night discoursing with the officers there about several
+things, and so walked home by moonshine, it being mighty pleasant, and so
+home, and I to my office, where late about getting myself a thorough
+understanding in the business of masts, and so home to bed, my left eye
+being mightily troubled with rheum.
+
+2nd.  Up, my eye mightily out of order with the rheum that is fallen down
+into it, however, I by coach endeavoured to have waited on my Lord
+Sandwich, but meeting him in Chancery Lane going towards the City I
+stopped and so fairly walked home again, calling at St. Paul's
+Churchyarde, and there looked upon a pretty burlesque poem, called
+"Scarronides, or Virgile Travesty;" extraordinary good.  At home to the
+office till dinner, and after dinner my wife cut my hair short, which is
+growne pretty long again, and then to the office, and there till 9 at
+night doing business.  This afternoon we had a good present of tongues
+and bacon from Mr. Shales, of Portsmouth.  So at night home to supper,
+and, being troubled with my eye, to bed.  This morning Mr. Burgby, one of
+the writing clerks belonging to the Council, was with me about business,
+a knowing man, he complains how most of the Lords of the Council do look
+after themselves and their own ends, and none the publique, unless Sir
+Edward Nicholas.  Sir G. Carteret is diligent, but all for his own ends
+and profit.  My Lord Privy Scale, a destroyer of every body's business,
+and do no good at all to the publique.  The Archbishop of Canterbury
+speaks very little, nor do much, being now come to the highest pitch that
+he can expect.  He tells me, he believes that things will go very high
+against the Chancellor by Digby, and that bad things will be proved.
+Talks much of his neglecting the King; and making the King to trot every
+day to him, when he is well enough to go to visit his cozen Chief-Justice
+Hide, but not to the Council or King.  He commends my Lord of Ormond
+mightily in Ireland; but cries out cruelly of Sir G. Lane for his
+corruption; and that he hath done my Lord great dishonour by selling of
+places here, which are now all taken away, and the poor wretches ready to
+starve.  That nobody almost understands or judges of business better than
+the King, if he would not be guilty of his father's fault to be doubtfull
+of himself, and easily be removed from his own opinion.  That my Lord
+Lauderdale is never from the King's care nor council, and that he is a
+most cunning fellow.  Upon the whole, that he finds things go very bad
+every where; and even in the Council nobody minds the publique.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Up pretty early and so to the office, where we sat all the morning
+making a very great contract with Sir W. Warren for provisions for the
+yeare coming, and so home to dinner, and there was W. Howe come to dine
+with me, and before dinner he and I walked in the garden, and we did
+discourse together, he assuring me of what he told me the other day of my
+Lord's speaking so highly in my commendation to my Lord Peterborough and
+Povy, which speaks my Lord having yet a good opinion of me, and also how
+well my Lord and Lady both are pleased with their children's being at my
+father's, and when the bigger ladies were there a little while ago, at
+which I am very glad.  After dinner he went away, I having discoursed
+with him about his own proceedings in his studies, and I observe him to
+be very considerate and to mind his book in order to preferring himself
+by my Lord's favour to something, and I hope to the outing of Creed in
+his Secretaryship.  For he tells me that he is confident my Lord do not
+love him nor will trust him in any secret matter, he is so cunning and
+crafty in all he do.  So my wife and I out of doors thinking to have gone
+to have seen a play, but when we came to take coach, they tell us there
+are none this week, being the first of Lent.  But, Lord! to see how
+impatient I found myself within to see a play, I being at liberty once a
+month to see one, and I think it is the best method I could have taken.
+But to my office, did very much business with several people till night,
+and so home, being unwilling to stay late because of my eye which is not
+yet well of the rheum that is fallen down into it, but to supper and to
+bed.
+
+
+
+4th.  Up, my eye being pretty well, and then by coach to my Lord
+Sandwich, with whom I spoke, walking a good while with him in his garden,
+which and the house is very fine, talking of my Lord Peterborough's
+accounts, wherein he is concerned both for the foolery as also
+inconvenience which may happen upon my Lord Peterborough's ill-stating of
+his matters, so as to have his gaine discovered unnecessarily.  We did
+talk long and freely that I hope the worst is past and all will be well.
+There were several people by trying a new-fashion gun
+
+     [Many attempts to produce a satisfactory revolver were made in
+     former centuries, but it was not till the present one that Colt's
+     revolver was invented.  On February 18th, 1661, Edward, Marquis of
+     Worcester, obtained Letters Patent for "an invencon to make certeyne
+     guns or pistolls which in the tenth parte of one minute of an houre
+     may, with a flaske contrived to that purpose, be re-charged the
+     fourth part of one turne of the barrell which remaines still fixt,
+     fastening it as forceably and effectually as a dozen thrids of any
+     scrue, which in the ordinary and usual way require as many turnes."
+     On March 3rd, 1664, Abraham Hill obtained Letters Patent for a "gun
+     or pistoll for small shott, carrying seaven or eight charges of the
+     same in the stocke of the gun."]
+
+brought my Lord this morning, to shoot off often, one after another,
+without trouble or danger, very pretty.  Thence to the Temple, and there
+taking White's boat down to Woolwich, taking Mr. Shish at Deptford in my
+way, with whom I had some good discourse of the Navy business.  At
+Woolwich discoursed with him and Mr. Pett about iron worke and other
+businesses, and then walked home, and at Greenwich did observe the
+foundation laying of a very great house for the King, which will cost a
+great deale of money.
+
+     [Building by John Webb; now a part of Greenwich Hospital.  Evelyn
+     wrote in his Diary, October 19th, 1661: "I went to London to visite
+     my Lord of Bristoll, having been with Sir John Denham (his Mates
+     surveyor) to consult with him about the placing of his palace at
+     Greenwich, which I would have had built between the river and the
+     Queene's house, so as a large cutt should have let in ye Thames like
+     a bay; but Sir John was for setting it in piles at the very brink of
+     the water, which I did not assent to and so came away, knowing Sir
+     John to be a better poet than architect, tho' he had Mr. Webb (Inigo
+     Jones's man) to assist him."]
+
+So home to dinner, and my uncle Wight coming in he along with my wife and
+I by coach, and setting him down by the way going to Mr. Maes we two to
+my Lord Sandwich's to visit my Lady, with whom I left my wife
+discoursing, and I to White Hall, and there being met by the Duke of
+Yorke, he called me to him and discoursed a pretty while with me about
+the new ship's dispatch building at Woolwich, and talking of the charge
+did say that he finds always the best the most cheape, instancing in
+French guns, which in France you may buy for 4 pistoles, as good to look
+to as others of 16, but not the service.  I never had so much discourse
+with the Duke before, and till now did ever fear to meet him.  He found
+me and Mr. Prin together talking of the Chest money, which we are to
+blame not to look after.  Thence to my Lord's, and took up my wife, whom
+my Lady hath received with her old good nature and kindnesse, and so
+homewards, and she home, I 'lighting by the way, and upon the 'Change met
+my uncle Wight and told him my discourse this afternoon with Sir G.
