+
+October 1st.  Up and at the office both forenoon and afternoon very busy,
+and with great pleasure in being so.  This morning Mrs. Lane (now Martin)
+like a foolish woman, came to the Horseshoe hard by, and sent for me while
+I was: at the office; to come to speak with her by a note sealed up, I
+know to get me to do something for her husband, but I sent her an answer
+that I would see her at Westminster, and so I did not go, and she went
+away, poor soul.  At night home to supper, weary, and my eyes sore with
+writing and reading, and to bed.  We go now on with great vigour in
+preparing against the Dutch, who, they say, will now fall upon us without
+doubt upon this high newes come of our beating them so, wholly in Guinny.
+
+2nd (Lord's day).  My wife not being well to go to church I walked with my
+boy through the City, putting in at several churches, among others at
+Bishopsgate, and there saw the picture usually put before the King's book,
+put up in the church, but very ill painted, though it were a pretty piece
+to set up in a church.  I intended to have seen the Quakers, who, they
+say, do meet every Lord's day at the Mouth at Bishopsgate; but I could see
+none stirring, nor was it fit to aske for the place, so I walked over
+Moorefields, and thence to Clerkenwell church, and there, as I wished, sat
+next pew to the fair Butler, who indeed is a most perfect beauty still;
+and one I do very much admire myself for my choice of her for a beauty,
+she having the best lower part of her face that ever I saw all days of my
+life.  After church I walked to my Lady Sandwich's, through my Lord
+Southampton's new buildings in the fields behind Gray's Inn; and, indeed,
+they are a very great and a noble work.  So I dined with my Lady, and the
+same innocent discourse that we used to have, only after dinner, being
+alone, she asked me my opinion about Creed, whether he would have a wife
+or no, and what he was worth, and proposed Mrs. Wright for him, which, she
+says, she heard he was once inquiring after.  She desired I would take a
+good time and manner of proposing it, and I said I would, though I
+believed he would love nothing but money, and much was not to be expected
+there, she said.  So away back to Clerkenwell Church, thinking to have got
+sight of la belle Boteler again, but failed, and so after church walked
+all over the fields home, and there my wife was angry with me for not
+coming home, and for gadding abroad to look after beauties, she told me
+plainly, so I made all peace, and to supper.  This evening came Mrs. Lane
+(now Martin) with her husband to desire my helpe about a place for him.
+It seems poor Mr. Daniel is dead of the Victualling Office, a place too
+good for this puppy to follow him in.  But I did give him the best words I
+could, and so after drinking a glasse of wine sent them going, but with
+great kindnesse.  Go to supper, prayers, and to bed.
+
+3rd.  Up with Sir J. Minnes, by coach, to St. James's; and there all the
+newes now of very hot preparations for the Dutch: and being with the Duke,
+he told us he was resolved to make a tripp himself, and that Sir W. Pen
+should go in the same ship with him.  Which honour, God forgive me! I
+could grudge him, for his knavery and dissimulation, though I do not envy
+much the having the same place myself.  Talke also of great haste in the
+getting out another fleete, and building some ships; and now it is likely
+we have put one another by each other's dalliance past a retreate. Thence
+with our heads full of business we broke up, and I to my barber's, and
+there only saw Jane and stroked her under the chin, and away to the
+Exchange, and there long about several businesses, hoping to get money by
+them, and thence home to dinner and there found Hawly. But meeting
+Bagwell's wife at the office before I went home I took her into the office
+and there kissed her only.  She rebuked me for doing it, saying that did I
+do so much to many bodies else it would be a stain to me.  But I do not
+see but she takes it well enough, though in the main I believe she is very
+honest. So after some kind discourse we parted, and I home to dinner, and
+after dinner down to Deptford, where I found Mr. Coventry, and there we
+made, an experiment of Holland's and our cordage, and ours outdid it a
+great deale, as my book of observations tells particularly. Here we were
+late, and so home together by water, and I to my office, where late,
+putting things in order.  Mr. Bland came this night to me to take his
+leave of me, he going to Tangier, wherein I wish him good successe.  So
+home to supper and to bed, my mind troubled at the businesses I have to
+do, that I cannot mind them as I ought to do and get money, and more that
+I have neglected my frequenting and seeming more busy publicly than I have
+done of late in this hurry of business, but there is time left to recover
+it, and I trust in God I shall.
+
+4th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and this morning
+Sir W. Pen went to Chatham to look: after the ships now going out thence,
+and particularly that wherein the Duke and himself go.  He took Sir G.
+Ascue with: him, whom, I believe, he hath brought into play.  At noon to
+the 'Change and thence home, where I found my aunt James and the two she
+joyces.  They dined and were merry with us.  Thence after dinner to a
+play, to see "The Generall;" which is so dull and so ill-acted, that I
+think it is the worst.  I ever saw or heard in all my days.  I happened to
+sit near; to Sir Charles Sidly; who I find a very witty man, and he did at
+every line take notice of the dullness of the poet and badness of the
+action, that most pertinently; which I was mightily taken with; and among
+others where by Altemire's command Clarimont, the Generall, is commanded
+to rescue his Rivall, whom she loved, Lucidor, he, after a great deal of
+demurre, broke out; "Well, I'le save my Rivall and make her confess, that
+I deserve, while he do but possesse."  "Why, what, pox," says Sir Charles
+Sydly, "would he have him have more, or what is there more to be had of a
+woman than the possessing her?"  Thence-setting all them at home, I home
+with my wife and Mercer, vexed at my losing my time and above 20s. in
+money, and neglecting my business to see so bad a play. To-morrow they
+told us should be acted, or the day after, a new play, called "The
+Parson's Dreame," acted all by women.  So to my office, and there did
+business; and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+5th.  Up betimes and to my office, and thence by coach to New Bridewell to
+meet with Mr. Poyntz to discourse with him (being Master of the Workhouse
+there) about making of Bewpers for us.  But he was not within; however his
+clerke did lead me up and down through all the house, and there I did with
+great pleasure see the many pretty works, and the little children
+employed, every one to do something, which was a very fine sight, and
+worthy encouragement.  I cast away a crowne among them, and so to the
+'Change and among the Linnen Wholesale Drapers to enquire about Callicos,
+to see what can be done with them for the supplying our want of Bewpers
+for flaggs, and I think I shall do something therein to good purpose for
+the King.  So to the Coffeehouse, and there fell in discourse with the
+Secretary of the Virtuosi of Gresham College, and had very fine discourse
+with him.  He tells me of a new invented instrument to be tried before the
+College anon, and I intend to see it.  So to Trinity House, and there I
+dined among the old dull fellows, and so home and to my office a while,
+and then comes Mr. Cocker to see me, and I discoursed with him about his
+writing and ability of sight, and how I shall do to get some glasse or
+other to helpe my eyes by candlelight; and he tells me he will bring me
+the helps he hath within a day or two, and shew me what he do.  Thence to
+the Musique-meeting at the Postoffice, where I was once before.  And
+thither anon come all the Gresham College, and a great deal of noble
+company: and the new instrument was brought called the Arched Viall,
+
+     ["There seems to be a curious fate reigning over the instruments
+     which have the word 'arch' prefixed to their name.  They have no
+     vitality, and somehow or other come to grief.  Even the famous
+     archlute, which was still a living thing in the time of Handel, has
+     now disappeared from the concert room and joined Mr. Pepys's 'Arched
+     Viall' in the limbo of things forgotten .  .  .  .  Mr. Pepys's
+     verdict that it would never do .  .  .  has been fully confirmed by
+     the event, as his predictions usually were, being indeed always
+     founded on calm judgment and close observation."--B. (Hueffer's
+     Italian and other Studies, 1883, p.  263).]
+
+where being tuned with lute-strings, and played on with kees like an
+organ, a piece of parchment is always kept moving; and the strings, which
+by the kees are pressed down upon it, are grated in imitation of a bow, by
+the parchment; and so it is intended to resemble several vyalls played on
+with one bow, but so basely and harshly, that it will never do.  But after
+three hours' stay it could not be fixed in tune; and so they were fain to
+go to some other musique of instruments, which I am grown quite out of
+love with, and so I, after some good discourse with Mr. Spong, Hill,
+Grant, and Dr. Whistler, and others by turns, I home to my office and
+there late, and so home, where I understand my wife has spoke to Jane and
+ended matters of difference between her and her, and she stays with us,
+which I am glad of; for her fault is nothing but sleepiness and
+forgetfulness, otherwise a good-natured, quiet, well-meaning, honest
+servant, and one that will do as she is bid, so one called upon her and
+will see her do it.  This morning, by three o'clock, the
+Prince--[Rupert]--and King, and Duke with him, went down the River, and
+the Prince under sail the next tide after, and so is gone from the Hope.
+God give him better successe than he used to have!  This day Mr. Bland
+went away hence towards his voyage to Tangier.  This day also I had a
+letter from an unknown hand that tells me that Jacke Angier, he believes,
+is dead at Lisbon, for he left him there ill.
