+
+June 1st.  Up, having lain long, going to bed very late after the ending
+of my accounts.  Being up Mr. Hollyard came to me, and to my great sorrow,
+after his great assuring me that I could not possibly have the stone
+again, he tells me that he do verily fear that I have it again, and has
+brought me something to dissolve it, which do make me very much troubled,
+and pray to God to ease me.  He gone, I down by water to Woolwich and
+Deptford to look after the dispatch of the ships, all the way reading Mr.
+Spencer's Book of Prodigys, which is most ingeniously writ, both for
+matter and style.  Home at noon, and my little girl got me my dinner, and
+I presently out by water and landed at Somerset stairs, and thence through
+Covent Garden, where I met with Mr. Southwell (Sir W. Pen's friend), who
+tells me the very sad newes of my Lord Tiviott's and nineteen more
+commission officers being killed at Tangier by the Moores, by an ambush of
+the enemy upon them, while they were surveying their lines; which is very
+sad, and, he says, afflicts the King much.  Thence to W. Joyce's, where by
+appointment I met my wife (but neither of them at home), and she and I to
+the King's house, and saw "The Silent Woman;" but methought not so well
+done or so good a play as I formerly thought it to be, or else I am
+nowadays out of humour.  Before the play was done, it fell such a storm of
+hayle, that we in the middle of the pit were fain to rise;
+
+     [The stage was covered in by a tiled roof, but the pit was open to
+     the sky.  "The pit lay open to the weather for sake of light, but
+     was subsequently covered in with a glazed cupola, which, however,
+     only imperfectly protected the audience, so that in stormy weather
+     the house was thrown into disorder, and the people in the pit were
+     fain to rise" (Cunningham's "Story of Nell Gwyn," ed. 1893, p. 33).]
+
+and all the house in a disorder, and so my wife and I out and got into a
+little alehouse, and staid there an hour after the play was done before we
+could get a coach, which at last we did (and by chance took up Joyce
+Norton and Mrs. Bowles.  and set them at home), and so home ourselves, and
+I, after a little to my office, so home to supper and to bed.
+
+2nd.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and then to the
+'Change, where after some stay by coach with Sir J. Minnes and Mr.
+Coventry to St. James's, and there dined with Mr. Coventry very finely,
+and so over the Parke to White Hall to a Committee of Tangier about
+providing provisions, money, and men for Tangier.  At it all the
+afternoon, but it is strange to see how poorly and brokenly things are
+done of the greatest consequence, and how soon the memory of this great
+man is gone, or, at least, out of mind by the thoughts of who goes next,
+which is not yet knowne.  My Lord of Oxford, Muskerry, and several others
+are discoursed of.  It seems my Lord Tiviott's design was to go a mile and
+half out of the towne, to cut down a wood in which the enemy did use to
+lie in ambush.  He had sent several spyes; but all brought word that the
+way was clear, and so might be for any body's discovery of an enemy before
+you are upon them.  There they were all snapt, he and all his officers,
+and about 200 men, as they say; there being left now in the garrison but
+four captains.  This happened the 3d of May last, being not before that
+day twelvemonth of his entering into his government there: but at his
+going out in the morning he said to some of his officers, "Gentlemen, let
+us look to ourselves, for it was this day three years that so many brave
+Englishmen were knocked on the head by the Moores, when Fines made his
+sally out."  Here till almost night, and then home with Sir J. Minnes by
+coach, and so to my office a while, and home to supper and bed, being now
+in constant pain in my back, but whether it be only wind or what it is the
+Lord knows, but I fear the worst.
+
+3rd.  Up, still in a constant pain in my back, which much afflicts me with
+fear of the consequence of it.  All the morning at the office, we sat at
+the office extraordinary upon the business of our stores, but, Lord!  what
+a pitiful account the Surveyor makes of it grieves my heart. This morning
+before I came out I made a bargain with Captain Taylor for a ship for the
+Commissioners for Tangier, wherein I hope to get L40 or L50. To the
+'Change, and thence home and dined, and then by coach to White Hall,
+sending my wife to Mrs. Hunt's.  At the Committee for Tangier all the
+afternoon, where a sad consideration to see things of so great weight
+managed in so confused a manner as it is, so as I would not have the
+buying of an acre of land bought by the Duke of York and Mr. Coventry, for
+ought I see, being the only two that do anything like men; Prince Rupert
+do nothing but swear and laugh a little, with an oathe or two, and that's
+all he do.  Thence called my wife and home, and I late at my office, and
+so home to supper and to bed, pleased at my hopes of gains by to-day's
+work, but very sad to think of the state of my health.
+
+4th.  Up and to St. James's by coach, after a good deal of talk before I
+went forth with J. Noble, who tells me that he will secure us against
+Cave, that though he knows, and can prove it, yet nobody else can prove
+it, to be Tom's child; that the bond was made by one Hudson, a scrivener,
+next to the Fountaine taverne, in the Old Bayly; that the children were
+born, and christened, and entered in the parish-book of St. Sepulchre's,
+by the name of Anne and Elizabeth Taylor and he will give us security
+against Cave if we pay him the money.  And then up to the Duke, and was
+with him giving him an account how matters go, and of the necessity there
+is of a power to presse seamen, without which we cannot really raise men
+for this fleete of twelve sayle, besides that it will assert the King's
+power of pressing, which at present is somewhat doubted, and will make the
+Dutch believe that we are in earnest.  Thence by water to the office,
+where we sat till almost two o'clock.  This morning Captain Ferrer came to
+the office to tell me that my Lord hath given him a promise of Young's
+place in the Wardrobe, and hearing that I pretend a promise to it he comes
+to ask my consent, which I denied him, and told him my Lord may do what he
+pleases with his promise to me, but my father's condition is not so as
+that I should let it go if my Lord will stand to his word, and so I sent
+him going, myself being troubled a little at it.  After office I with Mr.
+Coventry by water to St. James's and dined with him, and had excellent
+discourse from him.  So to the Committee for Tangier all afternoon, where
+still the same confused doings, and my Lord Fitz-Harding now added to the
+Committee; which will signify much.  It grieves me to see how brokenly
+things are ordered.  So by coach home, and at my office late, and so to
+supper and to bed, my body by plenty of breaking of wind being just now
+pretty well again, having had a constant akeing in my back these 5 or 6
+days.  Mr. Coventry discoursing this noon about Sir W. Batten (what a sad
+fellow he is!) told me how the King told him the other day how Sir W.
+Batten, being in the ship with him and Prince Rupert when they expected to
+fight with Warwick, did walk up and down sweating with a napkin under his
+throat to dry up his sweat; and that Prince Rupert being a most jealous
+man, and particularly of Batten, do walk up and down swearing bloodily to
+the King, that Batten had a mind to betray them to-day, and that the
+napkin was a signal; "but, by God," says he, "if things go ill, the first
+thing I will do is to shoot him."  He discoursed largely and bravely to me
+concerning the different sort of valours, the active and passive valour.
+For the latter, he brought as an instance General Blake; who, in the
+defending of Taunton and Lime for the Parliament, did through his stubborn
+sort of valour defend it the most 'opiniastrement' that ever any man did
+any thing; and yet never was the man that ever made any attaque by land or
+sea, but rather avoyded it on all, even fair occasions.  On the other
+side, Prince Rupert, the boldest attaquer in the world for personal
+courage; and yet, in the defending of Bristol, no man ever did anything
+worse, he wanting the patience and seasoned head to consult and advise for
+defence, and to bear with the evils of a siege.  The like he says is said
+of my Lord Tiviott, who was the boldest adventurer of his person in the
+world, and from a mean man in few years was come to this greatness of
+command and repute only by the death of all his officers, he many times
+having the luck of being the only survivor of them all, by venturing upon
+services for the King of France that nobody else would; and yet no man
+upon a defence, he being all fury and no judgment in a fight.  He tells me
+above all of the Duke of Yorke, that he is more himself and more of
+judgement is at hand in him in the middle of a desperate service, than at
+other times, as appeared in the business of Dunkirke, wherein no man ever
+did braver things, or was in hotter service in the close of that day,
+being surrounded with enemies; and then, contrary to the advice of all
+about him, his counsel carried himself and the rest through them safe, by
+advising that he might make his passage with but a dozen with him; "For,"
+says he, "the enemy cannot move after me so fast with a great body, and
+with a small one we shall be enough to deal with them;" and though he is a
+man naturally martiall to the highest degree, yet a man that never in his
+life talks one word of himself or service of his owne, but only that he
+saw such or such a thing, and lays it down for a maxime that a Hector can
+have no courage.  He told me also, as a great instance of some men, that
+the Prince of Condo's excellence is, that there not being a more furious
+man in the world, danger in fight never disturbs him more than just to
+make him civill, and to command in words of great obligation to his
+officers and men; but without any the least disturbance in his judgment or
+spirit.
+
+5th (Lord's day).  About one in the morning I was knocked up by my mayds
+to come to my wife who is very ill.  I rose, and from some cold she got
+to-day, or from something else, she is taken with great gripings, a
+looseness, and vomiting.  I lay a while by her upon the bed, she being in
+great pain, poor wretch, but that being a little over I to bed again, and
+lay, and then up and to my office all the morning, setting matters to
+rights in some accounts and papers, and then to dinner, whither Mr.
+Shepley, late come to town, came to me, and after dinner and some pleasant
+discourse he went his way, being to go out of town to Huntington again
+to-morrow.  So all the afternoon with my wife discoursing and talking, and
+in the evening to my office doing business, and then home to supper and to
+bed.
+
+6th.  Up and found my wife very ill again, which troubles me, but I was
+forced to go forth.  So by water with Mr. Gauden and others to see a ship
+hired by me for the Commissioners of Tangier, and to give order therein.
+So back to the office, and by coach with Mr. Gauden to White Hall, and
+there to my Lord Sandwich, and here I met Mr. Townsend very opportunely
+and Captain Ferrer, and after some discourse we did accommodate the
+business of the Wardrobe place, that he shall have the reversion if he
+will take it out by giving a covenant that if Mr. Young' dyes before my
+father my father shall have the benefit of it for his life.  So home, and
+thence by water to Deptford, and there found our Trinity Brethren come
+from their election to church, where Dr. Britton made, methought, an
+indifferent sermon touching the decency that we ought to observe in God's
+house, the church, but yet to see how ridiculously some men will carry
+themselves.  Sir W. Batten did at open table anon in the name of the whole
+Society desire him to print his sermon, as if the Doctor could think that
+they were fit judges of a good sermon.  Then by barge with Sir W. Batten
+to Trinity House.  It seems they have with much ado carried it for Sir G.
+Carteret against Captain Harrison, poor man, who by succession ought to
+have been it, and most hands were for him, but only they were forced to
+fright the younger Brethren by requiring them to set their hands (which is
+an ill course) and then Sir G. Carteret carryed it.  Here was at dinner my
+Lord Sandwich, Mr. Coventry, my Lord Craven, and others. A great dinner,
+and good company.  Mr. Prin also, who would not drink any health, no, not
+the King's, but sat down with his hat on all the while;
+
+     [William Prynne had published in 1628 a small book against the
+     drinking of healths, entitled, "Healthes, Sicknesse; or a
+     compendious and briefe Discourse, prouing, the Drinking and Pledging
+     of Healthes to be sinfull and utterly unlawfull unto Christians
+     .  .  . wherein all those ordinary objections, excuses or pretences,
+     which are made to justifie, extenuate, or excuse the drinking or
+     pledging of Healthes are likewise cleared and answered."  The
+     pamphlet was dedicated to Charles I. as "more interessed in the
+     theame and subject of this compendious discourse then any other that
+     I know," and "because your Majestie of all other persons within your
+     owne dominions, are most dishonoured, prejudiced, and abused by
+     these Healthes."]
+
+but nobody took notice of it to him at all; but in discourse with the
+Doctor he did declare himself that he ever was, and has expressed himself
+in all his books for mixt communion against the Presbyterian examination.
+Thence after dinner by water, my Lord Sandwich and all us Tangier men,
+where at the Committee busy till night with great confusion, and then by
+coach home, with this content, however, that I find myself every day
+become more and more known, and shall one day hope to have benefit by it.
+I found my wife a little better.  A little to my office, then home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+7th.  Up and to the office (having by my going by water without any thing
+upon my legs yesterday got some pain upon me again), where all the
+morning.  At noon a little to the 'Change, and thence home to dinner, my
+wife being ill still in bed.  Thence to the office, where busy all the
+afternoon till 9 at night, and so home to my wife, to supper, and to bed.
+
+8th.  All day before dinner with Creed, talking of many things, among
+others, of my Lord's going so often to Chelsy, and he, without my speaking
+much, do tell me that his daughters do perceive all, and do hate the
+place, and the young woman there, Mrs. Betty Becke; for my Lord, who sent
+them thither only for a disguise for his going thither, will come under
+pretence to see them, and pack them out of doors to the Parke, and stay
+behind with her; but now the young ladies are gone to their mother to
+Kensington.  To dinner, and after dinner till 10 at night in my study
+writing of my old broken office notes in shorthand all in one book, till
+my eyes did ake ready to drop out.  So home to supper and to bed.
+
+9th.  Up and at my office all the morning.  At noon dined at home, Mr.
+Hunt and his kinswoman (wife in the country), after dinner I to the
+office, where we sat all the afternoon.  Then at night by coach to attend
+the Duke of Albemarle about the Tangier ship.  Coming back my wife spied
+me going home by coach from Mr. Hunt's, with whom she hath gained much in
+discourse to-day concerning W. Howe's discourse of me to him.  That he was
+the man that got me to be secretary to my Lord; and all that I have
+thereby, and that for all this I never did give him 6d. in my life. Which
+makes me wonder that this rogue dare talk after this manner, and I think
+all the world is grown false.  But I hope I shall make good use of it.  So
+home to supper and to bed, my eyes aching mightily since last night.
+
+10th.  Up and by water to White Hall, and there to a Committee of Tangier,
+and had occasion to see how my Lord Ashworth--[Lord Ashworth is probably a
+miswriting for Lord Ashley (afterwards Earl of Shaftesbury).]--deports
+himself, which is very fine indeed, and it joys my heart to see that there
+is any body looks so near into the King's business as I perceive he do in
+this business of my Lord Peterborough's accounts. Thence into the Parke,
+and met and walked with Captain Sylas Taylor, my old acquaintance while I
+was of the Exchequer, and Dr. Whore, talking of musique, and particularly
+of Mr. Berckenshaw's way, which Taylor magnifies mightily, and perhaps but
+what it deserves, but not so easily to be understood as he and others make
+of it.  Thence home by water, and after dinner abroad to buy several
+things, as a map, and powder, and other small things, and so home to my
+office, and in the evening with Captain Taylor by water to our Tangier
+ship, and so home, well pleased, having received L26 profit to-day of my
+bargain for this ship, which comforts me mightily, though I confess my
+heart, what with my being out of order as to my health, and the fear I
+have of the money my Lord oweth me and I stand indebted to him in, is much
+cast down of late.  In the evening home to supper and to bed.
+
+11th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, where some
+discourse arose from Sir G. Carteret and Mr. Coventry, which gives me
+occasion to think that something like a war is expected now indeed, though
+upon the 'Change afterwards I hear too that an Embassador is landed from
+Holland, and one from their East India Company, to treat with ours about
+the wrongs we pretend to.  Mr. Creed dined with me, and thence after
+dinner by coach with my wife only to take the ayre, it being very warm and
+pleasant, to Bowe and Old Ford; and thence to Hackney.  There 'light, and
+played at shuffle-board, eat cream and good churies; and so with good
+refreshment home.  Then to my office vexed with Captain Taylor about the
+delay of carrying down the ship hired by me for Tangier, and late about
+that and other things at the office.  So home to supper and to bed.
+
+12th (Lord's day).  All the morning in my chamber consulting my lesson of
+ship building, and at noon Mr. Creed by appointment came and dined with
+us, and sat talking all the afternoon till, about church time, my wife and
+I began our great dispute about going to Griffin's child's christening,
+where I was to have been godfather, but Sir J. Minnes refusing, he wanted
+an equal for me and my Lady Batten, and so sought for other.  Then the
+question was whether my wife should go, and she having dressed herself on
+purpose, was very angry, and began to talk openly of my keeping her within
+doors before Creed, which vexed me to the guts, but I had the discretion
+to keep myself without passion, and so resolved at last not to go, but to
+go down by water, which we did by H. Russell--[a waterman]--to the
+Half-way house, and there eat and drank, and upon a very small occasion
+had a difference again broke out, where without any the least cause she
+had the cunning to cry a great while, and talk and blubber, which made me
+mighty angry in mind, but said nothing to provoke her because Creed was
+there, but walked home, being troubled in my mind also about the knavery
+and neglect of Captain Fudge and Taylor, who were to have had their ship
+for Tangier ready by Thursday last, and now the men by a mistake are come
+on board, and not any master or man or boy of the ship's company on board
+with them when we came by her side this afternoon, and also received a
+letter from Mr. Coventry this day in complaint of it.  We came home, and
+after supper Creed went home, and I to bed.  My wife made great means to
+be friends, coming to my bedside and doing all things to please me, and at
+last I could not hold out, but seemed pleased, and so parted, and I with
+much ado to sleep, but was easily wakened by extraordinary great rain, and
+my mind troubled the more to think what the soldiers would do on board
+tonight in all this weather.
+
+13th.  So up at 5 o'clock, and with Captain Taylor on board her at
+Deptford, and found all out of order, only the soldiers civil, and Sir
+Arthur Bassett a civil person.  I rated at Captain Taylor, whom, contrary
+to my expectation, I found a lying and a very stupid blundering fellow,
+good for nothing, and yet we talk of him in the Navy as if he had been an
+excellent officer, but I find him a lying knave, and of no judgment or
+dispatch at all.  After finding the condition of the ship, no master, not
+above four men, and many ship's provisions, sayls, and other things
+wanting, I went back and called upon Fudge, whom I found like a lying
+rogue unready to go on board, but I did so jeer him that I made him get
+every thing ready, and left Taylor and H. Russell to quicken him, and so
+away and I by water on to White Hall, where I met his Royal Highnesse at a
+Tangier Committee about this very thing, and did there satisfy him how
+things are, at which all was pacified without any trouble, and I hope may
+end well, but I confess I am at a real trouble for fear the rogue should
+not do his work, and I come to shame and losse of the money I did hope
+justly to have got by it.  Thence walked with Mr. Coventry to St. James's,
+and there spent by his desire the whole morning reading of some old Navy
+books given him of old Sir John Cooke's by the Archbishop of Canterbury
+that now is; wherein the order that was observed in the Navy then, above
+what it is now, is very observable, and fine things we did observe in our
+reading.  Anon to dinner, after dinner to discourse of the business of the
+Dutch warr, wherein he tells me the Dutch do in every particular, which
+are but few and small things that we can demand of them, whatever cry we
+unjustly make, do seem to offer at an accommodation, for they do owne that
+it is not for their profit to have warr with England.  We did also talk of
+a History of the Navy of England, how fit it were to be writ; and he did
+say that it hath been in his mind to propose to me the writing of the
+History of the late Dutch warr, which I am glad to hear, it being a thing
+I much desire, and sorts mightily with my genius; and, if well done, may
+recommend me much.  So he says he will get me an order for making of
+searches to all records, &c., in order thereto, and I shall take great
+delight in doing of it.  Thence by water down to the Tower, and thither
+sent for Mr. Creed to my house, where he promised to be, and he and I down
+to the ship, and find all things in pretty good order, and I hope will end
+to my mind.  Thence having a gaily down to Greenwich, and there saw the
+King's works, which are great, a-doing there, and so to the Cherry Garden,
+and so carried some cherries home, and after supper to bed, my wife lying
+with me, which from my not being thoroughly well, nor she, we have not
+done above once these two or three weeks.
+
+14th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and had great
+conflict about the flags again, and am vexed methought to see my Lord
+Berkely not satisfied with what I said, but however I stop the King's
+being abused by the flag makers for the present.  I do not know how it may
+end, but I will do my best to preserve it.  So home to dinner, and after
+dinner by coach to Kensington.  In the way overtaking Mr. Laxton, the
+apothecary, with his wife and daughters, very fine young lasses, in a
+coach; and so both of us to my Lady Sandwich, who hath lain this fortnight
+here at Deane Hodges's.  Much company came hither to-day, my Lady
+Carteret, &c., Sir William Wheeler and his lady, and, above all, Mr.
+Becke, of Chelsy, and wife and daughter, my Lord's mistress, and one that
+hath not one good feature in her face, and yet is a fine lady, of a fine
+taille, and very well carriaged, and mighty discreet.  I took all the
+occasion I could to discourse with the young ladies in her company to give
+occasion to her to talk, which now and then she did, and that mighty
+finely, and is, I perceive, a woman of such an ayre, as I wonder the less
+at my Lord's favour to her, and I dare warrant him she hath brains enough
+to entangle him.  Two or three houres we were in her company, going into
+Sir H. Finche's garden, and seeing the fountayne, and singing there with
+the ladies, and a mighty fine cool place it is, with a great laver of
+water in the middle and the bravest place for musique I ever heard. After
+much mirthe, discoursing to the ladies in defence of the city against the
+country or court, and giving them occasion to invite themselves to-morrow
+to me to dinner, to my venison pasty, I got their mother's leave, and so
+good night, very well pleased with my day's work, and, above all, that I
+have seen my Lord's mistresse.  So home to supper, and a little at my
+office, and to bed.
+
+15th.  Up and by appointment with Captain Witham (the Captain that brought
+the newes of the disaster at Tangier, where my Lord Tiviott was slain) and
+Mr. Tooker to Beares Quay, and there saw and more afterward at the several
+grannarys several parcels of oates, and strange it is to hear how it will
+heat itself if laid up green and not often turned.  We came not to any
+agreement, but did cheapen several parcels, and thence away, promising to
+send again to them.  So to the Victualling office, and then home.  And in
+our garden I got Captain Witham to tell me the whole story of my Lord
+Tiviott's misfortune; for he was upon the guard with his horse neare the
+towne, when at a distance he saw the enemy appear upon a hill, a mile and
+a half off, and made up to them, and with much ado escaped himself; but
+what became of my Lord he neither knows nor thinks that any body but the
+enemy can tell.  Our losse was about four hundred.  But he tells me that
+the greater wonder is that my Lord Tiviott met no sooner with such a
+disaster; for every day he did commit himself to more probable danger than
+this, for now he had the assurance of all his scouts that there was no
+enemy thereabouts; whereas he used every day to go out with two or three
+with him, to make his discoveries, in greater danger, and yet the man that
+could not endure to have anybody else to go a step out of order to
+endanger himself.  He concludes him to be the man of the hardest fate to
+lose so much honour at one blow that ever was.  His relation being done he
+parted; and so I home to look after things for dinner.  And anon at noon
+comes Mr. Creed by chance, and by and by the three young ladies:--[Lord
+Sandwich's daughters.]--and very merry we were with our pasty, very well
+baked; and a good dish of roasted chickens; pease, lobsters, strawberries.
+And after dinner to cards: and about five o'clock, by water down to
+Greenwich; and up to the top of the hill, and there played upon the ground
+at cards.  And so to the Cherry Garden, and then by water singing finely
+to the Bridge, and there landed; and so took boat again, and to Somersett
+House.  And by this time, the tide being against us, it was past ten of
+the clock; and such a troublesome passage, in regard of my Lady Paulina's
+fearfullness, that in all my life I never did see any poor wretch in that
+condition.  Being come hither, there waited for them their coach; but it
+being so late, I doubted what to do how to get them home.  After half an
+hour's stay in the street, I sent my wife home by coach with Mr. Creed's
+boy; and myself and Creed in the coach home with them.  But, Lord! the
+fear that my Lady Paulina was in every step of the way; and indeed at this
+time of the night it was no safe thing to go that road; so that I was even
+afeard myself, though I appeared otherwise.--We came safe, however, to
+their house, where all were abed; we knocked them up, my Lady and all the
+family being in bed.  So put them into doors; and leaving them with the
+mayds, bade them good night, and then into the towne, Creed and I, it
+being about twelve o'clock and past; and to several houses, inns, but
+could get no lodging, all being in bed.  At the last house, at last, we
+found some people drinking and roaring; and there got in, and after
+drinking, got an ill bed, where
+
+16th.  I lay in my drawers and stockings and wastecoate till five of the
+clock, and so up; and being well pleased with our frolique, walked to
+Knightsbridge, and there eat a messe of creame, and so to St. James's, and
+there walked a little, and so I to White Hall, and took coach, and found
+my wife well got home last night, and now in bed.  So I to the office,
+where all the morning, and at noon to the 'Change, so home and to my
+office, where Mr. Ackworth came to me (though he knows himself and I know
+him to be a very knave), yet he came to me to discover the knavery of
+other people like the most honest man in the world.  However, good use I
+shall make of his discourse, for in this he is much in the right.  He
+being gone I to the 'Change, Mr. Creed with me, after we had been by water
+to see a vessell we have hired to carry more soldiers to Tangier, and also
+visited a rope ground, wherein I learnt several useful things. The talk
+upon the 'Change is, that De Ruyter is dead, with fifty men of his own
+ship, of the plague, at Cales: that the Holland Embassador here do
+endeavour to sweeten us with fair words; and things likely to be
+peaceable.  Home after I had spoke with my cozen Richard Pepys upon the
+'Change, about supplying us with bewpers from Norwich, which I should be
+glad of, if cheap.  So home to supper and bed.