+Carteret in Maes' business, but much to his discomfort, and after a dish
+of coffee home, and at my office a good while with Sir W. Warren talking
+with great pleasure of many businesses, and then home to supper, my wife
+and I had a good fowle to supper, and then I to the office again and so
+home, my mind in great ease to think of our coming to so good a respect
+with my Lord again, and my Lady, and that my Lady do so much cry up my
+father's usage of her children, and the goodness of the ayre there, found
+in the young ladies' faces at their return thence, as she says, as also
+my being put into the commission of the Fishery,
+
+     [There had been recently established, under the Great Seal of
+     England, a Corporation for the Royal Fishing, of which the Duke of
+     York was Governor, Lord Craven Deputy-Governor, and the Lord Mayor
+     and Chamberlain of London, for the time being, Treasurers, in which
+     body was vested the sole power of licensing lotteries ("The Newes,"
+     October 6th, 1664).  The original charter (dated April 8th, 1664),
+     incorporating James, Duke of York, and thirty-six assistants as
+     Governor and Company of the Royal Fishing of Great Britain and
+     Ireland, is among the State Papers.  The duke was to be Governor
+     till February 26th, 1665]
+
+for which I must give my Lord thanks, and so home to bed, having a great
+cold in my head and throat tonight from my late cutting my hair so close
+to my head, but I hope it will be soon gone again.
+
+
+
+5th.  Up and to the office, where, though I had a great cold, I was
+forced to speak much upon a publique meeting of the East India Company,
+at our office; where our own company was full, and there was also my Lord
+George Barkeley, in behalfe of the company of merchants (I suppose he is
+on that company), who, hearing my name, took notice of me, and condoled
+my cozen Edward Pepys's death, not knowing whose son I was, nor did
+demand it of me.  We broke up without coming to any conclusion, for want
+of my Lord Marlborough.  We broke up and I to the 'Change, where with
+several people and my uncle Wight to drink a dish of coffee, and so home
+to dinner, and then to the office all the afternoon, my eye and my throat
+being very bad, and my cold increasing so as I could not speak almost at
+all at night.  So at night home to supper, that is a posset, and to bed.
+
+
+
+6th (Lord's day).  Up, and my cold continuing in great extremity I could
+not go out to church, but sat all day (a little time at dinner excepted)
+in my closet at the office till night drawing up a second letter to Mr.
+Coventry about the measure of masts to my great satisfaction, and so in
+the evening home, and my uncle and aunt Wight came to us and supped with
+us, where pretty merry, but that my cold put me out of humour.  At night
+with my cold, and my eye also sore still, to bed.
+
+
+
+7th.  Up betimes, and the Duke being gone abroad to-day, as we heard by a
+messenger, I spent the morning at my office writing fair my yesterday's
+work till almost 2 o'clock (only Sir G. Carteret coming I went down a
+little way by water towards Deptford, but having more mind to have my
+business done I pretended business at the 'Change, and so went into
+another boat), and then, eating a bit, my wife and I by coach to the
+Duke's house, where we saw "The Unfortunate Lovers;" but I know not
+whether I am grown more curious than I was or no, but I was not much
+pleased with it, though I know not where to lay the fault, unless it was
+that the house was very empty, by reason of a new play at the other
+house.  Yet here was my Lady Castlemayne in a box, and it was pleasant to
+hear an ordinary lady hard by us, that it seems did not know her before,
+say, being told who she was, that "she was well enough."  Thence home,
+and I ended and sent away my letter to Mr. Coventry (having first read it
+and had the opinion of Sir W. Warren in the case), and so home to supper
+and to bed, my cold being pretty well gone, but my eye remaining still
+snare and rhumey, which I wonder at, my right eye ayling nothing.
+
+
+
+8th.  Up with some little discontent with my wife upon her saying that
+she had got and used some puppy-dog water, being put upon it by a desire
+of my aunt Wight to get some for her, who hath a mind, unknown to her
+husband, to get some for her ugly face.  I to the office, where we sat
+all the morning, doing not much business through the multitude of
+counsellors, one hindering another.  It was Mr. Coventry's own saying to
+me in his coach going to the 'Change, but I wonder that he did give me no
+thanks for my letter last night, but I believe he did only forget it.
+Thence home, whither Luellin came and dined with me, but we made no long
+stay at dinner; for "Heraclius"  being acted, which my wife and I have a
+mighty mind to see, we do resolve, though not exactly agreeing with the
+letter of my vowe, yet altogether with the sense, to see another this
+month, by going hither instead of that at Court, there having been none
+conveniently since I made my vowe for us to see there, nor like to be
+this Lent, and besides we did walk home on purpose to make this going as
+cheap as that would have been, to have seen one at Court, and my
+conscience knows that it is only the saving of money and the time also
+that I intend by my oaths, and this has cost no more of either, so that
+my conscience before God do after good consultation and resolution of
+paying my forfeit, did my conscience accuse me of breaking my vowe, I do
+not find myself in the least apprehensive that I have done any violence
+to my oaths.  The play hath one very good passage well managed in it,
+about two persons pretending, and yet denying themselves, to be son to
+the tyrant Phocas, and yet heire of Mauritius to the crowne.  The
+garments like Romans very well.  The little girle is come to act very
+prettily, and spoke the epilogue most admirably.  But at the beginning,
+at the drawing up of the curtaine, there was the finest scene of the
+Emperor and his people about him, standing in their fixed and different
+pastures in their Roman habitts, above all that ever I yet saw at any of
+the theatres.  Walked home, calling to see my brother Tom, who is in bed,
+and I doubt very ill of a consumption.  To the office awhile, and so home
+to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+9th.  Up pretty betimes to my office, where all day long, but a little at
+home at dinner, at my office finishing all things about Mr. Wood's
+contract for masts, wherein I am sure I shall save the King L400 before I
+have done.  At night home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+10th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning doing business, and at
+noon to the 'Change and there very busy, and so home to dinner with my
+wife, to a good hog's harslet,
+
+     [Harslet or haslet, the entrails of an animal, especially of a hog,
+     as the heart, liver, &c.]
+
+a piece of meat I love, but have not eat of I think these seven years,
+and after dinner abroad by coach set her at Mrs. Hunt's and I to White
+Hall, and at the Privy Seale I enquired, and found the Bill come for the
+Corporation of the Royall Fishery; whereof the Duke of Yorke is made
+present Governor, and several other very great persons, to the number of
+thirty-two, made his assistants for their lives: whereof, by my Lord
+Sandwich's favour, I am one; and take it not only as a matter of honour,
+but that, that may come to be of profit to me, and so with great content
+went and called my wife, and so home and to the office, where busy late,
+and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  Up and by coach to my Lord Sandwich's, who not being up I staid
+talking with Mr. Moore till my Lord was ready and come down, and went
+directly out without calling for me or seeing any body.  I know not
+whether he knew I was there, but I am apt to think not, because if he
+would have given me that slighting yet he would not have done it to
+others that were there.  So I went back again doing nothing but
+discoursing with Mr. Moore, who I find by discourse to be grown rich, and
+indeed not to use me at all with the respect he used to do, but as his
+equal.  He made me known to their Chaplin, who is a worthy, able man.