+
+6th.  Up and to the office, where busy all the morning, among other things
+about this of the flags and my bringing in of callicos to oppose Young and
+Whistler.  At noon by promise Mr. Pierce and his wife and Madam Clerke and
+her niece came and dined with me to a rare chine of beefe and spent the
+afternoon very pleasantly all the afternoon, and then to my office in the
+evening, they being gone, and late at business, and then home to supper
+and to bed, my mind coming to itself in following of my business.
+
+7th.  Lay pretty while with some discontent abed, even to the having bad
+words with my wife, and blows too, about the ill-serving up of our
+victuals yesterday; but all ended in love, and so I rose and to my office
+busy all the morning.  At noon dined at home, and then to my office again,
+and then abroad to look after callicos for flags, and hope to get a small
+matter by my pains therein and yet save the King a great deal of money,
+and so home to my office, and there came Mr. Cocker, and brought me a
+globe of glasse, and a frame of oyled paper, as I desired, to show me the
+manner of his gaining light to grave by, and to lessen the glaringnesse of
+it at pleasure by an oyled paper.  This I bought of him, giving him a
+crowne for it; and so, well satisfied, he went away, and I to my business
+again, and so home to supper, prayers, and to bed.
+
+8th.  All the morning at the office, and after dinner abroad, and among
+other things contracted with one Mr. Bridges, at the White Bear on
+Cornhill, for 100 pieces of Callico to make flaggs; and as I know I shall
+save the King money, so I hope to get a little for my pains and venture of
+my own money myself.  Late in the evening doing business, and then comes
+Captain Tayler, and he and I till 12 o'clock at night arguing about the
+freight of his ship Eagle, hired formerly by me to Tangier, and at last we
+made an end, and I hope to get a little money, some small matter by it.
+So home to bed, being weary and cold, but contented that I have made an
+end of that business.
+
+9th (Lord's day).  Lay pretty long, but however up time enough with my
+wife to go to church.  Then home to dinner, and Mr. Fuller, my Cambridge
+acquaintance, coming to me about what he was with me lately, to release a
+waterman, he told me he was to preach at Barking Church; and so I to heare
+him, and he preached well and neatly.  Thence, it being time enough, to
+our owne church, and there staid wholly privately at the great doore to
+gaze upon a pretty lady, and from church dogged her home, whither she went
+to a house near Tower hill, and I think her to be one of the prettiest
+women I ever saw.  So home, and at my office a while busy, then to my
+uncle Wight's, whither it seems my wife went after sermon and there
+supped, but my aunt and uncle in a very ill humour one with another, but I
+made shift with much ado to keep them from scolding, and so after supper
+home and to bed without prayers, it being cold, and to-morrow washing day.
+
+10th.  Up and, it being rainy, in Sir W. Pen's coach to St. James's, and
+there did our usual business with the Duke, and more and more preparations
+every day appear against the Dutch, and (which I must confess do a little
+move my envy) Sir W. Pen do grow every day more and more regarded by the
+Duke,
+
+     ["The duke had decided that the English fleet should consist of
+     three  squadrons to be commanded by himself, Prince Rupert, and Lord
+     Sandwich, from which arrangement the two last, who were land
+     admirals; had concluded that Penn would have no concern in this
+     fleet.  Neither the duke, Rupert, nor Sandwich had ever been engaged
+     in an encounter of fleets .  .  .  .  Penn alone of the four was
+     familiar with all these things.  By the duke's unexpected
+     announcement that he should take Penn with him into his own  ship,
+     Rupert and Sandwich at once discovered that they would be really and
+     practically under Penn's command in everything."]
+
+because of his service heretofore in the Dutch warr which I am confident
+is by some strong obligations he hath laid upon Mr. Coventry; for Mr.
+Coventry must needs know that he is a man of very mean parts, but only a
+bred seaman: Going home in coach with Sir W. Batten he told me how Sir J.
+Minnes by the means of Sir R. Ford was the last night brought to his house
+and did discover the reason of his so long discontent with him, and now
+they are friends again, which I am sorry for, but he told it me so plainly
+that I see there is no thorough understanding between them, nor love, and
+so I hope there will be no great combination in any thing, nor do I see
+Sir J. Minnes very fond as he used to be.  But: Sir W. Batten do raffle
+still against Mr. Turner and his wife, telling me he is a false fellow,
+and his wife a false woman, and has rotten teeth and false, set in with
+wire, and as I know they are so, so I am glad he finds it so.  To the
+Coffee-house, and thence to the 'Change, and therewith Sir W. Warren to
+the Coffee-house behind the 'Change, and sat alone with him till 4 o'clock
+talking of his businesses first and then of business in general, and
+discourse how I might get money and how to carry myself to advantage to
+contract no envy and yet make the world see my pains; which was with great
+content to me, and a good friend and helpe I am like to find him, for
+which God be thanked!  So home to dinner at 4 o'clock, and then to the
+office, and there late, and so home to supper and to bed, having sat up
+till past twelve at night to look over the account of the collections for
+the Fishery, and the loose and base manner that monies so collected are
+disposed of in, would make a man never part with a penny in that manner,
+and, above all, the inconvenience of having a great man, though never so
+seeming pious as my Lord Pembroke is.  He is too great to be called to an
+account, and is abused by his servants, and yet obliged to defend them for
+his owne sake.  This day, by the blessing of God, my wife and I have been
+married nine years: but my head being full of business, I did not think of
+it to keep it in any extraordinary manner.  But bless God for our long
+lives and loves and health together, which the same God long continue, I
+wish, from my very heart!
+
+11th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  My wife this
+morning went, being invited, to my Lady Sandwich, and I alone at home at
+dinner, till by and by Luellin comes and dines with me.  He tells me what
+a bawdy loose play this "Parson's Wedding" is, that is acted by nothing
+but women at the King's house, and I am glad of it.  Thence to the Fishery
+in Thames Street, and there several good discourses about the letting of
+the Lotterys, and, among others, one Sir Thomas Clifford, whom yet I knew
+not, do speak very well and neatly.  Thence I to my cozen Will Joyce to
+get him to go to Brampton with me this week, but I think he will not, and
+I am not a whit sorry for it, for his company both chargeable and
+troublesome.  So home and to my office, and then to supper and then to my
+office again till late, and so home, with my head and heart full of
+business, and so to bed.  My wife tells me the sad news of my Lady
+Castlemayne's being now become so decayed, that one would not know her; at
+least far from a beauty, which I am sorry for.  This day with great joy
+Captain Titus told us the particulars of the French's expedition against
+Gigery upon the Barbary Coast, in the Straights, with 6,000 chosen men.
+They have taken the Fort of Gigery, wherein were five men and three guns,
+which makes the whole story of the King of France's policy and power to be
+laughed at.
+
+12th.  This morning all the morning at my office ordering things against
+my journey to-morrow.  At noon to the Coffeehouse, where very good
+discourse.  For newes, all say De Ruyter is gone to Guinny before us. Sir
+J. Lawson is come to Portsmouth; and our fleete is hastening all speed: I
+mean this new fleete. Prince Rupert with his is got into the Downes.  At
+home dined with me W. Joyce and a friend of his.  W. Joyce will go with me
+to Brampton.  After dinner I out to Mr. Bridges, the linnen draper, and
+evened with (him) for 100 pieces of callico, and did give him L208 18s.,
+which I now trust the King for, but hope both to save the King money and
+to get a little by it to boot.  Thence by water up and down all the timber
+yards to look out some Dram timber, but can find none for our turne at the
+price I would have; and so I home, and there at my office late doing
+business against my journey to clear my hands of every thing for two days.
+So home and to supper and bed.
+
+13th.  After being at the office all the morning, I home and dined, and
+taking leave of my wife with my mind not a little troubled how she would
+look after herself or house in my absence, especially, too, leaving a
+considerable sum of money in the office, I by coach to the Red Lyon in
+Aldersgate Street, and there, by agreement, met W. Joyce and Tom Trice,
+and mounted, I upon a very fine mare that Sir W. Warren helps me to, and
+so very merrily rode till it was very darke, I leading the way through the
+darke to Welling, and there, not being very weary, to supper and to bed.
+But very bad accommodation at the Swan.  In this day's journey I met with
+Mr. White, Cromwell's chaplin that was, and had a great deale of discourse
+with him.  Among others, he tells me that Richard is, and hath long been,
+in France, and is now going into Italy.  He owns publiquely that he do
+correspond, and return him all his money.  That Richard hath been in some
+straits at the beginning; but relieved by his friends.  That he goes by
+another name, but do not disguise himself, nor deny himself to any man
+that challenges him.  He tells me, for certain, that offers had been made
+to the old man, of marriage between the King and his daughter, to have
+obliged him, but he would not.