+
+17th.  Up, and to my office, where I dispatched much business, and then
+down by water to Woolwich to make a discovery of a cheate providing for us
+in the working of some of our own ground Tows into new cordage, to be sold
+to us for Riga cordage.  Thence to Mr. Falconer's, where I met Sir W.
+Batten and Lady, and Captain Tinker, and there dined with them, and so to
+the Dockyarde and to Deptford by water, and there very long informing
+myself in the business of flags and bewpers and other things, and so home
+late, being weary, and full of good information to-day, but I perceive the
+corruptions of the Navy are of so many kinds that it is endless to look
+after them, especially while such a one as Sir W. Batten discourages every
+man that is honest.  So home to my office, there very late, and then to
+supper and to bed mightily troubled in my mind to hear how Sir W. Batten
+and Sir J. Minnes do labour all they can to abuse or enable others to
+abuse the King.
+
+18th.  From morning till 11 at night (only a little at dinner at home) at
+my office very busy, setting many businesses in order to my great trouble,
+but great content in the end.  So home to supper and to bed. Strange to
+see how pert Sir W. Pen is to-day newly come from Portsmouth with his head
+full of great reports of his service and the state of the ships there.
+When that is over he will be just as another man again or worse.  But I
+wonder whence Mr. Coventry should take all this care for him, to send for
+him up only to look after his Irish business with my Lord Ormond and to
+get the Duke's leave for him to come with so much officiousness, when I am
+sure he knows him as well as I do as to his little service he do.
+
+19th (Lord's day).  Up, and all the morning and afternoon (only at dinner
+at home) at my office doing many businesses for want of time on the week
+days.  In the afternoon the greatest shower of rain of a sudden and the
+greatest and most continued thunder that ever I heard I think in my life.
+In the evening home to my wife, and there talked seriously of several of
+our family concernments, and among others of bringing Pall out of the
+country to us here to try to put her off, which I am very desirous, and my
+wife also of.  So to supper, prayers, which I have of late too much
+omitted.  So to bed.
+
+20th.  It having been a very cold night last night I had got some cold,
+and so in pain by wind, and a sure precursor of pain is sudden letting off
+farts, and when that stops, then my passages stop and my pain begins. Up
+and did several businesses, and so with my wife by water to White Hall,
+she to her father's, I to the Duke, where we did our usual business.  And
+among other discourse of the Dutch, he was merrily saying how they print
+that Prince Rupert, Duke of Albemarle, and my Lord Sandwich, are to be
+Generalls; and soon after is to follow them "Vieux Pen;" and so the Duke
+called him in mirth Old Pen.  They have, it seems, lately wrote to the
+King, to assure him that their setting-out ships were only to defend their
+fishing-trade, and to stay near home, not to annoy the King's subjects;
+and to desire that he would do the like with his ships: which the King
+laughs at, but yet is troubled they should think him such a child, to
+suffer them to bring home their fish and East India Company's ships, and
+then they will not care a fart for us.  Thence to Westminster Hall, it
+being term time, meeting Mr. Dickering, he tells me how my Lady last week
+went to see Mrs. Becke, the mother; and by and by the daughter came in,
+but that my Lady do say herself, as he says, that she knew not for what
+reason, for she never knew they had a daughter, which I do not believe.
+She was troubled, and her heart did rise as soon as she appeared, and
+seems the most ugly woman that ever she saw.  This if true were strange,
+but I believe it is not.  Thence to my Lord's lodgings; and were merry
+with the young ladies, who make a great story of their appearing before
+their mother the morning after we carried them, the last week, home so
+late; and that their mother took it very well, at least without any anger.
+Here I heard how the rich widow, my Lady Gold, is married to one Neale,
+after he had received a box on the eare by her brother (who was there a
+sentinel, in behalf of some courtier) at the door; but made him draw, and
+wounded him.  She called Neale up to her, and sent for a priest, married
+presently, and went to bed.  The brother sent to the Court, and had a
+serjeant sent for Neale; but Neale sent for him up to be seen in bed, and
+she owned him for her husband: and so all is past.  It seems Sir H. Bennet
+did look after her.  My Lady very pleasant.  After dinner came in Sir
+Thomas Crew and Mr. Sidney, lately come from France, who is growne a
+little, and a pretty youth he is; but not so improved as they did give him
+out to be, but like a child still. But yet I can perceive he hath good
+parts and good inclinations.  Thence with Creed, who dined here, to
+Westminster to find out Mr. Hawly, and did, but he did not accept of my
+offer of his being steward to my Lord at sea.  Thence alone to several
+places about my law businesses, and with good success; at last I to Mr.
+Townsend at the Wardrobe, and received kind words from him to be true to
+me against Captain Ferrers his endeavours to get the place from my father
+as my Lord hath promised him. Here met Will. Howe, and he went forth with
+me; and by water back to White Hall to wait on my Lord, who is come back
+from Hinchinbroke; where he has been about 4 or 5 days.  But I was never
+more vexed to see how an over-officious visitt is received, for he
+received me with as little concernment as in the middle of his discontent,
+and a fool I am to be of so servile a humour, and vexed with that
+consideration I took coach home, and could not get it off my mind all
+night.  To supper and to bed, my wife finding fault with Besse for her
+calling upon Jane that lived with us, and there heard Mrs. Harper and her
+talk ill of us and not told us of it.  With which I was also vexed, and
+told her soundly of it till she cried, poor wench, and I hope without
+dissimulation, and yet I cannot tell; however, I was glad to see in what
+manner she received it, and so to sleep.
+
+21st.  Being weary yesterday with walking I sleep long, and at last up and
+to the office, where all the morning.  At home to dinner, Mr. Deane with
+me.  After dinner I to White Hall (setting down my wife by the way) to a
+Committee of Tangier, where the Duke of Yorke, I perceive, do attend the
+business very well, much better than any man there or most of them, and my
+[mind] eased of some trouble I lay under for fear of his thinking ill of
+me from the bad successe in the setting forth of these crew men to
+Tangier.  Thence with Mr. Creed, and walked in the Parke, and so to the
+New Exchange, meeting Mr. Moore, and he with us.  I shewed him no friendly
+look, but he took no notice to me of the Wardrobe business, which vexes
+me.  I perceive by him my Lord's business of his family and estate goes
+very ill, and runs in debt mightily.  I would to God I were clear of it,
+both as to my owne money and the bond of L1000, which I stand debtor for
+him in, to my cozen Thomas Pepys.  Thence by coach home and to my office a
+little, and so to supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up and I found Mr. Creed below, who staid with me a while, and then
+I to business all the morning.  At noon to the 'Change and Coffee-house,
+where great talke of the Dutch preparing of sixty sayle of ships. The
+plague grows mightily among them, both at sea and land.  From the 'Change
+to dinner to Trinity House with Sir W. Rider and Cutler, where a very good
+dinner.  Here Sir G. Ascue dined also, who I perceive desires to make
+himself known among the seamen.  Thence home, there coming to me my Lord
+Peterborough's Sollicitor with a letter from him to desire present
+dispatch in his business of freight, and promises me L50, which is good
+newes, and I hope to do his business readily for him.  This much rejoiced
+me.  All the afternoon at his business, and late at night comes the
+Sollicitor again, and I with him at 9 o'clock to Mr. Povy's, and there
+acquainted him with the business.  The money he won't pay without warrant,
+but that will be got done in a few days.  So home by coach and to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up, and to the office, and there we sat all the morning.  So to the
+'Change, and then home to dinner and to my office, where till 10 at night
+very busy, and so home to supper and to bed.  My cozen, Thomas Pepys, was
+with me yesterday and I took occasion to speak to him about the bond I
+stand bound for my Lord Sandwich to him in L1000.  I did very plainly,
+obliging him to secrecy, tell him how the matter stands, yet with all duty
+to my Lord my resolution to be bound for whatever he desires me for him,
+yet that I would be glad he had any other security. I perceive by Mr.
+Moore today that he hath been with my Lord, and my Lord how he takes it I
+know not, but he is looking after other security and I am mighty glad of
+it.  W. Howe was with me this afternoon, to desire some things to be got
+ready for my Lord against his going down to his ship, which will be soon;
+for it seems the King and both the Queenes intend to visit him.  The Lord
+knows how my Lord will get out of this charge; for Mr. Moore tells me
+to-day that he is L10,000 in debt and this will, with many other things
+that daily will grow upon him (while he minds his pleasure as he do), set
+him further backward.  But it was pretty this afternoon to hear W. Howe
+mince the matter, and say that he do believe that my Lord is in debt L2000
+or L3000, and then corrected himself and said, No, not so, but I am afraid
+he is in debt L1000.  I pray God gets me well rid of his Lordship as to
+his debt, and I care not.
+
+24th.  Up and out with Captain Witham in several places again to look for
+oats for Tangier, and among other places to the City granarys, where it
+seems every company have their granary and obliged to keep such a quantity
+of corne always there or at a time of scarcity to issue so much at so much
+a bushell: and a fine thing it is to see their stores of all sorts, for
+piles for the bridge, and for pipes, a thing I never saw before.
+
+     [From the commencement of the reign of Henry VIII., or perhaps
+     earlier, it was the custom of the City of London to provide against
+     scarcity, by requiring each of the chartered Companies to keep in
+     store a certain quantity of corn, which was to be renewed from time
+     to time, and when required for that purpose, produced in the market
+     for sale, at such times and prices, and in such quantities, as the
+     Lord Mayor or Common Council should direct.  See the report of a
+     case in the Court of Chancery, "Attorney-General v. Haberdashers'
+     Company" (Mylne and Keens "Reports," vol. i., p. 420).--B.]
+
+Thence to the office, and there busy all the morning.  At noon to my uncle
+Wight's, and there dined, my wife being there all the morning. After
+dinner to White Hall; and there met with Mr. Pierce, and he showed me the
+Queene's bed-chamber, and her closett, where she had nothing but some
+pretty pious pictures, and books of devotion; and her holy water at her
+head as she sleeps, with her clock by her bed-side, wherein a lamp burns
+that tells her the time of the night at any time.  Thence with him to the
+Parke, and there met the Queene coming from Chappell, with her Mayds of
+Honour, all in silver-lace gowns again: which is new to me, and that which
+I did not think would have been brought up again.  Thence he carried me to
+the King's closett: where such variety of pictures, and other things of
+value and rarity, that I was properly confounded and enjoyed no pleasure
+in the sight of them; which is the only time in my life that ever I was so
+at a loss for pleasure, in the greatest plenty of objects to give it me.
+Thence home, calling in many places and doing abundance of errands to my
+great content, and at night weary home, where Mr. Creed waited for me, and
+he and I walked in the garden, where he told me he is now in a hurry
+fitting himself for sea, and that it remains that he deals as an ingenuous
+man with me in the business I wot of, which he will do before he goes.
+But I perceive he will have me do many good turns for him first, both as
+to his bills coming to him in this office, and also in his absence at the
+Committee of Tangier, which I promise, and as he acquits himself to me I
+will willingly do.  I would I knew the worst of it, what it is he intends,
+that so I may either quit my hands of him or continue my kindness still to
+him.
+
+25th.  We staid late, and he lay with me all night and rose very merry
+talking, and excellent company he is, that is the truth of it, and a most
+cunning man.  He being gone I to the office, where we sat all the morning.
+At noon to dinner, and then to my office busy, and by and by home with Mr.
+Deane to a lesson upon raising a Bend of Timbers,
+
+     [This seems to refer to knee timber, of which there was not a
+     sufficient supply.  A proposal was made to produce this bent wood
+     artificially: "June 22, 1664.  Sir William Petty intimated that it
+     seemed by the scarcity and greater rate of knee timber that nature
+     did not furnish crooked wood enough for building: wherefore he
+     thought it would be fit to raise by art, so much of it in
+     proportion, as to reduce it to an equal rate with strait timber"
+     (Birch's "History of the Royal Society,")]
+
+and he being gone I to the office, and there came Captain Taylor, and he
+and I home, and I have done all very well with him as to the business of
+the last trouble, so that come what will come my name will be clear of any
+false dealing with him.  So to my office again late, and then to bed.
+
+26th (Lord's day).  Up, and Sir J. Minnes set me down at my Lord
+Sandwich's, where I waited till his coming down, when he came, too, could
+find little to say to me but only a general question or two, and so
+good-bye.  Here his little daughter, my Lady Katharine was brought, who is
+lately come from my father's at Brampton, to have her cheek looked after,
+which is and hath long been sore.  But my Lord will rather have it be as
+it is, with a scarr in her face, than endanger it being worse by
+tampering.  He being gone, I went home, a little troubled to see he minds
+me no more, and with Creed called at several churches, which, God knows,
+are supplied with very young men, and the churches very empty; so home and
+at our owne church looked in, and there heard one preach whom Sir W. Pen
+brought, which he desired us yesterday to hear, that had been his chaplin
+in Ireland, a very silly fellow.  So home and to dinner, and after dinner
+a frolique took us, we would go this afternoon to the Hope; so my wife
+dressed herself, and, with good victuals and drink, we took boat presently
+and the tide with us got down, but it was night, and the tide spent by the
+time we got to Gravesend; so there we stopped, but went not on shore, only
+Creed, to get some cherries,
+
+     [Pliny tells us that cherries were introduced into Britain by the
+     Romans, and Lydgate alludes to them as sold in the London streets.
+     Richard Haines, fruiterer to Henry VI IL, imported a number of
+     cherry trees from Flanders, and planted them at Tenham, in Kent.
+     Hence the fame of the Kentish cherries.]
+
+and send a letter to the Hope, where the Fleete lies.  And so, it being
+rainy, and thundering mightily, and lightning, we returned.  By and by the
+evening turned mighty clear and moonshine; we got with great pleasure
+home, about twelve o'clock, which did much please us, Creed telling pretty
+stories in the boat.  He lay with me all night.
+
+27th.  Up, and he and I walked to Paul's Church yard, and there saw Sir
+Harry Spillman's book, and I bespoke it and others, and thence we took
+coach, and he to my Lord's and I to St. James's, where we did our usual
+business, and thence I home and dined, and then by water to Woolwich, and
+there spent the afternoon till night under pretence of buying Captain
+Blackman's house and grounds, and viewing the ground took notice of
+Clothiers' cordage with which he, I believe, thinks to cheat the King.
+That being done I by water home, it being night first, and there I find
+our new mayd Jane come, a cook mayd.  So to bed.
+
+28th.  Up, and this day put on a half shirt first this summer, it being
+very hot; and yet so ill-tempered I am grown, that I am afeard I shall
+catch cold, while all the world is ready to melt away.  To the office all
+the morning, at noon to dinner at home, then to my office till the
+evening, then out about several businesses and then by appointment to the
+'Change, and thence with my uncle Wight to the Mum house, and there
+drinking, he do complain of his wife most cruel as the most troublesome
+woman in the world, and how she will have her will, saying she brought him
+a portion and God knows what.  By which, with many instances more, I
+perceive they do live a sad life together.  Thence to the Mitre and there
+comes Dr. Burnett to us and Mr. Maes, but the meeting was chiefly to bring
+the Doctor and me together, and there I began to have his advice about my
+disease, and then invited him to my house: and I am resolved to put myself
+into his hands.  Here very late, but I drank nothing, nor will, though he
+do advise me to take care of cold drinks.  So home and to bed.
+
+29th.  Up, and Mr. Shepley came to me, who is lately come to town; among
+other things I hear by him how the children are sent for away from my
+father's, but he says without any great discontent.  I am troubled there
+should be this occasion of difference, and yet I am glad they are gone,
+lest it should have come to worse.  He tells me how my brave dogg I did
+give him, going out betimes one morning to Huntington, was set upon by
+five other doggs, and worried to pieces, of which I am a little, and he
+the most sorry I ever saw man for such a thing.  Forth with him and walked
+a good way talking, then parted and I to the Temple, and to my cozen Roger
+Pepys, and thence by water to Westminster to see Dean Honiwood, whom I had
+not visited a great while.  He is a good-natured, but a very weak man, yet
+a Dean, and a man in great esteem.  Thence walked to my Lord Sandwich's,
+and there dined, my Lord there.  He was pleasant enough at table with me,
+but yet without any discourse of business, or any regard to me when dinner
+was over, but fell to cards, and my Lady and I sat two hours alone,
+talking of the condition of her family's being greatly in debt, and many
+children now coming up to provide for.  I did give her my sense very plain
+of it, which she took well and carried further than myself, to the
+bemoaning their condition, and remembering how finely things were ordered
+about six years ago, when I lived there and my Lord at sea every year.
+Thence home, doing several errands by the way.  So to my office, and there
+till late at night, Mr. Comander coming to me for me to sign and seal the
+new draft of my will, which I did do, I having altered something upon the
+death of my brother Tom.  So home to supper and to bed.
+
+30th.  Up, and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  At noon home
+to dinner, Mr. Wayth with me, and by and by comes in Mr. Falconer and his
+wife and dined with us, the first time she was ever here.  We had a pretty
+good dinner, very merry in discourse, sat after dinner an hour or two,
+then down by water to Deptford and Woolwich about getting of some business
+done which I was bound to by my oath this month, and though in some things
+I have not come to the height of my vow of doing all my business in paying
+all my petty debts and receipt of all my petty monies due to me, yet I
+bless God I am not conscious of any neglect in me that they are not done,
+having not minded my pleasure at all, and so being resolved to take no
+manner of pleasure till it be done, I doubt not God will forgive me for
+not forfeiting the L10 promised.  Walked back from Woolwich to Greenwich
+all alone, save a man that had a cudgell in his hand, and, though he told
+me he laboured in the King's yarde, and many other good arguments that he
+is an honest man, yet, God forgive me!  I did doubt he might knock me on
+the head behind with his club.  But I got safe home.  Then to the making
+up my month's accounts, and find myself still a gainer and rose to L951,
+for which God be blessed.  I end the month with my mind full of business
+and some sorrow that I have not exactly performed all my vowes, though my
+not doing is not my fault, and shall be made good out of my first leisure.
+Great doubts yet whether the Dutch wary go on or no.  The Fleet ready in
+the Hope, of twelve sayle. The King and Queenes go on board, they say, on
+Saturday next.  Young children of my Lord Sandwich gone with their mayds
+from my mother's, which troubles me, it being, I hear from Mr. Shepley,
+with great discontent, saying, that though they buy good meate, yet can
+never have it before it stinks, which I am ashamed of.
+
+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                 JULY
+                                 1664
+
+July 1st.  Up and within all the morning, first bringing down my Tryangle
+to my chamber below, having a new frame made proper for it to stand on. By
+and by comes Dr. Burnett, who assures me that I have an ulcer either in
+the kidneys or bladder, for my water, which he saw yesterday, he is sure
+the sediment is not slime gathered by heat, but is a direct pusse. He did
+write me down some direction what to do for it, but not with the
+satisfaction I expected.
+
+                       Dr. Burnett's advice to mee.
+
+                 The Originall is fyled among my letters.
+

+     handfulls, of Selfeheale, of Red Roses, of each one Handfull, of
+     Cynament, of Nutmegg, of each halfe an ounce.  Beate them well, then
+     powre upon them one Quart of old Rhenish wine, and about Six houres

+     noe new wine, and what wine you drinke, lett it bee at meales.-[From
+     a slip of paper inserted in the Diary at this place.]
+
+I did give him a piece, with good hopes, however, that his advice will be
+of use to me, though it is strange that Mr. Hollyard should never say one
+word of this ulcer in all his life to me.  He being gone, I to the
+'Change, and thence home to dinner, and so to my office, busy till the
+evening, and then by agreement came Mr. Hill and Andrews and one
+Cheswicke, a maister who plays very well upon the Spinette, and we sat
+singing Psalms till 9 at night, and so broke up with great pleasure, and
+very good company it is, and I hope I shall now and then have their
+company.  They being gone, I to my office till towards twelve o'clock, and
+then home and to bed.  Upon the 'Change, this day, I saw how uncertain the
+temper of the people is, that, from our discharging of about 200 that lay
+idle, having nothing to do, upon some of our ships, which were ordered to
+be fitted for service, and their works are now done, the towne do talk
+that the King discharges all his men, 200 yesterday and 800 to-day, and
+that now he hath got L100,000 in his hand, he values not a Dutch warr.
+But I undeceived a great many, telling them how it is.
+
+2nd.  Up and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change, and there, which is strange, I could meet with nobody that I
+could invite home to my venison pasty, but only Mr. Alsopp and Mr. Lanyon,
+whom I invited last night, and a friend they brought along with them.  So
+home and with our venison pasty we had other good meat and good discourse.
+After dinner sat close to discourse about our business of the victualling
+of the garrison of Tangier, taking their prices of all provisions, and I
+do hope to order it so that they and I also may get something by it, which
+do much please me, for I hope I may get nobly and honestly with profit to
+the King.  They being gone came Sir W. Warren, and he and I discoursed
+long about the business of masts, and then in the evening to my office,
+where late writing letters, and then home to look over some Brampton
+papers, which I am under an oathe to dispatch before I spend one half
+houre in any pleasure or go to bed before 12 o'clock, to which, by the
+grace of God, I will be true.  Then to bed.  When I came home I found that
+to-morrow being Sunday I should gain nothing by doing it to-night, and
+to-morrow I can do it very well and better than to-night.  I went to bed
+before my time, but with a resolution of doing the thing to better purpose
+to-morrow.
+
+3rd (Lord's day).  Up and ready, and all the morning in my chamber looking
+over and settling some Brampton businesses.  At noon to dinner, where the
+remains of yesterday's venison and a couple of brave green geese, which we
+are fain to eat alone, because they will not keepe, which troubled us.
+After dinner I close to my business, and before the evening did end it
+with great content, and my mind eased by it.  Then up and spent the
+evening walking with my wife talking, and it thundering and lightning all
+the evening, and this yeare have had the most of thunder and lightning
+they say of any in man's memory, and so it is, it seems, in France and
+everywhere else.  So to prayers and to bed.
+
+4th.  Up, and many people with me about business, and then out to several
+places, and so at noon to my Lord Crew's, and there dined and very much
+made of there by him.  He offered me the selling of some land of his in
+Cambridgeshire, a purchase of about L1000, and if I can compass it I will.
+After dinner I walked homeward, still doing business by the way, and at
+home find my wife this day of her owne accord to have lain out 25s. upon a
+pair of pendantes for her eares, which did vex me and brought both me and
+her to very high and very foule words from her to me, such as trouble me
+to think she should have in her mouth, and reflecting upon our old
+differences, which I hate to have remembered.  I vowed to breake them, or
+that she should go and get what she could for them again.  I went with
+that resolution out of doors; the poor wretch afterwards in a little while
+did send out to change them for her money again.  I followed Besse her
+messenger at the 'Change, and there did consult and sent her back; I would
+not have them changed, being satisfied that she yielded. So went home, and
+friends again as to that business; but the words I could not get out of my
+mind, and so went to bed at night discontented, and she came to bed to me,
+but all would not make me friends, but sleep and rise in the morning
+angry.  This day the King and the Queene went to visit my Lord Sandwich
+and the fleete, going forth in the Hope.
+
+     ["Their Majesties were treated at Tilbury Hope by the Earl of
+     Sandwich, returning the same day, abundantly satisfied both with the
+     dutiful respects of that honourable person and with the excellent
+     condition of all matters committed to his charge" ("The Newes," July
+     7th, 1664).--B.]
+
+5th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon to the 'Change
+a little, then with W. Howe home and dined.  So after dinner to my office,
+and there busy till late at night, having had among other things much
+discourse with young Gregory about the Chest business, wherein Sir W.
+Batten is so great a knave, and also with Alsop and Lanyon about the
+Tangier victualling, wherein I hope to get something for myself.  Late
+home to supper and to bed, being full of thoughts of a sudden resolution
+this day taken upon the 'Change of going down to-morrow to the Hope.
+
+6th.  Up very betimes, and my wife also, and got us ready; and about eight
+o'clock, having got some bottles of wine and beer and neat's tongues, we
+went to our barge at the Towre, where Mr. Pierce and his wife, and a
+kinswoman and his sister, and Mrs. Clerke and her sister and cozen were to
+expect us; and so set out for the Hope, all the way down playing at cards
+and other sports, spending our time pretty merry.  Come to the Hope about
+one and there showed them all the ships, and had a collacion of anchovies,
+gammon, &c., and after an houre's stay or more, embarked again for home;
+and so to cards and other sports till we came to Greenwich, and there Mrs.
+Clerke and my wife and I on shore to an alehouse, for them to do their
+business, and so to the barge again, having shown them the King's pleasure
+boat; and so home to the Bridge, bringing night home with us; and it
+rained hard, but we got them on foot to the Beare, and there put them into
+a boat, and I back to my wife in the barge, and so to the Tower Wharf and
+home, being very well pleased today with the company, especially Mrs.