+Thence home, and by and by to the Coffee-house, and thence to the
+'Change, and so home to dinner, and after a little chat with my wife to
+the office, where all the afternoon till very late at the office busy,
+and so home to supper and to bed, hoping in God that my diligence, as it
+is really very useful for the King, so it will end in profit to myself.
+In the meantime I have good content in mind to see myself improve every
+day in knowledge and being known.
+
+
+
+12th.  Lay long pleasantly entertaining myself with my wife, and then up
+and to the office, where busy till noon, vexed to see how Sir J. Minnes
+deserves rather to be pitied for his dotage and folly than employed at a
+great salary to ruin the King's business.  At noon to the 'Change, and
+thence home to dinner, and then down to Deptford, where busy a while, and
+then walking home it fell hard a raining.  So at Halfway house put in,
+and there meeting Mr. Stacy with some company of pretty women, I took him
+aside to a room by ourselves, and there talked with him about the several
+sorts of tarrs, and so by and by parted, and I walked home and there late
+at the office, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+13th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed talking with my wife, and then up in
+great doubt whether I should not go see Mr. Coventry or no, who hath not
+been well these two or three days, but it being foul weather I staid
+within, and so to my office, and there all the morning reading some
+Common Law, to which I will allot a little time now and then, for I much
+want it.  At noon home to dinner, and then after some discourse with my
+wife, to the office again, and by and by Sir W. Pen came to me after
+sermon and walked with me in the garden and then one comes to tell me
+that Anthony and Will Joyce were come to see me, so I in to them and made
+mighty much of them, and very pleasant we were, and most of their
+business I find to be to advise about getting some woman to attend my
+brother Tom, whom they say is very ill and seems much to want one.  To
+which I agreed, and desired them to get their wives to enquire out one.
+By and by they bid me good night, but immediately as they were gone out
+of doors comes Mrs. Turner's boy with a note to me to tell me that my
+brother Tom was so ill as they feared he would not long live, and that it
+would be fit I should come and see him.  So I sent for them back, and
+they came, and Will Joyce desiring to speak with me alone I took him up,
+and there he did plainly tell me to my great astonishment that my brother
+is deadly ill, and that their chief business of coming was to tell me so,
+and what is worst that his disease is the pox, which he hath heretofore
+got, and hath not been cured, but is come to this, and that this is
+certain, though a secret told his father Fenner by the Doctor which he
+helped my brother to.  This troubled me mightily, but however I thought
+fit to go see him for speech of people's sake, and so walked along with
+them, and in our way called on my uncle Fenner (where I have not been
+these 12 months and more) and advised with him, and then to my brother,
+who lies in bed talking idle.  He could only say that he knew me, and
+then fell to other discourse, and his face like a dying man, which Mrs.
+Turner, who was here, and others conclude he is.  The company being gone,
+I took the mayde, which seems a very grave and serious woman, and in W.
+Joyce's company' did inquire how things are with her master.  She told me
+many things very discreetly, and said she had all his papers and books,
+and key of his cutting house, and showed me a bag which I and Wm. Joyce
+told, coming to L5 14s. 0d., which we left with her again, after giving
+her good counsel, and the boys, and seeing a nurse there of Mrs. Holden's
+choosing, I left them, and so walked home greatly troubled to think of my
+brother's condition, and the trouble that would arise to me by his death
+or continuing sick.  So at home, my mind troubled, to bed.
+
+
+
+14th.  Up, and walked to my brother's, where I find he hath continued
+talking idly all night, and now knows me not; which troubles me mightily.
+So I walked down and discoursed a great while alone with the mayde, who
+tells me many passages of her master's practices, and how she concludes
+that he has run behind hand a great while and owes money, and has been
+dunned by several people, among others by one Cave, both husband and
+wife, but whether it was for--[See April 6th]-- money or something worse
+she knows not, but there is one Cranburne, I think she called him, in
+Fleete Lane with whom he hath many times been mighty private, but what
+their dealings have been she knows not, but believes these were naught,
+and then his sitting up two Saturday nights one after another when all
+were abed doing something to himself, which she now suspects what it was,
+but did not before, but tells me that he hath been a very bad husband as
+to spending his time, and hath often told him of it, so that upon the
+whole I do find he is, whether he lives or dies, a ruined man, and what
+trouble will befall me by it I know not.  Thence to White Hall; and in
+the Duke's chamber, while he was dressing, two persons of quality that
+were there did tell his Royal Highness how the other night, in Holborne,
+about midnight, being at cards, a link-boy come by and run into the
+house, and told the people the house was a-falling.  Upon this the whole
+family was frighted, concluding that the boy had said that the house was
+a-fire: so they deft their cards above, and one would have got out of the
+balcone, but it was not open; the other went up to fetch down his
+children, that were in bed; so all got clear out of the house.  And no
+sooner so, but the house fell down indeed, from top to bottom.  It seems
+my Lord Southampton's canaille--[sewer]--did come too near their
+foundation, and so weakened the house, and down it came; which, in every
+respect, is a most extraordinary passage.  By and by into his closet and
+did our business with him.  But I did not speed as I expected in a
+business about the manner of buying hemp for this year, which troubled
+me, but it proceeds only from my pride, that I must needs expect every
+thing to be ordered just as I apprehend, though it was not I think from
+my errour, but their not being willing to hear and consider all that I
+had to propose.  Being broke up I followed my Lord Sandwich and thanked
+him for his putting me into the Fishery, which I perceive he expected,
+and cried "Oh!" says he, "in the Fishery you mean.  I told you I would
+remember you in it," but offered no other discourse.  But demanding
+whether he had any commands for me, methought he cried "No!" as if he had
+no more mind to discourse with me, which still troubles me and hath done
+all the day, though I think I am a fool for it, in not pursuing my
+resolution of going handsome in clothes and looking high, for that must
+do it when all is done with my Lord.  Thence by coach with Sir W. Batten
+to the city, and his son Castle, who talks mighty highly against Captain
+Tayler, calling him knave, and I find that the old Boating father is led
+and talks just as the son do, or the son as the father would have him.
+'Light and to Mr. Moxon's, and there saw our office globes in doing,
+which will be very handsome but cost money.  So to the Coffee-house, and
+there very fine discourse with Mr. Hill the merchant, a pretty, gentile,
+young, and sober man.  So to the 'Change, and thence home, where my wife
+and I fell out about my not being willing to have her have her gowne
+laced, but would lay out the same money and more on a plain new one.  At
+this she flounced away in a manner I never saw her, nor which I could
+ever endure.  So I away to the office, though she had dressed herself to
+go see my Lady Sandwich.  She by and by in a rage follows me, and coming
+to me tells me in spitefull manner like a vixen and with a look full of
+rancour that she would go buy a new one and lace it and make me pay for
+it, and then let me burn it if I would after she had done it, and so went
+away in a fury.  This vexed me cruelly, but being very busy I had, not
+hand to give myself up to consult what to do in it, but anon, I suppose
+after she saw that I did not follow her, she came again to the office,
+where I made her stay, being busy with another, half an houre, and her
+stomach coming down we were presently friends, and so after my business
+being over at the office we out and by coach to my Lady Sandwich's,.