+
+     [The Protector wished the Duke of Buckingham to marry his daughter
+     Frances.  She married, 1. Robert Rich, grandson and heir to Robert,
+     Earl of Warwick, on November 11th, 1657, who died in the following
+     February;  2. Sir John Russell, Bart.  She died January 27th,
+     1721-22, aged eighty-four. In T. Morrice's life of Roger, Earl of
+     Orrery, prefixed to Orrery's "State Letters" (Dublin, 1743, vol.
+     i., p. 40), there is a circumstantial account of an interview
+     between Orrery (then Lord Broghill) and Cromwell, in which the
+     former suggested to the latter that Charles II. should marry Frances
+     Cromwell.  Cromwell gave great attention to the reasons urged, "but
+     walking two or three turns, and pondering with himself, he told Lord
+     Broghill the king would never forgive him the death of his father.
+     His lordship desired him to employ somebody to sound the king in
+     this matter, to see how he would take it, and offered himself to
+     mediate in it for him. But Cromwell would not consent, but again
+     repeated, 'The king cannot and will not forgive the death of his
+     father;' and so he left his lordship, who durst not tell him he had
+     already dealt with his majesty in that affair.  Upon this my lord
+     withdrew, and meeting Cromwell's wife and daughter, they inquired
+     how he had succeeded; of which having given them an account, he
+     added they must try their interest in him, but none could prevail."]
+
+He thinks (with me) that it never was in his power to bring in the King
+with the consent of any of his officers about him; and that he scorned to
+bring him in as Monk did, to secure himself and deliver every body else.
+When I told him of what I found writ in a French book of one Monsieur
+Sorbiere, that gives an account of his observations herein England; among
+other things he says, that it is reported that Cromwell did, in his
+life-time, transpose many of the bodies of the Kings of England from one
+grave to another, and that by that means it is not known certainly whether
+the head that is now set up upon a post be that of Cromwell, or of one of
+the Kings; Mr. White tells me that he believes he never had so poor a low
+thought in him to trouble himself about it.  He says the hand of God is
+much to be seen; that all his children are in good condition enough as to
+estate, and that their relations that betrayed their family are all now
+either hanged or very miserable.
+
+14th.  Up by break of day, and got to Brampton by three o'clock, where my
+father and mother overjoyed to see me, my mother, ready to weepe every
+time she looked upon me.  After dinner my father and I to the Court, and
+there did all our business to my mind, as I have set down in a paper
+particularly expressing our proceedings at this court.  So home, where W.
+Joyce full of talk and pleased with his journey, and after supper I to bed
+and left my father, mother, and him laughing.
+
+15th.  My father and I up and walked alone to Hinchingbroke; and among the
+other late chargeable works that my Lord hath done there, we saw his
+water-works and the Oral which is very fine; and so is the house all over,
+but I am sorry to think of the money at this time spent therein. Back to
+my father's (Mr. Sheply being out of town) and there breakfasted, after
+making an end with Barton about his businesses, and then my mother called
+me into the garden, and there but all to no purpose desiring me to be
+friends with John, but I told her I cannot, nor indeed easily shall, which
+afflicted the poor woman, but I cannot help it.  Then taking leave, W.
+Joyce and I set out, calling T. Trice at Bugden, and thence got by night
+to Stevenage, and there mighty merry, though I in bed more weary than the
+other two days, which, I think, proceeded from our galloping so much, my
+other weariness being almost all over; but I find that a coney skin in my
+breeches preserves me perfectly from galling, and that eating after I come
+to my Inne, without drinking, do keep me from being stomach sick, which
+drink do presently make me.  We lay all in several beds in the same room,
+and W. Joyce full of his impertinent tricks and talk, which then made us
+merry, as any other fool would have done.  So to sleep.
+
+16th (Lord's day).  It raining, we set out, and about nine o'clock got to
+Hatfield in church-time; and I 'light and saw my simple Lord Salsbury sit
+there in his gallery.  Staid not in the Church, but thence mounted again
+and to Barnett by the end of sermon, and there dined at the Red Lyon very
+weary again, but all my weariness yesterday night and to-day in my thighs
+only, the rest of my weariness in my shoulders and arms being quite gone.
+Thence home, parting company at my cozen Anth. Joyce's, by four o'clock,
+weary, but very well, to bed at home, where I find all well.  Anon my wife
+came to bed, but for my ease rose again and lay with her woman.
+
+17th.  Rose very well and not weary, and with Sir W. Batten to St.
+James's; there did our business.  I saw Sir J. Lawson since his return
+from sea first this morning, and hear that my Lord Sandwich is come from
+Portsmouth to town. Thence I to him, and finding him at my Lord Crew's, I
+went with him home to his house and much kind discourse.  Thence my Lord
+to Court, and I with Creed to the 'Change, and thence with Sir W. Warren
+to a cook's shop and dined, discoursing and advising him about his great
+contract he is to make tomorrow, and do every day receive great
+satisfaction in his company, and a prospect of a just advantage by his
+friendship.  Thence to my office doing some business, but it being very
+cold, I, for fear of getting cold, went early home to bed, my wife not
+being come home from my Lady Jemimah, with whom she hath been at a play
+and at Court to-day.
+
+18th.  Up and to the office, where among other things we made a very great
+contract with Sir W. Warren for 3,000 loade of timber.  At noon dined at
+home. In the afternoon to the Fishery, where, very confused and very
+ridiculous, my Lord Craven's proceedings, especially his finding fault
+with Sir J. Collaton and Colonell Griffin's' report in the accounts of the
+lottery-men.  Thence I with Mr. Gray in his coach to White Hall, but the
+King and Duke being abroad, we returned to Somersett House.  In discourse
+I find him a very worthy and studious gentleman in the business of trade,
+and among-other things he observed well to me, how it is not the greatest
+wits, but the steady man, that is a good merchant: he instanced in Ford
+and Cocke, the last of whom he values above all men as his oracle, as Mr.
+Coventry do Mr. Jolliffe.  He says that it is concluded among merchants,
+that where a trade hath once been and do decay, it never recovers again,
+and therefore that the manufacture of cloath of England will never come to
+esteem again; that, among other faults, Sir Richard Ford cannot keepe a
+secret, and that it is so much the part of a merchant to be guilty of that
+fault that the Duke of Yoke is resolved to commit no more secrets to the
+merchants of the Royall Company; that Sir Ellis Layton is, for a speech of
+forty words, the wittiest man that ever he knew in his life, but longer he
+is nothing, his judgment being nothing at all, but his wit most absolute.
+At Somersett House he carried me in, and there I saw the Queene's new
+rooms, which are most stately and nobly furnished; and there I saw her,
+and the Duke of Yorke and Duchesse were there.  The Duke espied me, and
+came to me, and talked with me a very great while about our contract this
+day with Sir W. Warren, and among other things did with some contempt ask
+whether we did except Polliards, which Sir W. Batten did yesterday (in
+spite, as the Duke I believe by my Lord Barkely do well enough know) among
+other things in writing propose. Thence home by coach, it raining hard,
+and to my office, where late, then home to supper and to bed.  This night
+the Dutch Embassador desired and had an audience of the King.  What the
+issue of it was I know not.  Both sides I believe desire peace, but
+neither will begin, and so I believe a warr will follow.  The Prince is
+with his fleet at Portsmouth, and the Dutch are making all preparations
+for warr.
+
+19th.  Up and to my office all the morning.  At noon dined at home; then
+abroad by coach to buy for the office "Herne upon the Statute of
+Charitable Uses," in order to the doing something better in the Chest than
+we have done, for I am ashamed to see Sir W. Batten possess himself so
+long of so much money as he hath done.  Coming home, weighed, my two
+silver flaggons at Stevens's.  They weigh 212 oz. 27 dwt., which is about
+L50, at 5s. per oz., and then they judge the fashion to be worth above 5s.
+per oz. more--nay, some say 10s.  an ounce the fashion.  But I do not
+believe, but yet am sorry to see that the fashion is worth so much, and
+the silver come to no more.  So home and to my office, where very busy
+late.  My wife at Mercer's mother's, I believe, W. Hewer with them, which
+I do not like, that he should ask my leave to go about business, and then
+to go and spend his time in sport, and leave me here busy.  To supper and
+to bed, my wife coming in by and by, which though I know there was no hurt
+in it; I do not like.
+
+20th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon my uncle
+Thomas came, dined with me, and received some money of me.  Then I to my
+office, where I took in with me Bagwell's wife, and there I caressed her,
+and find her every day more and more coming with good words and promises
+of getting her husband a place, which I will do.  So we parted, and I to
+my Lord Sandwich at his lodgings, and after a little stay away with Mr.
+Cholmely to Fleete Streete; in the way he telling me that Tangier is like
+to be in a bad condition with this same Fitzgerald, he being a man of no
+honour, nor presence, nor little honesty, and endeavours: to raise the
+Irish and suppress the English interest there; and offend every body, and
+do nothing that I hear of well, which I am sorry for. Thence home, by the
+way taking two silver tumblers home, which I have bought, and so home, and
+there late busy at my office, and then home to supper and to bed.
