+
+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.
+

+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.

+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

+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.

+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.

+                                  1664
+
+
+December 1st.  Up betimes and to White Hall to a Committee of Tangier,
+and so straight home and hard to my business at my office till noon, then
+to dinner, and so to my office, and by and by we sat all the afternoon,
+then to my office again till past one in the morning, and so home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+2nd.  Lay long in bed.  Then up and to the office, where busy all the
+morning.  At home dined.  After dinner with my wife and Mercer to the
+Duke's House, and there saw "The Rivalls," which I had seen before; but
+the play not good, nor anything but the good actings of Betterton and his
+wife and Harris.  Thence homeward, and the coach broke with us in
+Lincoln's Inn Fields, and so walked to Fleete Streete, and there took
+coach and home, and to my office, whither by and by comes Captain Cocke,
+and then Sir W. Batten, and we all to Sir J. Minnes, and I did give them
+a barrel of oysters I had given to me, and so there sat and talked, where
+good discourse of the late troubles, they knowing things, all of them,
+very well; and Cocke, from the King's own mouth, being then entrusted
+himself much, do know particularly that the King's credulity to
+Cromwell's promises, private to him, against the advice of his friends
+and the certain discovery of the practices and discourses of Cromwell in
+council (by Major Huntington)
+
+     [According to Clarendon the officer here alluded to was a major in
+     Cromwell's own regiment of horse, and employed by him to treat with
+     Charles I. whilst at Hampton Court; but being convinced of the
+     insincerity of the proceeding, communicated his suspicions to that
+     monarch, and immediately gave up his commission.  We hear no more of
+     Huntington till the Restoration, when his name occurs with those of
+     many other officers, who tendered their services to the king.  His
+     reasons for laying down his commission are printed in Thurloe's
+     "State Papers" and Maseres's "Tracts."--B.]
+
+did take away his life and nothing else.  Then to some loose atheisticall
+discourse of Cocke's, when he was almost drunk, and then about 11 o'clock
+broke up, and I to my office, to fit up an account for Povy, wherein I
+hope to get something.  At it till almost two o'clock, then to supper and
+to bed.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Up, and at the office all the morning, and at noon to Mr. Cutler's,
+and there dined with Sir W. Rider and him, and thence Sir W. Rider and I
+by coach to White Hall to a Committee of the Fishery; there only to hear
+Sir Edward Ford's proposal about farthings, wherein, O God! to see almost
+every body interested for him; only my Lord Annesly, who is a grave,
+serious man.  My Lord Barkeley was there, but is the most hot, fiery man
+in discourse, without any cause, that ever I saw, even to breach of
+civility to my Lord Anglesey, in his discourse opposing to my Lord's.  At
+last, though without much satisfaction to me, it was voted that it should
+be requested of the King, and that Sir Edward Ford's proposal is the best
+yet made.  Thence by coach home.  The Duke of Yorke being expected
+to-night with great joy from Portsmouth, after his having been abroad at
+sea three or four days with the fleete; and the Dutch are all drawn into
+their harbours.  But it seems like a victory: and a matter of some
+reputation to us it is, and blemish to them; but in no degree like what
+it is esteemed at, the weather requiring them to do so.  Home and at my
+office late, and then to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+4th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed, and then up and to my office, there
+to dispatch a business in order to the getting something out of the
+Tangier business, wherein I have an opportunity to get myself paid upon
+the score of freight.  I hope a good sum.  At noon home to dinner, and
+then in the afternoon to church.  So home, and by and by comes Mr. Hill
+and Andrews, and sung together long and with great content.  Then to
+supper and broke up.  Pretty discourse, very pleasant and ingenious, and
+so to my office a little, and then home (after prayers) to bed.  This day
+I hear the Duke of Yorke is come to towne, though expected last night, as
+I observed, but by what hindrance stopped I can't tell.
+
+
+
+5th.  Up, and to White Hall with Sir J. Minnes; and there, among an
+infinite crowd of great persons, did kiss the Duke's hand; but had no
+time to discourse.  Thence up and down the gallery, and got my Lord of
+Albemarle's hand to my bill for Povy, but afterwards was asked some
+scurvy questions by Povy about my demands, which troubled [me], but will
+do no great hurt I think.  Thence vexed home, and there by appointment
+comes my cozen Roger Pepys and Mrs. Turner, and dined with me, and very
+merry we were.  They staid all the afternoon till night, and then after I
+had discoursed an hour with Sir W. Warren plainly declaring my resolution
+to desert him if he goes on to join with Castle, who and his family I,
+for great provocation, love not, which he takes with some trouble, but
+will concur in everything with me, he says.  Now I am loth, I confess, to
+lose him, he having been the best friend I have had ever in this office.
+So he being gone, we all, it being night, in Madam Turner's coach to her
+house, there to see, as she tells us, how fat Mrs. The.  is grown, and so
+I find her, but not as I expected, but mightily pleased I am to hear the
+mother commend her daughter Betty that she is like to be a great beauty,
+and she sets much by her.  Thence I to White Hall, and there saw Mr.