+Pierce, who continues her complexion as well as ever, and hath, at this
+day, I think, the best complexion that ever I saw on any woman, young or
+old, or child either, all days of my life.  Also Mrs. Clerke's kinswoman
+sings very prettily, but is very confident in it; Mrs. Clerke herself
+witty, but spoils all in being so conceited and making so great a flutter
+with a few fine clothes and some bad tawdry things worne with them.  But
+the charge of the barge lies heavy upon me, which troubles me, but it is
+but once, and I may make Pierce do me some courtesy as great.  Being come
+home, I weary to bed with sitting.  The reason of Dr. Clerke's not being
+here was the King's being sicke last night and let blood, and so he durst
+not come away to-day.
+
+7th.  Up, and this day begun, the first day this year, to put off my
+linnen waistcoat, but it happening to be a cool day I was afraid of taking
+cold, which troubles me, and is the greatest pain I have in the world to
+think of my bad temper of my health.  At the office all the morning.
+Dined at home, to my office to prepare some things against a Committee of
+Tangier this afternoon.  So to White Hall, and there found the Duke and
+twenty more reading their commission (of which I am, and was also sent to,
+to come) for the Royall Fishery, which is very large, and a very serious
+charter it is; but the company generally so ill fitted for so serious a
+worke that I do much fear it will come to little.  That being done, and
+not being able to do any thing for lacke of an oathe for the Governor and
+Assistants to take, we rose.  Then our Committee for the Tangier
+victualling met and did a little, and so up, and I and Mr. Coventry walked
+in the garden half an hour, talking of the business of our masts, and
+thence away and with Creed walked half an hour or more in the Park, and
+thence to the New Exchange to drink some creame, but missed it and so
+parted, and I home, calling by the way for my new bookes, viz., Sir H.
+Spillman's "Whole Glossary," "Scapula's Lexicon," and Shakespeare's plays,
+which I have got money out of my stationer's bills to pay for.  So home
+and to my office a while, and then home and to bed, finding myself pretty
+well for all my waistecoate being put off to-day. The king is pretty well
+to-day, though let blood the night before yesterday.
+
+8th.  Up and called out by my Lord Peterborough's gentleman to Mr. Povy's
+to discourse about getting of his money, wherein I am concerned in hopes
+of the L50 my Lord hath promised me, but I dare not reckon myself sure of
+it till I have it in my main,--[hand.]--for these Lords are hard to be
+trusted.  Though I well deserve it.  I staid at Povy's for his coming in,
+and there looked over his stables and every thing, but notwithstanding all
+the times I have been there I do yet find many fine things to look on.
+Thence to White Hall a little, to hear how the King do, he not having been
+well these three days.  I find that he is pretty well again. So to Paul's
+Churchyarde about my books, and to the binder's and directed the doing of
+my Chaucer,
+
+     [This was Speght's edition of 1602, which is still in the Pepysian
+     Library.  The book is bound in calf, with brass clasps and bosses.
+     It is not lettered.]
+
+though they were not full neate enough for me, but pretty well it is; and
+thence to the clasp-maker's to have it clasped and bossed.  So to the
+'Change and home to dinner, and so to my office till 5 o'clock, and then
+came Mr. Hill and Andrews, and we sung an houre or two.  Then broke up and
+Mr. Alsop and his company came and consulted about our Tangier victualling
+and brought it to a good head.  So they parted, and I to supper and to
+bed.
+
+9th.  Up, and at the office all the morning.  In the afternoon by coach
+with Sir J. Minnes to White Hall, and there to a Committee for Fishing;
+but the first thing was swearing to be true to the Company, and we were
+all sworne; but a great dispute we had, which, methought, is very ominous
+to the Company; some, that we should swear to be true to the best of our
+power, and others to the best of our understanding; and carried in the
+last, though in that we are the least able to serve the Company, because
+we would not be obliged to attend the business when we can, but when we
+list.  This consideration did displease me, but it was voted and so went.
+We did nothing else, but broke up till a Committee of Guinny was set and
+ended, and then met again for Tangier, and there I did my business about
+my Lord Peterborough's order and my own for my expenses for the garrison
+lately.  So home, by the way calling for my Chaucer and other books, and
+that is well done to my mind, which pleased me well.  So to my office till
+late writing letters, and so home to my wife to supper and bed, where we
+have not lain together because of the heat of the weather a good while,
+but now against her going into the country.
+
+10th (Lord's day).  Up and by water, towards noon, to Somersett House, and
+walked to my Lord Sandwich's, and there dined with my Lady and the
+children.  And after some ordinary discourse with my Lady, after dinner
+took our leaves and my wife hers, in order to her going to the country
+to-morrow.  But my Lord took not occasion to speak one word of my father
+or mother about the children at all, which I wonder at, and begin I will
+not.  Here my Lady showed us my Lady Castlemayne's picture, finely done;
+given my Lord; and a most beautiful picture it is.  Thence with my Lady
+Jemimah and Mr. Sidney to St. Gyles's Church, and there heard a long,
+poore sermon.  Thence set them down and in their coach to Kate Joyce's
+christening, where much company, good service of sweetmeates; and after an
+houre's stay, left them, and in my Lord's coach--his noble, rich
+coach--home, and there my wife fell to putting things in order against her
+going to-morrow, and I to read, and so to bed, where I not well, and so
+had no pleasure at all with my poor wife.
+
+11th.  But betimes up this morning, and, getting ready, we by coach to
+Holborne, where, at nine o'clock, they set out, and I and my man Will on
+horseback, by my wife, to Barnett; a very pleasant day; and there dined
+with her company, which was very good; a pretty gentlewoman with her, that
+goes but to Huntington, and a neighbour to us in towne.  Here we staid two
+hours and then parted for all together, and my poor wife I shall soon want
+I am sure.  Thence I and Will to see the Wells, half a mile off,
+
+     [The mineral springs at Barnet Common, nearly a mile to the west of
+     High Barnet.  The discovery of the wells was announced in the
+     "Perfect Diurnall" of June 5th, 1652, and Fuller, writing in 1662,
+     says that there are hopes that the waters may "save as many lives as
+     were lost in the fatal battle at Barnet" ("Worthies," Herts).  A
+     pamphlet on "The Barnet Well Water" was published by the Rev. W. M.
+     Trinder, M.D., as late as the year 1800, but in 1840 the old well-
+     house was pulled down.]
+
+and there I drank three glasses, and went and walked and came back and
+drunk two more; the woman would have had me drink three more; but I could
+not, my belly being full, but this wrought very well, and so we rode home,
+round by Kingsland, Hackney, and Mile End till we were quite weary, and my
+water working at least 7 or 8 times upon the road, which pleased me well,
+and so home weary, and not being very well, I betimes to bed, and there
+fell into a most mighty sweat in the night, about eleven o'clock, and
+there, knowing what money I have in the house and hearing a noyse, I begun
+to sweat worse and worse, till I melted almost to water. I rung, and could
+not in half an houre make either of the wenches hear me, and this made me
+fear the more, lest they might be gaga; and then I begun to think that
+there was some design in a stone being flung at the window over our
+stayres this evening, by which the thiefes meant to try what looking there
+would be after them and know our company.  These thoughts and fears I had,
+and do hence apprehend the fears of all rich men that are covetous and
+have much money by them.  At last Jane rose, and then I understand it was
+only the dogg wants a lodging and so made a noyse.  So to bed, but hardly
+slept, at last did, and so till morning,
+
+12th.  And so rose, called up by my Lord Peterborough's gentleman about
+getting his Lord's money to-day of Mr. Povy, wherein I took such order,
+that it was paid, and I had my L50 brought me, which comforts my heart. We
+sat at the office all the morning, then at home.  Dined alone; sad for
+want of company and not being very well, and know not how to eat alone.
+After dinner down with Sir G. Carteret, Sir J. Minnes, and Sir W. Batten
+to view, and did like a place by Deptford yard to lay masts in.  By and by
+comes Mr. Coventry, and after a little stay he and I down to Blackwall, he
+having a mind to see the yarde, which we did, and fine storehouses there
+are and good docks, but of no great profit to him that oweth them for
+ought we see.
+
+     [For "owneth."  This sense is very common in Shakespeare.  In the
+     original edition of the authorized version of the Bible we read: "So
+     shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that oweth this girdle"
+     (Acts xxi.  I i) Nares's Glossary.]
+
+So home by water with him, having good discourse by the way, and so I to
+the office a while, and late home to supper and to bed.
+
+13th.  Up and to my office, at noon (after having at an alehouse hard by
+discoursed with one Mr. Tyler, a neighbour, and one Captain Sanders about
+the discovery of some pursers that have sold their provisions) I to my
+Lord Sandwich, thinking to have dined there, but they not dining at home,
+I with Captain Ferrers to Mr. Barwell the King's Squire Sadler, where
+about this time twelvemonths I dined before at a good venison pasty.  The
+like we had now, and very good company, Mr. Tresham and others.  Thence to
+White Hall to the Fishery, and there did little.  So by water home, and
+there met Lanyon, &c., about Tangier matters, and so late to my office,
+and thence home and to bed.  Mr. Moore was with me late to desire me to
+come to my Lord Sandwich tomorrow morning, which I shall, but I wonder
+what my business is.
+
+14th.  My mind being doubtful what the business should be, I rose a little
+after four o'clock, and abroad.  Walked to my Lord's, and nobody up, but
+the porter rose out of bed to me so I back again to Fleete Streete, and
+there bought a little book of law; and thence, hearing a psalm sung, I
+went into St. Dunstan's, and there heard prayers read, which, it seems, is
+done there every morning at six o'clock; a thing I never did do at a
+chappell, but the College Chappell, in all my life. Thence to my Lord's
+again, and my Lord being up, was sent for up, and he and I alone.  He did
+begin with a most solemn profession of the same confidence in and love for
+me that he ever had, and then told me what a misfortune was fallen upon me
+and him: in me, by a displeasure which my Lord Chancellor did show to him
+last night against me, in the highest and most passionate manner that ever
+any man did speak, even to the not hearing of any thing to be said to him:
+but he told me, that he did say all that could be said for a man as to my
+faithfullnesse and duty to his Lordship, and did me the greatest right
+imaginable.  And what should the business be, but that I should be forward
+to have the trees in Clarendon Park marked and cut down, which he, it
+seems, hath bought of my Lord Albemarle; when, God knows!  I am the most
+innocent man in the world in it, and did nothing of myself, nor knew of
+his concernment therein, but barely obeyed my Lord Treasurer's warrant for
+the doing thereof.  And said that I did most ungentlemanlike with him, and
+had justified the rogues in cutting down a tree of his; and that I had
+sent the veriest Fanatique [Deane] that is in England to mark them, on
+purpose to nose--[provoke]--him.  All which, I did assure my Lord, was
+most properly false, and nothing like it true; and told my Lord the whole
+passage.  My Lord do seem most nearly affected; he is partly, I believe,
+for me, and partly for himself.  So he advised me to wait presently upon
+my Lord, and clear myself in the most perfect manner I could, with all
+submission and assurance that I am his creature both in this and all other
+things; and that I do owne that all I have, is derived through my Lord
+Sandwich from his Lordship.  So, full of horror, I went, and found him
+busy in tryals of law in his great room; and it being Sitting-day, durst
+not stay, but went to my Lord and told him so: whereupon he directed me to
+take him after dinner; and so away I home, leaving my Lord mightily
+concerned for me.  I to the office, and there sat busy all the morning.
+At noon to the 'Change, and from the 'Change over with Alsopp and the
+others to the Pope's Head tavern, and there staid a quarter of an hour,
+and concluded upon this, that in case I got them no more than 3s. per week
+per man I should have of them but L150 per ann., but to have it without
+any adventure or charge, but if I got them 3s. 2d., then they would give
+me L300 in the like manner.  So I directed them to draw up their tender in
+a line or two against the afternoon, and to meet me at White Hall.  So I
+left them, and I to my Lord Chancellor's; and there coming out after
+dinner I accosted him, telling him that I was the unhappy Pepys that had
+fallen into his high displeasure, and come to desire him to give me leave
+to make myself better understood to his Lordship, assuring him of my duty
+and service.  He answered me very pleasingly, that he was confident upon
+the score of my Lord Sandwich's character of me, but that he had reason to
+think what he did, and desired me to call upon him some evening: I named
+to-night, and he accepted of it.  So with my heart light I to White Hall,
+and there after understanding by a stratagem, and yet appearing wholly
+desirous not to understand Mr. Gauden's price when he desired to show it
+me, I went down and ordered matters in our tender so well that at the
+meeting by and by I was ready with Mr. Gauden's and his, both directed him
+a letter to me to give the board their two tenders, but there being none
+but the Generall Monk and Mr. Coventry and Povy and I, I did not think fit
+to expose them to view now, but put it off till Saturday, and so with good
+content rose.  Thence I to the Half Moone, against the 'Change, to
+acquaint Lanyon and his friends of our proceedings, and thence to my Lord
+Chancellor's, and there heard several tryals, wherein I perceive my Lord
+is a most able and ready man.  After all done, he himself called, "Come,
+Mr. Pepys, you and I will take a turn in the garden."  So he was led down
+stairs, having the goute, and there walked with me, I think, above an
+houre, talking most friendly, yet cunningly.  I told him clearly how
+things were; how ignorant I was of his Lordship's concernment in it; how I
+did not do nor say one word singly, but what was done was the act of the
+whole Board.  He told me by name that he was more angry with Sir G.
+Carteret than with me, and also with the whole body of the Board.  But
+thinking who it was of the Board that knew him least, he did place his
+fear upon me; but he finds that he is indebted to none of his friends
+there.  I think I did thoroughly appease him, till he thanked me for my
+desire and pains to satisfy him; and upon my desiring to be directed who I
+should of his servants advise with about this business, he told me nobody,
+but would be glad to hear from me himself.  He told me he would not direct
+me in any thing, that it might not be said that the Lord Chancellor did
+labour to abuse the King; or (as I offered) direct the suspending the
+Report of the Purveyors but I see what he means, and I will make it my
+worke to do him service in it.  But, Lord! to see how he is incensed
+against poor Deane, as a fanatique rogue, and I know not what: and what he
+did was done in spite to his Lordship, among all his friends and tenants.
+He did plainly say that he would not direct me in any thing, for he would
+not put himself into the power of any man to say that he did so and so;
+but plainly told me as if he would be glad I did something.  Lord! to see
+how we poor wretches dare not do the King good service for fear of the
+greatness of these men.  He named Sir G. Carteret, and Sir J. Minnes, and
+the rest; and that he was as angry with them all as me.  But it was
+pleasant to think that, while he was talking to me, comes into the garden
+Sir G. Carteret; and my Lord avoided speaking with him, and made him and
+many others stay expecting him, while I walked up and down above an houre,
+I think; and would have me walk with my hat on.  And yet, after all this,
+there has been so little ground for this his jealousy of me, that I am
+sometimes afeard that he do this only in policy to bring me to his side by
+scaring me; or else, which is worse, to try how faithfull I would be to
+the King; but I rather think the former of the two.  I parted with great
+assurance how I acknowledged all I had to come from his Lordship; which he
+did not seem to refuse, but with great kindness and respect parted.  So I
+by coach home, calling at my Lord's, but he not within.  At my office
+late, and so home to eat something, being almost starved for want of
+eating my dinner to-day, and so to bed, my head being full of great and
+many businesses of import to me.
+
+15th.  Up, and to my Lord Sandwich's; where he sent for me up, and I did
+give my Lord an account of what had passed with my Lord Chancellor
+yesterday; with which he was well pleased, and advised me by all means to
+study in the best manner I could to serve him in this business.  After
+this discourse ended, he begun to tell me that he had now pitched upon his
+day of going to sea upon Monday next, and that he would now give me an
+account how matters are with him.  He told me that his work now in the
+world is only to keep up his interest at Court, having little hopes to get
+more considerably, he saying that he hath now about L8,000 per annum. It
+is true, he says, he oweth about L10,000; but he hath been at great
+charges in getting things to this pass in his estate; besides his building
+and good goods that he hath bought.  He says he hath now evened his
+reckonings at the Wardrobe till Michaelmas last, and hopes to finish it to
+Ladyday before he goes.  He says now there is due, too, L7,000 to him
+there, if he knew how to get it paid, besides L2000 that Mr. Montagu do
+owe him.  As to his interest, he says that he hath had all the injury done
+him that ever man could have by another bosom friend that knows all his
+secrets, by Mr. Montagu; but he says that the worst of it all is past, and
+he gone out and hated, his very person by the King, and he believes the
+more upon the score of his carriage to him; nay, that the Duke of Yorke
+did say a little while since in his closett, that he did hate him because
+of his ungratefull carriage to my Lord of Sandwich.  He says that he is as
+great with the Chancellor, or greater, than ever in his life.  That with
+the King he is the like; and told me an instance, that whereas he formerly
+was of the private council to the King before he was last sicke, and that
+by the sickness an interruption was made in his attendance upon him; the
+King did not constantly call him, as he used to do, to his private
+council, only in businesses of the sea and the like; but of late the King
+did send a message to him by Sir Harry Bennet, to excuse the King to my
+Lord that he had not of late sent for him as he used to do to his private
+council, for it was not out of any distaste, but to avoid giving offence
+to some others whom he did not name; but my Lord supposes it might be
+Prince Rupert, or it may be only that the King would rather pass it by an
+excuse, than be thought unkind: but that now he did desire him to attend
+him constantly, which of late he hath done, and the King never more kind
+to him in his life than now.  The Duke of Yorke, as much as is possible;
+and in the business of late, when I was to speak to my Lord about his
+going to sea, he says that he finds the Duke did it with the greatest
+ingenuity and love in the world; "and whereas," says my Lord, "here is a
+wise man hard by that thinks himself so, and would be thought so, and it
+may be is in a degree so (naming by and by my Lord Crew), would have had
+me condition with him that neither Prince Rupert nor any body should come
+over his head, and I know not what."  The Duke himself hath caused in his
+commission, that he be made Admirall of this and what other ships or
+fleets shall hereafter be put out after these; which is very noble.  He
+tells me in these cases, and that of Mr. Montagu's, and all others, he
+finds that bearing of them patiently is his best way, without noise or
+trouble, and things wear out of themselves and come fair again.  But, says
+he, take it from me, never to trust too much to any man in the world, for
+you put yourself into his power; and the best seeming friend and real
+friend as to the present may have or take occasion to fall out with you,
+and then out comes all.  Then he told me of Sir Harry Bennet, though they
+were always kind, yet now it is become to an acquaintance and familiarity
+above ordinary, that for these months he hath done no business but with my
+Lord's advice in his chamber, and promises all faithfull love to him and
+service upon all occasions.  My Lord says, that he hath the advantage of
+being able by his experience to helpe and advise him; and he believes that
+that chiefly do invite Sir Harry to this manner of treating him.  "Now,"
+says my Lord, "the only and the greatest embarras that I have in the world
+is, how to behave myself to Sir H. Bennet and my Lord Chancellor, in case
+that there do lie any thing under the embers about my Lord Bristoll, which
+nobody can tell; for then," says he, "I must appear for one or other, and
+I will lose all I have in the world rather than desert my Lord Chancellor:
+so that," says he, "I know not for my life what to do in that case."  For
+Sir H. Bennet's love is come to the height, and his confidence, that he
+hath given my Lord a character, and will oblige my Lord to correspond with
+him.  "This," says he, "is the whole condition of my estate and interest;
+which I tell you, because I know not whether I shall see you again or no."
+Then as to the voyage, he thinks it will be of charge to him, and no
+profit; but that he must not now look after nor think to encrease, but
+study to make good what he hath, that what is due to him from the Wardrobe
+or elsewhere may be paid, which otherwise would fail, and all a man hath
+be but small content to him.  So we seemed to take leave one of another;
+my Lord of me, desiring me that I would write to him and give him
+information upon all occasions in matters that concern him; which, put
+together with what he preambled with yesterday, makes me think that my
+Lord do truly esteem me still, and desires to preserve my service to him;
+which I do bless God for.  In the middle of our discourse my Lady Crew
+came in to bring my Lord word that he hath another son, my Lady being
+brought to bed just now, I did not think her time had been so nigh, but
+she's well brought to bed, for which God be praised!  and send my Lord to
+study the laying up of something the more!  Then with Creed to St.
+James's, and missing Mr. Coventry, to White Hall; where, staying for him
+in one of the galleries, there comes out of the chayre-room Mrs. Stewart,
+in a most lovely form, with her hair all about her eares, having her
+picture taking there.  There was the King and twenty more, I think,
+standing by all the while, and a lovely creature she in this dress seemed
+to be.  Thence to the 'Change by coach, and so home to dinner and then to
+my office.  In the evening Mr. Hill, Andrews and I to my chamber to sing,
+which we did very pleasantly, and then to my office again, where very late
+and so home, with my mind I bless God in good state of ease and body of
+health, only my head at this juncture very full of business, how to get
+something.  Among others what this rogue Creed will do before he goes to
+sea, for I would fain be rid of him and see what he means to do, for I
+will then declare myself his firm friend or enemy.
+
+16th.  Up in the morning, my head mightily confounded with the great deale
+of business I have upon me to do.  But to the office, and there dispatched
+Mr. Creed's business pretty well about his bill; but then there comes W.
+Howe for my Lord's bill of Imprest for L500 to carry with him this voyage,
+and so I was at a loss how to carry myself in it, Creed being there, but
+there being no help I delivered it to them both, and let them contend,
+when I perceive they did both endeavour to have it, but W. Howe took it,
+and the other had the discretion to suffer it.  But I think I cleared
+myself to Creed that it past not from any practice of mine.  At noon rose
+and did some necessary business at the 'Change.  Thence to Trinity House
+to a dinner which Sir G. Carteret makes there as Maister this year.
+Thence to White Hall to the Tangier Committee, and there, above my
+expectation, got the business of our contract for the victualling carried
+for my people, viz., Alsopp, Lanyon, and Yeabsly; and by their promise I
+do thereby get L300 per annum to myself, which do overjoy me; and the
+matter is left to me to draw up.  Mr. Lewes was in the gallery and is
+mightily amazed at it, and I believe Mr. Gauden will make some stir about
+it, for he wrote to Mr. Coventry to-day about it to argue why he should
+for the King's convenience have it, but Mr. Coventry most justly did argue
+freely for them that served cheapest.  Thence walked a while with Mr.
+Coventry in the gallery, and first find that he is mighty cold in his
+present opinion of Mr. Peter Pett for his flagging and doing things so
+lazily there, and he did also surprise me with a question why Deane did
+not bring in their report of the timber of Clarendon.  What he means
+thereby I know not, but at present put him off; nor do I know how to steer
+myself: but I must think of it, and advise with my Lord Sandwich.  Thence
+with Creed by coach to my Lord Sandwich's, and there I got Mr. Moore to
+give me my Lord's hand for my receipt of L109 more of my money of Sir G.
+Carteret, so that then his debt to me will be under L500, I think.  This
+do ease my mind also.  Thence carried him and W. Howe into London, and set
+them down at Sir G. Carteret's to receive some money, and I home and there
+busy very late, and so home to supper and to bed, with my mind in pretty
+good ease, my business being in a pretty good condition every where.
+
+17th (Lord's day).  All the morning at my office doing business there, it
+raining hard.  So dined at home alone.  After dinner walked to my Lord's,
+and there found him and much other guests at table at dinner, and it seems
+they have christened his young son to-day-called him James.  I got a piece
+of cake.  I got my Lord to signe and seale my business about my selling of
+Brampton land, which though not so full as I would, yet is as full as I
+can at present.  Walked home again, and there fell to read, and by and by
+comes my uncle Wight, Dr. Burnett, and another gentleman, and talked and
+drank, and the Doctor showed me the manner of eating, turpentine, which
+pleases me well, for it is with great ease.  So they being gone, I to
+supper and to bed.
+
+18th.  Up, and walked to my Lord's, and there took my leave of him, he
+seeming very friendly to me in as serious a manner as ever in his life,
+and I believe he is very confident of me.  He sets out this morning for
+Deale.  Thence to St. James's to the Duke, and there did our usual
+business.  He discourses very freely of a warr with Holland, to begin
+about winter, so that I believe we shall come to it.  Before we went up to
+the Duke, Sir G. Carteret and I did talk together in the Parke about my
+Lord Chancellor's business of the timber; he telling me freely that my
+Lord Chancellor was never so angry with him in all his life, as he was for
+this business, in great passion; and that when he saw me there, he knew
+what it was about.  And plots now with me how we may serve my Lord, which
+I am mightily glad of; and I hope together we may do it.  Thence to
+Westminster to my barber's, to have my Periwigg he lately made me cleansed
+of its nits, which vexed me cruelly that he should put such a thing into
+my hands.  Here meeting his mayd Jane, that has lived with them so long, I
+talked with her, and sending her of an errand to Dr. Clerk's, did meet
+her, and took her into a little alehouse in Brewers Yard, and there did
+sport with her, without any knowledge of her though, and a very pretty
+innocent girl she is.  Thence to my Lord Chancellor's, but he being busy I
+went away to the 'Change, and so home to dinner.  By and by comes Creed,
+and I out with him to Fleet Street, and he to Mr. Povy's, I to my Lord
+Chancellor's, and missing him again walked to Povy's, and there saw his
+new perspective in his closet.  Povy, to my great surprise and wonder, did
+here attacque me in his own and Mr. Bland's behalf that I should do for
+them both for the new contractors for the victualling of the garrison.