+
+21st.  Up and by coach to Mr. Cole's, and there conferred with him about
+some law business, and so to Sir W. Turner's, and there bought my cloth,
+coloured, for a suit and cloake, to line with plush the cloak, which will
+cost me money, but I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me,
+and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings.  Thence to the
+Coffee-house and 'Change, and so home to dinner, and then to the office
+all the afternoon, whither comes W. Howe to see me, being come from, and
+going presently back to sea with my Lord. Among other things he tells me
+Mr. Creed is much out of favour with my Lord from his freedom of talke and
+bold carriage, and other things with which my Lord is not pleased, but
+most I doubt his not lending my Lord money, and Mr. Moore's reporting what
+his answer was I doubt in the worst manner.  But, however, a very unworthy
+rogue he is, and, therefore, let him go for one good for nothing, though
+wise to the height above most men I converse with.  In the evening (W.
+Howe being gone) comes Mr. Martin, to trouble me again to get him a
+Lieutenant's place for which he is as fit as a foole can be. But I put him
+off like an arse, as he is, and so setting my papers and books in order: I
+home to supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  At noon comes
+my uncle Thomas and his daughter Mary about getting me to pay them the L30
+due now, but payable in law to her husband.  I did give them the best
+answer I could, and so parted, they not desiring to stay to dinner. After
+dinner I down to Deptford, and there did business, and so back to my
+office, where very late busy, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+23rd (Lord's day).  Up and to church.  At noon comes unexpected Mr.
+Fuller, the minister, and dines with me, and also I had invited Mr. Cooper
+with one I judge come from sea, and he and I spent the whole afternoon
+together, he teaching me some things in understanding of plates.  At night
+to the office, doing business, and then home to supper. Then a psalm, to
+prayers, and to bed.
+
+24th.  Up and in Sir J. Minnes' coach (alone with Mrs. Turner as far as
+Paternoster Row, where I set her down) to St. James's, and there did our
+business, and I had the good lucke to speak what pleased the Duke about
+our great contract in hand with Sir W. Warren against Sir W. Batten,
+wherein the Duke is very earnest for our contracting.  Thence home to the
+office till noon, and then dined and to the 'Change and off with Sir W.
+Warren for a while, consulting about managing his contract.  Thence to a
+Committee at White Hall of Tangier, where I had the good lucke to speak
+something to very good purpose about the Mole at Tangier, which was well
+received even by Sir J. Lawson and Mr. Cholmely, the undertakers, against
+whose interest I spoke; that I believe I shall be valued for it.  Thence
+into the galleries to talk with my Lord Sandwich; among other things,
+about the Prince's writing up to tell us of the danger he and his fleete
+lie in at Portsmouth, of receiving affronts from the Dutch; which, my Lord
+said, he would never have done, had he lain there with one ship alone: nor
+is there any great reason for it, because of the sands. However, the
+fleete will be ordered to go and lay themselves up at the Cowes. Much
+beneath the prowesse of the Prince, I think, and the honour of the nation,
+at the first to be found to secure themselves.  My Lord is well pleased to
+think, that, if the Duke and the Prince go, all the blame of any
+miscarriage will not light on him; and that if any thing goes well, he
+hopes he shall have the share of the glory, for the Prince is by no means
+well esteemed of by any body.  Thence home, and though not very well yet
+up late about the Fishery business, wherein I hope to give an account how
+I find the Collections to have been managed, which I did finish to my
+great content, and so home to supper and to bed.  This day the great
+O'Neale died; I believe, to the content of all the Protestant pretenders
+in Ireland.
+
+25th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and finished
+Sir W. Warren's great contract for timber, with great content to me,
+because just in the terms I wrote last night to Sir W. Warren and against
+the terms proposed by Sir W. Batten.  At noon home to dinner, and there
+found Creed and Hawley. After dinner comes in Mrs. Ingram, the first time
+to make a visit to my wife. After a little stay I left them and to the
+Committee of the Fishery, and there did make my report of the late public
+collections for the Fishery, much to the satisfaction of the Committee,
+and I think much to my reputation, for good notice was taken of it and
+much it was commended.  So home, in my way taking care of a piece of plate
+for Mr. Christopher Pett, against the launching of his new great ship
+tomorrow at Woolwich, which I singly did move to His Royall Highness, and
+did obtain it for him, to the value of twenty pieces.  And he, under his
+hand, do acknowledge to me that he did never receive so great a kindness
+from any man in the world as from me herein.  So to my office, and then to
+supper, and then to my office again, where busy late, being very full now
+a days of business to my great content, I thank God, and so home to bed,
+my house being full of a design, to go to-morrow, my wife and all her
+servants, to see the new ship launched.
+
+26th.  Up, my people rising mighty betimes, to fit themselves to go by
+water; and my boy, he could not sleep, but wakes about four o'clock, and
+in bed lay playing on his lute till daylight, and, it seems, did the like
+last night till twelve o'clock.  About eight o'clock, my wife, she and her
+woman, and Besse and Jane, and W. Hewer and the boy, to the water-side,
+and there took boat, and by and by I out of doors, to look after the
+flaggon, to get it ready to carry to Woolwich.  That being not ready, I
+stepped aside and found out Nellson, he that Whistler buys his bewpers of,
+and did there buy 5 pieces at their price, and am in hopes thereby to
+bring them down or buy ourselves all we spend of Nellson at the first
+hand.  This jobb was greatly to my content, and by and by the flaggon
+being finished at the burnisher's, I home, and there fitted myself, and
+took a hackney-coach I hired, it being a very cold and foule day, to
+Woolwich, all the way reading in a good book touching the fishery, and
+that being done, in the book upon the statute of charitable uses, mightily
+to my satisfaction.  At Woolwich; I there up to the King and Duke, and
+they liked the plate well.  Here I staid above with them while the ship
+was launched, which was done with great success, and the King did very
+much like the ship, saying, she had the best bow that ever he saw.  But,
+Lord! the sorry talke and discourse among the great courtiers round about
+him, without any reverence in the world, but with so much disorder.  By
+and by the Queene comes and her Mayds of Honour; one whereof, Mrs.
+Boynton, and the Duchesse of Buckingham, had been very siclee coming by
+water in the barge (the water being very rough); but what silly sport they
+made with them in very common terms, methought, was very poor, and below
+what people think these great people say and do. The launching being done,
+the King and company went down to take barge; and I sent for Mr. Pett, and
+put the flaggon into the Duke's hand, and he, in the presence of the King,
+did give it, Mr. Pett taking it upon his knee.  This Mr. Pett is wholly
+beholding to me for, and he do know and I believe will acknowledge it.
+Thence I to Mr. Ackworth, and there eat and drank with Commissioner Pett
+and his wife, and thence to Shelden's, where Sir W. Batten and his Lady
+were.  By and by I took coach after I had enquired for my wife or her
+boat, but found none.  Going out of the gate, an ordinary woman prayed me
+to give her room to London, which I did, but spoke not to her all the way,
+but read, as long as I could see, my book again.  Dark when we came to
+London, and a stop of coaches in Southwarke. I staid above half an houre
+and then 'light, and finding Sir W. Batten's coach, heard they were gone
+into the Beare at the Bridge foot, and thither I to them.  Presently the
+stop is removed, and then going out to find my coach, I could not find it,
+for it was gone with the rest; so I fair to go through the darke and dirt
+over the bridge, and my leg fell in a hole broke on the bridge, but, the
+constable standing there to keep people from it, I was catched up,
+otherwise I had broke my leg; for which mercy the Lord be praised!  So at
+Fanchurch I found my coach staying for me, and so home, where the little
+girle hath looked to the house well, but no wife come home, which made me
+begin to fear [for] her, the water being very rough, and cold and darke.
+But by and by she and her company come in all well, at which I was glad,
+though angry.  Thence I to Sir W. Batten's, and there sat late with him,
+Sir R. Ford, and Sir John Robinson; the last of whom continues still the
+same foole he was, crying up what power he has in the City, in knowing
+their temper, and being able to do what he will with them.  It seems the
+City did last night very freely lend the King L100,000 without any
+security but the King's word, which was very noble.  But this loggerhead
+and Sir R. Ford would make us believe that they did it.  Now Sir R. Ford
+is a cunning man, and makes a foole of the other, and the other believes
+whatever the other tells him. But, Lord!  to think that such a man should
+be Lieutenant of the Tower, and so great a man as he is, is a strange
+thing to me.  With them late and then home and with my wife to bed, after
+supper.
+
+27th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning busy.  At noon, Sir G.
+Carteret, Sir J. Minnes, Sir W. Batten, Sir W. Pen, and myself, were
+treated at the Dolphin by Mr. Foly, the ironmonger, where a good plain
+dinner, but I expected musique, the missing of which spoiled my dinner,
+only very good merry discourse at dinner.  Thence with Sir G. Carteret by
+coach to White Hall to a Committee of Tangier, and thence back to London,
+and 'light in Cheapside and I to Nellson's, and there met with a rub at
+first, but took him out to drink, and there discoursed to my great content
+so far with him that I think I shall agree with him for Bewpers to serve
+the Navy with.  So with great content home and to my office, where late,
+and having got a great cold in my head yesterday home to supper and to
+bed.