+with whom I left my wife, and I to White Hall, where I met Mr. Delsety,
+and after an hour's discourse with him met with nobody to do other
+business with, but back again to my Lady, and after half an hour's
+discourse with her to my brother's, who I find in the same or worse
+condition.  The doctors give him over and so do all that see him.
+He talks no sense two, words together now; and I confess it made me weepe
+to see that he should not be able, when I asked him, to say who I was.
+I went to Mrs. Turner's, and by her discourse with my brother's Doctor,
+Mr. Powell, I find that she is full now of the disease which my brother
+is troubled with, and talks of it mightily, which I am sorry for, there
+being other company,  but methinks it should be for her honour to forbear
+talking of it, the shame of this very thing I confess troubles me as much
+as anything.  Back to my brother's and took my wife, and carried her to
+my uncle Fenner's and there had much private discourse with him.  He
+tells me of the Doctor's thoughts of my brother's little hopes of
+recovery, and from that to tell me his thoughts long of my brother's bad
+husbandry, and from that to say that he believes he owes a great deal of
+money, as to my cozen Scott I know not how much, and Dr. Thos. Pepys L30,
+but that the Doctor confesses that he is paid L20 of it, and what with
+that and what he owes my father and me I doubt he is in a very sad
+condition, that if he lives he will not be able to show his head, which
+will be a very great shame to me.  After this I went in to my aunt and my
+wife and Anthony Joyce and his wife, who were by chance there, and drank
+and so home, my mind and head troubled, but I hope it will [be] over in a
+little time one way or other.  After doing a little at my office of
+business I home to supper and to bed.  From notice that my uncle Fenner
+did give my father the last week of my brother's condition, my mother is
+coming up to towne, which also do trouble me.  The business between my
+Lords Chancellor and Bristoll, they say, is hushed up; and the latter
+gone or going, by the King's licence, to France.
+
+
+
+15th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and at noon
+comes Madam Turner and her daughter The., her chief errand to tell me
+that she had got Dr. Wiverly, her Doctor, to search my brother's mouth,
+where Mr. Powell says there is an ulcer, from thence he concludes that he
+hath had the pox.  But the Doctor swears that there is not, nor ever was
+any, and my brother being very sensible, which I was glad to hear, he did
+talk with him about it, and he did wholly disclaim that ever he had the
+disease, or that ever he said to Powell that he had it.  All which did
+put me into great comfort as to the reproach which was spread against
+him.  So I sent for a barrel of oysters, and they dined, and we were very
+merry, I being willing to be so upon this news.  After dinner we took
+coach and to my brother's, where contrary to my expectation he continues
+as bad or worse, talking idle, and now not at all knowing any of us as
+before.  Here we staid a great while, I going up and down the house
+looking after things.  In the evening Dr. Wiverley came again, and I sent
+for Mr. Powell (the Doctor and I having first by ourselves searched my
+brother again at his privities, where he was as clear as ever he was
+born, and in the Doctor's opinion had been ever so), and we three alone
+discoursed the business, where the coxcomb did give us his simple reasons
+for what he had said, which the Doctor fully confuted, and left the
+fellow only saying that he should cease to report any such thing, and
+that what he had said was the best of his judgment from my brother's
+words and a ulcer, as he supposed, in his mouth.  I threatened him that I
+would have satisfaction if I heard any more such discourse, and so good
+night to them two, giving the Doctor a piece for his fee, but the other
+nothing.  I to my brother again, where Madam Turner and her company, and
+Mrs. Croxton, my wife, and Mrs. Holding.  About 8 o'clock my brother
+began to fetch his spittle with more pain, and to speak as much but not
+so distinctly, till at last the phlegm getting the mastery of him, and he
+beginning as we thought to rattle, I had no mind to see him die, as we
+thought he presently would, and so withdrew and led Mrs. Turner home, but
+before I came back, which was in half a quarter of an hour, my brother
+was dead.  I went up and found the nurse holding his eyes shut, and he
+poor wretch lying with his chops fallen, a most sad sight, and that which
+put me into a present very great transport of grief and cries, and indeed
+it was a most sad sight to see the poor wretch lie now still and dead,
+and pale like a stone.  I staid till he was almost cold, while Mrs.
+Croxton, Holden, and the rest did strip and lay him out, they observing
+his corpse, as they told me afterwards, to be as clear as any they ever
+saw, and so this was the end of my poor brother, continuing talking idle
+and his lips working even to his last that his phlegm hindered his
+breathing, and at last his breath broke out bringing a flood of phlegm
+and stuff out with it, and so he died.  This evening he talked among
+other talk a great deal of French very plain and good, as, among others:
+'quand un homme boit quand il n'a poynt d'inclination a boire il ne luy
+fait jamais de bien.'  I once begun to tell him something of his
+condition, and asked him whither he thought he should go.  He in
+distracted manner answered me--"Why, whither should I go? there are but
+two ways: If I go, to the bad way I must give God thanks for it, and if I
+go the other way I must give God the more thanks for it; and I hope I
+have not been so undutifull and unthankfull in my life but I hope I shall
+go that way."  This was all the sense, good or bad, that I could get of
+him this day.  I left my wife to see him laid out, and I by coach home
+carrying my brother's papers, all I could find, with me, and having wrote
+a letter to, my father telling him what hath been said I returned by
+coach, it being very late, and dark, to my brother's, but all being gone,
+the corpse laid out, and my wife at Mrs. Turner's, I thither, and there
+after an hour's talk, we up to bed, my wife and I in the little blue
+chamber, and I lay close to my wife, being full of disorder and grief for
+my brother that I could not sleep nor wake with satisfaction, at last I
+slept till 5 or 6 o'clock.
+
+
+
+16th.  And then I rose and up, leaving my wife in bed, and to my
+brother's, where I set them on cleaning the house, and my wife coming
+anon to look after things, I up and down to my cozen Stradwicke's and
+uncle Fenner's about discoursing for the funeral, which I am resolved to
+put off till Friday next.  Thence home and trimmed myself, and then to
+the 'Change, and told my uncle Wight of my brother's death, and so by
+coach to my cozen Turner's and there dined very well, but my wife .  .  .
+.  in great pain we were forced to rise in some disorder, and in Mrs.