+Which I am ashamed that he should ask of me, nor did I believe that he was
+a man that did seek benefit in such poor things.  Besides that he
+professed that he did not believe that I would have any hand myself in the
+contract, and yet here declares that he himself would have profit by it,
+and himself did move me that Sir W. Rider might join, and Ford with
+Gauden.  I told him I had no interest in them, but I fear they must do
+something to him, for he told me that those of the Mole did promise to
+consider him.  Thence home and Creed with me, and there he took occasion
+to owne his obligations to me, and did lay down twenty pieces in gold upon
+my shelf in my closett, which I did not refuse, but wish and expected
+should have been more.  But, however, this is better than nothing, and now
+I am out of expectation, and shall henceforward know how to deal with him.
+After discourse of settling his matters here, we went out by coach, and he
+'light at the Temple, and there took final leave of me, in order to his
+following my Lord to-morrow.  I to my Lord Chancellor, and discoursed his
+business with him.  I perceive, and he says plainly, that he will not have
+any man to have it in his power to say that my Lord Chancellor did
+contrive the wronging the King of his timber; but yet I perceive, he would
+be glad to have service done him therein; and told me Sir G. Carteret hath
+told him that he and I would look after his business to see it done in the
+best manner for him.  Of this I was glad, and so away.  Thence home, and
+late with my Tangier men about drawing up their agreement with us, wherein
+I find much trouble, and after doing as much as we could to-night, broke
+up and I to bed.
+
+19th.  Up, and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  At noon dined
+alone at home.  After dinner Sir W. Batten and I down by water to
+Woolwich, where coming to the ropeyarde we are told that Mr. Falconer, who
+hath been ill of a relapse these two days, is just now dead.  We went up
+to his widow, who is sicke in bed also.  The poor woman in great sorrow,
+and entreats our friendship, which we shall, I think, in every thing do
+for her.  I am sure I will.  Thence to the Docke, and there in Sheldon's
+garden eat some fruit; so to Deptford a little, and thence home, it
+raining mightily, and being cold I doubted my health after it. At the
+office till 9 o'clock about Sir W. Warren's contract for masts, and then
+at home with Lanyon and Yeabsly till 12 and past about their contract for
+Tangier, wherein they and I differed, for I would have it drawn to the
+King's advantage, as much as might be, which they did not like, but parted
+good friends; however, when they were gone, I wished that I had forborne
+any disagreement till I had had their promise to me in writing.  They
+being gone, I to bed.
+
+20th.  Up, and a while to my office, and then home with Mr. Deane till
+dinner, discoursing upon the business of my Lord Chancellor's timber in
+Clarendon Parke, and how to make a report therein without offending him;
+which at last I drew up, and hope it will please him.  But I would to God
+neither I nor he ever had had any thing to have done with it!  Dined
+together with a good pig, and then out by coach to White Hall, to the
+Committee for Fishing; but nothing done, it being a great day to-day there
+upon drawing at the Lottery of Sir Arthur Slingsby.  I got in and stood by
+the two Queenes and the Duchesse of Yorke, and just behind my Lady
+Castlemayne, whom I do heartily adore; and good sport it was to see how
+most that did give their ten pounds did go away with a pair of globes only
+for their lot, and one gentlewoman, one Mrs. Fish, with the only blanke.
+And one I staid to see drew a suit of hangings valued at L430, and they
+say are well worth the money, or near it.  One other suit there is better
+than that; but very many lots of three and fourscore pounds.  I observed
+the King and Queenes did get but as poor lots as any else.  But the wisest
+man I met with was Mr. Cholmley, who insured as many as would, from
+drawing of the one blank for 12d.; in which case there was the whole
+number of persons to one, which I think was three or four hundred.  And so
+he insured about 200 for 200 shillings, so that he could not have lost if
+one of them had drawn it, for there was enough to pay the L10; but it
+happened another drew it, and so he got all the money he took.  I left the
+lottery, and went to a play, only a piece of it, which was the Duke's
+house, "Worse and Worse;" just the same manner of play, and writ, I
+believe, by the same man as "The Adventures of Five Hours;" very pleasant
+it was, and I begin to admire Harris more than ever.  Thence to
+Westminster to see Creed, and he and I took a walk in the Parke.  He is
+ill, and not able yet to set out after my Lord, but will do to-morrow. So
+home, and late at my office, and so home to bed.  This evening being
+moonshine I played a little late upon my flageolette in the garden.  But
+being at Westminster Hall I met with great news that Mrs. Lane is married
+to one Martin, one that serves Captain Marsh.  She is gone abroad with him
+to-day, very fine.  I must have a bout with her very shortly to see how
+she finds marriage.
+
+21st.  Up, and to the office, where we sat all the morning, among other
+things making a contract with Sir W. Warren for almost 1000 Gottenburg
+masts, the biggest that ever was made in the Navy, and wholly of my
+compassing and a good one I hope it is for the King.  Dined at Sir W.
+Batten's, where I have not eat these many months.  Sir G. Carteret, Mr.
+Coventry, Sir J. Minnes, and myself there only, and my Lady.  A good
+venison pasty, and very merry, and pleasant I made myself with my Lady,
+and she as much to me.  This morning to the office comes Nicholas Osborne,
+Mr. Gauden's clerke, to desire of me what piece of plate I would choose to
+have a L100, or thereabouts, bestowed upon me in, he having order to lay
+out so much; and, out of his freedom with me, do of himself come to make
+this question.  I a great while urged my unwillingnesse to take any, not
+knowing how I could serve Mr. Gauden, but left it wholly to himself; so at
+noon I find brought home in fine leather cases, a pair of the noblest
+flaggons that ever I saw all the days of my life; whether I shall keepe
+them or no I cannot tell; for it is to oblige me to him in the business of
+the Tangier victualling, wherein I doubt I shall not; but glad I am to see
+that I shall be sure to get something on one side or other, have it which
+will: so, with a merry heart, I looked upon them, and locked them up.
+After dinner to [give] my Lord Chancellor a good account of his business,
+and he is very well pleased therewith, and carries himself with great
+discretion to me, without seeming over glad or beholding to me; and yet I
+know that he do think himself very well served by me.  Thence to
+Westminster and to Mrs. Lane's lodgings, to give her joy, and there
+suffered me to deal with her as I hoped to do, and by and by her husband
+comes, a sorry, simple fellow, and his letter to her which she proudly
+showed me a simple, nonsensical thing.  A man of no discourse, and I fear
+married her to make a prize of, which he is mistaken in, and a sad wife I
+believe she will prove to him, for she urged me to appoint a time as soon
+as he is gone out of town to give her a meeting next week.  So by water
+with a couple of cozens of Mrs. Lane's, and set them down at Queenhive,
+and I through Bridge home, and there late at business, and so home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up and to my office, where busy all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change, and so home to dinner, and then down by water to Deptford, where
+coming too soon, I spent an houre in looking round the yarde, and putting
+Mr. Shish
+
+     [Jonas Shish, master-shipwright at Deptford.  There are several
+     papers of his among the State Papers.  "I was at the funeral of old
+     Mr. Shish, Master Shipwright of His Majesty's Yard here, an honest
+     and remarkable man, and his death a public loss, for his excellent
+     success in building ships (though altogether illiterate) and for
+     bringing up so many of his children to be able artists.  I held up
+     the pall with three knights who did him that honour, and he was
+     worthy of it.  It was the custom of this good man to rise in the
+     night and pray, kneeling in his own coffin, which he had lying by
+     him for many years.  He was born that famous year, the Gunpowder-
+     plot, 1605" (Evelyn's "Diary," May 13th, 1680).]
+
+to measure a piece or two of timber, which he did most cruelly wrong, and
+to the King's losse 12 or 13s. in a piece of 28 feet in contents.  Thence
+to the Clerke of the Cheques, from whose house Mr. Falconer was buried
+to-day; Sir J. Minnes and I the only principal officers that were there.
+We walked to church with him, and then I left them without staying the
+sermon and straight home by water, and there find, as I expected, Mr.
+Hill, and Andrews, and one slovenly and ugly fellow, Seignor Pedro, who
+sings Italian songs to the theorbo most neatly, and they spent the whole
+evening in singing the best piece of musique counted of all hands in the
+world, made by Seignor Charissimi, the famous master in Rome.  Fine it
+was, indeed, and too fine for me to judge of. They have spoke to Pedro to
+meet us every weeke, and I fear it will grow a trouble to me if we once
+come to bid judges to meet us, especially idle Masters, which do a little
+displease me to consider. They gone comes Mr. Lanyon, who tells me Mr.
+Alsopp is now become dangerously ill, and fears his recovery, covery,
+which shakes my expectation of L630 per annum by the business; and,
+therefore, bless God for what Mr. Gauden hath sent me, which, from some
+discourse to-day with Mr. Osborne, swearing that he knows not any thing of
+this business of the victualling; but, the contrary, that it is not that
+moves Mr. Gauden to send it me, for he hath had order for it any time
+these two months. Whether this be true or no, I know not; but I shall
+hence with the more confidence keepe it.  To supper and to the office a
+little, and to walk in the garden, the moon shining bright, and fine warm
+fair weather, and so home to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up, and all the morning at the office.  At noon to the 'Change,
+where I took occasion to break the business of my Lord Chancellor's timber
+to Mr. Coventry in the best manner I could.  He professed to me, that,
+till, Sir G. Carteret did speake of it at the table, after our officers
+were gone to survey it, he did not know that my Lord Chancellor had any
+thing to do with it; but now he says that he had been told by the Duke
+that Sir G. Carteret had spoke to him about it, and that he had told the
+Duke that, were he in my Lord Chancellor's case, if he were his father, he
+would rather fling away the gains of two or L3,000, than have it said that
+the timber, which should have been the King's, if it had continued the
+Duke of Albemarle's, was concealed by us in favour of my Lord Chancellor;
+for, says he, he is a great man, and all such as he, and he himself
+particularly, have a great many enemies that would be glad of such an
+advantage against him.  When I told him it was strange that Sir J. Minnes
+and Sir G. Carteret, that knew my Lord Chancellor's concernment therein,
+should not at first inform us, he answered me that for Sir J. Minnes, he
+is looked upon to be an old good companion, but by nobody at the other end
+of the towne as any man of business, and that my Lord Chancellor, he dares
+say, never did tell him of it, only Sir G. Carteret, he do believe, must
+needs know it, for he and Sir J. Shaw are the greatest confidants he hath
+in the world.  So for himself, he said, he would not mince the matter, but
+was resolved to do what was fit, and stand upon his owne legs therein, and
+that he would speak to the Duke, that he and Sir G. Carteret might be
+appointed to attend my Lord Chancellor in it.  All this disturbs me
+mightily.  I know not what to say to it, nor how to carry myself therein;
+for a compliance will discommend me to Mr. Coventry, and a discompliance
+to my Lord Chancellor.  But I think to let it alone, or at least meddle in
+it as little more as I can. From thence walked toward Westminster, and
+being in an idle and wanton humour, walked through Fleet Alley, and there
+stood a most pretty wench at one of the doors, so I took a turn or two,
+but what by sense of honour and conscience I would not go in, but much
+against my will took coach and away, and away to Westminster Hall, and
+there 'light of Mrs. Lane, and plotted with her to go over the water.  So
+met at White's stairs in Chanel Row, and over to the old house at Lambeth
+Marsh, and there eat and drank, and had my pleasure of her twice, she
+being the strangest woman in talk of love to her husband sometimes, and
+sometimes again she do not care for him, and yet willing enough to allow
+me a liberty of doing what I would with her.  So spending 5s. or 6s.  upon
+her, I could do what I would, and after an hour's stay and more back again
+and set her ashore there again, and I forward to Fleet Street, and called
+at Fleet Alley, not knowing how to command myself, and went in and there
+saw what formerly I have been acquainted with, the wickedness of these
+houses, and the forcing a man to present expense.  The woman indeed is a
+most lovely woman, but I had no courage to meddle with her for fear of her
+not being wholesome, and so counterfeiting that I had not money enough, it
+was pretty to see how cunning she was, would not suffer me to have to do
+in any manner with her after she saw I had no money, but told me then I
+would not come again, but she now was sure I would come again, but I hope
+in God I shall not, for though she be one of the prettiest women I ever
+saw, yet I fear her abusing me.  So desiring God to forgive me for this
+vanity, I went home, taking some books from my bookseller, and taking his
+lad home with me, to whom I paid L10 for books I have laid up money for,
+and laid out within these three weeks, and shall do no more a great while
+I hope.  So to my office writing letters, and then home and to bed, weary
+of the pleasure I have had to-day, and ashamed to think of it.
+
+24th (Lord's day).  Up, in some pain all day from yesterday's passages,
+having taken cold, I suppose.  So staid within all day reading of two or
+three good plays.  At night to my office a little, and so home, after
+supper to bed.
+
+25th.  Up, and with Sir J. Minnes and Sir W. Batten by coach to St.
+James's, but there the Duke being gone out we to my Lord Berkeley's
+chamber, Mr. Coventry being there, and among other things there met with a
+printed copy of the King's commission for the repair of Paul's, which is
+very large, and large power for collecting money, and recovering of all
+people that had bought or sold formerly any thing belonging to the Church.
+And here I find my Lord Mayor of the City set in order before the
+Archbishopp or any nobleman, though all the greatest officers of state are
+there.  But yet I do not hear by my Lord Berkeley, who is one of them,
+that any thing is like to come of it.  Thence back again homewards, and
+Sir W. Batten and I to the Coffee-house, but no newes, only the plague is
+very hot still, and encreases among the Dutch.  Home to dinner, and after
+dinner walked forth, and do what I could I could not keep myself from
+going through Fleet Lane, but had the sense of safety and honour not to go
+in, and the rather being a holiday I feared I might meet with some people
+that might know me.  Thence to Charing Cross, and there called at
+Unthanke's to see what I owed, but found nothing, and here being a couple
+of pretty ladies, lodgers in the kitchen, I staid a little there.  Thence
+to my barber Gervas, who this day buries his child, which it seems was
+born without a passage behind, so that it never voided any thing in the
+week or fortnight that it has been born.  Thence to Mr. Reeves, it coming
+just now in my head to buy a microscope, but he was not within, so I
+walked all round that end of the town among the loathsome people and
+houses, but, God be thanked!  had no desire to visit any of them.  So
+home, where I met Mr. Lanyon, who tells me Mr. Alsop is past hopes, which
+will mightily disappoint me in my hopes there, and yet it may be not.  I
+shall think whether it will be safe for me to venture myself or no, and
+come in as an adventurer.  He gone, Mr. Cole (my old Jack Cole) comes to
+see and speak with me, and his errand in short to tell me that he is
+giving over his trade; he can do no good in it, and will turn what he has
+into money and go to sea, his father being dead and leaving him little, if
+any thing.  This I was sorry to hear, he being a man of good parts, but, I
+fear, debauched.  I promised him all the friendship I can do him, which
+will end in little, though I truly mean it, and so I made him stay with me
+till 11 at night, talking of old school stories, and very pleasing ones,
+and truly I find that we did spend our time and thoughts then otherwise
+than I think boys do now, and I think as well as methinks that the best
+are now.  He supped with me, and so away, and I to bed.  And strange to
+see how we are all divided that were bred so long at school together, and
+what various fortunes we have run, some good, some bad.
+
+26th.  All the morning at the office, at noon to Anthony Joyce's, to our
+gossip's dinner.  I had sent a dozen and a half of bottles of wine
+thither, and paid my double share besides, which is 18s.  Very merry we
+were, and when the women were merry and rose from table, I above with
+them, ne'er a man but I, I began discourse of my not getting of children,
+and prayed them to give me their opinions and advice, and they freely and
+merrily did give me these ten, among them (1) Do not hug my wife too hard
+nor too much; (2) eat no late suppers; (3) drink juyce of sage; (4) tent
+and toast; (5) wear cool holland drawers; (6) keep stomach warm and back
+cool; (7) upon query whether it was best to do at night or morn, they
+answered me neither one nor other, but when we had most mind to it; (8)
+wife not to go too straight laced; (9) myself to drink mum and sugar; (10)
+Mrs. Ward did give me, to change my place.  The 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and
+10th they all did seriously declare, and lay much stress upon them as
+rules fit to be observed indeed, and especially the last, to lie with our
+heads where our heels do, or at least to make the bed high at feet and low
+at head.  Very merry all, as much as I could be in such sorry company.
+Great discourse of the fray yesterday in Moorefields, how the butchers at
+first did beat the weavers (between whom there hath been ever an old
+competition for mastery), but at last the weavers rallied and beat them.
+At first the butchers knocked down all for weavers that had green or blue
+aprons, till they were fain to pull them off and put them in their
+breeches.  At last the butchers were fain to pull off their sleeves, that
+they might not be known, and were soundly beaten out of the field, and
+some deeply wounded and bruised; till at last the weavers went out
+tryumphing, calling L100 for a butcher.  I to Mr. Reeves to see a
+microscope, he having been with me to-day morning, and there chose one
+which I will have.  Thence back and took up young Mrs. Harman, a pretty
+bred and pretty humoured woman whom I could love well, though not
+handsome, yet for her person and carriage, and black.  By the way met her
+husband going for her, and set them both down at home, and so home to my
+office a while, and so to supper and bed.
+
+27th.  Up, and after some discourse with Mr. Duke, who is to be Secretary
+to the Fishery, and is now Secretary to the Committee for Trade, who I
+find a very ingenious man, I went to Mr. Povy's, and there heard a little
+of his empty discourse, and fain he would have Mr. Gauden been the
+victualler for Tangier, which none but a fool would say to me when he
+knows he hath made it his request to me to get him something of these men
+that now do it.  Thence to St. James's, but Mr. Coventry being ill and in
+bed I did not stay, but to White Hall a little, walked up and down, and so
+home to fit papers against this afternoon, and after dinner to the 'Change
+a little, and then to White Hall, where anon the Duke of Yorke came, and a
+Committee we had of Tangier, where I read over my rough draught of the
+contract for Tangier victualling, and acquainted them with the death of
+Mr. Alsopp, which Mr. Lanyon had told me this morning, which is a sad
+consideration to see how uncertain a thing our lives are, and how little
+to be presumed of in our greatest undertakings.  The words of the contract
+approved of, and I home and there came Mr. Lanyon to me and brought my
+neighbour, Mr. Andrews, to me, whom he proposes for his partner in the
+room of Mr. Alsopp, and I like well enough of it.  We read over the
+contract together, and discoursed it well over and so parted, and I am
+glad to see it once over in this condition again, for Mr. Lanyon and I had
+some discourse to-day about my share in it, and I hope if it goes on to
+have my first hopes of L300 per ann.  They gone, I to supper and to bed.
+This afternoon came my great store of Coles in, being to Chaldron, so that
+I may see how long they will last me.
+
+28th.  At the office all the morning, dined, after 'Change, at home, and
+then abroad, and seeing "The Bondman"  upon the posts, I consulted my
+oaths and find I may go safely this time without breaking it; I went
+thither, notwithstanding my great desire to have gone to Fleet Alley, God
+forgive me, again.  There I saw it acted.  It is true, for want of
+practice, they had many of them forgot their parts a little; but Betterton
+and my poor Ianthe outdo all the world.  There is nothing more taking in
+the world with me than that play.  Thence to Westminster to my barber's,
+and strange to think how when I find that Jervas himself did intend to
+bring home my periwigg, and not Jane his maid, I did desire not to have it
+at all, for I had a mind to have her bring it home.  I also went to Mr.
+Blagrave's about speaking to him for his kinswoman to come live with my
+wife, but they are not come to town, and so I home by coach and to my
+office, and then to supper and to bed.  My present posture is thus: my
+wife in the country and my mayde Besse with her and all quiett there.  I
+am endeavouring to find a woman for her to my mind, and above all one that
+understands musique, especially singing.  I am the willinger to keepe one
+because I am in good hopes to get 2 or L300 per annum extraordinary by the
+business of the victualling of Tangier, and yet Mr. Alsopp, my chief
+hopes, is dead since my looking after it, and now Mr. Lanyon, I fear, is,
+falling sicke too.  I am pretty well in health, only subject to wind upon
+any cold, and then immediate and great pains.  All our discourse is of a
+Dutch warr and I find it is likely to come to it, for they are very high
+and desire not to compliment us at all, as far as I hear, but to send a
+good fleete to Guinny to oppose us there.  My Lord Sandwich newly gone to
+sea, and I, I think, fallen into his very good opinion again, at least he
+did before his going, and by his letter since, show me all manner of
+respect and confidence.  I am over-joyed in hopes that upon this month's
+account I shall find myself worth L1000, besides the rich present of two
+silver and gilt flaggons which Mr. Gauden did give me the other day.  I do
+now live very prettily at home, being most seriously, quietly, and neatly
+served by my two mayds Jane and the girle Su, with both of whom I am
+mightily well pleased.  My greatest trouble is the settling of Brampton
+Estate, that I may know what to expect, and how to be able to leave it
+when I die, so as to be just to my promise to my uncle Thomas and his son.
+The next thing is this cursed trouble my brother Tom is likely to put us
+to by his death, forcing us to law with his creditors, among others Dr.
+Tom Pepys, and that with some shame as trouble, and the last how to know
+in what manner as to saving or spending my father lives, lest they should
+run me in debt as one of my uncle's executors, and I never the wiser nor
+better for it.  But in all this I hope shortly to be at leisure to
+consider and inform myself well.
+
+29th.  At the office all the morning dispatching of business, at noon to
+the 'Change after dinner, and thence to Tom Trice about Dr. Pepys's
+business, and thence it raining turned into Fleet Alley, and there was
+with Cocke an hour or so.  The jade, whether I would not give her money or
+not enough; she would not offer to invite to do anything, but on the
+contrary saying she had no time, which I was glad of, for I had no mind to
+meddle with her, but had my end to see what a cunning jade she was, to see
+her impudent tricks and ways of getting money and raising the reckoning by
+still calling for things, that it come to 6 or 7 shillings presently.  So
+away home, glad I escaped without any inconvenience, and there came Mr.
+Hill, Andrews and Seignor Pedro, and great store of musique we had, but I
+begin to be weary of having a master with us, for it spoils, methinks, the
+ingenuity of our practice.  After they were gone comes Mr. Bland to me,
+sat till 11 at night with me, talking of the garrison of Tangier and
+serving them with pieces of eight.  A mind he hath to be employed there,
+but dares not desire any courtesy of me, and yet would fain engage me to
+be for him, for I perceive they do all find that I am the busy man to see
+the King have right done him by inquiring out other bidders.  Being quite
+tired with him, I got him gone, and so to bed.
+
+30th.  All the morning at the office; at noon to the 'Change, where great
+talke of a rich present brought by an East India ship from some of the
+Princes of India, worth to the King L70,000 in two precious stones. After
+dinner to the office, and there all the afternoon making an end of several
+things against the end of the month, that I may clear all my reckonings
+tomorrow; also this afternoon, with great content, I finished the
+contracts for victualling of Tangier with Mr. Lanyon and the rest, and to
+my comfort got him and Andrews to sign to the giving me L300 per annum, by
+which, at least, I hope to be a L100 or two the better.  Wrote many
+letters by the post to ease my mind of business and to clear my paper of
+minutes, as I did lately oblige myself to clear every thing against the
+end of the month.  So at night with my mind quiet and contented to bed.
+This day I sent a side of venison and six bottles of wine to Kate Joyce.
+
+31st (Lord's day).  Up, and to church, where I have not been these many
+weeks.  So home, and thither, inviting him yesterday, comes Mr. Hill, at
+which I was a little troubled, but made up all very well, carrying him
+with me to Sir J. Minnes, where I was invited and all our families to a
+venison pasty.  Here good cheer and good discourse.  After dinner Mr. Hill
+and I to my house, and there to musique all the afternoon.  He being gone,
+in the evening I to my accounts, and to my great joy and with great thanks
+to Almighty God, I do find myself most clearly worth L1014, the first time
+that ever I was worth L1000 before, which is the height of all that ever I
+have for a long time pretended to.  But by the blessing of God upon my
+care I hope to lay up something more in a little time, if this business of
+the victualling of Tangier goes on as I hope it will. So with praise to
+God for this state of fortune that I am brought to as to wealth, and my
+condition being as I have at large set it down two days ago in this book,
+I home to supper and to bed, desiring God to give me the grace to make
+good use of what I have and continue my care and diligence to gain more.

+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.

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

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

+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

+
+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.

+                                 1664
+
+
+June 1st.  Up, having lain long, going to bed very late after the ending
+of my accounts.  Being up Mr. Hollyard came to me, and to my great
+sorrow, after his great assuring me that I could not possibly have the
+stone again, he tells me that he do verily fear that I have it again, and
+has brought me something to dissolve it, which do make me very much
+troubled, and pray to God to ease me.  He gone, I down by water to
+Woolwich and Deptford to look after the dispatch of the ships, all the
+way reading Mr. Spencer's Book of Prodigys, which is most ingeniously
+writ, both for matter and style.  Home at noon, and my little girl got me
+my dinner, and I presently out by water and landed at Somerset stairs,
+and thence through Covent Garden, where I met with Mr. Southwell (Sir W.