+
+28th.  Slept ill all night, having got a very great cold the other day at
+Woolwich in [my] head, which makes me full of snot.  Up in the morning,
+and my tailor brings me home my fine, new, coloured cloth suit, my cloake
+lined with plush, as good a suit as ever I wore in my life, and mighty
+neat, to my great content.  To my office, and there all the morning.  At
+noon to Nellson's, and there bought 20 pieces more of Bewpers, and hope to
+go on with him to a contract.  Thence to the 'Change a little, and thence
+home with Luellin to dinner, where Mr. Deane met me by appointment, and
+after dinner he and I up to my chamber, and there hard at discourse, and
+advising him what to do in his business at Harwich, and then to discourse
+of our old business of ships and taking new rules of him to my great
+pleasure, and he being gone I to my office a little, and then to see Sir
+W. Batten, who is sick of a greater cold than I, and thither comes to me
+Mr. Holliard, and into the chamber to me, and, poor man (beyond all I ever
+saw of him), was a little drunk, and there sat talking and finding
+acquaintance with Sir W. Batten and my Lady by relations on both sides,
+that there we staid very long.  At last broke up, and he home much
+overcome with drink, but well enough to get well home.  So I home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+29th.  Up, and it being my Lord Mayor's show, my boy and three mayds went
+out; but it being a very foule, rainy day, from morning till night, I was
+sorry my wife let them go out.  All the morning at the office.  At dinner
+at home.  In the afternoon to the office again, and about 9 o'clock by
+appointment to the King's Head tavern upon Fish Street Hill, whither Mr.
+Wolfe (and Parham by his means) met me to discourse about the Fishery, and
+great light I had by Parham, who is a little conceited, but a very knowing
+man in his way, and in the general fishing trade of England. Here I staid
+three hours, and eat a barrel of very fine oysters of Wolfe's giving me,
+and so, it raining hard, home and to my office, and then home to bed.  All
+the talke is that De Ruyter is come over-land home with six or eight of
+his captaines to command here at home, and their ships kept abroad in the
+Straights; which sounds as if they had a mind to do something with us.
+
+30th (Lord's day).  Up, and this morning put on my new, fine, coloured
+cloth suit, with my cloake lined with plush, which is a dear and noble
+suit, costing me about L17.  To church, and then home to dinner, and after
+dinner to a little musique with my boy, and so to church with my wife, and
+so home, and with her all the evening reading and at musique with my boy
+with great pleasure, and so to supper, prayers, and to bed.
+
+31st.  Very busy all the morning, at noon Creed to me and dined with me,
+and then he and I to White Hall, there to a Committee of Tangier, where it
+is worth remembering when Mr. Coventry proposed the retrenching some of
+the charge of the horse, the first word asked by the Duke of Albemarle
+was, "Let us see who commands them," there being three troops.  One of
+them he calls to mind was by Sir Toby Bridges. "Oh!" says he, "there is a
+very good man.  If you must reform
+
+     [Reform, i.e.  disband.  See "Memoirs of Sir John Reresby,"
+     September 2nd, 1651.  "A great many younger brothers and reformed
+     officers of the King's army depended upon him for their meat and
+     drink."  So reformado, a discharged or disbanded officer.--M. B.]
+
+two of them, be sure let him command the troop that is left."  Thence
+home, and there came presently to me Mr. Young and Whistler, who find that
+I have quite overcome them in their business of flags, and now they come
+to intreat my favour, but I will be even with them.  So late to my office
+and there till past one in the morning making up my month's accounts, and
+find that my expense this month in clothes has kept me from laying up
+anything; but I am no worse, but a little better than I was, which is
+L1205, a great sum, the Lord be praised for it!  So home to bed, with my
+mind full of content therein, and vexed for my being so angry in bad words
+to my wife to-night, she not giving me a good account of her layings out
+to my mind to-night.  This day I hear young Mr. Stanly, a brave young
+[gentleman], that went out with young Jermin, with Prince Rupert, is
+already dead of the small-pox, at Portsmouth.  All preparations against
+the Dutch; and the Duke of Yorke fitting himself with all speed, to go to
+the fleete which is hastening for him; being now resolved to go in the
+Charles.
+
+                           DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                 NOVEMBER
+                                   1664
+
+November 1st.  Up and to the office, where busy all the morning, at noon
+(my wife being invited to my Lady Sandwich's) all alone dined at home upon
+a good goose with Mr. Wayth, discussing of business.  Thence I to the
+Committee of the Fishery, and there we sat with several good discourses
+and some bad and simple ones, and with great disorder, and yet by the men
+of businesse of the towne. But my report in the business of the
+collections is mightily commended and will get me some reputation, and
+indeed is the only thing looks like a thing well done since we sat. Then
+with Mr. Parham to the tavern, but I drank no wine, only he did give me
+another barrel of oysters, and he brought one Major Greene, an able
+fishmonger, and good discourse to my information.  So home and late at
+business at my office.  Then to supper and to bed.
+
+2nd.  Up betimes, and down with Mr. Castle to Redriffe, and there walked
+to Deptford to view a parcel of brave knees--[Knees of timber]--of his,
+which indeed are very good, and so back again home, I seeming very
+friendly to him, though I know him to be a rogue, and one that hates me
+with his heart.  Home and to dinner, and so to my office all the
+afternoon, where in some pain in my backe, which troubled me, but I think
+it comes only with stooping, and from no other matter.  At night to
+Nellson's, and up and down about business, and so home to my office, then
+home to supper and to bed.
+
+3rd.  Up and to the office, where strange to see how Sir W. Pen is flocked
+to by people of all sorts against his going to sea.  At the office did
+much business, among other an end of that that has troubled me long, the
+business of the bewpers and flags.  At noon to the 'Change, and thence by
+appointment was met with Bagwell's wife, and she followed me into
+Moorfields, and there into a drinking house, and all alone eat and drank
+together.  I did there caress her, but though I did make some offer did
+not receive any compliance from her in what was bad, but very modestly she
+denied me, which I was glad to see and shall value her the better for it,
+and I hope never tempt her to any evil more. Thence back to the town, and
+we parted and I home, and then at the office late, where Sir W. Pen came
+to take his leave of me, being to-morrow, which is very sudden to us, to
+go on board to lie on board, but I think will come ashore again before the
+ship, the Charles,
+
+     ["The Royal Charles" was the Duke of York's ship, and Sir William
+     Penn, who hoisted his flag in the "Royal James" on November 8th,
+     shifted to the "Royal Charles" on November 30th.  The duke gave Penn
+     the command of the fleet immediately under himself.  On Penn's
+     monument he is styled "Great Captain Commander under His Royal
+     Highness" (Penn's "Memorials of Sir William Penn," vol. ii.,
+     p. 296).]
+
+can go away.  So home to supper and to bed.  This night Sir W. Batten did,
+among other things, tell me strange newes, which troubles me, that my Lord
+Sandwich will be sent Governor to Tangier, which, in some respects,
+indeed, I should be glad of, for the good of the place and the safety of
+his person; but I think his honour will suffer, and, it may be, his
+interest fail by his distance.
+
+4th.  Waked very betimes and lay long awake, my mind being so full of
+business. Then up and to St. James's, where I find Mr. Coventry full of
+business, packing up for his going to sea with the Duke.  Walked with him,
+talking, to White Hall, where to the Duke's lodgings, who is gone thither
+to lodge lately.  I appeared to the Duke, and thence Mr. Coventry and I an
+hour in the Long Gallery, talking about the management of our office, he
+tells me the weight of dispatch will lie chiefly on me, and told me freely
+his mind touching Sir W. Batten and Sir J. Minnes, the latter of whom, he
+most aptly said, was like a lapwing; that all he did was to keepe a
+flutter, to keepe others from the nest that they would find.  He told me
+an old story of the former about the light-houses, how just before he had
+certified to the Duke against the use of them, and what a burden they are
+to trade, and presently after, at his being at Harwich, comes to desire
+that he might have the setting one up there, and gets the usefulness of it
+certified also by the Trinity House.  After long discoursing and
+considering all our stores and other things, as how the King hath resolved
+upon Captain Taylor
+
+     [Coventry, writing to Secretary Bennet (November 14th, 1664), refers
+     to the objections made to Taylor, and adds: "Thinks the King will
+     not easily consent to his rejection, as he is a man of great
+     abilities and dispatch, and was formerly laid aside at Chatham on
+     the Duchess of Albemarle's earnest interposition for another.  He is
+     a fanatic, it is true, but all hands will be needed for the work cut
+     out; there is less danger of them in harbour than at sea, and profit
+     will convert most of them" ("Calendar of State Papers," Domestic,
+     1664-65, p. 68).]