+Coventry come to towne, and, with all my heart, am glad to see him, but
+could have no talke with him, he being but just come.  Thence back and
+took up my wife, and home, where a while, and then home to supper and to
+bed.
+
+
+
+5th.  Up, and in Sir W. Batten's coach to White Hall, but the Duke being
+gone forth, I to Westminster Hall, and there spent much time till towards
+noon to and fro with people.  So by and by Mrs. Lane comes and plucks me
+by the cloak to speak to me, and I was fain to go to her shop, and
+pretending to buy some bands made her go home, and by and by followed
+her, and there did what I would with her, and so after many discourses
+and her intreating me to do something for her husband, which I promised
+to do, and buying a little band of her, which I intend to keep to, I took
+leave, there coming a couple of footboys to her with a coach to fetch her
+abroad I know not to whom.  She is great with child, and she says I must
+be godfather, but I do not intend it.  Thence by coach to the Old
+Exchange, and there hear that the Dutch are fitting their ships out
+again, which puts us to new discourse, and to alter our thoughts of the
+Dutch, as to their want of courage or force.  Thence by appointment to
+the White Horse Taverne in Lumbard Streete, and there dined with my Lord
+Rutherford, Povy, Mr. Gauden, Creed, and others, and very merry, and
+after dinner among other things Povy and I withdrew, and I plainly told
+him that I was concerned in profit, but very justly, in this business of
+the Bill that I have been these two or three days about, and he consents
+to it, and it shall be paid.  He tells me how he believes, and in part
+knows, Creed to be worth L10,000; nay, that now and then he [Povy] hath
+three or L4,000 in his hands, for which he gives the interest that the
+King gives, which is ten per cent., and that Creed do come and demand it
+every three months the interest to be paid him, which Povy looks upon as
+a cunning and mean tricke of him; but for all that, he will do and is
+very rich.  Thence to the office, where we sat and where Mr. Coventry
+came the first time after his return from sea, which I was glad of.  So
+after office to my office, and then home to supper, and to my office
+again, and then late home to bed.
+
+
+
+7th.  Lay long, then up, and among others Bagwell's wife coming to speak
+with me put new thoughts of folly into me which I am troubled at.  Thence
+after doing business at my office, I by coach to my Lady Sandwich's, and
+there dined with her, and found all well and merry.  Thence to White
+Hall, and we waited on the Duke, who looks better than he did, methinks,
+before his voyage; and, I think, a little more stern than he used to do.
+Thence to the Temple to my cozen Roger Pepys, thinking to have met the
+Doctor to have discoursed our business, but he came not, so I home, and
+there by agreement came my Lord Rutherford, Povy, Gauden, Creed, Alderman
+Backewell, about Tangier business of accounts between Rutherford and
+Gauden.  Here they were with me an hour or more, then after drinking
+away, and Povy and Creed staid and eat with me; but I was sorry I had no
+better cheer for Povy; for the foole may be useful, and is a cunning
+fellow in his way, which is a strange one, and that, that I meet not in
+any other man, nor can describe in him.  They late with me, and when gone
+my boy and I to musique, and then to bed.
+
+
+
+8th.  Up, and to my office, where all the morning busy.  At noon dined at
+home, and then to the office, where we sat all the afternoon.  In the
+evening comes my aunt and uncle Wight, Mrs. Norbury, and her daughter,
+and after them Mr. Norbury, where no great pleasure, my aunt being out of
+humour in her fine clothes, and it raining hard.  Besides, I was a little
+too bold with her about her doating on Dr. Venner.  Anon they went away,
+and I till past 12 at night at my office, and then home to bed.
+
+
+
+9th.  Up betimes and walked to Mr. Povy's, and there, not without some
+few troublesome questions of his, I got a note, and went and received
+L117 5s. of Alderman Viner upon my pretended freight of the "William" for
+Tangier, which overbears me on one side with joy and on the other to
+think of my condition if I shall be called into examination about it,
+and (though in strictness it is due) not be able to give a good account
+of it.  Home with it, and there comes Captain Taylor to me, and he and I
+did set even the business of the ship Union lately gone for Tangier,
+wherein I hope to get L50 more, for all which the Lord be praised.  At
+noon home to dinner, Mr. Hunt and his wife with us, and very pleasant.
+Then in the afternoon I carried them home by coach, and I to Westminster
+Hall, and thence to Gervas's, and there find I cannot prevail with Jane
+to go forth with me, but though I took a good occasion of going to the
+Trumpet she declined coming, which vexed me.  'Je avait grande envie
+envers elle, avec vrai amour et passion'.  Thence home and to my office
+till one in the morning, setting to rights in writing this day's two
+accounts of Povy and Taylor, and then quietly to bed.  This day I had
+several letters from several places, of our bringing in great numbers of
+Dutch ships.
+
+
+
+10th.  Lay long, at which I am ashamed, because of so many people
+observing it that know not how late I sit up, and for fear of Sir W.