+Pen's friend), who tells me the very sad newes of my Lord Tiviott's and
+nineteen more commission officers being killed at Tangier by the Moores,
+by an ambush of the enemy upon them, while they were surveying their
+lines; which is very sad, and, he says, afflicts the King much.  Thence
+to W. Joyce's, where by appointment I met my wife (but neither of them at
+home), and she and I to the King's house, and saw "The Silent Woman;" but
+methought not so well done or so good a play as I formerly thought it to
+be, or else I am nowadays out of humour.  Before the play was done, it
+fell such a storm of hayle, that we in the middle of the pit were fain to
+rise;
+
+     [The stage was covered in by a tiled roof, but the pit was open to
+     the sky.  "The pit lay open to the weather for sake of light, but
+     was subsequently covered in with a glazed cupola, which, however,
+     only imperfectly protected the audience, so that in stormy weather
+     the house was thrown into disorder, and the people in the pit were
+     fain to rise" (Cunningham's "Story of Nell Gwyn," ed. 1893, p. 33).]
+
+and all the house in a disorder, and so my wife and I out and got into a
+little alehouse, and staid there an hour after the play was done before
+we could get a coach, which at last we did (and by chance took up Joyce
+Norton and Mrs. Bowles.  and set them at home), and so home ourselves,
+and I, after a little to my office, so home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+2nd.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and then to the
+'Change, where after some stay by coach with Sir J. Minnes and Mr.
+Coventry to St. James's, and there dined with Mr. Coventry very finely,
+and so over the Parke to White Hall to a Committee of Tangier about
+providing provisions, money, and men for Tangier.  At it all the
+afternoon, but it is strange to see how poorly and brokenly things are
+done of the greatest consequence, and how soon the memory of this great
+man is gone, or, at least, out of mind by the thoughts of who goes next,
+which is not yet knowne.  My Lord of Oxford, Muskerry, and several others
+are discoursed of.  It seems my Lord Tiviott's design was to go a mile
+and half out of the towne, to cut down a wood in which the enemy did use
+to lie in ambush.  He had sent several spyes; but all brought word that
+the way was clear, and so might be for any body's discovery of an enemy
+before you are upon them.  There they were all snapt, he and all his
+officers, and about 200 men, as they say; there being left now in the
+garrison but four captains.  This happened the 3d of May last, being not
+before that day twelvemonth of his entering into his government there:
+but at his going out in the morning he said to some of his officers,
+"Gentlemen, let us look to ourselves, for it was this day three years
+that so many brave Englishmen were knocked on the head by the Moores,
+when Fines made his sally out."  Here till almost night, and then home
+with Sir J. Minnes by coach, and so to my office a while, and home to
+supper and bed, being now in constant pain in my back, but whether it be
+only wind or what it is the Lord knows, but I fear the worst.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Up, still in a constant pain in my back, which much afflicts me
+with fear of the consequence of it.  All the morning at the office, we
+sat at the office extraordinary upon the business of our stores, but,
+Lord!  what a pitiful account the Surveyor makes of it grieves my heart.
+This morning before I came out I made a bargain with Captain Taylor for a
+ship for the Commissioners for Tangier, wherein I hope to get L40 or L50.
+To the 'Change, and thence home and dined, and then by coach to White
+Hall, sending my wife to Mrs. Hunt's.  At the Committee for Tangier all
+the afternoon, where a sad consideration to see things of so great weight
+managed in so confused a manner as it is, so as I would not have the
+buying of an acre of land bought by the Duke of York and Mr. Coventry,
+for ought I see, being the only two that do anything like men; Prince
+Rupert do nothing but swear and laugh a little, with an oathe or two, and
+that's all he do.  Thence called my wife and home, and I late at my
+office, and so home to supper and to bed, pleased at my hopes of gains by
+to-day's work, but very sad to think of the state of my health.
+
+
+
+4th.  Up and to St. James's by coach, after a good deal of talk before I
+went forth with J. Noble, who tells me that he will secure us against
+Cave, that though he knows, and can prove it, yet nobody else can prove
+it, to be Tom's child; that the bond was made by one Hudson, a scrivener,
+next to the Fountaine taverne, in the Old Bayly; that the children were
+born, and christened, and entered in the parish-book of St. Sepulchre's,
+by the name of Anne and Elizabeth Taylor and he will give us security
+against Cave if we pay him the money.  And then up to the Duke, and was
+with him giving him an account how matters go, and of the necessity there
+is of a power to presse seamen, without which we cannot really raise men
+for this fleete of twelve sayle, besides that it will assert the King's
+power of pressing, which at present is somewhat doubted, and will make
+the Dutch believe that we are in earnest.  Thence by water to the office,
+where we sat till almost two o'clock.  This morning Captain Ferrer came
+to the office to tell me that my Lord hath given him a promise of Young's
+place in the Wardrobe, and hearing that I pretend a promise to it he
+comes to ask my consent, which I denied him, and told him my Lord may do
+what he pleases with his promise to me, but my father's condition is not
+so as that I should let it go if my Lord will stand to his word, and so I
+sent him going, myself being troubled a little at it.  After office I
+with Mr. Coventry by water to St. James's and dined with him, and had
+excellent discourse from him.  So to the Committee for Tangier all
+afternoon, where still the same confused doings, and my Lord Fitz-Harding
+now added to the Committee; which will signify much.  It grieves me to
+see how brokenly things are ordered.  So by coach home, and at my office
+late, and so to supper and to bed, my body by plenty of breaking of wind
+being just now pretty well again, having had a constant akeing in my back
+these 5 or 6 days.  Mr. Coventry discoursing this noon about Sir W.
+Batten (what a sad fellow he is!) told me how the King told him the other
+day how Sir W. Batten, being in the ship with him and Prince Rupert when
+they expected to fight with Warwick, did walk up and down sweating with a
+napkin under his throat to dry up his sweat; and that Prince Rupert being
+a most jealous man, and particularly of Batten, do walk up and down
+swearing bloodily to the King, that Batten had a mind to betray them
+to-day, and that the napkin was a signal; "but, by God," says he, "if
+things go ill, the first thing I will do is to shoot him."  He discoursed
+largely and bravely to me concerning the different sort of valours, the
+active and passive valour.  For the latter, he brought as an instance
+General Blake; who, in the defending of Taunton and Lime for the
+Parliament, did through his stubborn sort of valour defend it the most
+'opiniastrement' that ever any man did any thing; and yet never was the
+man that ever made any attaque by land or sea, but rather avoyded it on
+all, even fair occasions.  On the other side, Prince Rupert, the boldest
+attaquer in the world for personal courage; and yet, in the defending of
+Bristol, no man ever did anything worse, he wanting the patience and
+seasoned head to consult and advise for defence, and to bear with the
+evils of a siege.  The like he says is said of my Lord Tiviott, who was
+the boldest adventurer of his person in the world, and from a mean man in
+few years was come to this greatness of command and repute only by the
+death of all his officers, he many times having the luck of being the
+only survivor of them all, by venturing upon services for the King of
+France that nobody else would; and yet no man upon a defence, he being
+all fury and no judgment in a fight.  He tells me above all of the Duke
+of Yorke, that he is more himself and more of judgement is at hand in him
+in the middle of a desperate service, than at other times, as appeared in
+the business of Dunkirke, wherein no man ever did braver things, or was
+in hotter service in the close of that day, being surrounded with
+enemies; and then, contrary to the advice of all about him, his counsel
+carried himself and the rest through them safe, by advising that he might
+make his passage with but a dozen with him; "For," says he, "the enemy
+cannot move after me so fast with a great body, and with a small one we
+shall be enough to deal with them;" and though he is a man naturally
+martiall to the highest degree, yet a man that never in his life talks
+one word of himself or service of his owne, but only that he saw such or
+such a thing, and lays it down for a maxime that a Hector can have no
+courage.  He told me also, as a great instance of some men, that the
+Prince of Condo's excellence is, that there not being a more furious man
+in the world, danger in fight never disturbs him more than just to make
+him civill, and to command in words of great obligation to his officers
+and men; but without any the least disturbance in his judgment or spirit.
+
+
+
+5th (Lord's day).  About one in the morning I was knocked up by my mayds
+to come to my wife who is very ill.  I rose, and from some cold she got
+to-day, or from something else, she is taken with great gripings, a
+looseness, and vomiting.  I lay a while by her upon the bed, she being in
+great pain, poor wretch, but that being a little over I to bed again, and
+lay, and then up and to my office all the morning, setting matters to
+rights in some accounts and papers, and then to dinner, whither Mr.
+Shepley, late come to town, came to me, and after dinner and some
+pleasant discourse he went his way, being to go out of town to Huntington
+again to-morrow.  So all the afternoon with my wife discoursing and
+talking, and in the evening to my office doing business, and then home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+6th.  Up and found my wife very ill again, which troubles me, but I was
+forced to go forth.  So by water with Mr. Gauden and others to see a ship
+hired by me for the Commissioners of Tangier, and to give order therein.
+So back to the office, and by coach with Mr. Gauden to White Hall, and
+there to my Lord Sandwich, and here I met Mr. Townsend very opportunely
+and Captain Ferrer, and after some discourse we did accommodate the
+business of the Wardrobe place, that he shall have the reversion if he
+will take it out by giving a covenant that if Mr. Young' dyes before my
+father my father shall have the benefit of it for his life.  So home, and
+thence by water to Deptford, and there found our Trinity Brethren come
+from their election to church, where Dr. Britton made, methought, an
+indifferent sermon touching the decency that we ought to observe in God's
+house, the church, but yet to see how ridiculously some men will carry
+themselves.  Sir W. Batten did at open table anon in the name of the
+whole Society desire him to print his sermon, as if the Doctor could
+think that they were fit judges of a good sermon.  Then by barge with Sir
+W. Batten to Trinity House.  It seems they have with much ado carried it
+for Sir G. Carteret against Captain Harrison, poor man, who by succession
+ought to have been it, and most hands were for him, but only they were
+forced to fright the younger Brethren by requiring them to set their
+hands (which is an ill course) and then Sir G. Carteret carryed it.  Here
+was at dinner my Lord Sandwich, Mr. Coventry, my Lord Craven, and others.
+A great dinner, and good company.  Mr. Prin also, who would not drink any
+health, no, not the King's, but sat down with his hat on all the while;
+
+     [William Prynne had published in 1628 a small book against the
+     drinking of healths, entitled, "Healthes, Sicknesse; or a
+     compendious and briefe Discourse, prouing, the Drinking and Pledging
+     of Healthes to be sinfull and utterly unlawfull unto Christians .  .
+     .  .  wherein all those ordinary objections, excuses or pretences,
+     which are made to justifie, extenuate, or excuse the drinking or
+     pledging of Healthes are likewise cleared and answered."  The
+     pamphlet was dedicated to Charles I. as "more interessed in the
+     theame and subject of this compendious discourse then any other that
+     I know," and "because your Majestie of all other persons within your
+     owne dominions, are most dishonoured, prejudiced, and abused by
+     these Healthes."]
+
+but nobody took notice of it to him at all; but in discourse with the
+Doctor he did declare himself that he ever was, and has expressed himself
+in all his books for mixt communion against the Presbyterian examination.
+Thence after dinner by water, my Lord Sandwich and all us Tangier men,
+where at the Committee busy till night with great confusion, and then by
+coach home, with this content, however, that I find myself every day
+become more and more known, and shall one day hope to have benefit by it.
+I found my wife a little better.  A little to my office, then home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+7th.  Up and to the office (having by my going by water without any thing
+upon my legs yesterday got some pain upon me again), where all the
+morning.  At noon a little to the 'Change, and thence home to dinner, my
+wife being ill still in bed.  Thence to the office, where busy all the
+afternoon till 9 at night, and so home to my wife, to supper, and to bed.
+
+
+
+8th.  All day before dinner with Creed, talking of many things, among
+others, of my Lord's going so often to Chelsy, and he, without my
+speaking much, do tell me that his daughters do perceive all, and do hate
+the place, and the young woman there, Mrs. Betty Becke; for my Lord, who
+sent them thither only for a disguise for his going thither, will come
+under pretence to see them, and pack them out of doors to the Parke, and
+stay behind with her; but now the young ladies are gone to their mother
+to Kensington.  To dinner, and after dinner till 10 at night in my study
+writing of my old broken office notes in shorthand all in one book, till
+my eyes did ake ready to drop out.  So home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+9th.  Up and at my office all the morning.  At noon dined at home, Mr.
+Hunt and his kinswoman (wife in the country), after dinner I to the
+office, where we sat all the afternoon.  Then at night by coach to attend
+the Duke of Albemarle about the Tangier ship.  Coming back my wife spied
+me going home by coach from Mr. Hunt's, with whom she hath gained much in
+discourse to-day concerning W. Howe's discourse of me to him.  That he
+was the man that got me to be secretary to my Lord; and all that I have
+thereby, and that for all this I never did give him 6d. in my life.
+Which makes me wonder that this rogue dare talk after this manner, and I
+think all the world is grown false.  But I hope I shall make good use of
+it.  So home to supper and to bed, my eyes aching mightily since last
+night.
+
+
+
+10th.  Up and by water to White Hall, and there to a Committee of
+Tangier, and had occasion to see how my Lord Ashworth--[Lord Ashworth is
+probably a miswriting for Lord Ashley (afterwards Earl of Shaftesbury).]
+--deports himself, which is very fine indeed, and it joys my heart to see
+that there is any body looks so near into the King's business as I
+perceive he do in this business of my Lord Peterborough's accounts.
+Thence into the Parke, and met and walked with Captain Sylas Taylor, my
+old acquaintance while I was of the Exchequer, and Dr. Whore, talking of
+musique, and particularly of Mr. Berckenshaw's way, which Taylor
+magnifies mightily, and perhaps but what it deserves, but not so easily
+to be understood as he and others make of it.  Thence home by water, and
+after dinner abroad to buy several things, as a map, and powder, and
+other small things, and so home to my office, and in the evening with
+Captain Taylor by water to our Tangier ship, and so home, well pleased,
+having received L26 profit to-day of my bargain for this ship, which
+comforts me mightily, though I confess my heart, what with my being out
+of order as to my health, and the fear I have of the money my Lord oweth
+me and I stand indebted to him in, is much cast down of late.  In the
+evening home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, where some
+discourse arose from Sir G. Carteret and Mr. Coventry, which gives me
+occasion to think that something like a war is expected now indeed,
+though upon the 'Change afterwards I hear too that an Embassador is
+landed from Holland, and one from their East India Company, to treat with
+ours about the wrongs we pretend to.  Mr. Creed dined with me, and thence
+after dinner by coach with my wife only to take the ayre, it being very
+warm and pleasant, to Bowe and Old Ford; and thence to Hackney.  There
+'light, and played at shuffle-board, eat cream and good churies; and so
+with good refreshment home.  Then to my office vexed with Captain Taylor
+about the delay of carrying down the ship hired by me for Tangier, and
+late about that and other things at the office.  So home to supper and to
+bed.
+
+
+
+12th (Lord's day).  All the morning in my chamber consulting my lesson of
+ship building, and at noon Mr. Creed by appointment came and dined with
+us, and sat talking all the afternoon till, about church time, my wife
+and I began our great dispute about going to Griffin's child's
+christening, where I was to have been godfather, but Sir J. Minnes
+refusing, he wanted an equal for me and my Lady Batten, and so sought for
+other.  Then the question was whether my wife should go, and she having
+dressed herself on purpose, was very angry, and began to talk openly of
+my keeping her within doors before Creed, which vexed me to the guts, but
+I had the discretion to keep myself without passion, and so resolved at
+last not to go, but to go down by water, which we did by H. Russell--
+[a waterman]--to the Half-way house, and there eat and drank, and upon a
+very small occasion had a difference again broke out, where without any
+the least cause she had the cunning to cry a great while, and talk and
+blubber, which made me mighty angry in mind, but said nothing to provoke
+her because Creed was there, but walked home, being troubled in my mind
+also about the knavery and neglect of Captain Fudge and Taylor, who were
+to have had their ship for Tangier ready by Thursday last, and now the
+men by a mistake are come on board, and not any master or man or boy of
+the ship's company on board with them when we came by her side this
+afternoon, and also received a letter from Mr. Coventry this day in
+complaint of it.  We came home, and after supper Creed went home, and I
+to bed.  My wife made great means to be friends, coming to my bedside and
+doing all things to please me, and at last I could not hold out, but
+seemed pleased, and so parted, and I with much ado to sleep, but was
+easily wakened by extraordinary great rain, and my mind troubled the more
+to think what the soldiers would do on board tonight in all this weather.
+
+
+
+13th.  So up at 5 o'clock, and with Captain Taylor on board her at
+Deptford, and found all out of order, only the soldiers civil, and Sir
+Arthur Bassett a civil person.  I rated at Captain Taylor, whom, contrary
+to my expectation, I found a lying and a very stupid blundering fellow,
+good for nothing, and yet we talk of him in the Navy as if he had been an
+excellent officer, but I find him a lying knave, and of no judgment or
+dispatch at all.  After finding the condition of the ship, no master, not
+above four men, and many ship's provisions, sayls, and other things
+wanting, I went back and called upon Fudge, whom I found like a lying
+rogue unready to go on board, but I did so jeer him that I made him get
+every thing ready, and left Taylor and H. Russell to quicken him, and so
+away and I by water on to White Hall, where I met his Royal Highnesse at
+a Tangier Committee about this very thing, and did there satisfy him how
+things are, at which all was pacified without any trouble, and I hope may
+end well, but I confess I am at a real trouble for fear the rogue should
+not do his work, and I come to shame and losse of the money I did hope
+justly to have got by it.  Thence walked with Mr. Coventry to St.
+James's, and there spent by his desire the whole morning reading of some
+old Navy books given him of old Sir John Cooke's by the Archbishop of
+Canterbury that now is; wherein the order that was observed in the Navy
+then, above what it is now, is very observable, and fine things we did
+observe in our reading.  Anon to dinner, after dinner to discourse of the
+business of the Dutch warr, wherein he tells me the Dutch do in every
+particular, which are but few and small things that we can demand of
+them, whatever cry we unjustly make, do seem to offer at an
+accommodation, for they do owne that it is not for their profit to have
+warr with England.  We did also talk of a History of the Navy of England,
+how fit it were to be writ; and he did say that it hath been in his mind
+to propose to me the writing of the History of the late Dutch warr, which
+I am glad to hear, it being a thing I much desire, and sorts mightily
+with my genius; and, if well done, may recommend me much.  So he says he
+will get me an order for making of searches to all records, &c., in order
+thereto, and I shall take great delight in doing of it.  Thence by water
+down to the Tower, and thither sent for Mr. Creed to my house, where he
+promised to be, and he and I down to the ship, and find all things in
+pretty good order, and I hope will end to my mind.  Thence having a gaily
+down to Greenwich, and there saw the King's works, which are great,
+a-doing there, and so to the Cherry Garden, and so carried some cherries
+home, and after supper to bed, my wife lying with me, which from my not
+being thoroughly well, nor she, we have not done above once these two or
+three weeks.
+
+
+
+14th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and had great
+conflict about the flags again, and am vexed methought to see my Lord
+Berkely not satisfied with what I said, but however I stop the King's
+being abused by the flag makers for the present.  I do not know how it
+may end, but I will do my best to preserve it.  So home to dinner, and
+after dinner by coach to Kensington.  In the way overtaking Mr. Laxton,
+the apothecary, with his wife and daughters, very fine young lasses, in a
+coach; and so both of us to my Lady Sandwich, who hath lain this
+fortnight here at Deane Hodges's.  Much company came hither to-day, my
+Lady Carteret, &c., Sir William Wheeler and his lady, and, above all, Mr.
+Becke, of Chelsy, and wife and daughter, my Lord's mistress, and one that
+hath not one good feature in her face, and yet is a fine lady, of a fine
+taille, and very well carriaged, and mighty discreet.  I took all the
+occasion I could to discourse with the young ladies in her company to
+give occasion to her to talk, which now and then she did, and that mighty
+finely, and is, I perceive, a woman of such an ayre, as I wonder the less
+at my Lord's favour to her, and I dare warrant him she hath brains enough
+to entangle him.  Two or three houres we were in her company, going into
+Sir H. Finche's garden, and seeing the fountayne, and singing there with
+the ladies, and a mighty fine cool place it is, with a great laver of
+water in the middle and the bravest place for musique I ever heard.
+After much mirthe, discoursing to the ladies in defence of the city
+against the country or court, and giving them occasion to invite
+themselves to-morrow to me to dinner, to my venison pasty, I got their
+mother's leave, and so good night, very well pleased with my day's work,
+and, above all, that I have seen my Lord's mistresse.  So home to supper,
+and a little at my office, and to bed.
+
+
+
+15th.  Up and by appointment with Captain Witham (the Captain that
+brought the newes of the disaster at Tangier, where my Lord Tiviott was
+slain) and Mr. Tooker to Beares Quay, and there saw and more afterward at
+the several grannarys several parcels of oates, and strange it is to hear
+how it will heat itself if laid up green and not often turned.  We came
+not to any agreement, but did cheapen several parcels, and thence away,
+promising to send again to them.  So to the Victualling office, and then
+home.  And in our garden I got Captain Witham to tell me the whole story
+of my Lord Tiviott's misfortune; for he was upon the guard with his horse
+neare the towne, when at a distance he saw the enemy appear upon a hill,
+a mile and a half off, and made up to them, and with much ado escaped
+himself; but what became of my Lord he neither knows nor thinks that any
+body but the enemy can tell.  Our losse was about four hundred.  But he
+tells me that the greater wonder is that my Lord Tiviott met no sooner
+with such a disaster; for every day he did commit himself to more
+probable danger than this, for now he had the assurance of all his scouts
+that there was no enemy thereabouts; whereas he used every day to go out
+with two or three with him, to make his discoveries, in greater danger,
+and yet the man that could not endure to have anybody else to go a step
+out of order to endanger himself.  He concludes him to be the man of the
+hardest fate to lose so much honour at one blow that ever was.  His
+relation being done he parted; and so I home to look after things for
+dinner.  And anon at noon comes Mr. Creed by chance, and by and by the
+three young ladies:--[Lord Sandwich's daughters.]-- and very merry we
+were with our pasty, very well baked; and a good dish of roasted
+chickens; pease, lobsters, strawberries.  And after dinner to cards: and
+about five o'clock, by water down to Greenwich; and up to the top of the
+hill, and there played upon the ground at cards.  And so to the Cherry
+Garden, and then by water singing finely to the Bridge, and there landed;
+and so took boat again, and to Somersett House.  And by this time, the
+tide being against us, it was past ten of the clock; and such a
+troublesome passage, in regard of my Lady Paulina's fearfullness, that in
+all my life I never did see any poor wretch in that condition.  Being
+come hither, there waited for them their coach; but it being so late, I
+doubted what to do how to get them home.  After half an hour's stay in
+the street, I sent my wife home by coach with Mr. Creed's boy; and myself
+and Creed in the coach home with them.  But, Lord! the fear that my Lady
+Paulina was in every step of the way; and indeed at this time of the
+night it was no safe thing to go that road; so that I was even afeard
+myself, though I appeared otherwise.--We came safe, however, to their
+house, where all were abed; we knocked them up, my Lady and all the
+family being in bed.  So put them into doors; and leaving them with the
+mayds, bade them good night, and then into the towne, Creed and I, it
+being about twelve o'clock and past; and to several houses, inns, but
+could get no lodging, all being in bed.  At the last house, at last, we
+found some people drinking and roaring; and there got in, and after
+drinking, got an ill bed, where
+
+
+
+16th.  I lay in my drawers and stockings and wastecoate till five of the
+clock, and so up; and being well pleased with our frolique, walked to
+Knightsbridge, and there eat a messe of creame, and so to St. James's,
+and there walked a little, and so I to White Hall, and took coach, and
+found my wife well got home last night, and now in bed.  So I to the
+office, where all the morning, and at noon to the 'Change, so home and to
+my office, where Mr. Ackworth came to me (though he knows himself and I
+know him to be a very knave), yet he came to me to discover the knavery
+of other people like the most honest man in the world.  However, good use
+I shall make of his discourse, for in this he is much in the right.  He
+being gone I to the 'Change, Mr. Creed with me, after we had been by
+water to see a vessell we have hired to carry more soldiers to Tangier,
+and also visited a rope ground, wherein I learnt several useful things.
+The talk upon the 'Change is, that De Ruyter is dead, with fifty men of
+his own ship, of the plague, at Cales: that the Holland Embassador here
+do endeavour to sweeten us with fair words; and things likely to be
+peaceable.  Home after I had spoke with my cozen Richard Pepys upon the
+'Change, about supplying us with bewpers--[??  D.W.]--from Norwich,
+which I should be glad of, if cheap.  So home to supper and bed.