+Turner's coach carried her home and put her to bed.  Then back again with
+my cozen Norton to Mrs. Turner's, and there staid a while talking with
+Dr. Pepys, the puppy, whom I had no patience to hear.  So I left them and
+to my brother's to look after things, and saw the coffin brought; and by
+and by Mrs. Holden came and saw him nailed up.  Then came W. Joyce to me
+half drunk, and much ado I had to tell him the story of my brother's
+being found clear of what was said, but he would interrupt me by some
+idle discourse or other, of his crying what a good man, and a good
+speaker my brother was, and God knows what.  At last weary of him I got
+him away, and I to Mrs. Turner's, and there, though my heart is still
+heavy to think of my poor brother, yet I could give way to my fancy to
+hear Mrs. The. play upon the Harpsicon, though the musique did not please
+me neither.  Thence to my brother's and found them with my mayd Elizabeth
+taking an inventory of the goods of the house, which I was well pleased
+at, and am much beholden to Mr. Honeywood's man in doing of it.  His name
+is Herbert, one that says he knew me when he lived with Sir Samuel
+Morland, but I have forgot him.  So I left them at it, and by coach home
+and to my office, there to do a little business, but God knows my heart
+and head is so full of my brother's death, and the consequences of it,
+that I can do very little or understand it.  So home to supper, and after
+looking over some business in my chamber I to bed to my wife, who
+continues in bed in some pain still.  This day I have a great barrel of
+oysters given me by Mr. Barrow, as big as 16 of others, and I took it in
+the coach with me to Mrs. Turner's, and give them to her.  This day the
+Parliament met again, after a long prorogation, but what they have done I
+have not been in the way to hear.
+
+
+
+17th.  Up and to my brother's, where all the morning doing business
+against to-morrow, and so to my cozen Stradwicke's about the same
+business, and to the 'Change, and thence home to dinner, where my wife in
+bed sick still, but not so bad as yesterday.  I dined by her, and so to
+the office, where we sat this afternoon, having changed this day our
+sittings from morning to afternoons, because of the Parliament which
+returned yesterday; but was adjourned till Monday next; upon pretence
+that many of the members were said to be upon the road; and also the King
+had other affairs, and so desired them to adjourn till then.  But the
+truth is, the King is offended at my Lord of Bristol, as they say, whom
+he hath found to have been all this while (pretending a desire of leave
+to go into France, and to have all the difference between him and the
+Chancellor made up,) endeavouring to make factions in both Houses to the
+Chancellor.  So the King did this to keep the Houses from meeting; and in
+the meanwhile sent a guard and a herald last night to have taken him at
+Wimbleton, where he was in the morning, but could not find him: at which
+the King was and is still mightily concerned, and runs up and down to and
+from the Chancellor's like a boy: and it seems would make Digby's
+articles against the Chancellor to be treasonable reflections against his
+Majesty.  So that the King is very high, as they say; and God knows what
+will follow upon it!  After office I to my brother's again, and thence to
+Madam Turner's, in both places preparing things against to-morrow; and
+this night I have altered my resolution of burying him in the church
+yarde among my young brothers and sisters, and bury him in the church, in
+the middle isle, as near as I can to my mother's pew.  This costs me 20s.
+more.  This being all, home by coach, bringing my brother's silver
+tankard for safety along with me, and so to supper, after writing to my
+father, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+18th.  Up betimes, and walked to my brother's, where a great while
+putting things in order against anon; then to Madam Turner's and eat a
+breakfast there, and so to Wotton, my shoemaker, and there got a pair of
+shoes blacked on the soles against anon for me; so to my brother's and to
+church, and with the grave-maker chose a place for my brother to lie in,
+just under my mother's pew.  But to see how a man's tombes are at the
+mercy of such a fellow, that for sixpence he would, (as his owne words
+were,) "I will justle them together but I will make room for him;"
+speaking of the fulness of the middle isle, where he was to lie; and that
+he would, for my father's sake, do my brother that is dead all the
+civility he can; which was to disturb other corps that are not quite
+rotten, to make room for him; and methought his manner of speaking it was
+very remarkable; as of a thing that now was in his power to do a man a
+courtesy or not.  At noon my wife, though in pain, comes, but I being
+forced to go home, she went back with me, where I dressed myself, and so
+did Besse; and so to my brother's again: whither, though invited, as the
+custom is, at one or two o'clock, they came not till four or five.  But
+at last one after another they come, many more than I bid: and my
+reckoning that I bid was one hundred and twenty; but I believe there was
+nearer one hundred and fifty.  Their service was six biscuits apiece, and
+what they pleased of burnt claret.  My cosen Joyce Norton kept the wine
+and cakes above; and did give out to them that served, who had white
+gloves given them.  But above all, I am beholden to Mrs. Holden, who was
+most kind, and did take mighty pains not only in getting the house and
+every thing else ready, but this day in going up and down to see, the
+house filled and served, in order to mine, and their great content, I
+think; the men sitting by themselves in some rooms, and women by
+themselves in others, very close, but yet room enough.  Anon to church,
+walking out into the streete to the Conduit, and so across the streete,
+and had a very good company along with the corps.  And being come to the
+grave as above, Dr. Pierson, the minister of the parish, did read the
+service for buriall: and so I saw my poor brother laid into the grave;
+and so all broke up; and I and my wife and Madam Turner and her family to
+my brother's, and by and by fell to a barrell of oysters, cake, and
+cheese, of Mr. Honiwood's, with him, in his chamber and below, being too
+merry for so late a sad work.  But, Lord! to see how the world makes
+nothing of the memory of a man, an houre after he is dead!  And, indeed,
+I must blame myself; for though at the sight of him dead and dying, I had
+real grief for a while, while he was in my sight, yet presently after,
+and ever since, I have had very little grief indeed for him.  By and by,
+it beginning to be late, I put things in some order in the house, and so
+took my wife and Besse (who hath done me very good service in cleaning
+and getting ready every thing and serving the wine and things to-day, and
+is indeed a most excellent good-natured and faithful wench, and I love
+her mightily), by coach home, and so after being at the office to set
+down the day's work home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning, and at noon my wife
+and I alone, having a good hen, with eggs, to dinner, with great content.
+Then by coach to my brother's, where I spent the afternoon in paying some
+of the charges of the buriall, and in looking over his papers, among
+which I find several letters of my brother John's to him speaking very
+foale words of me and my deportment to him here, and very crafty designs
+about Sturtlow land and God knows what, which I am very glad to know, and
+shall make him repent them.  Anon my father and my brother John came to
+towne by coach.  I sat till night with him, giving him an account of
+things.  He, poor man, very sad and sickly.  I in great pain by a simple
+compressing of my cods to-day by putting one leg over another as I have
+formerly done, which made me hasten home, and after a little at the
+office in great disorder home to bed.
+
+
+
+20th (Lord's day).  Kept my bed all the morning, having laid a poultice
+to my cods last night to take down the tumour there which I got
+yesterday, which it did do, being applied pretty warm, and soon after the
+beginning of the swelling, and the pain was gone also.  We lay talking
+all the while, among other things of religion, wherein I am sorry so
+often to hear my wife talk of her being and resolving to die a
+Catholique,
+
+     [Mrs. Pepys's leaning towards Roman Catholicism was a constant
+     trouble to her husband; but, in spite of his fears, she died a
+     Protestant (Dr. Milles's certificate.)]