+Batten's speaking of it to others, he having staid for me a good while.
+At the office all the morning, where comes my Lord Brunkard with his
+patent in his hand, and delivered it to Sir J. Minnes and myself, we
+alone being there all the day, and at noon I in his coach with him to the
+'Change, where he set me down; a modest civil person he seems to be, but
+wholly ignorant in the business of the Navy as possible, but I hope to
+make a friend of him, being a worthy man.  Thence after hearing the great
+newes of so many Dutchmen being brought in to Portsmouth and elsewhere,
+which it is expected will either put them upon present revenge or
+despair, I with Sir W. Rider and Cutler to dinner all alone to the Great
+James, where good discourse, and, I hope, occasion of getting something
+hereafter.  After dinner to White Hall to the Fishery, where the Duke was
+with us.  So home, and late at my office, writing many letters, then home
+to supper and to bed.  Yesterday come home, and this night I visited Sir
+W. Pen, who dissembles great respect and love to me, but I understand him
+very well.  Major Holmes is come from Guinny, and is now at Plymouth with
+great wealth, they say.
+
+
+
+11th (Lord's day).  Up and to church alone in the morning.  Dined at
+home, mighty pleasantly.  In the afternoon I to the French church, where
+much pleased with the three sisters of the parson, very handsome,
+especially in their noses, and sing prettily.  I heard a good sermon of
+the old man, touching duty to parents.  Here was Sir Samuel Morland and
+his lady very fine, with two footmen in new liverys (the church taking
+much notice of them), and going into their coach after sermon with great
+gazeing.  So I home, and my cozen, Mary Pepys's husband, comes after me,
+and told me that out of the money he received some months since he did
+receive 18d. too much, and did now come and give it me, which was very
+pretty.  So home, and there found Mr. Andrews and his lady, a well-bred
+and a tolerable pretty woman, and by and by Mr. Hill and to singing, and
+then to supper, then to sing again, and so good night.  To prayers and
+tonight [bed].  It is a little strange how these Psalms of Ravenscroft
+after 2 or 3 times singing prove but the same again, though good.  No
+diversity appearing at all almost.
+
+
+
+12th.  Up, and with Sir W. Batten by coach to White Hall, where all of us
+with the Duke; Mr. Coventry privately did tell me the reason of his
+advice against our pretences to the Prize Office (in his letter from
+Portsmouth), because he knew that the King and the Duke had resolved to
+put in some Parliament men that have deserved well, and that would needs
+be obliged, by putting them in.  Thence homeward, called at my
+bookseller's and bespoke some books against the year's out, and then to
+the 'Change, and so home to dinner, and then to the office, where my Lord
+Brunkard comes and reads over part of our Instructions in the Navy--and I
+expounded it to him, so he is become my disciple.  He gone, comes Cutler
+to tell us that the King of France hath forbid any canvass to be carried
+out of his kingdom, and I to examine went with him to the East India
+house to see a letter, but came too late.  So home again, and there late
+till 12 at night at my office, and then home to supper and to bed.  This
+day (to see how things are ordered in the world), I had a command from
+the Earle of Sandwich, at Portsmouth, not to be forward with Mr. Cholmly
+and Sir J. Lawson about the Mole at Tangier, because that what I do
+therein will (because of his friendship to me known) redound against him,
+as if I had done it upon his score.  So I wrote to my Lord my mistake,
+and am contented to promise never to pursue it more, which goes against
+my mind with all my heart.
+
+
+
+13th.  Lay long in bed, then up, and many people to speak with me.  Then
+to my office, and dined at noon at home, then to the office again, where
+we sat all the afternoon, and then home at night to a little supper, and
+so after my office again at 12 at night home to bed.
+
+
+
+14th.  Up, and after a while at the office, I abroad in several places,
+among others to my bookseller's, and there spoke for several books
+against New Year's day, I resolving to lay out about L7 or L8, God having
+given me some profit extraordinary of late; and bespoke also some plate,
+spoons, and forks.  I pray God keep me from too great expenses, though
+these will still be pretty good money.  Then to the 'Change, and I home
+to dinner, where Creed and Mr. Caesar, my boy's lute master, who plays
+indeed mighty finely, and after dinner I abroad, parting from Creed, and
+away to and fro, laying out or preparing for laying out more money, but I
+hope and resolve not to exceed therein, and to-night spoke for some fruit
+for the country for my father against Christmas, and where should I do
+it, but at the pretty woman's, that used to stand at the doore in
+Fanchurch Streete, I having a mind to know her.  So home, and late at my
+office, evening reckonings with Shergoll, hoping to get money by the
+business, and so away home to supper and to bed, not being very well
+through my taking cold of late, and so troubled with some wind.