+
+
+
+17th.  Up, and to my office, where I dispatched much business, and then
+down by water to Woolwich to make a discovery of a cheate providing for
+us in the working of some of our own ground Tows into new cordage, to be
+sold to us for Riga cordage.  Thence to Mr. Falconer's, where I met Sir
+W. Batten and Lady, and Captain Tinker, and there dined with them, and so
+to the Dockyarde and to Deptford by water, and there very long informing
+myself in the business of flags and bewpers and other things, and so home
+late, being weary, and full of good information to-day, but I perceive
+the corruptions of the Navy are of so many kinds that it is endless to
+look after them, especially while such a one as Sir W. Batten discourages
+every man that is honest.  So home to my office, there very late, and
+then to supper and to bed mightily troubled in my mind to hear how Sir W.
+Batten and Sir J. Minnes do labour all they can to abuse or enable others
+to abuse the King.
+
+
+
+18th.  From morning till 11 at night (only a little at dinner at home) at
+my office very busy, setting many businesses in order to my great
+trouble, but great content in the end.  So home to supper and to bed.
+Strange to see how pert Sir W. Pen is to-day newly come from Portsmouth
+with his head full of great reports of his service and the state of the
+ships there.  When that is over he will be just as another man again or
+worse.  But I wonder whence Mr. Coventry should take all this care for
+him, to send for him up only to look after his Irish business with my
+Lord Ormond and to get the Duke's leave for him to come with so much
+officiousness, when I am sure he knows him as well as I do as to his
+little service he do.
+
+
+
+19th (Lord's day).  Up, and all the morning and afternoon (only at dinner
+at home) at my office doing many businesses for want of time on the week
+days.  In the afternoon the greatest shower of rain of a sudden and the
+greatest and most continued thunder that ever I heard I think in my life.
+In the evening home to my wife, and there talked seriously of several of
+our family concernments, and among others of bringing Pall out of the
+country to us here to try to put her off, which I am very desirous, and
+my wife also of.  So to supper, prayers, which I have of late too much
+omitted.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+20th.  It having been a very cold night last night I had got some cold,
+and so in pain by wind, and a sure precursor of pain is sudden letting
+off farts, and when that stops, then my passages stop and my pain begins.
+Up and did several businesses, and so with my wife by water to White
+Hall, she to her father's, I to the Duke, where we did our usual
+business.  And among other discourse of the Dutch, he was merrily saying
+how they print that Prince Rupert, Duke of Albemarle, and my Lord
+Sandwich, are to be Generalls; and soon after is to follow them "Vieux
+Pen;" and so the Duke called him in mirth Old Pen.  They have, it seems,
+lately wrote to the King, to assure him that their setting-out ships were
+only to defend their fishing-trade, and to stay near home, not to annoy
+the King's subjects; and to desire that he would do the like with his
+ships: which the King laughs at, but yet is troubled they should think
+him such a child, to suffer them to bring home their fish and East India
+Company's ships, and then they will not care a fart for us.  Thence to
+Westminster Hall, it being term time, meeting Mr. Dickering, he tells me
+how my Lady last week went to see Mrs. Becke, the mother; and by and by
+the daughter came in, but that my Lady do say herself, as he says, that
+she knew not for what reason, for she never knew they had a daughter,
+which I do not believe.  She was troubled, and her heart did rise as soon
+as she appeared, and seems the most ugly woman that ever she saw.  This
+if true were strange, but I believe it is not.  Thence to my Lord's
+lodgings; and were merry with the young ladies, who make a great story of
+their appearing before their mother the morning after we carried them,
+the last week, home so late; and that their mother took it very well, at
+least without any anger.  Here I heard how the rich widow, my Lady Gold,
+is married to one Neale, after he had received a box on the eare by her
+brother (who was there a sentinel, in behalf of some courtier) at the
+door; but made him draw, and wounded him.  She called Neale up to her,
+and sent for a priest, married presently, and went to bed.  The brother
+sent to the Court, and had a serjeant sent for Neale; but Neale sent for
+him up to be seen in bed, and she owned him for her husband: and so all
+is past.  It seems Sir H. Bennet did look after her.  My Lady very
+pleasant.  After dinner came in Sir Thomas Crew and Mr. Sidney, lately
+come from France, who is growne a little, and a pretty youth he is; but
+not so improved as they did give him out to be, but like a child still.
+But yet I can perceive he hath good parts and good inclinations.  Thence
+with Creed, who dined here, to Westminster to find out Mr. Hawly, and
+did, but he did not accept of my offer of his being steward to my Lord at
+sea.  Thence alone to several places about my law businesses, and with
+good success; at last I to Mr. Townsend at the Wardrobe, and received
+kind words from him to be true to me against Captain Ferrers his
+endeavours to get the place from my father as my Lord hath promised him.
+Here met Will. Howe, and he went forth with me; and by water back to
+White Hall to wait on my Lord, who is come back from Hinchinbroke; where
+he has been about 4 or 5 days.  But I was never more vexed to see how an
+over-officious visitt is received, for he received me with as little
+concernment as in the middle of his discontent, and a fool I am to be of
+so servile a humour, and vexed with that consideration I took coach home,
+and could not get it off my mind all night.  To supper and to bed, my
+wife finding fault with Besse for her calling upon Jane that lived with
+us, and there heard Mrs. Harper and her talk ill of us and not told us of
+it.  With which I was also vexed, and told her soundly of it till she
+cried, poor wench, and I hope without dissimulation, and yet I cannot
+tell; however, I was glad to see in what manner she received it, and so
+to sleep.
+
+
+
+21st.  Being weary yesterday with walking I sleep long, and at last up
+and to the office, where all the morning.  At home to dinner, Mr. Deane
+with me.  After dinner I to White Hall (setting down my wife by the way)
+to a Committee of Tangier, where the Duke of Yorke, I perceive, do attend
+the business very well, much better than any man there or most of them,
+and my [mind] eased of some trouble I lay under for fear of his thinking
+ill of me from the bad successe in the setting forth of these crew men to
+Tangier.  Thence with Mr. Creed, and walked in the Parke, and so to the
+New Exchange, meeting Mr. Moore, and he with us.  I shewed him no
+friendly look, but he took no notice to me of the Wardrobe business,
+which vexes me.  I perceive by him my Lord's business of his family and
+estate goes very ill, and runs in debt mightily.  I would to God I were
+clear of it, both as to my owne money and the bond of L1000, which I
+stand debtor for him in, to my cozen Thomas Pepys.  Thence by coach home
+and to my office a little, and so to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up and I found Mr. Creed below, who staid with me a while, and
+then I to business all the morning.  At noon to the 'Change and Coffee-
+house, where great talke of the Dutch preparing of sixty sayle of ships.
+The plague grows mightily among them, both at sea and land.  From the
+'Change to dinner to Trinity House with Sir W. Rider and Cutler, where a
+very good dinner.  Here Sir G. Ascue dined also, who I perceive desires
+to make himself known among the seamen.  Thence home, there coming to me
+my Lord Peterborough's Sollicitor with a letter from him to desire
+present dispatch in his business of freight, and promises me L50, which
+is good newes, and I hope to do his business readily for him.  This much
+rejoiced me.  All the afternoon at his business, and late at night comes
+the Sollicitor again, and I with him at 9 o'clock to Mr. Povy's, and
+there acquainted him with the business.  The money he won't pay without
+warrant, but that will be got done in a few days.  So home by coach and
+to bed.
+
+
+
+23rd.  Up, and to the office, and there we sat all the morning.  So to
+the 'Change, and then home to dinner and to my office, where till 10 at
+night very busy, and so home to supper and to bed.  My cozen, Thomas
+Pepys, was with me yesterday and I took occasion to speak to him about
+the bond I stand bound for my Lord Sandwich to him in L1000.  I did very
+plainly, obliging him to secrecy, tell him how the matter stands, yet
+with all duty to my Lord my resolution to be bound for whatever he
+desires me for him, yet that I would be glad he had any other security.
+I perceive by Mr. Moore today that he hath been with my Lord, and my Lord
+how he takes it I know not, but he is looking after other security and I
+am mighty glad of it.  W. Howe was with me this afternoon, to desire some
+things to be got ready for my Lord against his going down to his ship,
+which will be soon; for it seems the King and both the Queenes intend to
+visit him.  The Lord knows how my Lord will get out of this charge; for
+Mr. Moore tells me to-day that he is L10,000 in debt and this will, with
+many other things that daily will grow upon him (while he minds his
+pleasure as he do), set him further backward.  But it was pretty this
+afternoon to hear W. Howe mince the matter, and say that he do believe
+that my Lord is in debt L2000 or L3000, and then corrected himself and
+said, No, not so, but I am afraid he is in debt L1000.  I pray God gets
+me well rid of his Lordship as to his debt, and I care not.
+
+
+
+24th.  Up and out with Captain Witham in several places again to look for
+oats for Tangier, and among other places to the City granarys, where it
+seems every company have their granary and obliged to keep such a
+quantity of corne always there or at a time of scarcity to issue so much
+at so much a bushell: and a fine thing it is to see their stores of all
+sorts, for piles for the bridge, and for pipes, a thing I never saw
+before.
+
+     [From the commencement of the reign of Henry VIII., or perhaps
+     earlier, it was the custom of the City of London to provide against
+     scarcity, by requiring each of the chartered Companies to keep in
+     store a certain quantity of corn, which was to be renewed from time
+     to time, and when required for that purpose, produced in the market
+     for sale, at such times and prices, and in such quantities, as the
+     Lord Mayor or Common Council should direct.  See the report of a
+     case in the Court of Chancery, "Attorney-General v. Haberdashers'
+     Company" (Mylne and Keens "Reports," vol. i., p. 420).--B.]
+
+Thence to the office, and there busy all the morning.  At noon to my
+uncle Wight's, and there dined, my wife being there all the morning.
+After dinner to White Hall; and there met with Mr. Pierce, and he showed
+me the Queene's bed-chamber, and her closett, where she had nothing but
+some pretty pious pictures, and books of devotion; and her holy water at
+her head as she sleeps, with her clock by her bed-side, wherein a lamp
+burns that tells her the time of the night at any time.  Thence with him
+to the Parke, and there met the Queene coming from Chappell, with her
+Mayds of Honour, all in silver-lace gowns again: which is new to me, and
+that which I did not think would have been brought up again.  Thence he
+carried me to the King's closett: where such variety of pictures, and
+other things of value and rarity, that I was properly confounded and
+enjoyed no pleasure in the sight of them; which is the only time in my
+life that ever I was so at a loss for pleasure, in the greatest plenty of
+objects to give it me.  Thence home, calling in many places and doing
+abundance of errands to my great content, and at night weary home, where
+Mr. Creed waited for me, and he and I walked in the garden, where he told
+me he is now in a hurry fitting himself for sea, and that it remains that
+he deals as an ingenuous man with me in the business I wot of, which he
+will do before he goes.  But I perceive he will have me do many good
+turns for him first, both as to his bills coming to him in this office,
+and also in his absence at the Committee of Tangier, which I promise, and
+as he acquits himself to me I will willingly do.  I would I knew the
+worst of it, what it is he intends, that so I may either quit my hands of
+him or continue my kindness still to him.
+
+
+
+25th.  We staid late, and he lay with me all night and rose very merry
+talking, and excellent company he is, that is the truth of it, and a most
+cunning man.  He being gone I to the office, where we sat all the
+morning.  At noon to dinner, and then to my office busy, and by and by
+home with Mr. Deane to a lesson upon raising a Bend of Timbers,
+
+     [This seems to refer to knee timber, of which there was not a
+     sufficient supply.  A proposal was made to produce this bent wood
+     artificially: "June 22, 1664.  Sir William Petty intimated that it
+     seemed by the scarcity and greater rate of knee timber that nature
+     did not furnish crooked wood enough for building: wherefore he
+     thought it would be fit to raise by art, so much of it in
+     proportion, as to reduce it to an equal rate with strait timber"
+     (Birch's "History of the Royal Society,")]
+
+and he being gone I to the office, and there came Captain Taylor, and he
+and I home, and I have done all very well with him as to the business of
+the last trouble, so that come what will come my name will be clear of
+any false dealing with him.  So to my office again late, and then to bed.
+
+
+
+26th (Lord's day).  Up, and Sir J. Minnes set me down at my Lord
+Sandwich's, where I waited till his coming down, when he came, too, could
+find little to say to me but only a general question or two, and so good-
+bye.  Here his little daughter, my Lady Katharine was brought, who is
+lately come from my father's at Brampton, to have her cheek looked after,
+which is and hath long been sore.  But my Lord will rather have it be as
+it is, with a scarr in her face, than endanger it being worse by
+tampering.  He being gone, I went home, a little troubled to see he minds
+me no more, and with Creed called at several churches, which, God knows,
+are supplied with very young men, and the churches very empty; so home
+and at our owne church looked in, and there heard one preach whom Sir W.
+Pen brought, which he desired us yesterday to hear, that had been his
+chaplin in Ireland, a very silly fellow.  So home and to dinner, and
+after dinner a frolique took us, we would go this afternoon to the Hope;
+so my wife dressed herself, and, with good victuals and drink, we took
+boat presently and the tide with us got down, but it was night, and the
+tide spent by the time we got to Gravesend; so there we stopped, but went
+not on shore, only Creed, to get some cherries,
+
+     [Pliny tells us that cherries were introduced into Britain by the
+     Romans, and Lydgate alludes to them as sold in the London streets.
+     Richard Haines, fruiterer to Henry VI IL, imported a number of
+     cherry trees from Flanders, and planted them at Tenham, in Kent.
+     Hence the fame of the Kentish cherries.]
+
+and send a letter to the Hope, where the Fleete lies.  And so, it being
+rainy, and thundering mightily, and lightning, we returned.  By and by
+the evening turned mighty clear and moonshine; we got with great pleasure
+home, about twelve o'clock, which did much please us, Creed telling
+pretty stories in the boat.  He lay with me all night.
+
+
+
+27th.  Up, and he and I walked to Paul's Church yard, and there saw Sir
+Harry Spillman's book, and I bespoke it and others, and thence we took
+coach, and he to my Lord's and I to St. James's, where we did our usual
+business, and thence I home and dined, and then by water to Woolwich, and
+there spent the afternoon till night under pretence of buying Captain
+Blackman's house and grounds, and viewing the ground took notice of
+Clothiers' cordage with which he, I believe, thinks to cheat the King.
+That being done I by water home, it being night first, and there I find
+our new mayd Jane come, a cook mayd.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+28th.  Up, and this day put on a half shirt first this summer, it being
+very hot; and yet so ill-tempered I am grown, that I am afeard I shall
+catch cold, while all the world is ready to melt away.  To the office all
+the morning, at noon to dinner at home, then to my office till the
+evening, then out about several businesses and then by appointment to the
+'Change, and thence with my uncle Wight to the Mum house, and there
+drinking, he do complain of his wife most cruel as the most troublesome
+woman in the world, and how she will have her will, saying she brought
+him a portion and God knows what.  By which, with many instances more, I
+perceive they do live a sad life together.  Thence to the Mitre and there
+comes Dr. Burnett to us and Mr. Maes, but the meeting was chiefly to
+bring the Doctor and me together, and there I began to have his advice
+about my disease, and then invited him to my house: and I am resolved to
+put myself into his hands.  Here very late, but I drank nothing, nor
+will, though he do advise me to take care of cold drinks.  So home and to
+bed.
+
+
+
+29th.  Up, and Mr. Shepley came to me, who is lately come to town; among
+other things I hear by him how the children are sent for away from my
+father's, but he says without any great discontent.  I am troubled there
+should be this occasion of difference, and yet I am glad they are gone,
+lest it should have come to worse.  He tells me how my brave dogg I did
+give him, going out betimes one morning to Huntington, was set upon by
+five other doggs, and worried to pieces, of which I am a little, and he
+the most sorry I ever saw man for such a thing.  Forth with him and
+walked a good way talking, then parted and I to the Temple, and to my
+cozen Roger Pepys, and thence by water to Westminster to see Dean
+Honiwood, whom I had not visited a great while.  He is a good-natured,
+but a very weak man, yet a Dean, and a man in great esteem.  Thence
+walked to my Lord Sandwich's, and there dined, my Lord there.  He was
+pleasant enough at table with me, but yet without any discourse of
+business, or any regard to me when dinner was over, but fell to cards,
+and my Lady and I sat two hours alone, talking of the condition of her
+family's being greatly in debt, and many children now coming up to
+provide for.  I did give her my sense very plain of it, which she took
+well and carried further than myself, to the bemoaning their condition,
+and remembering how finely things were ordered about six years ago, when
+I lived there and my Lord at sea every year.  Thence home, doing several
+errands by the way.  So to my office, and there till late at night, Mr.
+Comander coming to me for me to sign and seal the new draft of my will,
+which I did do, I having altered something upon the death of my brother
+Tom.  So home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+30th.  Up, and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  At noon home
+to dinner, Mr. Wayth with me, and by and by comes in Mr. Falconer and his
+wife and dined with us, the first time she was ever here.  We had a
+pretty good dinner, very merry in discourse, sat after dinner an hour or
+two, then down by water to Deptford and Woolwich about getting of some
+business done which I was bound to by my oath this month, and though in
+some things I have not come to the height of my vow of doing all my
+business in paying all my petty debts and receipt of all my petty monies
+due to me, yet I bless God I am not conscious of any neglect in me that
+they are not done, having not minded my pleasure at all, and so being
+resolved to take no manner of pleasure till it be done, I doubt not God
+will forgive me for not forfeiting the L10 promised.  Walked back from
+Woolwich to Greenwich all alone, save a man that had a cudgell in his
+hand, and, though he told me he laboured in the King's yarde, and many
+other good arguments that he is an honest man, yet, God forgive me!  I
+did doubt he might knock me on the head behind with his club.  But I got
+safe home.  Then to the making up my month's accounts, and find myself
+still a gainer and rose to L951, for which God be blessed.  I end the
+month with my mind full of business and some sorrow that I have not
+exactly performed all my vowes, though my not doing is not my fault, and
+shall be made good out of my first leisure.  Great doubts yet whether the
+Dutch wary go on or no.  The Fleet ready in the Hope, of twelve sayle.
+The King and Queenes go on board, they say, on Saturday next.  Young
+children of my Lord Sandwich gone with their mayds from my mother's,
+which troubles me, it being, I hear from Mr. Shepley, with great
+discontent, saying, that though they buy good meate, yet can never have
+it before it stinks, which I am ashamed of.

+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                 JULY
+                                 1664
+
+
+July 1st.  Up and within all the morning, first bringing down my Tryangle
+to my chamber below, having a new frame made proper for it to stand on.
+By and by comes Dr. Burnett, who assures me that I have an ulcer either
+in the kidneys or bladder, for my water, which he saw yesterday, he is
+sure the sediment is not slime gathered by heat, but is a direct pusse.
+He did write me down some direction what to do for it, but not with the
+satisfaction I expected.
+
+                       Dr. Burnett's advice to mee.
+
+                 The Originall is fyled among my letters.
+
+     Take of ye Rootes of Marsh-Mallows foure ounces, of Cumfry, of
+     Liquorish, of each two ounces, of ye Mowers of St. John's Wort two
+     Handsfull, of ye Leaves of Plantan, of Alehoofe, of each three
+     handfulls, of Selfeheale, of Red Roses, of each one Handfull, of
+     Cynament, of Nutmegg, of each halfe an ounce.  Beate them well, then
+     powre upon them one Quart of old Rhenish wine, and about Six houres
+     after strayne it and clarify it with ye white of an Egge, and with a
+     sufficient quantity of sugar, boyle it to ye consistence of a Syrrup
+     and reserve it for use.
+
+     Dissolve one spoonefull of this Syrrup in every draught of Ale or
+     beere you drink.
+
+     Morning and evening swallow ye quantity of an hazle-nutt of Cyprus
+     Terebintine.
+
+     If you are bound or have a fit of ye Stone eate an ounce of Cassia
+     new drawne, from ye poynt of a knife.
+
+     Old Canary or Malaga wine you may drinke to three or 4 glasses, but
+     noe new wine, and what wine you drinke, lett it bee at meales.-[From
+     a slip of paper inserted in the Diary at this place.]
+
+
+I did give him a piece, with good hopes, however, that his advice will be
+of use to me, though it is strange that Mr. Hollyard should never say one
+word of this ulcer in all his life to me.  He being gone, I to the
+'Change, and thence home to dinner, and so to my office, busy till the
+evening, and then by agreement came Mr. Hill and Andrews and one
+Cheswicke, a maister who plays very well upon the Spinette, and we sat
+singing Psalms till 9 at night, and so broke up with great pleasure, and
+very good company it is, and I hope I shall now and then have their
+company.  They being gone, I to my office till towards twelve o'clock,
+and then home and to bed.  Upon the 'Change, this day, I saw how
+uncertain the temper of the people is, that, from our discharging of
+about 200 that lay idle, having nothing to do, upon some of our ships,
+which were ordered to be fitted for service, and their works are now
+done, the towne do talk that the King discharges all his men, 200
+yesterday and 800 to-day, and that now he hath got L100,000 in his hand,
+he values not a Dutch warr.  But I undeceived a great many, telling them
+how it is.
+
+
+
+2nd.  Up and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change, and there, which is strange, I could meet with nobody that I
+could invite home to my venison pasty, but only Mr. Alsopp and Mr.
+Lanyon, whom I invited last night, and a friend they brought along with
+them.  So home and with our venison pasty we had other good meat and good
+discourse.  After dinner sat close to discourse about our business of the
+victualling of the garrison of Tangier, taking their prices of all
+provisions, and I do hope to order it so that they and I also may get
+something by it, which do much please me, for I hope I may get nobly and
+honestly with profit to the King.  They being gone came Sir W. Warren,
+and he and I discoursed long about the business of masts, and then in the
+evening to my office, where late writing letters, and then home to look
+over some Brampton papers, which I am under an oathe to dispatch before I
+spend one half houre in any pleasure or go to bed before 12 o'clock, to
+which, by the grace of God, I will be true.  Then to bed.  When I came
+home I found that to-morrow being Sunday I should gain nothing by doing
+it to-night, and to-morrow I can do it very well and better than
+to-night.  I went to bed before my time, but with a resolution of doing
+the thing to better purpose to-morrow.
+
+
+
+3rd (Lord's day).  Up and ready, and all the morning in my chamber
+looking over and settling some Brampton businesses.  At noon to dinner,
+where the remains of yesterday's venison and a couple of brave green
+geese, which we are fain to eat alone, because they will not keepe, which
+troubled us.  After dinner I close to my business, and before the evening
+did end it with great content, and my mind eased by it.  Then up and
+spent the evening walking with my wife talking, and it thundering and
+lightning all the evening, and this yeare have had the most of thunder
+and lightning they say of any in man's memory, and so it is, it seems, in
+France and everywhere else.  So to prayers and to bed.
+
+
+
+4th.  Up, and many people with me about business, and then out to several
+places, and so at noon to my Lord Crew's, and there dined and very much
+made of there by him.  He offered me the selling of some land of his in
+Cambridgeshire, a purchase of about L1000, and if I can compass it I
+will.  After dinner I walked homeward, still doing business by the way,
+and at home find my wife this day of her owne accord to have lain out
+25s. upon a pair of pendantes for her eares, which did vex me and brought
+both me and her to very high and very foule words from her to me, such as
+trouble me to think she should have in her mouth, and reflecting upon our
+old differences, which I hate to have remembered.  I vowed to breake
+them, or that she should go and get what she could for them again.  I
+went with that resolution out of doors; the poor wretch afterwards in a
+little while did send out to change them for her money again.  I followed
+Besse her messenger at the 'Change, and there did consult and sent her
+back; I would not have them changed, being satisfied that she yielded.
+So went home, and friends again as to that business; but the words I
+could not get out of my mind, and so went to bed at night discontented,
+and she came to bed to me, but all would not make me friends, but sleep
+and rise in the morning angry.  This day the King and the Queene went to
+visit my Lord Sandwich and the fleete, going forth in the Hope.
+
+     ["Their Majesties were treated at Tilbury Hope by the Earl of
+     Sandwich, returning the same day, abundantly satisfied both with the
+     dutiful respects of that honourable person and with the excellent
+     condition of all matters committed to his charge" ("The Newes," July
+     7th, 1664).--B.]
+
+
+
+5th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change a little, then with W. Howe home and dined.  So after dinner to
+my office, and there busy till late at night, having had among other
+things much discourse with young Gregory about the Chest business,
+wherein Sir W. Batten is so great a knave, and also with Alsop and Lanyon
+about the Tangier victualling, wherein I hope to get something for
+myself.  Late home to supper and to bed, being full of thoughts of a
+sudden resolution this day taken upon the 'Change of going down to-morrow
+to the Hope.