+
+and Colonell Middleton, the first to be Commissioner for Harwich and the
+latter for Portsmouth, I away to the 'Change, and there did very much
+business, so home to dinner, and Mr. Duke, our Secretary for the Fishery,
+dined with me. After dinner to discourse of our business, much to my
+content, and then he away, and I by water among the smiths on the other
+side, and to the alehouse with one and was near buying 4 or 5 anchors, and
+learned something worth my knowing of them, and so home and to my office,
+where late, with my head very full of business, and so away home to supper
+and to bed.
+
+5th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning, at noon to the 'Change,
+and thence home to dinner, and so with my wife to the Duke's house to a
+play, "Macbeth,"  a pretty good play, but admirably acted. Thence home;
+the coach being forced to go round by London Wall home, because of the
+bonefires; the day being mightily observed in the City. To my office late
+at business, and then home to supper, and to bed.
+
+6th (Lord's day).  Up and with my wife to church.  Dined at home.  And I
+all the afternoon close at my office drawing up some proposals to present
+to the Committee for the Fishery to-morrow, having a great good intention
+to be serviceable in the business if I can.  At night, to supper with my
+uncle Wight, where very merry, and so home.  To prayers and to bed.
+
+7th.  Up and with Sir W. Batten to White Hall, where mighty thrusting
+about the Duke now upon his going.  We were with him long.  He advised us
+to follow our business close, and to be directed in his absence by the
+Committee of the Councell for the Navy.  By and by a meeting of the
+Fishery, where the Duke was, but in such haste, and things looked so
+superficially over, that I had not a fit opportunity to propose my paper
+that I wrote yesterday, but I had chewed it to Mr. Gray and Wren before,
+who did like it most highly, as they said, and I think they would not
+dissemble in that manner in a business of this nature, but I see the
+greatest businesses are done so superficially that I wonder anything
+succeeds at all among us, that is publique.  Thence somewhat vexed to see
+myself frustrated in the good I hoped to have done and a little reputation
+to have gained, and thence to my barber's, but Jane not being in the way I
+to my Lady Sandwich's, and there met my wife and dined, but I find that I
+dine as well myself, that is, as neatly, and my meat as good and
+well-dressed, as my good Lady do, in the absence of my Lord. Thence by
+water I to my barber's again, and did meet in the street my Jane, but
+could not talk with her, but only a word or two, and so by coach called my
+wife, and home, where at my office late, and then, it being washing day,
+to supper and to bed.
+
+8th.  Up and to the office, where by and by Mr. Coventry come, and after
+doing a little business, took his leave of us, being to go to sea with the
+Duke to-morrow.  At noon, I and Sir J. Minnes and Lord Barkeley (who with
+Sir J. Duncum, and Mr. Chichly, are made Masters of the Ordnance), to the
+office of the Ordnance, to discourse about wadding for guns. Thence to
+dinner, all of us to the Lieutenant's of the Tower; where a good dinner,
+but disturbed in the middle of it by the King's coming into the Tower: and
+so we broke up, and to him, and went up and down the store-houses and
+magazines; which are, with the addition of the new great store-house, a
+noble sight.  He gone, I to my office, where Bagwell's wife staid for me,
+and together with her a good while, to meet again shortly.  So all the
+afternoon at my office till late, and then to bed, joyed in my love and
+ability to follow my business.  This day, Mr. Lever sent my wife a pair of
+silver candlesticks, very pretty ones.  The first man that ever presented
+me, to whom I have not only done little service, but apparently did him
+the greatest disservice in his business of accounts, as Purser-Generall,
+of any man at the board.
+
+9th.  Called up, as I had appointed, by H. Russell, between two and three
+o'clock, and I and my boy Tom by water with a gally down to the Hope, it
+being a fine starry night.  Got thither by eight o'clock, and there, as
+expected, found the Charles, her mainmast setting.  Commissioner Pett
+aboard.  I up and down to see the ship I was so well acquainted with, and
+a great worke it is, the setting so great a mast.  Thence the Commissioner
+and I on board Sir G. Ascue, in the Henery, who lacks men mightily, which
+makes me think that there is more believed to be in a man that hath
+heretofore been employed than truly there is; for one would never have
+thought, a month ago, that he would have wanted 1000 men at his heels.
+Nor do I think he hath much of a seaman in him: for he told me, says he,
+"Heretofore, we used to find our ships clear and ready, everything to our
+hands in the Downes.  Now I come, and must look to see things done like a
+slave, things that I never minded, nor cannot look after." And by his
+discourse I find that he hath not minded anything in her at all. Thence
+not staying, the wind blowing hard, I made use of the Jemmy yacht and
+returned to the Tower in her, my boy being a very droll boy and good
+company. Home and eat something, and then shifted myself, and to White
+Hall, and there the King being in his Cabinet Council (I desiring to speak
+with Sir G. Carteret), I was called in, and demanded by the King himself
+many questions, to which I did give him full answers. There were at this
+Council my Lord Chancellor, Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Treasurer, the
+two Secretarys, and Sir G. Carteret.  Not a little contented at this
+chance of being made known to these persons, and called often by my name
+by the King, I to Mr. Pierces to take leave of him, but he not within, but
+saw her and made very little stay, but straight home to my office, where I
+did business, and then to supper and to bed.  The Duke of York is this day
+gone away to Portsmouth.
+
+10th.  Up, and not finding my things ready, I was so angry with Besse as
+to bid my wife for good and all to bid her provide herself a place, for
+though she be very good-natured, she hath no care nor memory of her
+business at all.  So to the office, where vexed at the malice of Sir W.
+Batten and folly of Sir J. Minnes against Sir W. Warren, but I prevented,
+and shall do, though to my own disquiet and trouble.  At noon dined with
+Sir W. Batten and the Auditors of the Exchequer at the Dolphin by Mr.
+Wayth's desire, and after dinner fell to business relating to Sir G.
+Carteret's account, and so home to the office, where Sir W. Batten begins,
+too fast, to shew his knavish tricks in giving what price he pleases for
+commodities.  So abroad, intending to have spoke with my Lord Chancellor
+about the old business of his wood at Clarendon, but could not, and so
+home again, and late at my office, and then home to supper and bed.  My
+little girle Susan is fallen sicke of the meazles, we fear, or, at least,
+of a scarlett feavour.
+
+11th.  Up, and with Sir J. Minnes and Sir W. Batten to the Council Chamber
+at White Hall, to the Committee of the Lords for the Navy, where we were
+made to wait an houre or two before called in.  In that time looking upon
+some books of heraldry of Sir Edward Walker's making, which are very fine,
+there I observed the Duke of Monmouth's armes are neatly done, and his
+title, "The most noble and high-born Prince, James Scott, Duke of
+Monmouth, &c.;" nor could Sir J. Minnes, nor any body there, tell whence
+he should take the name of Scott?  And then I found my Lord Sandwich, his
+title under his armes is, "The most noble and mighty Lord, Edward, Earl of
+Sandwich, &c."  Sir Edward Walker afterwards coming in, in discourse did
+say that there was none of the families of princes in Christendom that do
+derive themselves so high as Julius Caesar, nor so far by 1000 years, that
+can directly prove their rise; only some in Germany do derive themselves
+from the patrician familys of Rome, but that uncertainly; and, among other
+things, did much inveigh against the writing of romances, that 500 years
+hence being wrote of matters in general, true as the romance of Cleopatra,
+the world will not know which is the true and which the false. Here was a
+gentleman attending here that told us he saw the other day (and did bring
+the draught of it to Sir Francis Prigeon) of a monster born of an
+hostler's wife at Salisbury, two women children perfectly made, joyned at
+the lower part of their bellies, and every part perfect as two bodies, and
+only one payre of legs coming forth on one side from the middle where they
+were joined. It was alive 24 hours, and cried and did as all hopefull
+children do; but, being showed too much to people, was killed.  By and by
+we were called in, where a great many lords:  Annesly in the chair.  But,
+Lord! to see what work they will make us, and what trouble we shall have
+to inform men in a business they are to begin to know, when the greatest
+of our hurry is, is a thing to be lamented; and I fear the consequence
+will be bad to us. Thence I by coach to the 'Change, and thence home to
+dinner, my head akeing mightily with much business.  Our little girl
+better than she was yesterday. After dinner out again by coach to my Lord
+Chancellor's, but could not speak with him, then up and down to seek Sir
+Ph. Warwicke, Sir G. Carteret, and my Lord Berkely, but failed in all, and
+so home and there late at business.  Among other things Mr. Turner making
+his complaint to me how my clerks do all the worke and get all the profit,
+and he hath no comfort, nor cannot subsist, I did make him apprehend how
+he is beholding to me more than to any body for my suffering him to act as
+Pourveyour of petty provisions, and told him so largely my little value of
+any body's favour, that I believe he will make no complaints again a good
+while.  So home to supper and to bed, after prayers, and having my boy and
+Mercer give me some, each of them some, musique.