+
+
+
+15th.  Called up very betimes by Mr. Cholmly, and with him a good while
+about some of his Tangier accounts; and, discoursing of the condition of
+Tangier, he did give me the whole account of the differences between
+Fitzgerald and Norwood, which were very high on both sides, but most
+imperious and base on Fitzgerald's, and yet through my Lord FitzHarding's
+means, the Duke of York is led rather to blame Norwood and to speake that
+he should be called home, than be sensible of the other.  He is a
+creature of FitzHarding's, as a fellow that may be done with what he
+will, and, himself certainly pretending to be Generall of the King's
+armies, when Monk dyeth, desires to have as few great or wise men in
+employment as he can now, but such as he can put in and keep under, which
+he do this coxcomb Fitzgerald.  It seems, of all mankind there is no man
+so led by another as the Duke is by Lord Muskerry and this FitzHarding.
+insomuch, as when the King would have him to be Privy-Purse, the Duke
+wept, and said, "But, Sir, I must have your promise, if you will have my
+dear Charles from me, that if ever you have occasion for an army again, I
+may have him with me; believing him to be the best commander of an army
+in the world."  But Mr. Cholmly thinks, as all other men I meet with do,
+that he is a very ordinary fellow.  It is strange how the Duke also do
+love naturally, and affect the Irish above the English.  He, of the
+company he carried with him to sea, took above two-thirds Irish and
+French.  He tells me the King do hate my Lord Chancellor; and that they,
+that is the King and my Lord FitzHarding, do laugh at him for a dull
+fellow; and in all this business of the Dutch war do nothing by his
+advice, hardly consulting him.  Only he is a good minister in other
+respects, and the King cannot be without him; but, above all, being the
+Duke's father-in-law, he is kept in; otherwise FitzHarding were able to
+fling down two of him.  This, all the wise and grave lords see, and
+cannot help it; but yield to it.  But he bemoans what the end of it may
+be, the King being ruled by these men, as he hath been all along since
+his coming; to the razing all the strong-holds in Scotland, and giving
+liberty to the Irish in Ireland, whom Cromwell had settled all in one
+corner; who are now able, and it is feared everyday a massacre again
+among them.  He being gone I abroad to the carrier's, to see some things
+sent away to my father against Christmas, and thence to Moorfields, and
+there up and down to several houses to drink to look for a place 'pour
+rencontrer la femme de je sais quoi' against next Monday, but could meet
+none.  So to the Coffeehouse, where great talke of the Comet seen in
+several places; and among our men at sea, and by my Lord Sandwich, to
+whom I intend to write about it to-night.  Thence home to dinner, and
+then to the office, where all the afternoon, and in the evening home to
+supper, and then to the office late, and so to bed.  This night I begun
+to burn wax candles in my closett at the office, to try the charge, and
+to see whether the smoke offends like that of tallow candles.
+
+
+
+16th.  Up, and by water to Deptford, thinking to have met 'la femme de'
+Bagwell, but failed, and having done some business at the yard, I back
+again, it being a fine fresh morning to walk.  Back again, Mr. Wayth
+walking with me to Half-Way House talking about Mr. Castle's fine knees
+lately delivered in.  In which I am well informed that they are not as
+they should be to make them knees, and I hope shall make good use of it
+to the King's service.  Thence home, and having dressed myself, to the
+'Change, and thence home to dinner, and so abroad by coach with my wife,
+and bought a looking glasse by the Old Exchange, which costs me L5 5s.
+and 6s. for the hooks.  A very fair glasse.  So toward my cozen Scott's,
+but meeting my Lady Sandwich's coach, my wife turned back to follow them,
+thinking they might, as they did, go to visit her, and I 'light and to
+Mrs. Harman, and there staid and talked in her shop with her, and much
+pleased I am with her.  We talked about Anthony Joyce's giving over trade
+and that he intends to live in lodgings, which is a very mad, foolish
+thing.  She tells me she hears and believes it is because he, being now
+begun to be called on offices, resolves not to take the new oathe, he
+having formerly taken the Covenant or Engagement, but I think he do very
+simply and will endeavour for his wife's sake to advise him therein.
+Thence to my cozen Scott's, and there met my cozen Roger Pepys, and Mrs.
+Turner, and The. and Joyce, and prated all the while, and so with the
+"corps" to church and heard a very fine sermon of the Parson of the
+parish, and so homeward with them in their coach, but finding it too late
+to go home with me, I took another coach and so home, and after a while
+at my office, home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+17th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  At noon I to
+the 'Change, and there, among others, had my first meeting with Mr.
+L'Estrange, who hath endeavoured several times to speak with me.  It is
+to get, now and then, some newes of me, which I shall, as I see cause,
+give him.  He is a man of fine conversation, I think, but I am sure most
+courtly and full of compliments.  Thence home to dinner, and then come
+the looking-glass man to set up the looking-glass I bought yesterday, in
+my dining-room, and very handsome it is.  So abroad by coach to White
+Hall, and there to the Committee of Tangier, and then the Fishing.  Mr.