+
+and indeed a small matter, I believe, would absolutely turn her, which I
+am sorry for.  Up at noon to dinner, and then to my chamber with a fire
+till late at night looking over my brother Thomas's papers, sorting of
+them, among which I find many base letters of my brother John's to him
+against me, and carrying on plots against me to promote Tom's having of
+his Banbury' Mistress, in base slighting terms, and in worse of my sister
+Pall, such as I shall take a convenient time to make my father know, and
+him also to his sorrow.  So after supper to bed, our people rising to
+wash to-morrow.
+
+
+
+21st.  Up, and it snowing this morning a little, which from the mildness
+of the winter and the weather beginning to be hot and the summer to come
+on apace, is a little strange to us.  I did not go abroad for fear of my
+tumour, for fear it shall rise again, but staid within, and by and by my,
+father came, poor man, to me, and my brother John.  After much talke and
+taking them up to my chamber, I did there after some discourse bring in
+any business of anger--with John, and did before my father read all his
+roguish letters, which troubled my father mightily, especially to hear me
+say what I did, against my allowing any thing for the time to come to him
+out of my owne purse, and other words very severe, while he, like a
+simple rogue, made very silly and churlish answers to me, not like a man
+of any goodness or witt, at which I was as much disturbed as the other,
+and will be as good as my word in making him to his cost know that I will
+remember his carriage to me in this particular the longest day I live.
+It troubled me to see my poor father so troubled, whose good nature did
+make him, poor wretch, to yield, I believe, to comply with my brother Tom
+and him in part of their designs, but without any ill intent to me, or
+doubt of me or my good intentions to him or them, though it do trouble me
+a little that he should in any manner do it.  They dined with me, and
+after dinner abroad with my wife to buy some things for her, and I to the
+office, where we sat till night, and then, after doing some business at
+my closet, I home and to supper and to bed.  This day the Houses of
+Parliament met; and the King met them, with the Queene with him.  And he
+made a speech to them:
+
+     [March 16th, 1663-64.  This day both Houses met, and on the gist the
+     king opened the session with a speech from the throne, in which
+     occurs this Passage: "I pray, Mr. Speaker, and you, gentlemen of the
+     House of Commons, give that Triennial Bill once a reading in your
+     house, and then, in God's name, do what you think fit for me and
+     yourselves and the whole kingdom.  I need not tell you how much I
+     love parliaments.  Never king was so much beholden to parliaments as
+     I have been, nor do I think the crown can ever be happy without
+     frequent parliaments" (Cobbett's "Parliamentary History," vol. iv.,
+     cc. 290, 291).]
+
+among other things, discoursing largely of the plots abroad against him
+and the peace of the kingdom; and, among other things, that the
+dissatisfied party had great hopes upon the effect of the Act for a
+Triennial Parliament granted by his father, which he desired them to
+peruse, and, I think, repeal.  So the Houses did retire to their own
+House, and did order the Act to be read to-morrow before them; and I
+suppose it will be repealed, though I believe much against the will of a
+good many that sit there.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up, and spent the whole morning and afternoon at my office, only
+in the evening, my wife being at my aunt Wight's, I went thither, calling
+at my own house, going out found the parlour curtains drawn, and
+inquiring the reason of it, they told me that their mistress had got Mrs.
+Buggin's fine little dog and our little bitch, which is proud at this
+time, and I am apt to think that she was helping him to line her, for
+going afterwards to my uncle Wight's, and supping there with her, where
+very merry with Mr. Woolly's drollery, and going home I found the little
+dog so little that of himself he could not reach our bitch, which I am
+sorry for, for it is the finest dog that ever I saw in my life, as if he
+were painted the colours are so finely mixed and shaded.  God forgive me,
+it went against me to have my wife and servants look upon them while they
+endeavoured to do something .  .  .  .
+
+
+
+23rd.  Up, and going out saw Mrs. Buggin's dog, which proves as I thought
+last night so pretty that I took him and the bitch into my closet below,
+and by holding down the bitch helped him to line her, which he did very
+stoutly, so as I hope it will take, for it is the prettiest dog that ever
+I saw.  So to the office, where very busy all the morning, and so to the
+'Change, and off hence with Sir W. Rider to the Trinity House, and there
+dined very well: and good discourse among the old men of Islands now and
+then rising and falling again in the Sea, and that there is many dangers
+of grounds and rocks that come just up to the edge almost of the sea,
+that is never discovered and ships perish without the world's knowing the
+reason of it.  Among other things, they observed, that there are but two
+seamen in the Parliament house, viz., Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen, and
+not above twenty or thirty merchants; which is a strange thing in an
+island, and no wonder that things of trade go no better nor are better
+understood.  Thence home, and all the afternoon at the office, only for
+an hour in the evening my Lady Jemimah, Paulina, and Madam Pickering come
+to see us, but my wife would not be seen, being unready.  Very merry with
+them; they mightily talking of their thrifty living for a fortnight
+before their mother came to town, and other such simple talk, and of
+their merry life at Brampton, at my father's, this winter.  So they being
+gone, to the office again till late, and so home and to supper and to
+bed.
+
+
+
+24th.  Called up by my father, poor man, coming to advise with me about
+Tom's house and other matters, and he being gone I down by water to
+Greenwich, it being very-foggy, and I walked very finely to Woolwich,
+and there did very much business at both yards, and thence walked back,
+Captain Grove with me talking, and so to Deptford and did the like-
+there, and then walked to Redriffe (calling and eating a bit of collops
+and eggs at Half-way house), and so home to the office, where we sat
+late, and home weary to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+25th (Lady-day).  Up and by water to White Hall, and there to chappell;
+where it was most infinite full to hear Dr. Critton.  Being not knowne,
+some great persons in the pew I pretended to, and went in, did question
+my coming in.  I told them my pretence; so they turned to the orders of
+the chappell, which hung behind upon the wall, and read it; and were
+satisfied; but they did not demand whether I was in waiting or no; and so
+I was in some fear lest he that was in waiting might come and betray me.
+The Doctor preached upon the thirty-first of Jeremy, and the twenty-first
+and twenty-second verses, about a woman compassing a man; meaning the
+Virgin conceiving and bearing our Saviour.  It was the worst sermon I
+ever heard him make, I must confess; and yet it was good, and in two
+places very bitter, advising the King to do as the Emperor Severus did,
+to hang up a Presbyter John (a short coat and a long gowne
+interchangeably) in all the Courts of England.  But the story of Severus
+was pretty, that he hanged up forty senators before the Senate house, and
+then made a speech presently to the Senate in praise of his owne lenity;
+and then decreed that never any senator after that time should suffer in
+the same manner without consent of the Senate: which he compared to the
+proceeding of the Long Parliament against my Lord Strafford.  He said the
+greatest part of the lay magistrates in England were Puritans, and would
+not do justice; and the Bishopps, their powers were so taken away and
+lessened, that they could not exercise the power they ought.  He told the
+King and the ladies plainly, speaking of death and of the skulls and
+bones of dead men and women,
+
+     [The preacher appears to have had the grave scene in "Hamlet" in
+     his mind, as he gives the same illustration of Alexander as Hamlet
+     does.]