+
+
+
+6th.  Up very betimes, and my wife also, and got us ready; and about
+eight o'clock, having got some bottles of wine and beer and neat's
+tongues, we went to our barge at the Towre, where Mr. Pierce and his
+wife, and a kinswoman and his sister, and Mrs. Clerke and her sister and
+cozen were to expect us; and so set out for the Hope, all the way down
+playing at cards and other sports, spending our time pretty merry.  Come
+to the Hope about one and there showed them all the ships, and had a
+collacion of anchovies, gammon, &c., and after an houre's stay or more,
+embarked again for home; and so to cards and other sports till we came to
+Greenwich, and there Mrs. Clerke and my wife and I on shore to an
+alehouse, for them to do their business, and so to the barge again,
+having shown them the King's pleasure boat; and so home to the Bridge,
+bringing night home with us; and it rained hard, but we got them on foot
+to the Beare, and there put them into a boat, and I back to my wife in
+the barge, and so to the Tower Wharf and home, being very well pleased
+today with the company, especially Mrs. Pierce, who continues her
+complexion as well as ever, and hath, at this day, I think, the best
+complexion that ever I saw on any woman, young or old, or child either,
+all days of my life.  Also Mrs. Clerke's kinswoman sings very prettily,
+but is very confident in it; Mrs. Clerke herself witty, but spoils all in
+being so conceited and making so great a flutter with a few fine clothes
+and some bad tawdry things worne with them.  But the charge of the barge
+lies heavy upon me, which troubles me, but it is but once, and I may make
+Pierce do me some courtesy as great.  Being come home, I weary to bed
+with sitting.  The reason of Dr. Clerke's not being here was the King's
+being sicke last night and let blood, and so he durst not come away to-
+day.
+
+
+
+7th.  Up, and this day begun, the first day this year, to put off my
+linnen waistcoat, but it happening to be a cool day I was afraid of
+taking cold, which troubles me, and is the greatest pain I have in the
+world to think of my bad temper of my health.  At the office all the
+morning.  Dined at home, to my office to prepare some things against a
+Committee of Tangier this afternoon.  So to White Hall, and there found
+the Duke and twenty more reading their commission (of which I am, and was
+also sent to, to come) for the Royall Fishery, which is very large, and a
+very serious charter it is; but the company generally so ill fitted for
+so serious a worke that I do much fear it will come to little.  That
+being done, and not being able to do any thing for lacke of an oathe for
+the Governor and Assistants to take, we rose.  Then our Committee for the
+Tangier victualling met and did a little, and so up, and I and Mr.
+Coventry walked in the garden half an hour, talking of the business of
+our masts, and thence away and with Creed walked half an hour or more in
+the Park, and thence to the New Exchange to drink some creame, but missed
+it and so parted, and I home, calling by the way for my new bookes, viz.,
+Sir H. Spillman's "Whole Glossary," "Scapula's Lexicon," and
+Shakespeare's plays, which I have got money out of my stationer's bills
+to pay for.  So home and to my office a while, and then home and to bed,
+finding myself pretty well for all my waistecoate being put off to-day.
+The king is pretty well to-day, though let blood the night before
+yesterday.
+
+
+
+8th.  Up and called out by my Lord Peterborough's gentleman to Mr. Povy's
+to discourse about getting of his money, wherein I am concerned in hopes
+of the L50 my Lord hath promised me, but I dare not reckon myself sure of
+it till I have it in my main,--[hand.]--for these Lords are hard to be
+trusted.  Though I well deserve it.  I staid at Povy's for his coming in,
+and there looked over his stables and every thing, but notwithstanding
+all the times I have been there I do yet find many fine things to look
+on.  Thence to White Hall a little, to hear how the King do, he not
+having been well these three days.  I find that he is pretty well again.
+So to Paul's Churchyarde about my books, and to the binder's and directed
+the doing of my Chaucer,
+
+     [This was Speght's edition of 1602, which is still in the Pepysian
+     Library.  The book is bound in calf, with brass clasps and bosses.
+     It is not lettered.]
+
+though they were not full neate enough for me, but pretty well it is; and
+thence to the clasp-maker's to have it clasped and bossed.  So to the
+'Change and home to dinner, and so to my office till 5 o'clock, and then
+came Mr. Hill and Andrews, and we sung an houre or two.  Then broke up
+and Mr. Alsop and his company came and consulted about our Tangier
+victualling and brought it to a good head.  So they parted, and I to
+supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+9th.  Up, and at the office all the morning.  In the afternoon by coach
+with Sir J. Minnes to White Hall, and there to a Committee for Fishing;
+but the first thing was swearing to be true to the Company, and we were
+all sworne; but a great dispute we had, which, methought, is very ominous
+to the Company; some, that we should swear to be true to the best of our
+power, and others to the best of our understanding; and carried in the
+last, though in that we are the least able to serve the Company, because
+we would not be obliged to attend the business when we can, but when we
+list.  This consideration did displease me, but it was voted and so went.
+We did nothing else, but broke up till a Committee of Guinny was set and
+ended, and then met again for Tangier, and there I did my business about
+my Lord Peterborough's order and my own for my expenses for the garrison
+lately.  So home, by the way calling for my Chaucer and other books, and
+that is well done to my mind, which pleased me well.  So to my office
+till late writing letters, and so home to my wife to supper and bed,
+where we have not lain together because of the heat of the weather a good
+while, but now against her going into the country.
+
+
+
+10th (Lord's day).  Up and by water, towards noon, to Somersett House,
+and walked to my Lord Sandwich's, and there dined with my Lady and the
+children.  And after some ordinary discourse with my Lady, after dinner
+took our leaves and my wife hers, in order to her going to the country
+to-morrow.  But my Lord took not occasion to speak one word of my father
+or mother about the children at all, which I wonder at, and begin I will
+not.  Here my Lady showed us my Lady Castlemayne's picture, finely done;
+given my Lord; and a most beautiful picture it is.  Thence with my Lady
+Jemimah and Mr. Sidney to St. Gyles's Church, and there heard a long,
+poore sermon.  Thence set them down and in their coach to Kate Joyce's
+christening, where much company, good service of sweetmeates; and after
+an houre's stay, left them, and in my Lord's coach--his noble, rich
+coach--home, and there my wife fell to putting things in order against
+her going to-morrow, and I to read, and so to bed, where I not well, and
+so had no pleasure at all with my poor wife.
+
+
+
+11th.  But betimes up this morning, and, getting ready, we by coach to
+Holborne, where, at nine o'clock, they set out, and I and my man Will on
+horseback, by my wife, to Barnett; a very pleasant day; and there dined
+with her company, which was very good; a pretty gentlewoman with her,
+that goes but to Huntington, and a neighbour to us in towne.  Here we
+staid two hours and then parted for all together, and my poor wife I
+shall soon want I am sure.  Thence I and Will to see the Wells, half a
+mile off,
+
+     [The mineral springs at Barnet Common, nearly a mile to the west of
+     High Barnet.  The discovery of the wells was announced in the
+     "Perfect Diurnall" of June 5th, 1652, and Fuller, writing in 1662,
+     says that there are hopes that the waters may "save as many lives as
+     were lost in the fatal battle at Barnet" ("Worthies," Herts).  A
+     pamphlet on "The Barnet Well Water" was published by the Rev. W. M.
+     Trinder, M.D., as late as the year 1800, but in 1840 the old well-
+     house was pulled down.]
+
+and there I drank three glasses, and went and walked and came back and
+drunk two more; the woman would have had me drink three more; but I could
+not, my belly being full, but this wrought very well, and so we rode
+home, round by Kingsland, Hackney, and Mile End till we were quite weary,
+and my water working at least 7 or 8 times upon the road, which pleased
+me well, and so home weary, and not being very well, I betimes to bed,
+and there fell into a most mighty sweat in the night, about eleven
+o'clock, and there, knowing what money I have in the house and hearing a
+noyse, I begun to sweat worse and worse, till I melted almost to water.
+I rung, and could not in half an houre make either of the wenches hear
+me, and this made me fear the more, lest they might be gaga; and then I
+begun to think that there was some design in a stone being flung at the
+window over our stayres this evening, by which the thiefes meant to try
+what looking there would be after them and know our company.  These
+thoughts and fears I had, and do hence apprehend the fears of all rich
+men that are covetous and have much money by them.  At last Jane rose,
+and then I understand it was only the dogg wants a lodging and so made a
+noyse.  So to bed, but hardly slept, at last did, and so till morning,
+
+
+
+12th.  And so rose, called up by my Lord Peterborough's gentleman about
+getting his Lord's money to-day of Mr. Povy, wherein I took such order,
+that it was paid, and I had my L50 brought me, which comforts my heart.
+We sat at the office all the morning, then at home.  Dined alone; sad for
+want of company and not being very well, and know not how to eat alone.
+After dinner down with Sir G. Carteret, Sir J. Minnes, and Sir W. Batten
+to view, and did like a place by Deptford yard to lay masts in.  By and
+by comes Mr. Coventry, and after a little stay he and I down to
+Blackwall, he having a mind to see the yarde, which we did, and fine
+storehouses there are and good docks, but of no great profit to him that
+oweth them for ought we see.
+
+     [For "owneth."  This sense is very common in Shakespeare.  In the
+     original edition of the authorized version of the Bible we read: "So
+     shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that oweth this girdle"
+     (Acts xxi.  I i) Nares's Glossary.]
+
+So home by water with him, having good discourse by the way, and so I to
+the office a while, and late home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+13th.  Up and to my office, at noon (after having at an alehouse hard by
+discoursed with one Mr. Tyler, a neighbour, and one Captain Sanders about
+the discovery of some pursers that have sold their provisions) I to my
+Lord Sandwich, thinking to have dined there, but they not dining at home,
+I with Captain Ferrers to Mr. Barwell the King's Squire Sadler, where
+about this time twelvemonths I dined before at a good venison pasty.  The
+like we had now, and very good company, Mr. Tresham and others.  Thence
+to White Hall to the Fishery, and there did little.  So by water home,
+and there met Lanyon, &c., about Tangier matters, and so late to my
+office, and thence home and to bed.  Mr. Moore was with me late to desire
+me to come to my Lord Sandwich tomorrow morning, which I shall, but I
+wonder what my business is.
+
+
+
+14th.  My mind being doubtful what the business should be, I rose a
+little after four o'clock, and abroad.  Walked to my Lord's, and nobody
+up, but the porter rose out of bed to me so I back again to Fleete
+Streete, and there bought a little book of law; and thence, hearing a
+psalm sung, I went into St. Dunstan's, and there heard prayers read,
+which, it seems, is done there every morning at six o'clock; a thing I
+never did do at a chappell, but the College Chappell, in all my life.
+Thence to my Lord's again, and my Lord being up, was sent for up, and he
+and I alone.  He did begin with a most solemn profession of the same
+confidence in and love for me that he ever had, and then told me what a
+misfortune was fallen upon me and him: in me, by a displeasure which my
+Lord Chancellor did show to him last night against me, in the highest and
+most passionate manner that ever any man did speak, even to the not
+hearing of any thing to be said to him: but he told me, that he did say
+all that could be said for a man as to my faithfullnesse and duty to his
+Lordship, and did me the greatest right imaginable.  And what should the
+business be, but that I should be forward to have the trees in Clarendon
+Park marked and cut down, which he, it seems, hath bought of my Lord
+Albemarle; when, God knows!  I am the most innocent man in the world in
+it, and did nothing of myself, nor knew of his concernment therein, but
+barely obeyed my Lord Treasurer's warrant for the doing thereof.  And
+said that I did most ungentlemanlike with him, and had justified the
+rogues in cutting down a tree of his; and that I had sent the veriest
+Fanatique [Deane] that is in England to mark them, on purpose to nose--
+[provoke]--him.  All which, I did assure my Lord, was most properly false,
+and nothing like it true; and told my Lord the whole passage.  My Lord do
+seem most nearly affected; he is partly, I believe, for me, and partly
+for himself.  So he advised me to wait presently upon my Lord, and clear
+myself in the most perfect manner I could, with all submission and
+assurance that I am his creature both in this and all other things; and
+that I do owne that all I have, is derived through my Lord Sandwich from
+his Lordship.  So, full of horror, I went, and found him busy in tryals
+of law in his great room; and it being Sitting-day, durst not stay, but
+went to my Lord and told him so: whereupon he directed me to take him
+after dinner; and so away I home, leaving my Lord mightily concerned for
+me.  I to the office, and there sat busy all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change, and from the 'Change over with Alsopp and the others to the
+Pope's Head tavern, and there staid a quarter of an hour, and concluded
+upon this, that in case I got them no more than 3s. per week per
+man I should have of them but L150 per ann., but to have it without any
+adventure or charge, but if I got them 3s. 2d., then they would give me
+L300 in the like manner.  So I directed them to draw up their tender in a
+line or two against the afternoon, and to meet me at White Hall.  So I
+left them, and I to my Lord Chancellor's; and there coming out after
+dinner I accosted him, telling him that I was the unhappy Pepys that had
+fallen into his high displeasure, and come to desire him to give me leave
+to make myself better understood to his Lordship, assuring him of my duty
+and service.  He answered me very pleasingly, that he was confident upon
+the score of my Lord Sandwich's character of me, but that he had reason
+to think what he did, and desired me to call upon him some evening: I
+named to-night, and he accepted of it.  So with my heart light I to White
+Hall, and there after understanding by a stratagem, and yet appearing
+wholly desirous not to understand Mr. Gauden's price when he desired to
+show it me, I went down and ordered matters in our tender so well that at
+the meeting by and by I was ready with Mr. Gauden's and his, both
+directed him a letter to me to give the board their two tenders, but
+there being none but the Generall Monk and Mr. Coventry and Povy and I,
+I did not think fit to expose them to view now, but put it off till
+Saturday, and so with good content rose.  Thence I to the Half Moone,
+against the 'Change, to acquaint Lanyon and his friends of our
+proceedings, and thence to my Lord Chancellor's, and there heard several
+tryals, wherein I perceive my Lord is a most able and ready man.  After
+all done, he himself called, "Come, Mr. Pepys, you and I will take a turn
+in the garden."  So he was led down stairs, having the goute, and there
+walked with me, I think, above an houre, talking most friendly, yet
+cunningly.  I told him clearly how things were; how ignorant I was of his
+Lordship's concernment in it; how I did not do nor say one word singly,
+but what was done was the act of the whole Board.  He told me by name
+that he was more angry with Sir G. Carteret than with me, and also with
+the whole body of the Board.  But thinking who it was of the Board that
+knew him least, he did place his fear upon me; but he finds that he is
+indebted to none of his friends there.  I think I did thoroughly appease
+him, till he thanked me for my desire and pains to satisfy him; and upon
+my desiring to be directed who I should of his servants advise with about
+this business, he told me nobody, but would be glad to hear from me
+himself.  He told me he would not direct me in any thing, that it might
+not be said that the Lord Chancellor did labour to abuse the King; or (as
+I offered) direct the suspending the Report of the Purveyors but I see
+what he means, and I will make it my worke to do him service in it.  But,
+Lord! to see how he is incensed against poor Deane, as a fanatique rogue,
+and I know not what: and what he did was done in spite to his Lordship,
+among all his friends and tenants.  He did plainly say that he would not
+direct me in any thing, for he would not put himself into the power of
+any man to say that he did so and so; but plainly told me as if he would
+be glad I did something.  Lord! to see how we poor wretches dare not do
+the King good service for fear of the greatness of these men.  He named
+Sir G. Carteret, and Sir J. Minnes, and the rest; and that he was as
+angry with them all as me.  But it was pleasant to think that, while he
+was talking to me, comes into the garden Sir G. Carteret; and my Lord
+avoided speaking with him, and made him and many others stay expecting
+him, while I walked up and down above an houre, I think; and would have
+me walk with my hat on.  And yet, after all this, there has been so
+little ground for this his jealousy of me, that I am sometimes afeard
+that he do this only in policy to bring me to his side by scaring me; or
+else, which is worse, to try how faithfull I would be to the King; but I
+rather think the former of the two.  I parted with great assurance how I
+acknowledged all I had to come from his Lordship; which he did not seem
+to refuse, but with great kindness and respect parted.  So I by coach
+home, calling at my Lord's, but he not within.  At my office late, and so
+home to eat something, being almost starved for want of eating my dinner
+to-day, and so to bed, my head being full of great and many businesses of
+import to me.
+
+
+
+15th.  Up, and to my Lord Sandwich's; where he sent for me up, and I did
+give my Lord an account of what had passed with my Lord Chancellor
+yesterday; with which he was well pleased, and advised me by all means to
+study in the best manner I could to serve him in this business.  After
+this discourse ended, he begun to tell me that he had now pitched upon
+his day of going to sea upon Monday next, and that he would now give me
+an account how matters are with him.  He told me that his work now in the
+world is only to keep up his interest at Court, having little hopes to
+get more considerably, he saying that he hath now about L8,000 per annum.
+It is true, he says, he oweth about L10,000; but he hath been at great
+charges in getting things to this pass in his estate; besides his
+building and good goods that he hath bought.  He says he hath now evened
+his reckonings at the Wardrobe till Michaelmas last, and hopes to finish
+it to Ladyday before he goes.  He says now there is due, too, L7,000 to
+him there, if he knew how to get it paid, besides L2000 that Mr. Montagu
+do owe him.  As to his interest, he says that he hath had all the injury
+done him that ever man could have by another bosom friend that knows all
+his secrets, by Mr. Montagu; but he says that the worst of it all is
+past, and he gone out and hated, his very person by the King, and he
+believes the more upon the score of his carriage to him; nay, that the
+Duke of Yorke did say a little while since in his closett, that he did
+hate him because of his ungratefull carriage to my Lord of Sandwich.  He
+says that he is as great with the Chancellor, or greater, than ever in
+his life.  That with the King he is the like; and told me an instance,
+that whereas he formerly was of the private council to the King before he
+was last sicke, and that by the sickness an interruption was made in his
+attendance upon him; the King did not constantly call him, as he used to
+do, to his private council, only in businesses of the sea and the like;
+but of late the King did send a message to him by Sir Harry Bennet, to
+excuse the King to my Lord that he had not of late sent for him as he
+used to do to his private council, for it was not out of any distaste,
+but to avoid giving offence to some others whom he did not name; but my
+Lord supposes it might be Prince Rupert, or it may be only that the King
+would rather pass it by an excuse, than be thought unkind: but that now
+he did desire him to attend him constantly, which of late he hath done,
+and the King never more kind to him in his life than now.  The Duke of
+Yorke, as much as is possible; and in the business of late, when I was to
+speak to my Lord about his going to sea, he says that he finds the Duke
+did it with the greatest ingenuity and love in the world; "and whereas,"
+says my Lord, "here is a wise man hard by that thinks himself so, and
+would be thought so, and it may be is in a degree so (naming by and by my
+Lord Crew), would have had me condition with him that neither Prince
+Rupert nor any body should come over his head, and I know not what."  The
+Duke himself hath caused in his commission, that he be made Admirall of
+this and what other ships or fleets shall hereafter be put out after
+these; which is very noble.  He tells me in these cases, and that of Mr.
+Montagu's, and all others, he finds that bearing of them patiently is his
+best way, without noise or trouble, and things wear out of themselves and
+come fair again.  But, says he, take it from me, never to trust too much
+to any man in the world, for you put yourself into his power; and the
+best seeming friend and real friend as to the present may have or take
+occasion to fall out with you, and then out comes all.  Then he told me
+of Sir Harry Bennet, though they were always kind, yet now it is become
+to an acquaintance and familiarity above ordinary, that for these months
+he hath done no business but with my Lord's advice in his chamber, and
+promises all faithfull love to him and service upon all occasions.  My
+Lord says, that he hath the advantage of being able by his experience to
+helpe and advise him; and he believes that that chiefly do invite Sir
+Harry to this manner of treating him.  "Now," says my Lord," the only and
+the greatest embarras that I have in the world is, how to behave myself
+to Sir H. Bennet and my Lord Chancellor, in case that there do lie any
+thing under the embers about my Lord Bristoll, which nobody can tell; for
+then," says he, "I must appear for one or other, and I will lose all I
+have in the world rather than desert my Lord Chancellor: so that," says
+he, "I know not for my life what to do in that case."  For Sir H.
+Bennet's love is come to the height, and his confidence, that he hath
+given my Lord a character, and will oblige my Lord to correspond with
+him.  "This," says he, "is the whole condition of my estate and interest;
+which I tell you, because I know not whether I shall see you again or
+no."  Then as to the voyage, he thinks it will be of charge to him, and
+no profit; but that he must not now look after nor think to encrease, but
+study to make good what he hath, that what is due to him from the
+Wardrobe or elsewhere may be paid, which otherwise would fail, and all a
+man hath be but small content to him.  So we seemed to take leave one of
+another; my Lord of me, desiring me that I would write to him and give
+him information upon all occasions in matters that concern him; which,
+put together with what he preambled with yesterday, makes me think that
+my Lord do truly esteem me still, and desires to preserve my service to
+him; which I do bless God for.  In the middle of our discourse my Lady
+Crew came in to bring my Lord word that he hath another son, my Lady
+being brought to bed just now, I did not think her time had been so nigh,
+but she's well brought to bed, for which God be praised!  and send my
+Lord to study the laying up of something the more!  Then with Creed to
+St. James's, and missing Mr. Coventry, to White Hall; where, staying for
+him in one of the galleries, there comes out of the chayre-room Mrs.
+Stewart, in a most lovely form, with her hair all about her eares, having
+her picture taking there.  There was the King and twenty more, I think,
+standing by all the while, and a lovely creature she in this dress seemed
+to be.  Thence to the 'Change by coach, and so home to dinner and then to
+my office.  In the evening Mr. Hill, Andrews and I to my chamber to sing,
+which we did very pleasantly, and then to my office again, where very
+late and so home, with my mind I bless God in good state of ease and body
+of health, only my head at this juncture very full of business, how to
+get something.  Among others what this rogue Creed will do before he goes
+to sea, for I would fain be rid of him and see what he means to do, for I
+will then declare myself his firm friend or enemy.
+
+
+
+16th.  Up in the morning, my head mightily confounded with the great
+deale of business I have upon me to do.  But to the office, and there
+dispatched Mr. Creed's business pretty well about his bill; but then
+there comes W. Howe for my Lord's bill of Imprest for L500 to carry with
+him this voyage, and so I was at a loss how to carry myself in it, Creed
+being there, but there being no help I delivered it to them both, and let
+them contend, when I perceive they did both endeavour to have it, but W.
+Howe took it, and the other had the discretion to suffer it.  But I think
+I cleared myself to Creed that it past not from any practice of mine.  At
+noon rose and did some necessary business at the 'Change.  Thence to
+Trinity House to a dinner which Sir G. Carteret makes there as Maister
+this year.  Thence to White Hall to the Tangier Committee, and there,
+above my expectation, got the business of our contract for the
+victualling carried for my people, viz., Alsopp, Lanyon, and Yeabsly; and
+by their promise I do thereby get L300 per annum to myself, which do
+overjoy me; and the matter is left to me to draw up.  Mr. Lewes was in
+the gallery and is mightily amazed at it, and I believe Mr. Gauden will
+make some stir about it, for he wrote to Mr. Coventry to-day about it to
+argue why he should for the King's convenience have it, but Mr. Coventry
+most justly did argue freely for them that served cheapest.  Thence
+walked a while with Mr. Coventry in the gallery, and first find that he
+is mighty cold in his present opinion of Mr. Peter Pett for his flagging
+and doing things so lazily there, and he did also surprise me with a
+question why Deane did not bring in their report of the timber of
+Clarendon.  What he means thereby I know not, but at present put him off;
+nor do I know how to steer myself: but I must think of it, and advise
+with my Lord Sandwich.  Thence with Creed by coach to my Lord Sandwich's,
+and there I got Mr. Moore to give me my Lord's hand for my receipt of
+L109 more of my money of Sir G. Carteret, so that then his debt to me
+will be under L500, I think.  This do ease my mind also.  Thence carried
+him and W. Howe into London, and set them down at Sir G. Carteret's to
+receive some money, and I home and there busy very late, and so home to
+supper and to bed, with my mind in pretty good ease, my business being in
+a pretty good condition every where.
+
+
+
+17th (Lord's day).  All the morning at my office doing business there, it
+raining hard.  So dined at home alone.  After dinner walked to my Lord's,
+and there found him and much other guests at table at dinner, and it
+seems they have christened his young son to-day-called him James.  I got
+a piece of cake.  I got my Lord to signe and seale my business about my
+selling of Brampton land, which though not so full as I would, yet is as
+full as I can at present.  Walked home again, and there fell to read, and
+by and by comes my uncle Wight, Dr. Burnett, and another gentleman, and
+talked and drank, and the Doctor showed me the manner of eating,
+turpentine, which pleases me well, for it is with great ease.  So they
+being gone, I to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+18th.  Up, and walked to my Lord's, and there took my leave of him, he
+seeming very friendly to me in as serious a manner as ever in his life,
+and I believe he is very confident of me.  He sets out this morning for
+Deale.  Thence to St. James's to the Duke, and there did our usual
+business.  He discourses very freely of a warr with Holland, to begin
+about winter, so that I believe we shall come to it.  Before we went up
+to the Duke, Sir G. Carteret and I did talk together in the Parke about
+my Lord Chancellor's business of the timber; he telling me freely that my
+Lord Chancellor was never so angry with him in all his life, as he was
+for this business, in great passion; and that when he saw me there, he
+knew what it was about.  And plots now with me how we may serve my Lord,
+which I am mightily glad of; and I hope together we may do it.  Thence to
+Westminster to my barber's, to have my Periwigg he lately made me
+cleansed of its nits, which vexed me cruelly that he should put such a
+thing into my hands.  Here meeting his mayd Jane, that has lived with
+them so long, I talked with her, and sending her of an errand to Dr.