+Povy did in discourse give me a rub about my late bill for money that I
+did get of him, which vexed me and stuck in my mind all this evening,
+though I know very well how to cleare myself at the worst.  So home and
+to my office, where late, and then home to bed.  Mighty talke there is of
+this Comet that is seen a'nights; and the King and Queene did sit up last
+night to see it, and did, it seems.  And to-night I thought to have done
+so too; but it is cloudy, and so no stars appear.  But I will endeavour
+it.  Mr. Gray did tell me to-night, for certain, that the Dutch, as high
+as they seem, do begin to buckle; and that one man in this Kingdom did
+tell the King that he is offered L40,000 to make a peace, and others have
+been offered money also.  It seems the taking of their Bourdeaux fleete
+thus, arose from a printed Gazette of the Dutch's boasting of fighting,
+and having beaten the English: in confidence whereof (it coming to
+Bourdeaux), all the fleete comes out, and so falls into our hands.
+
+
+
+18th (Lord's day).  To church, where, God forgive me! I spent most of my
+time in looking [on] my new Morena--[a brunette]-- at the other side of
+the church, an acquaintance of Pegg Pen's.  So home to dinner, and then
+to my chamber to read Ben Johnson's Cataline, a very excellent piece, and
+so to church again, and thence we met at the office to hire ships, being
+in great haste and having sent for several masters of ships to come to
+us.  Then home, and there Mr. Andrews and Hill come and we sung finely,
+and by and by Mr. Fuller, the Parson, and supped with me, he and a friend
+of his, but my musique friends would not stay supper.  At and after
+supper Mr. Fuller and I told many storys of apparitions and delusions
+thereby, and I out with my storys of Tom Mallard.  He gone, I a little to
+my office, and then to prayers and to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  Going to bed betimes last night we waked betimes, and from our
+people's being forced to take the key to go out to light a candle, I was
+very angry and begun to find fault with my wife for not commanding her
+servants as she ought.  Thereupon she giving me some cross answer I did
+strike her over her left eye such a blow as the poor wretch did cry out
+and was in great pain, but yet her spirit was such as to endeavour to
+bite and scratch me.  But I coying--[stroking or caressing]-- with her
+made her leave crying, and sent for butter and parsley, and friends
+presently one with another, and I up, vexed at my heart to think what I
+had done, for she was forced to lay a poultice or something to her eye
+all day, and is black, and the people of the house observed it.  But I
+was forced to rise, and up and with Sir J. Minnes to White Hall, and
+there we waited on the Duke.  And among other things Mr. Coventry took
+occasion to vindicate himself before the Duke and us, being all there,
+about the choosing of Taylor for Harwich.  Upon which the Duke did clear
+him, and did tell us that he did expect, that, after he had named a man,
+none of us shall then oppose or find fault with the man; but if we had
+anything to say, we ought to say it before he had chose him.  Sir G.
+Carteret thought himself concerned, and endeavoured to clear himself: and
+by and by Sir W. Batten did speak, knowing himself guilty, and did
+confess, that being pressed by the Council he did say what he did, that
+he was accounted a fanatique; but did not know that at that time he had
+been appointed by his Royal Highness.  To which the Duke [replied] that
+it was impossible but he must know that he had appointed him; and so it
+did appear that the Duke did mean all this while Sir W. Batten.  So by
+and by we parted, and Mr. Coventry did privately tell me that he did this
+day take this occasion to mention the business to give the Duke an
+opportunity of speaking his mind to Sir W. Batten in this business, of
+which I was heartily glad.  Thence home, and not finding Bagwell's wife
+as I expected, I to the 'Change and there walked up and down, and then
+home, and she being come I bid her go and stay at Mooregate for me, and
+after going up to my wife (whose eye is very bad, but she is in very good
+temper to me), and after dinner I to the place and walked round the
+fields again and again, but not finding her I to the 'Change, and there
+found her waiting for me and took her away, and to an alehouse, and there
+I made much of her, and then away thence and to another and endeavoured
+to caress her, but 'elle ne voulait pas', which did vex me, but I think
+it was chiefly not having a good easy place to do it upon.  So we broke
+up and parted and I to the office, where we sat hiring of ships an hour
+or two, and then to my office, and thence (with Captain Taylor home to my
+house) to give him instructions and some notice of what to his great
+satisfaction had happened to-day.  Which I do because I hope his coming
+into this office will a little cross Sir W. Batten and may do me good.
+He gone, I to supper with my wife, very pleasant, and then a little to my
+office and to bed.  My mind, God forgive me, too much running upon what I
+can 'ferais avec la femme de Bagwell demain', having promised to go to
+Deptford and 'a aller a sa maison avec son mari' when I come thither.
+
+
+
+20th.  Up and walked to Deptford, where after doing something at the yard
+I walked, without being observed, with Bagwell home to his house, and
+there was very kindly used, and the poor people did get a dinner for me
+in their fashion, of which I also eat very well.  After dinner I found
+occasion of sending him abroad, and then alone 'avec elle je tentais a
+faire ce que je voudrais et contre sa force je le faisais biens que passe
+a mon contentment'.  By and by he coming back again I took leave and
+walked home, and then there to dinner, where Dr. Fayrebrother come to see
+me and Luellin.  We dined, and I to the office, leaving them, where we
+sat all the afternoon, and I late at the office.  To supper and to the
+office again very late, then home to bed.