+
+12th.  Up, being frighted that Mr. Coventry was come to towne and now at
+the office, so I run down without eating or drinking or washing to the
+office and it proved my Lord Berkeley.  There all the morning, at noon to
+the 'Change, and so home to dinner, Mr. Wayth with me, and then to the
+office, where mighty busy till very late, but I bless God I go through
+with it very well and hope I shall.
+
+13th (Lord's day).  This morning to church, where mighty sport, to hear
+our clerke sing out of tune, though his master sits by him that begins and
+keeps the tune aloud for the parish.  Dined at home very well, and spent
+all the afternoon with my wife within doors, and getting a speech out of
+Hamlett, "To bee or not to bee,"' without book.  In the evening to sing
+psalms, and in come Mr. Hill to see me, and then he and I and the boy
+finely to sing, and so anon broke up after much pleasure, he gone I to
+supper, and so prayers and to bed.
+
+14th.  Up, and with Sir W. Batten to White Hall, to the Lords of the
+Admiralty, and there did our business betimes.  Thence to Sir Philip
+Warwicke about Navy business: and my Lord Ashly; and afterwards to my Lord
+Chancellor, who is very well pleased with me, and my carrying of his
+business.  And so to the 'Change, where mighty busy; and so home to
+dinner, where Mr. Creed and Moore: and after dinner I to my Lord
+Treasurer's, to Sir Philip Warwicke there, and then to White Hall, to the
+Duke of Albemarle, about Tangier; and then homeward to the Coffee-house to
+hear newes.  And it seems the Dutch, as I afterwards found by Mr.
+Coventry's letters, have stopped a ship of masts of Sir W. Warren's,
+coming for us in a Swede's ship, which they will not release upon Sir G.
+Downing's claiming her: which appears as the first act of hostility; and
+is looked upon as so by Mr. Coventry.  The Elias,' coming from New England
+(Captain Hill, commander), is sunk; only the captain and a few men saved.
+She foundered in the sea.  So home, where infinite busy till 12 at night,
+and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+15th.  That I might not be too fine for the business I intend this day, I
+did leave off my fine new cloth suit lined with plush and put on my poor
+black suit, and after office done (where much business, but little done),
+I to the 'Change, and thence Bagwell's wife with much ado followed me
+through Moorfields to a blind alehouse, and there I did caress her and eat
+and drink, and many hard looks and sooth the poor wretch did give me, and
+I think verily was troubled at what I did, but at last after many
+protestings by degrees I did arrive at what I would, with great pleasure,
+and then in the evening, it raining, walked into town to where she knew
+where she was, and then I took coach and to White Hall to a Committee of
+Tangier, where, and every where else, I thank God, I find myself growing
+in repute; and so home, and late, very late, at business, nobody minding
+it but myself, and so home to bed, weary and full of thoughts. Businesses
+grow high between the Dutch and us on every side.
+
+16th.  My wife not being well, waked in the night, and strange to see how
+dead sleep our people sleep that she was fain to ring an hour before any
+body would wake.  At last one rose and helped my wife, and so to sleep
+again.  Up and to my business, and then to White Hall, there to attend the
+Lords Commissioners, and so directly home and dined with Sir W. Batten and
+my Lady, and after dinner had much discourse tending to profit with Sir W.
+Batten, how to get ourselves into the prize office
+
+     [The Calendars of State Papers are full of references to
+     applications for Commissionerships of the Prize Office.  In
+     December, 1664, the Navy Committee appointed themselves the
+     Commissioners for Prize Goods, Sir Henry Bennet being appointed
+     comptroller, and Lord Ashley treasurer.]
+
+or some other fair way of obliging the King to consider us in our
+extraordinary pains.  Then to the office, and there all the afternoon very
+busy, and so till past 12 at night, and so home to bed.  This day my wife
+went to the burial of a little boy of W. Joyce's.
+
+17th.  Up and to my office, and there all the morning mighty busy, and
+taking upon me to tell the Comptroller how ill his matters were done, and
+I think indeed if I continue thus all the business of the office will come
+upon me whether I will or no.  At noon to the 'Change, and then home with
+Creed to dinner, and thence I to the office, where close at it all the
+afternoon till 12 at night, and then home to supper and to bed.  This day
+I received from Mr. Foley, but for me to pay for it, if I like it, an iron
+chest, having now received back some money I had laid out for the King,
+and I hope to have a good sum of money by me, thereby, in a few days, I
+think above L800.  But when I come home at night, I could not find the way
+to open it; but, which is a strange thing, my little girle Susan could
+carry it alone from one table clear from the ground and set upon another,
+when neither I nor anyone in my house but Jane the cook-mayde could do it.
+
+18th.  Up and to the office, and thence to the Committee of the Fishery at
+White Hall, where so poor simple doings about the business of the Lottery,
+that I was ashamed to see it, that a thing so low and base should have any
+thing to do with so noble an undertaking.  But I had the advantage this
+day to hear Mr. Williamson discourse, who come to be a contractor with
+others for the Lotterys, and indeed I find he is a very logicall man and a
+good speaker.  But it was so pleasant to see my Lord Craven, the
+chaireman, before many persons of worth and grave, use this comparison in
+saying that certainly these that would contract for all the lotteries
+would not suffer us to set up the Virginia lottery for plate before them,
+"For," says he, "if I occupy a wench first, you may occupy her again your
+heart out you can never have her maidenhead after I have once had it,"
+which he did more loosely, and yet as if he had fetched a most grave and
+worthy instance.  They made mirth, but I and others were ashamed of it.
+Thence to the 'Change and thence home to dinner, and thence to the office
+a good while, and thence to the Council chamber at White Hall to speake
+with Sir G. Carteret, and here by accident heard a great and famous cause
+between Sir G. Lane and one Mr. Phill. Whore, an Irish business about Sir
+G. Lane's endeavouring to reverse a decree of the late Commissioners of
+Ireland in a Rebells case for his land, which the King had given as
+forfeited to Sir G. Lane, for whom the Sollicitor did argue most angell
+like, and one of the Commissioners, Baron, did argue for the other and for
+himself and his brethren who had decreed it. But the Sollicitor do so pay
+the Commissioners, how four all along did act for the Papists, and three
+only for the Protestants, by which they were overvoted, but at last one
+word (which was omitted in the Sollicitor's repeating of an Act of
+Parliament in the case) being insisted on by the other part, the
+Sollicitor was put to a great stop, and I could discern he could not tell
+what to say, but was quite out. Thence home well pleased with this
+accident, and so home to my office, where late, and then to supper and to
+bed.  This day I had a letter from Mr. Coventry, that tells me that my
+Lord Brunkard is to be one of our Commissioners, of which I am very glad,
+if any more must be.
+
+19th.  All the morning at the office, and without dinner down by galley up
+and down the river to visit the yards and ships now ordered forth with
+great delight, and so home to supper, and then to office late to write
+letters, then home to bed.
+
+20th (Lord's day).  Up, and with my wife to church, where Pegg Pen very
+fine in her new coloured silk suit laced with silver lace.  Dined at home,
+and Mr. Sheply, lately come to town, with me.  A great deal of ordinary
+discourse with him.  Among other things praying him to speak to Stankes to
+look after our business.  With him and in private with Mr. Bodham talking
+of our ropeyarde stores at Woolwich, which are mighty low, even to
+admiration.  They gone, in the evening comes Mr. Andrews and sings with
+us, and he gone, I to Sir W. Batten's, where Sir J. Minnes and he and I to
+talk about our letter to my Lord Treasurer, where his folly and simple
+confidence so great in a report so ridiculous that he hath drawn up to
+present to my Lord, nothing of it being true, that I was ashamed, and did
+roundly and in many words for an houre together talk boldly to him, which
+pleased Sir W. Batten and my Lady, but I was in the right, and was the
+willinger to do so before them, that they might see that I am somebody,
+and shall serve him so in his way another time.  So home vexed at this
+night's passage, for I had been very hot with him, so to supper and to
+bed, out of order with this night's vexation.
+
+21st.  Up, and with them to the Lords at White Hall, where they do single
+me out to speake to and to hear, much to my content, and received their
+commands, particularly in several businesses.  Thence by their order to
+the Attorney General's about a new warrant for Captain Taylor which I
+shall carry for him to be Commissioner in spite of Sir W. Batten, and yet
+indeed it is not I, but the ability of the man, that makes the Duke and
+Mr. Coventry stand by their choice. I to the 'Change and there staid long
+doing business, and this day for certain newes is come that Teddiman hath
+brought in eighteen or twenty Dutchmen, merchants, their Bourdeaux fleete,
+and two men of wary to Portsmouth.
+
+     [Captain Sir Thomas Teddiman (or Tyddiman) had been appointed
+     Rear-Admiral of Lord Sandwich's squadron of the English fleet.  In a
+     letter from Sir William Coventry to Secretary Bennet, dated November
+     13th, 1664, we read, "Rear Admiral Teddeman with four or five ships
+     has gone to course in the Channel, and if he meet any refractory
+     Dutchmen will teach them their duty" ("Calendar of State Papers,"
+     Domestic, 1664.-65, p. 66).]