+Clerk's, did meet her, and took her into a little alehouse in Brewers
+Yard, and there did sport with her, without any knowledge of her though,
+and a very pretty innocent girl she is.  Thence to my Lord Chancellor's,
+but he being busy I went away to the 'Change, and so home to dinner.  By
+and by comes Creed, and I out with him to Fleet Street, and he to Mr.
+Povy's, I to my Lord Chancellor's, and missing him again walked to
+Povy's, and there saw his new perspective in his closet.  Povy, to my
+great surprise and wonder, did here attacque me in his own and Mr.
+Bland's behalf that I should do for them both for the new contractors for
+the victualling of the garrison.  Which I am ashamed that he should ask
+of me, nor did I believe that he was a man that did seek benefit in such
+poor things.  Besides that he professed that he did not believe that I
+would have any hand myself in the contract, and yet here declares that he
+himself would have profit by it, and himself did move me that Sir W.
+Rider might join, and Ford with Gauden.  I told him I had no interest in
+them, but I fear they must do something to him, for he told me that those
+of the Mole did promise to consider him.  Thence home and Creed with me,
+and there he took occasion to owne his obligations to me, and did lay
+down twenty pieces in gold upon my shelf in my closett, which I did not
+refuse, but wish and expected should have been more.  But, however, this
+is better than nothing, and now I am out of expectation, and shall
+henceforward know how to deal with him.  After discourse of settling his
+matters here, we went out by coach, and he 'light at the Temple, and
+there took final leave of me, in order to his following my Lord
+to-morrow.  I to my Lord Chancellor, and discoursed his business with
+him.  I perceive, and he says plainly, that he will not have any man to
+have it in his power to say that my Lord Chancellor did contrive the
+wronging the King of his timber; but yet I perceive, he would be glad to
+have service done him therein; and told me Sir G. Carteret hath told him
+that he and I would look after his business to see it done in the best
+manner for him.  Of this I was glad, and so away.  Thence home, and late
+with my Tangier men about drawing up their agreement with us, wherein I
+find much trouble, and after doing as much as we could to-night, broke up
+and I to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  Up, and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  At noon
+dined alone at home.  After dinner Sir W. Batten and I down by water to
+Woolwich, where coming to the ropeyarde we are told that Mr. Falconer,
+who hath been ill of a relapse these two days, is just now dead.  We went
+up to his widow, who is sicke in bed also.  The poor woman in great
+sorrow, and entreats our friendship, which we shall, I think, in every
+thing do for her.  I am sure I will.  Thence to the Docke, and there in
+Sheldon's garden eat some fruit; so to Deptford a little, and thence
+home, it raining mightily, and being cold I doubted my health after it.
+At the office till 9 o'clock about Sir W. Warren's contract for masts,
+and then at home with Lanyon and Yeabsly till 12 and past about their
+contract for Tangier, wherein they and I differed, for I would have it
+drawn to the King's advantage, as much as might be, which they did not
+like, but parted good friends; however, when they were gone, I wished
+that I had forborne any disagreement till I had had their promise to me
+in writing.  They being gone, I to bed.
+
+
+
+20th.  Up, and a while to my office, and then home with Mr. Deane till
+dinner, discoursing upon the business of my Lord Chancellor's timber in
+Clarendon Parke, and how to make a report therein without offending him;
+which at last I drew up, and hope it will please him.  But I would to God
+neither I nor he ever had had any thing to have done with it!  Dined
+together with a good pig, and then out by coach to White Hall, to the
+Committee for Fishing; but nothing done, it being a great day to-day
+there upon drawing at the Lottery of Sir Arthur Slingsby.  I got in and
+stood by the two Queenes and the Duchesse of Yorke, and just behind my
+Lady Castlemayne, whom I do heartily adore; and good sport it was to see
+how most that did give their ten pounds did go away with a pair of globes
+only for their lot, and one gentlewoman, one Mrs. Fish, with the only
+blanke.  And one I staid to see drew a suit of hangings valued at L430,
+and they say are well worth the money, or near it.  One other suit there
+is better than that; but very many lots of three and fourscore pounds.  I
+observed the King and Queenes did get but as poor lots as any else.  But
+the wisest man I met with was Mr. Cholmley, who insured as many as would,
+from drawing of the one blank for 12d.; in which case there was the whole
+number of persons to one, which I think was three or four hundred.  And
+so he insured about 200 for 200 shillings, so that he could not have lost
+if one of them had drawn it, for there was enough to pay the L10; but it
+happened another drew it, and so he got all the money he took.  I left
+the lottery, and went to a play, only a piece of it, which was the Duke's
+house, "Worse and Worse;" just the same manner of play, and writ, I
+believe, by the same man as "The Adventures of Five Hours;" very pleasant
+it was, and I begin to admire Harris more than ever.  Thence to
+Westminster to see Creed, and he and I took a walk in the Parke.  He is
+ill, and not able yet to set out after my Lord, but will do to-morrow.
+So home, and late at my office, and so home to bed.  This evening being
+moonshine I played a little late upon my flageolette in the garden.  But
+being at Westminster Hall I met with great news that Mrs. Lane is married
+to one Martin, one that serves Captain Marsh.  She is gone abroad with
+him to-day, very fine.  I must have a bout with her very shortly to see
+how she finds marriage.
+
+
+
+21st.  Up, and to the office, where we sat all the morning, among other
+things making a contract with Sir W. Warren for almost 1000 Gottenburg
+masts, the biggest that ever was made in the Navy, and wholly of my
+compassing and a good one I hope it is for the King.  Dined at Sir W.
+Batten's, where I have not eat these many months.  Sir G. Carteret, Mr.
+Coventry, Sir J. Minnes, and myself there only, and my Lady.  A good
+venison pasty, and very merry, and pleasant I made myself with my Lady,
+and she as much to me.  This morning to the office comes Nicholas
+Osborne, Mr. Gauden's clerke, to desire of me what piece of plate I would
+choose to have a L100, or thereabouts, bestowed upon me in, he having
+order to lay out so much; and, out of his freedom with me, do of himself
+come to make this question.  I a great while urged my unwillingnesse to
+take any, not knowing how I could serve Mr. Gauden, but left it wholly to
+himself; so at noon I find brought home in fine leather cases, a pair of
+the noblest flaggons that ever I saw all the days of my life; whether I
+shall keepe them or no I cannot tell; for it is to oblige me to him in
+the business of the Tangier victualling, wherein I doubt I shall not; but
+glad I am to see that I shall be sure to get something on one side or
+other, have it which will: so, with a merry heart, I looked upon them,
+and locked them up.  After dinner to [give] my Lord Chancellor a good
+account of his business, and he is very well pleased therewith, and
+carries himself with great discretion to me, without seeming over glad or
+beholding to me; and yet I know that he do think himself very well served
+by me.  Thence to Westminster and to Mrs. Lane's lodgings, to give her
+joy, and there suffered me to deal with her as I hoped to do, and by and
+by her husband comes, a sorry, simple fellow, and his letter to her which
+she proudly showed me a simple, nonsensical thing.  A man of no
+discourse, and I fear married her to make a prize of, which he is
+mistaken in, and a sad wife I believe she will prove to him, for she
+urged me to appoint a time as soon as he is gone out of town to give her
+a meeting next week.  So by water with a couple of cozens of Mrs. Lane's,
+and set them down at Queenhive, and I through Bridge home, and there late
+at business, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up and to my office, where busy all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change, and so home to dinner, and then down by water to Deptford, where
+coming too soon, I spent an houre in looking round the yarde, and putting
+Mr. Shish
+
+     [Jonas Shish, master-shipwright at Deptford.  There are several
+     papers of his among the State Papers.  "I was at the funeral of old
+     Mr. Shish, Master Shipwright of His Majesty's Yard here, an honest
+     and remarkable man, and his death a public loss, for his excellent
+     success in building ships (though altogether illiterate) and for
+     bringing up so many of his children to be able artists.  I held up
+     the pall with three knights who did him that honour, and he was
+     worthy of it.  It was the custom of this good man to rise in the
+     night and pray, kneeling in his own coffin, which he had lying by
+     him for many years.  He was born that famous year, the Gunpowder-
+     plot, 1605" (Evelyn's "Diary," May 13th, 1680).]
+
+to measure a piece or two of timber, which he did most cruelly
+wrong, and to the King's losse 12 or 13s. in a piece of 28 feet in
+contents.  Thence to the Clerke of the Cheques, from whose house Mr.
+Falconer was buried to-day; Sir J. Minnes and I the only principal
+officers that were there.  We walked to church with him, and then I left
+them without staying the sermon and straight home by water, and there
+find, as I expected, Mr. Hill, and Andrews, and one slovenly and ugly
+fellow, Seignor Pedro, who sings Italian songs to the theorbo most
+neatly, and they spent the whole evening in singing the best piece of
+musique counted of all hands in the world, made by Seignor Charissimi,
+the famous master in Rome.  Fine it was, indeed, and too fine for me to
+judge of. They have spoke to Pedro to meet us every weeke, and I fear it
+will grow a trouble to me if we once come to bid judges to meet us,
+especially idle Masters, which do a little displease me to consider.
+They gone comes Mr. Lanyon, who tells me Mr. Alsopp is now become
+dangerously ill, and fears his re covery, covery, which shakes my
+expectation of;630o per annum by the business; and, therefore, bless God
+for what Mr. Gauden hath sent me, which, from some discourse to-day with
+Mr. Osborne, swearing that he knows not any thing of this business of
+the victualling; but, the contrary, that it is not that moves Mr. Gauden
+to send it me, for he hath had order for it any time these two months.
+Whether this be true or no, I know not; but I shall hence with the more
+confidence keepe it.  To supper and to the office a little, and to walk
+in the garden, the moon shining bright, and fine warm fair weather, and
+so home to bed.
+
+
+
+23rd.  Up, and all the morning at the office.  At noon to the 'Change,
+where I took occasion to break the business of my Lord Chancellor's
+timber to Mr. Coventry in the best manner I could.  He professed to me,
+that, till, Sir G. Carteret did speake of it at the table, after our
+officers were gone to survey it, he did not know that my Lord Chancellor
+had any thing to do with it; but now he says that he had been told by the
+Duke that Sir G. Carteret had spoke to him about it, and that he had told
+the Duke that, were he in my Lord Chancellor's case, if he were his
+father, he would rather fling away the gains of two or L3,000, than have
+it said that the timber, which should have been the King's, if it had
+continued the Duke of Albemarle's, was concealed by us in favour of my
+Lord Chancellor; for, says he, he is a great man, and all such as he, and
+he himself particularly, have a great many enemies that would be glad of
+such an advantage against him.  When I told him it was strange that Sir
+J. Minnes and Sir G. Carteret, that knew my Lord Chancellor's concernment
+therein, should not at first inform us, he answered me that for Sir J.
+Minnes, he is looked upon to be an old good companion, but by nobody at
+the other end of the towne as any man of business, and that my Lord
+Chancellor, he dares say, never did tell him of it, only Sir G. Carteret,
+he do believe, must needs know it, for he and Sir J. Shaw are the
+greatest confidants he hath in the world.  So for himself, he said, he
+would not mince the matter, but was resolved to do what was fit, and
+stand upon his owne legs therein, and that he would speak to the Duke,
+that he and Sir G. Carteret might be appointed to attend my Lord
+Chancellor in it.  All this disturbs me mightily.  I know not what to say
+to it, nor how to carry myself therein; for a compliance will discommend
+me to Mr. Coventry, and a discompliance to my Lord Chancellor.  But I
+think to let it alone, or at least meddle in it as little more as I can.
+From thence walked toward Westminster, and being in an idle and wanton
+humour, walked through Fleet Alley, and there stood a most pretty wench
+at one of the doors, so I took a turn or two, but what by sense of honour
+and conscience I would not go in, but much against my will took coach and
+away, and away to Westminster Hall, and there 'light of Mrs. Lane, and
+plotted with her to go over the water.  So met at White's stairs in
+Chanel Row, and over to the old house at Lambeth Marsh, and there eat and
+drank, and had my pleasure of her twice, she being the strangest woman in
+talk of love to her husband sometimes, and sometimes again she do not
+care for him, and yet willing enough to allow me a liberty of doing what
+I would with her.  So spending 5s. or 6s.  upon her, I could do what I
+would, and after an hour's stay and more back again and set her ashore
+there again, and I forward to Fleet Street, and called at Fleet Alley,
+not knowing how to command myself, and went in and there saw what
+formerly I have been acquainted with, the wickedness of these houses, and
+the forcing a man to present expense.  The woman indeed is a most lovely
+woman, but I had no courage to meddle with her for fear of her not being
+wholesome, and so counterfeiting that I had not money enough, it was
+pretty to see how cunning she was, would not suffer me to have to do in
+any manner with her after she saw I had no money, but told me then I
+would not come again, but she now was sure I would come again, but I hope
+in God I shall not, for though she be one of the prettiest women I ever
+saw, yet I fear her abusing me.  So desiring God to forgive me for this
+vanity, I went home, taking some books from my bookseller, and taking his
+lad home with me, to whom I paid L10 for books I have laid up money for,
+and laid out within these three weeks, and shall do no more a great while
+I hope.  So to my office writing letters, and then home and to bed, weary
+of the pleasure I have had to-day, and ashamed to think of it.
+
+
+
+24th (Lord's day).  Up, in some pain all day from yesterday's passages,
+having taken cold, I suppose.  So staid within all day reading of two or
+three good plays.  At night to my office a little, and so home, after
+supper to bed.
+
+
+
+25th.  Up, and with Sir J. Minnes and Sir W. Batten by coach to St.
+James's, but there the Duke being gone out we to my Lord Berkeley's
+chamber, Mr. Coventry being there, and among other things there met with
+a printed copy of the King's commission for the repair of Paul's, which
+is very large, and large power for collecting money, and recovering of
+all people that had bought or sold formerly any thing belonging to the
+Church.  And here I find my Lord Mayor of the City set in order before
+the Archbishopp or any nobleman, though all the greatest officers of
+state are there.  But yet I do not hear by my Lord Berkeley, who is one
+of them, that any thing is like to come of it.  Thence back again
+homewards, and Sir W. Batten and I to the Coffee-house, but no newes,
+only the plague is very hot still, and encreases among the Dutch.  Home
+to dinner, and after dinner walked forth, and do what I could I could not
+keep myself from going through Fleet Lane, but had the sense of safety
+and honour not to go in, and the rather being a holiday I feared I might
+meet with some people that might know me.  Thence to Charing Cross, and
+there called at Unthanke's to see what I owed, but found nothing, and
+here being a couple of pretty ladies, lodgers in the kitchen, I staid a
+little there.  Thence to my barber Gervas, who this day buries his child,
+which it seems was born without a passage behind, so that it never voided
+any thing in the week or fortnight that it has been born.  Thence to Mr.
+Reeves, it coming just now in my head to buy a microscope, but he was not
+within, so I walked all round that end of the town among the loathsome
+people and houses, but, God be thanked!  had no desire to visit any of
+them.  So home, where I met Mr. Lanyon, who tells me Mr. Alsop is past
+hopes, which will mightily disappoint me in my hopes there, and yet it
+may be not.  I shall think whether it will be safe for me to venture
+myself or no, and come in as an adventurer.  He gone, Mr. Cole (my
+old Jack Cole) comes to see and speak with me, and his errand in short to
+tell me that he is giving over his trade; he can do no good in it, and
+will turn what he has into money and go to sea, his father being dead and
+leaving him little, if any thing.  This I was sorry to hear, he being a
+man of good parts, but, I fear, debauched.  I promised him all the
+friendship I can do him, which will end in little, though I truly mean
+it, and so I made him stay with me till 11 at night, talking of old
+school stories, and very pleasing ones, and truly I find that we did
+spend our time and thoughts then otherwise than I think boys do now, and
+I think as well as methinks that the best are now.  He supped with me,
+and so away, and I to bed.  And strange to see how we are all divided
+that were bred so long at school together, and what various fortunes we
+have run, some good, some bad.
+
+
+
+26th.  All the morning at the office, at noon to Anthony Joyce's, to our
+gossip's dinner.  I had sent a dozen and a half of bottles of wine
+thither, and paid my double share besides, which is 18s.  Very merry we
+were, and when the women were merry and rose from table, I above with
+them, ne'er a man but I, I began discourse of my not getting of children,
+and prayed them to give me their opinions and advice, and they freely and
+merrily did give me these ten, among them (1) Do not hug my wife too hard
+nor too much; (2) eat no late suppers; (3) drink juyce of sage; (4) tent
+and toast; (5) wear cool holland drawers; (6) keep stomach warm and back
+cool; (7) upon query whether it was best to do at night or morn, they
+answered me neither one nor other, but when we had most mind to it; (8)
+wife not to go too straight laced; (9) myself to drink mum and sugar;
+(10) Mrs. Ward did give me, to change my place.  The 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th,
+and 10th they all did seriously declare, and lay much stress upon them as
+rules fit to be observed indeed, and especially the last, to lie with our
+heads where our heels do, or at least to make the bed high at feet and
+low at head.  Very merry all, as much as I could be in such sorry
+company.  Great discourse of the fray yesterday in Moorefields, how the
+butchers at first did beat the weavers (between whom there hath been ever
+an old competition for mastery), but at last the weavers rallied and beat
+them.  At first the butchers knocked down all for weavers that had green
+or blue aprons, till they were fain to pull them off and put them in
+their breeches.  At last the butchers were fain to pull off their
+sleeves, that they might not be known, and were soundly beaten out of the
+field, and some deeply wounded and bruised; till at last the weavers went
+out tryumphing, calling L100 for a butcher.  I to Mr. Reeves to see a
+microscope, he having been with me to-day morning, and there chose one
+which I will have.  Thence back and took up young Mrs. Harman, a pretty
+bred and pretty humoured woman whom I could love well, though not
+handsome, yet for her person and carriage, and black.  By the way met her
+husband going for her, and set them both down at home, and so home to my
+office a while, and so to supper and bed.
+
+
+
+27th.  Up, and after some discourse with Mr. Duke, who is to be Secretary
+to the Fishery, and is now Secretary to the Committee for Trade, who I
+find a very ingenious man, I went to Mr. Povy's, and there heard a little
+of his empty discourse, and fain he would have Mr. Gauden been the
+victualler for Tangier, which none but a fool would say to me when he
+knows he hath made it his request to me to get him something of these men
+that now do it.  Thence to St. James's, but Mr. Coventry being ill and in
+bed I did not stay, but to White Hall a little, walked up and down, and
+so home to fit papers against this afternoon, and after dinner to the
+'Change a little, and then to White Hall, where anon the Duke of Yorke
+came, and a Committee we had of Tangier, where I read over my rough
+draught of the contract for Tangier victualling, and acquainted them with
+the death of Mr. Alsopp, which Mr. Lanyon had told me this morning, which
+is a sad consideration to see how uncertain a thing our lives are, and
+how little to be presumed of in our greatest undertakings.  The words of
+the contract approved of, and I home and there came Mr. Lanyon to me and
+brought my neighbour, Mr. Andrews, to me, whom he proposes for his
+partner in the room of Mr. Alsopp, and I like well enough of it.  We read
+over the contract together, and discoursed it well over and so parted,
+and I am glad to see it once over in this condition again, for Mr. Lanyon
+and I had some discourse to-day about my share in it, and I hope if it
+goes on to have my first hopes of L300 per ann.  They gone, I to supper
+and to bed.  This afternoon came my great store of Coles in, being to
+Chaldron, so that I may see how long they will last me.
+
+
+
+28th.  At the office all the morning, dined, after 'Change, at home, and
+then abroad, and seeing "The Bondman"  upon the posts, I consulted my
+oaths and find I may go safely this time without breaking it; I went
+thither, notwithstanding my great desire to have gone to Fleet Alley,
+God forgive me, again.  There I saw it acted.  It is true, for want of
+practice, they had many of them forgot their parts a little; but
+Betterton and my poor Ianthe outdo all the world.  There is nothing more
+taking in the world with me than that play.  Thence to Westminster to my
+barber's, and strange to think how when I find that Jervas himself did
+intend to bring home my periwigg, and not Jane his maid, I did desire not
+to have it at all, for I had a mind to have her bring it home.  I also
+went to Mr. Blagrave's about speaking to him for his kinswoman to come
+live with my wife, but they are not come to town, and so I home by coach
+and to my office, and then to supper and to bed.  My present posture is
+thus: my wife in the country and my mayde Besse with her and all quiett
+there.  I am endeavouring to find a woman for her to my mind, and above
+all one that understands musique, especially singing.  I am the willinger
+to keepe one because I am in good hopes to get 2 or L300 per annum
+extraordinary by the business of the victualling of Tangier, and yet Mr.
+Alsopp, my chief hopes, is dead since my looking after it, and now Mr.
+Lanyon, I fear, is, falling sicke too.  I am pretty well in health, only
+subject to wind upon any cold, and then immediate and great pains.  All
+our discourse is of a Dutch warr and I find it is likely to come to it,
+for they are very high and desire not to compliment us at all, as far as
+I hear, but to send a good fleete to Guinny to oppose us there.  My Lord
+Sandwich newly gone to sea, and I, I think, fallen into his very good
+opinion again, at least he did before his going, and by his letter since,
+show me all manner of respect and confidence.  I am over-joyed in hopes
+that upon this month's account I shall find myself worth L1000, besides
+the rich present of two silver and gilt flaggons which Mr. Gauden did
+give me the other day.  I do now live very prettily at home, being most
+seriously, quietly, and neatly served by my two mayds Jane and the girle
+Su, with both of whom I am mightily well pleased.  My greatest trouble is
+the settling of Brampton Estate, that I may know what to expect, and how
+to be able to leave it when I die, so as to be just to my promise to my
+uncle Thomas and his son.  The next thing is this cursed trouble my
+brother Tom is likely to put us to by his death, forcing us to law with
+his creditors, among others Dr. Tom Pepys, and that with some shame as
+trouble, and the last how to know in what manner as to saving or spending
+my father lives, lest they should run me in debt as one of my uncle's
+executors, and I never the wiser nor better for it.  But in all this I
+hope shortly to be at leisure to consider and inform myself well.
+
+
+
+29th.  At the office all the morning dispatching of business, at noon to
+the 'Change after dinner, and thence to Tom Trice about Dr. Pepys's
+business, and thence it raining turned into Fleet Alley, and there was
+with Cocke an hour or so.  The jade, whether I would not give her money
+or not enough; she would not offer to invite to do anything, but on the
+contrary saying she had no time, which I was glad of, for I had no mind
+to meddle with her, but had my end to see what a cunning jade she was, to
+see her impudent tricks and ways of getting money and raising the
+reckoning by still calling for things, that it come to 6 or 7 shillings
+presently.  So away home, glad I escaped without any inconvenience, and
+there came Mr. Hill, Andrews and Seignor Pedro, and great store of
+musique we had, but I begin to be weary of having a master with us, for
+it spoils, methinks, the ingenuity of our practice.  After they were gone
+comes Mr. Bland to me, sat till 11 at night with me, talking of the
+garrison of Tangier and serving them with pieces of eight.  A mind he
+hath to be employed there, but dares not desire any courtesy of me, and
+yet would fain engage me to be for him, for I perceive they do all find
+that I am the busy man to see the King have right done him by inquiring
+out other bidders.  Being quite tired with him, I got him gone, and so to
+bed.
+
+
+
+30th.  All the morning at the office; at noon to the 'Change, where great
+talke of a rich present brought by an East India ship from some of the
+Princes of India, worth to the King L70,000 in two precious stones.
+After dinner to the office, and there all the afternoon making an end of
+several things against the end of the month, that I may clear all my
+reckonings tomorrow; also this afternoon, with great content, I finished
+the contracts for victualling of Tangier with Mr. Lanyon and the rest,
+and to my comfort got him and Andrews to sign to the giving me L300 per
+annum, by which, at least, I hope to be a L100 or two the better.  Wrote
+many letters by the post to ease my mind of business and to clear my
+paper of minutes, as I did lately oblige myself to clear every thing
+against the end of the month.  So at night with my mind quiet and
+contented to bed.  This day I sent a side of venison and six bottles of
+wine to Kate Joyce.
+
+
+
+31st (Lord's day).  Up, and to church, where I have not been these many
+weeks.  So home, and thither, inviting him yesterday, comes Mr. Hill, at
+which I was a little troubled, but made up all very well, carrying him
+with me to Sir J. Minnes, where I was invited and all our families to a
+venison pasty.  Here good cheer and good discourse.  After dinner Mr.
+Hill and I to my house, and there to musique all the afternoon.  He being
+gone, in the evening I to my accounts, and to my great joy and with great
+thanks to Almighty God, I do find myself most clearly worth L1014, the
+first time that ever I was worth L1000 before, which is the height of all
+that ever I have for a long time pretended to.  But by the blessing of
+God upon my care I hope to lay up something more in a little time, if
+this business of the victualling of Tangier goes on as I hope it will.
+So with praise to God for this state of fortune that I am brought to as
+to wealth, and my condition being as I have at large set it down two days
+ago in this book, I home to supper and to bed, desiring God to give me
+the grace to make good use of what I have and continue my care and
+diligence to gain more.