+
+how there is no difference; that nobody could tell that of the great
+Marius or Alexander from a pyoneer; nor, for all the pains the ladies
+take with their faces, he that should look in a charnels-house could not
+distinguish which was Cleopatra's, or fair Rosamond's, or Jane Shoare's.
+Thence by water home.  After dinner to the office, thence with my wife to
+see my father and discourse how he finds Tom's matters, which he do very
+ill, and that he finds him to have been so negligent, that he used to
+trust his servants with cutting out of clothes, never hardly cutting out
+anything himself; and, by the abstract of his accounts, we find him to
+owe above L290, and to be coming to him under L200.  Thence home with my
+wife, it being very dirty on foot, and bought some fowl in Gracious.
+Streets and some oysters against our feast to-morrow.  So home, and after
+at the office a while, home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+26th.  Up very betimes and to my office, and there read over some papers
+against a meeting by and by at this office of Mr. Povy, Sir W. Rider,
+Creed, and Vernaty, and Mr. Gauden about my Lord Peterborough's accounts
+for Tangier, wherein we proceeded a good way; but, Lord! to see how
+ridiculous Mr. Povy is in all he says or do; like a man not more fit for
+to be in such employments as he is, and particularly that of Treasurer
+(paying many and very great sums without the least written order) as he
+is to be King of England, and seems but this day, after much discourse of
+mine, to be sensible of that part of his folly, besides a great deal more
+in other things.  This morning in discourse Sir W. Rider [said], that he
+hath kept a journals of his life for almost these forty years, even to
+this day and still do, which pleases me mightily.  That being done Sir J.
+Minnes and I sat all the morning, and then I to the 'Change, and there
+got away by pretence of business with my uncle Wight to put off Creed,
+whom I had invited to dinner, and so home, and there found Madam Turner,
+her daughter The., Joyce Norton, my father and Mr. Honywood, and by and
+by come my uncle Wight and aunt.  This being my solemn feast for my
+cutting of the stone, it being now, blessed be God! this day six years
+since the time; and I bless God I do in all respects find myself free
+from that disease or any signs of it, more than that upon the least cold
+I continue to have pain in making water, by gathering of wind and growing
+costive, till which be removed I am at no ease, but without that I am
+very well.  One evil more I have, which is that upon the least squeeze
+almost my cods begin to swell and come to great pain, which is very
+strange and troublesome to me, though upon the speedy applying of a
+poultice it goes down again, and in two days I am well again.  Dinner not
+being presently ready I spent some time myself and shewed them a map of
+Tangier left this morning at my house by Creed, cut by our order, the
+Commissioners, and drawn by Jonas Moore, which is very pleasant, and I
+purpose to have it finely set out and hung up.  Mrs. Hunt coming to see
+my wife by chance dined here with us.  After dinner Sir W. Batten sent to
+speak with me, and told me that he had proffered our bill today in the
+House, and that it was read without any dissenters, and he fears not but
+will pass very well, which I shall be glad of.  He told me also how Sir
+[Richard] Temple hath spoke very discontentfull words in the House about
+the Tryennial Bill; but it hath been read the second time to-day, and
+committed; and, he believes, will go on without more ado, though there
+are many in the House are displeased at it, though they dare not say
+much.  But above all expectation, Mr. Prin is the man against it,
+comparing it to the idoll whose head was of gold, and his body and legs
+and feet of different metal.  So this Bill had several degrees of calling
+of Parliaments, in case the King, and then the Council, and then the Lord
+Chancellor, and then the Sheriffes, should fail to do it.  He tells me
+also, how, upon occasion of some 'prentices being put in the pillory
+to-day for beating of their masters, or some such like thing, in
+Cheapside, a company of 'prentices came and rescued them, and pulled down
+the pillory; and they being set up again, did the like again.  So that
+the Lord Mayor and Major Generall Browne was fain to come and stay there,
+to keep the peace; and drums, all up and down the city, was beat to raise
+the trained bands, for to quiett the towne, and by and by, going out with
+my uncle and aunt Wight by coach with my wife through Cheapside (the rest
+of the company after much content and mirth being broke up), we saw a
+trained band stand in Cheapside upon their guard.  We went, much against
+my uncle's will, as far almost as Hyde Park, he and my aunt falling out
+all the way about it, which vexed me, but by this I understand my uncle
+more than ever I did, for he was mighty soon angry, and wished a pox take
+her, which I was sorry to hear.  The weather I confess turning on a
+sudden to rain did make it very unpleasant, but yet there was no occasion
+in the world for his being so angry, but she bore herself very
+discreetly, and I must confess she proves to me much another woman than I
+thought her, but all was peace again presently, and so it raining very
+fast, we met many brave coaches coming from the Parke and so we turned
+and set them down at home, and so we home ourselves, and ended the day
+with great content to think how it hath pleased the Lord in six years
+time to raise me from a condition of constant and dangerous and most
+painfull sicknesse and low condition and poverty to a state of constant
+health almost, great honour and plenty, for which the Lord God of heaven
+make me truly thankfull.  My wife found her gowne come home laced, which
+is indeed very handsome, but will cost me a great deal of money, more
+than ever I intended, but it is but for once.  So to the office and did
+business, and then home and to bed.
+
+
+
+27th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed wrangling with my wife about the
+charge she puts me to at this time for clothes more than I intended, and
+very angry we were, but quickly friends again.  And so rising and ready I
+to my office, and there fell upon business, and then to dinner, and then
+to my office again to my business, and by and by in the afternoon walked
+forth towards my father's, but it being church time, walked to St.
+James's, to try if I could see the belle Butler, but could not; only
+saw her sister, who indeed is pretty, with a fine Roman nose.  Thence
+walked through the ducking-pond fields; but they are so altered since
+my father used to carry us to Islington, to the old man's, at the King's
+Head, to eat cakes and ale (his name was Pitts) that I did not know
+which was the ducking-pond nor where I was.  So through F[l]ee[t] lane
+to my father's, and there met Mr. Moore, and discoursed with him and my
+father about who should administer for my brother Tom, and I find we
+shall have trouble in it, but I will clear my hands of it, and what vexed
+me, my father seemed troubled that I should seem to rely so wholly upon
+the advice of Mr. Moore, and take nobody else, but I satisfied him, and
+so home; and in Cheapside, both coming and going, it was full of
+apprentices, who have been here all this day, and have done violence, I
+think, to the master of the boys that were put in the pillory yesterday.
+But, Lord! to see how the train-bands are raised upon this: the drums
+beating every where as if an enemy were upon them; so much is this city
+subject to be put into a disarray upon very small occasions.  But it was
+pleasant to hear the boys, and particularly one little one, that I
+demanded the business.  He told me that that had never been done in the
+city since it was a city, two prentices put in the pillory, and that it
+ought not to be so. So I walked home, and then it being fine moonshine
+with my wife an houre in the garden, talking of her clothes against
+Easter and about her mayds, Jane being to be gone, and the great dispute
+whether Besse, whom we both love, should be raised to be chamber-mayde or
+no.  We have both a mind to it, but know not whether we should venture
+the making her proud and so make a bad chamber-mayde of a very good
+natured and sufficient cook-mayde.  So to my office a little, and then to
+supper, prayers and to bed.