+
+
+
+21st.  Up, and after evening reckonings to this day with Mr. Bridges, the
+linnen draper, for callicos, I out to Doctors' Commons, where by
+agreement my cozen Roger and I did meet my cozen Dr. Tom Pepys, and there
+a great many and some high words on both sides, but I must confess I was
+troubled; first, to find my cozen Roger such a simple but well-meaning
+man as he is; next to think that my father, out of folly and vain glory,
+should now and then (as by their words I gather) be speaking how he had
+set up his son Tom with his goods and house, and now these words are
+brought against him--I fear to the depriving him of all the profit the
+poor man intended to make of the lease of his house and sale of his owne
+goods.  I intend to make a quiet end if I can with the Doctor, being a
+very foul-tounged fool and of great inconvenience to be at difference
+with such a one that will make the base noise about it that he will.
+Thence, very much vexed to find myself so much troubled about other men's
+matters, I to Mrs. Turner's, in Salsbury Court, and with her a little,
+and carried her, the porter staying for me, our eagle, which she desired
+the other day, and we were glad to be rid of her, she fouling our house
+of office mightily.  They are much pleased with her.  And thence I home
+and after dinner to the office, where Sir W. Rider and Cutler come, and
+in dispute I very high with them against their demands, I hope to no hurt
+to myself, for I was very plain with them to the best of my reason.  So
+they gone I home to supper, then to the office again and so home to bed.
+My Lord Sandwich this day writes me word that he hath seen (at
+Portsmouth) the Comet, and says it is the most extraordinary thing that
+ever he saw.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up and betimes to my office, and then out to several places, among
+others to Holborne to have spoke with one Mr. Underwood about some
+English hemp, he lies against Gray's Inn.  Thereabouts I to a barber's
+shop to have my hair cut, and there met with a copy of verses, mightily
+commended by some gentlemen there, of my Lord Mordaunt's, in excuse of
+his going to sea this late expedition, with the Duke of Yorke.  But,
+Lord! they are but sorry things; only a Lord made them.  Thence to the
+'Change; and there, among the merchants, I hear fully the news of our
+being beaten to dirt at Guinny, by De Ruyter with his fleete.  The
+particulars, as much as by Sir G. Carteret afterwards I heard, I have
+said in a letter to my Lord Sandwich this day at Portsmouth; it being
+most wholly to the utter ruine of our Royall Company, and reproach and
+shame to the whole nation, as well as justification to them in their
+doing wrong to no man as to his private [property], only takeing whatever
+is found to belong to the Company, and nothing else.  Dined at the
+Dolphin, Sir G. Carteret, Sir J. Minnes, Sir W. Batten, and I, with Sir
+W. Boreman and Sir Theophilus Biddulph and others, Commissioners of the
+Sewers, about our place below to lay masts in.  But coming a little too
+soon, I out again, and tooke boat down to Redriffe; and just in time
+within two minutes, and saw the new vessel of Sir William Petty's
+launched, the King and Duke being there.
+
+     [Pepys was wrong as to the name of Sir William Petty's new
+     doublekeeled boat.  On February 13th, 1664-65, he gives the correct
+     title, which was "The Experiment."]
+
+It swims and looks finely, and I believe will do well.  The name I think
+is Twilight, but I do not know certainly.  Coming away back immediately
+to dinner, where a great deal of good discourse, and Sir G. Carteret's
+discourse of this Guinny business, with great displeasure at the losse of
+our honour there, and do now confess that the trade brought all these
+troubles upon us between the Dutch and us.  Thence to the office and
+there sat late, then I to my office and there till 12 at night, and so
+home to bed weary.
+
+
+
+23rd.  Up and to my office, then come by appointment cozen Tom Trice to
+me, and I paid him the L20 remaining due to him upon the bond of L100
+given him by agreement November, 1663, to end the difference between us
+about my aunt's, his mother's, money.  And here, being willing to know
+the worst, I told him, "I hope now there is nothing remaining between you
+and I of future dispute."  "No," says he, "nothing at all that I know of,
+but only a small matter of about 20 or 30s. that my father Pepys received
+for me of rent due to me in the country, which I will in a day or two
+bring you an account of," and so we parted.  Dined at home upon a good
+turkey which Mr. Sheply sent us, then to the office all the afternoon,
+Mr. Cutler and others coming to me about business.  I hear that the Dutch
+have prepared a fleete to go the backway to the Streights, where without
+doubt they will master our fleete.  This put to that of Guinny makes me
+fear them mightily, and certainly they are a most wise people, and
+careful of their business.  The King of France, they say, do declare
+himself obliged to defend them, and lays claim by his Embassador to the
+wines we have taken from the Dutch Bourdeaux men, and more, it is doubted
+whether the Swede will be our friend or no.  Pray God deliver us out of
+these troubles!  This day Sir W. Batten sent and afterwards spoke to me,
+to have me and my wife come and dine with them on Monday next: which is a
+mighty condescension in them, and for some great reason I am sure, or
+else it pleases God by my late care of business to make me more
+considerable even with them than I am sure they would willingly owne me
+to be.  God make me thankfull and carefull to preserve myself so, for I
+am sure they hate me and it is hope or fear that makes them flatter me.