+
+And I had letters this afternoon, that three are brought into the Downes
+and Dover; so that the warr is begun: God give a good end to it!  After
+dinner at home all the afternoon busy, and at night with Sir W. Batten and
+Sir J. Minnes looking over the business of stating the accounts of the
+navy charge to my Lord Treasurer, where Sir J. Minnes's paper served us in
+no stead almost, but was all false, and after I had done it with great
+pains, he being by, I am confident he understands not one word in it.  At
+it till 10 at night almost. Thence by coach to Sir Philip Warwicke's, by
+his desire to have conferred with him, but he being in bed, I to White
+Hall to the Secretaries, and there wrote to Mr. Coventry, and so home by
+coach again, a fine clear moonshine night, but very cold. Home to my
+office awhile, it being past 12 at night; and so to supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  At the office all the morning.  Sir G. Carteret, upon a motion of
+Sir W. Batten's, did promise, if we would write a letter to him, to shew
+it to the King on our behalf touching our desire of being Commissioners of
+the Prize office.  I wrote a letter to my mind and, after eating a bit at
+home (Mr. Sheply dining and taking his leave of me), abroad and to Sir G.
+Carteret with the letter and thence to my Lord Treasurer's; wherewith Sir
+Philip Warwicke long studying all we could to make the last year swell as
+high as we could. And it is much to see how he do study for the King, to
+do it to get all the money from the Parliament all he can: and I shall be
+serviceable to him therein, to help him to heads upon which to enlarge the
+report of the expense. He did observe to me how obedient this Parliament
+was for awhile, and the last sitting how they begun to differ, and to carp
+at the King's officers; and what they will do now, he says, is to make
+agreement for the money, for there is no guess to be made of it.  He told
+me he was prepared to convince the Parliament that the Subsidys are a most
+ridiculous tax (the four last not rising to L40,000), and unequall.  He
+talks of a tax of Assessment of L70,000 for five years; the people to be
+secured that it shall continue no longer than there is really a warr; and
+the charges thereof to be paid.  He told me, that one year of the late
+Dutch warr cost L1,623,000.  Thence to my Lord Chancellor's, and there
+staid long with Sir W. Batten and Sir J. Minnes, to speak with my lord
+about our Prize Office business; but, being sicke and full of visitants,
+we could not speak with him, and so away home. Where Sir Richard Ford did
+meet us with letters from Holland this day, that it is likely the Dutch
+fleete will not come out this year; they have not victuals to keep them
+out, and it is likely they will be frozen before they can get back.
+Captain Cocke is made Steward for sick and wounded seamen.  So home to
+supper, where troubled to hear my poor boy Tom has a fit of the stone, or
+some other pain like it.  I must consult Mr. Holliard for him.  So at one
+in the morning home to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up and to my office, where close all the morning about my Lord
+Treasurer's accounts, and at noon home to dinner, and then to the office
+all the afternoon very busy till very late at night, and then to supper
+and to bed. This evening Mr. Hollyard came to me and told me that he hath
+searched my boy, and he finds he hath a stone in his bladder, which
+grieves me to the heart, he being a good-natured and well-disposed boy,
+and more that it should be my misfortune to have him come to my house. Sir
+G. Carteret was here this afternoon; and strange to see how we plot to
+make the charge of this warr to appear greater than it is, because of
+getting money.
+
+24th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning busy answering of
+people. About noon out with Commissioner Pett, and he and I to a
+Coffee-house, to drink jocolatte, very good; and so by coach to
+Westminster, being the first day of the Parliament's meeting.  After the
+House had received the King's speech, and what more he had to say,
+delivered in writing, the Chancellor being sicke, it rose, and I with Sir
+Philip Warwicke home and conferred our matters about the charge of the
+Navy, and have more to give him in the excessive charge of this year's
+expense.  I dined with him, and Mr. Povy with us and Sir Edmund Pooly, a
+fine gentleman, and Mr. Chichly, and fine discourse we had and fine talke,
+being proud to see myself accepted in such company and thought better than
+I am. After dinner Sir Philip and I to talk again, and then away home to
+the office, where sat late; beginning our sittings now in the afternoon,
+because of the Parliament; and they being rose, I to my office, where late
+till almost one o'clock, and then home to bed.
+
+25th.  Up and at my office all the morning, to prepare an account of the
+charge we have been put to extraordinary by the Dutch already; and I have
+brought it to appear L852,700; but God knows this is only a scare to the
+Parliament, to make them give the more money.  Thence to the Parliament
+House, and there did give it to Sir Philip Warwicke; the House being hot
+upon giving the King a supply of money, and I by coach to the 'Change and
+took up Mr. Jenings along with me (my old acquaintance), he telling me the
+mean manner that Sir Samuel Morland lives near him, in a house he hath
+bought and laid out money upon, in all to the value of L1200, but is
+believed to be a beggar; and so I ever thought he would be.  From the
+'Change with Mr. Deering and Luellin to the White Horse tavern in Lombard
+Street, and there dined with them, he giving me a dish of meat to
+discourse in order to my serving Deering, which I am already obliged to
+do, and shall do it, and would be glad he were a man trusty that I might
+venture something along with him.  Thence home, and by and by in the
+evening took my wife out by coach, leaving her at Unthanke's while I to
+White Hall and to Westminster Hall, where I have not been to talk a great
+while, and there hear that Mrs. Lane and her husband live a sad life
+together, and he is gone to be a paymaster to a company to Portsmouth to
+serve at sea.  She big with child. Thence I home, calling my wife, and at
+Sir W. Batten's hear that the House have given the King L2,500,000 to be
+paid for this warr, only for the Navy, in three years' time; which is a
+joyfull thing to all the King's party I see, but was much opposed by Mr.
+Vaughan and others, that it should be so much. So home and to supper and
+to bed.
+
+26th.  Up and to the office, where busy all the morning.  Home a while to
+dinner and then to the office, where very late busy till quite weary, but
+contented well with my dispatch of business, and so home to supper and to
+bed.
+
+27th (Lord's day).  To church in the morning, then dined at home, and to
+my office, and there all the afternoon setting right my business of
+flaggs, and after all my pains find reason not to be sorry, because I
+think it will bring me considerable profit.  In the evening come Mr.
+Andrews and Hill, and we sung, with my boy, Ravenscroft's 4-part psalms,
+most admirable musique.  Then (Andrews not staying) we to supper, and
+after supper fell into the rarest discourse with Mr. Hill about Rome and
+Italy; but most pleasant that I ever had in my life.  At it very late and
+then to bed.
+
+28th.  Up, and with Sir J. Minnes and W. Batten to White Hall, but no
+Committee of Lords (which is like to do the King's business well).  So to
+Westminster, and there to Jervas's and was a little while with Jane, and
+so to London by coach and to the Coffee-house, where certain news of our
+peace made by Captain Allen with Argier, which is good news; and that the
+Dutch have sent part of their fleete round by Scotland; and resolve to pay
+off the rest half-pay, promising the rest in the Spring, hereby keeping
+their men.  But how true this, I know not.  Home to dinner, then come Dr.
+Clerke to speak with me about sick and wounded men, wherein he is like to
+be concerned.  After him Mr. Cutler, and much talk with him, and with him
+to White Hall, to have waited on the Lords by order, but no meeting,
+neither to-night, which will spoil all.  I think I shall get something by
+my discourse with Cutler.  So home, and after being at my office an hour
+with Mr. Povy talking about his business of Tangier, getting him some
+money allowed him for freight of ships, wherein I hope to get something
+too.  He gone, home hungry and almost sick for want of eating, and so to
+supper and to bed.
+
+29th.  Up, and with Sir W. Batten to the Committee of Lords at the Council
+Chamber, where Sir G. Carteret told us what he had said to the King, and
+how the King inclines to our request of making us Commissioners of the
+Prize office, but meeting him anon in the gallery, he tells me that my
+Lord Barkely is angry we should not acquaint him with it, so I found out
+my Lord and pacified him, but I know not whether he was so in earnest or
+no, for he looked very frowardly.  Thence to the Parliament House, and
+with Sir W. Batten home and dined with him, my wife being gone to my Lady
+Sandwich's, and then to the office, where we sat all the afternoon, and I
+at my office till past 12 at night, and so home to bed. This day I hear
+that the King should say that the Dutch do begin to comply with him.  Sir
+John Robinson told Sir W. Batten that he heard the King say so.  I pray
+God it may be so.
+
+30th.  Up, and with Sir W. Batten and Sir J. Minnes to the Committee of

+my office all the afternoon.  In the evening my wife and Sir W. Warren
+with me to White Hall, sending her with the coach to see her father and
+mother.  He and I up to Sir G. Carteret, and first I alone and then both
+had discourse with him about things of the Navy, and so I and he calling
+my wife at Unthanke's, home again, and long together talking how to order
+things in a new contract for Norway goods, as well to the King's as to his

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+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.