+
+
+
+28th.  This is the first morning that I have begun, and I hope shall
+continue to rise betimes in the morning, and so up and to my office, and
+thence about 7 o'clock to T. Trice, and advised with him about our
+administering to my brother Tom, and I went to my father and told him
+what to do; which was to administer and to let my cozen Scott have a
+letter of Atturny to follow the business here in his absence for him, who
+by that means will have the power of paying himself (which we cannot
+however hinder) and do us a kindness we think too.  But, Lord! what a
+shame, methinks, to me, that, in this condition, and at this age, I
+should know no better the laws of my owne country!  Thence to Westminster
+Hall, and spent till noon, it being Parliament time, and at noon walked
+with Creed into St. James's Parke, talking of many things, particularly
+of the poor parts and great unfitness for business of Mr. Povy, and yet
+what a show he makes in the world.  Mr. Coventry not being come to his
+chamber, I walked through the house with him for an hour in St. James's
+fields' talking of the same subject, and then parted, and back and with
+great impatience, sometimes reading, sometimes walking, sometimes
+thinking that Mr. Coventry, though he invited us to dinner with him, was
+gone with the rest of the office without a dinner.  At last, at past 4
+o'clock I heard that the Parliament was not up yet, and so walked to
+Westminster Hall, and there found it so, and meeting with Sir J. Minnes,
+and being very hungry, went over with him to the Leg, and before we had
+cut a bit, the House rises, however we eat a bit and away to St. James's
+and there eat a second part of our dinner with Mr. Coventry and his
+brother Harry, Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen.  The great matter today in
+the House hath been, that Mr. Vaughan, the great speaker, is this day
+come to towne, and hath declared himself in a speech of an houre and a
+half, with great reason and eloquence, against the repealing of the Bill
+for Triennial Parliaments; but with no successe: but the House have
+carried it that there shall be such Parliaments, but without any coercive
+power upon the King, if he will bring this Act.  But, Lord! to see how
+the best things are not done without some design; for I perceive all
+these gentlemen that I was with to-day were against it (though there was
+reason enough on their side); yet purely, I could perceive, because it
+was the King's mind to have it; and should he demand any thing else, I
+believe they would give it him.  But this the discontented Presbyters,
+and the faction of the House will be highly displeased with; but it was
+carried clearly against them in the House.  We had excellent good table-
+talke, some of which I have entered in my book of stories.  So with them
+by coach home, and there find (bye my wife), that Father Fogourdy hath
+been with her to-day, and she is mightily for our going to hear a famous
+Reule preach at the French Embassador's house: I pray God he do not tempt
+her in any matters of religion, which troubles me; and also, she had
+messages from her mother to-day, who sent for her old morning-gown, which
+was almost past wearing; and I used to call it her kingdom, from the ease
+and content she used to have in the wearing of it.  I am glad I do not
+hear of her begging any thing of more value, but I do not like that these
+messages should now come all upon Monday morning, when my wife expects of
+course I should be abroad at the Duke's.  To the office, where Mr. Norman
+came and showed me a design of his for the storekeeper's books, for the
+keeping of them regular in order to a balance, which I am mightily
+satisfied to see, and shall love the fellow the better, as he is in all
+things sober, so particularly for his endeavour to do something in this
+thing so much wanted.  So late home to supper and to bed, weary-with
+walking so long to no purpose in the Park to-day.
+
+
+
+29th.  Was called up this morning by a messenger from Sir G. Carteret to
+come to him to Sir W. Batten's, and so I rose and thither to him, and
+with him and Sir J. Minnes to, Sir G. Carteret's to examine his accounts,
+and there we sat at it all the morning.  About noon Sir W. Batten came
+from the House of Parliament and told us our Bill for our office was read
+the second time to-day, with great applause, and is committed.  By and by
+to dinner, where good cheere, and Sir G. Carteret in his humour a very
+good man, and the most kind father and pleased father in his children
+that ever I saw.  Here is now hung up a picture of my Lady Carteret,
+drawn by Lilly, a very fine picture, but yet not so good as I have seen
+of his doing.  After dinner to the business again without any
+intermission till almost night, and then home, and took coach to my
+father to see and discourse with him, and so home again and to my office,
+where late, and then home to bed.
+
+
+
+30th.  Up very betimes to my office, and thence at 7 o'clock to Sir G.
+Carteret, and there with Sir J. Minnes made an end of his accounts, but
+staid not dinner, my Lady having made us drink our morning draft there of
+several wines, but I drank: nothing but some of her coffee, which was
+poorly made, with a little sugar in it.  Thence to the 'Change a great
+while, and had good discourse with Captain Cocke at the Coffee-house
+about a Dutch warr, and it seems the King's design is by getting
+underhand the merchants to bring in their complaints to the Parliament,
+to make them in honour begin a warr, which he cannot in honour declare
+first, for fear they should not second him with money.  Thence homewards,
+staying a pretty while with my little she milliner at the end of Birchin
+Lane, talking and buying gloves of her, and then home to dinner, and in
+the afternoon had a meeting upon the Chest business, but I fear unless I
+have time to look after it nothing will be done,, and that I fear I shall
+not.  In the evening comes Sir W. Batten, who tells us that the Committee
+have approved of our bill with very few amendments in words, not in
+matter.  So to my office, where late with Sir W. Warren, and so home to
+supper and to bed.

+31st.  Up betimes, and to my office, where by and by comes Povy, Sir W.
+Rider, Mr. Bland, Creed, and Vernatty, about my Lord Peterborough's
+accounts, which we now went through, but with great difficulty, and many
+high words between Mr. Povy and I; for I could not endure to see so many
+things extraordinary put in, against truthe and reason.  He was very
+angry, but I endeavoured all I could to profess my satisfaction in my
+Lord's part of the accounts, but not in those foolish idle things, they
+say I said, that others had put in.  Anon we rose and parted, both of us
+angry, but I contented, because I knew all of them must know I was in the
+right.  Then with Creed to Deptford, where I did a great deal of business
+enquiring into the business of canvas and other things with great
+content, and so walked back again, good discourse between Creed and I by
+the way, but most upon the folly of Povy, and at home found Luellin, and
+so we to dinner, and thence I to the office, where we sat all the
+afternoon late, and being up and my head mightily crowded with business,
+I took my wife by coach to see my father.  I left her at his house and
+went to him to an alehouse hard by, where my cozen Scott was, and my
+father's new tenant, Langford, a tailor, to whom I have promised my
+custom, and he seems a very modest, carefull young man.  Thence my wife
+coming with the coach to the alley end I home, and after supper to the
+making up my monthly accounts, and to my great content find myself worth
+above L900, the greatest sum I ever yet had.  Having done my accounts,
+late to bed.  My head of late mighty full of business, and with good
+content to myself in it, though sometimes it troubles me that nobody else
+but I should bend themselves to serve the King with that diligence,
+whereby much of my pains proves ineffectual.