+It being a bright night, which it has not been a great while, I purpose
+to endeavour to be called in the morning to see the Comet, though I fear
+we shall not see it, because it rises in the east but 16 degrees, and
+then the houses will hinder us.
+
+
+
+24th.  Having sat up all night to past two o'clock this morning, our
+porter, being appointed, comes and tells us that the bellman tells him
+that the star is seen upon Tower Hill; so I, that had been all night
+setting in order all my old papers in my chamber, did leave off all, and
+my boy and I to Tower Hill, it being a most fine, bright moonshine night,
+and a great frost; but no Comet to be seen.  So after running once round
+the Hill, I and Tom, we home and then to bed.  Rose about 9 o'clock and
+then to the office, where sitting all the morning.  At noon to the
+'Change, to the Coffee-house; and there heard Sir Richard Ford tell the
+whole story of our defeat at Guinny.  Wherein our men are guilty of the
+most horrid cowardice and perfidiousness, as he says and tells it, that
+ever Englishmen were.  Captain Raynolds, that was the only commander of
+any of the King's ships there, was shot at by De Ruyter, with a bloody
+flag flying.  He, instead of opposing (which, indeed, had been to no
+purpose, but only to maintain honour), did poorly go on board himself, to
+ask what De Ruyter would have; and so yielded to whatever Ruyter would
+desire.  The King and Duke are highly vexed at it, it seems, and the
+business deserves it.  Thence home to dinner, and then abroad to buy some
+things, and among others to my bookseller's, and there saw several books
+I spoke for, which are finely bound and good books to my great content.
+So home and to my office, where late.  This evening I being informed did
+look and saw the Comet, which is now, whether worn away or no I know not,
+but appears not with a tail, but only is larger and duller than any other
+star, and is come to rise betimes, and to make a great arch, and is gone
+quite to a new place in the heavens than it was before: but I hope in a
+clearer night something more will be seen.  So home to bed.
+
+
+
+25th (Lord's day and Christmas day).  Up (my wife's eye being ill still
+of the blow I did in a passion give her on Monday last) to church alone,
+where Mr. Mills, a good sermon.  To dinner at home, where very pleasant
+with my wife and family.  After dinner I to Sir W. Batten's, and there
+received so much good usage (as I have of late done) from him and my
+Lady, obliging me and my wife, according to promise, to come and dine
+with them to-morrow with our neighbours, that I was in pain all the day,
+and night too after, to know how to order the business of my wife's not
+going, and by discourse receive fresh instances of Sir J. Minnes's folly
+in complaining to Sir G. Carteret of Sir W. Batten and me for some family
+offences, such as my having of a stopcock to keepe the water from them,
+which vexes me, but it would more but that Sir G. Carteret knows him very
+well.  Thence to the French church, but coming too late I returned and to
+Mr. Rawlinson's church, where I heard a good sermon of one that I
+remember was at Paul's with me, his name Maggett; and very great store of
+fine women there is in this church, more than I know anywhere else about
+us.  So home and to my chamber, looking over and setting in order my
+papers and books, and so to supper, and then to prayers and to bed.
+
+
+
+26th.  Up, and with Sir W. Pen to White Hall, and there with the rest did
+our usual business before the Duke, and then with Sir W. Batten back and
+to his house, where I by sicknesse excused my wife's coming to them
+to-day.  Thence I to the Coffeehouse, where much good discourse, and all
+the opinion now is that the Dutch will avoid fighting with us at home,
+but do all the hurte they can to us abroad; which it may be they may for
+a while, but that, I think, cannot support them long.  Thence to Sir W.
+Batten's, where Mr. Coventry and all our families here, women and all,
+and Sir R. Ford and his, and a great feast and good discourse and merry,
+there all the afternoon and evening till late, only stepped in to see my
+wife, then to my office to enter my day's work, and so home to bed, where
+my people and wife innocently at cards very merry, and I to bed, leaving
+them to their sport and blindman's buff.
+
+
+
+27th.  My people came to bed, after their sporting, at four o'clock in
+the morning; I up at seven, and to Deptford and Woolwich in a gally; the
+Duke calling to me out of the barge in which the King was with him going
+down the river, to know whither I was going.  I told him to Woolwich, but
+was troubled afterward I should say no farther, being in a gally, lest he
+think me too profuse in my journeys.  Did several businesses, and then
+back again by two o'clock to Sir J. Minnes's to dinner by appointment,
+where all yesterday's company but Mr. Coventry, who could not come.  Here
+merry, and after an hour's chat I down to the office, where busy late,
+and then home to supper and to bed.  The Comet appeared again to-night,
+but duskishly.  I went to bed, leaving my wife and all her folks, and
+Will also, too, come to make Christmas gambolls to-night.
+
+
+
+28th.  I waked in the morning about 6 o'clock and my wife not come to
+bed; I lacked a pot, but there was none, and bitter cold, so was forced
+to rise and piss in the chimney, and to bed again.  Slept a little
+longer, and then hear my people coming up, and so I rose, and my wife to
+bed at eight o'clock in the morning, which vexed me a little, but I
+believe there was no hurt in it all, but only mirthe, therefore took no
+notice.  I abroad with Sir W. Batten to the Council Chamber, where all of
+us to discourse about the way of measuring ships and the freight fit to
+give for them by the tun, where it was strange methought to hear so poor
+discourses among the Lords themselves, and most of all to see how a
+little empty matter delivered gravely by Sir W. Pen was taken mighty
+well, though nothing in the earth to the purpose.  But clothes,
+I perceive more and more every day, is a great matter.  Thence home
+with Sir W. Batten by coach, and I home to dinner, finding my wife still
+in bed.  After dinner abroad, and among other things visited my Lady
+Sandwich, and was there, with her and the young ladies, playing at cards
+till night.  Then home and to my office late, then home to bed, leaving
+my wife and people up to more sports, but without any great satisfaction
+to myself therein.
+
+
+
+29th.  Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning.  Then whereas
+I should have gone and dined with Sir W. Pen (and the rest of the
+officers at his house), I pretended to dine with my Lady Sandwich and so
+home, where I dined well, and began to wipe and clean my books in my
+chamber in order to the settling of my papers and things there
+thoroughly, and then to the office, where all the afternoon sitting, and
+in the evening home to supper, and then to my work again.
+
+
+
+30th.  Lay very long in bed with my wife, it being very cold, and my wife
+very full of a resolution to keepe within doors, not so much as to go to
+church or see my Lady Sandwich before Easter next, which I am willing
+enough to, though I seem the contrary.  This and other talke kept me a-
+bed till almost 10 a'clock.  Then up and made an end of looking over all
+my papers and books and taking everything out of my chamber to have all
+made clean.  At noon dined, and after dinner forth to several places to
+pay away money, to clear myself in all the world, and, among others, paid
+my bookseller L6 for books I had from him this day, and the silversmith
+L22 18s. for spoons, forks, and sugar box, and being well pleased with
+seeing my business done to my mind as to my meeting with people and
+having my books ready for me, I home and to my office, and there did
+business late, and then home to supper, prayers, and to bed.
+
+
+
+31st.  At the office all the morning, and after dinner there again,
+dispatched first my letters, and then to my accounts, not of the month
+but of the whole yeare also, and was at it till past twelve at night, it
+being bitter cold; but yet I was well satisfied with my worke, and, above
+all, to find myself, by the great blessing of God, worth L1349, by which,
+as I have spent very largely, so I have laid up above L500 this yeare
+above what I was worth this day twelvemonth.  The Lord make me for ever
+thankful to his holy name for it!  Thence home to eat a little and so to
+bed.  Soon as ever the clock struck one, I kissed my wife in the kitchen
+by the fireside, wishing her a merry new yeare, observing that I believe
+I was the first proper wisher of it this year, for I did it as soon as
+ever the clock struck one.
+
+So ends the old yeare, I bless God, with great joy to me, not only from
+my having made so good a yeare of profit, as having spent L420 and laid
+up L540 and upwards; but I bless God I never have been in so good plight
+as to my health in so very cold weather as this is, nor indeed in any hot
+weather, these ten years, as I am at this day, and have been these four
+or five months.  But I am at a great losse to know whether it be my
+hare's foote, or taking every morning of a pill of turpentine, or my
+having left off the wearing of a gowne.  My family is, my wife, in good
+health, and happy with her; her woman Mercer, a pretty, modest, quiett
+mayde; her chambermayde Besse, her cook mayde Jane, the little girl
+Susan, and my boy, which I have had about half a yeare, Tom Edwards,
+which I took from the King's chappell, and a pretty and loving quiett
+family I have as any man in England.  My credit in the world and my
+office grows daily, and I am in good esteeme with everybody, I think.
+My troubles of my uncle's estate pretty well over; but it comes to be but
+of little profit to us, my father being much supported by my purse.  But
+great vexations remain upon my father and me from my brother Tom's death
+and ill condition, both to our disgrace and discontent, though no great
+reason for either.  Publique matters are all in a hurry about a Dutch
+warr.  Our preparations great; our provocations against them great; and,
+after all our presumption, we are now afeard as much of them, as we
+lately contemned them.  Every thing else in the State quiett, blessed be
+God!  My Lord Sandwich at sea with the fleete at Portsmouth; sending some
+about to cruise for taking of ships, which we have done to a great
+number.  This Christmas I judged it fit to look over all my papers and
+books; and to tear all that I found either boyish or not to be worth
+keeping, or fit to be seen, if it should please God to take me away
+suddenly.  Among others, I found these two or three notes, which I
+thought fit to keep.
