+
+May 1st.  Up and to Mr. Povy's, and by his bedside talked a good while.
+Among other things he do much insist I perceive upon the difficulty of
+getting of money, and would fain have me to concur in the thinking of some
+other way of disposing of the place of Treasurer to one Mr. Bell, but I
+did seem slight of it, and resolved to try to do the best or to give it
+up.  Thence to the Duke of Albemarle, where I was sorry to find myself to
+come a little late, and so home, and at noon going to the 'Change I met my
+Lord Brunkard, Sir Robert Murry, Deane Wilkins, and Mr. Hooke, going by
+coach to Colonell Blunts to dinner.  So they stopped and took me with
+them.  Landed at the Tower-wharf, and thence by water to Greenwich; and
+there coaches met us; and to his house, a very stately sight for situation
+and brave plantations; and among others, a vineyard, the first that ever I
+did see.  No extraordinary dinner, nor any other entertainment good; but
+only after dinner to the tryall of some experiments about making of
+coaches easy.  And several we tried; but one did prove mighty easy (not
+here for me to describe, but the whole body of the coach lies upon one
+long spring), and we all, one after another, rid in it; and it is very
+fine and likely to take.  These experiments were the intent of their
+coming, and pretty they are.  Thence back by coach to Greenwich, and in
+his pleasure boat to Deptford, and there stopped and in to Mr.
+Evelyn's,--[Sayes Court, the well-known residence of John Evelyn.]--which
+is a most beautiful place; but it being dark and late, I staid not; but
+Deane Wilkins and Mr. Hooke and I walked to Redriffe; and noble discourse
+all day long did please me, and it being late did take them to my house to
+drink, and did give them some sweetmeats, and thence sent them with a
+lanthorn home, two worthy persons as are in England, I think, or the
+world.  So to my Lady Batten, where my wife is tonight, and so after some
+merry talk home and to bed.
+
+2nd.  Up and to the office all day, where sat late, and then to the office
+again, and by and by Sir W. Batten and my Lady and my wife and I by
+appointment yesterday (my Lady Pen failed us, who ought to have been with
+us) to the Rhenish winehouse at the Steelyard, and there eat a couple of
+lobsters and some prawns, and pretty merry, especially to see us four
+together, while my wife and my Lady did never intend ever to be together
+again after a year's distance between one another.  Hither by and by come
+Sir Richard Ford and also Mrs. Esther, that lived formerly with my Lady
+Batten, now well married to a priest, come to see my Lady. Thence toward
+evening home, and to my office, where late, and then home to supper and to
+bed.
+
+3rd.  Up betimes and walked to Sir Ph. Warwicke's, where a long time with
+him in his chamber alone talking of Sir G. Carteret's business, and the
+abuses he puts on the nation by his bad payments to both our vexations,
+but no hope of remedy for ought I see.  Thence to my Lord Ashly to a
+Committee of Tangier for my Lord Rutherford's accounts, and that done we
+to my Lord Treasurer's, where I did receive my Lord's warrant to Sir R.
+Long for drawing a warrant for my striking of tallys.  So to the Inne
+again by Cripplegate, expecting my mother's coming to towne, but she is
+not come this weeke neither, the coach being too full.  So to the 'Change
+and thence home to dinner, and so out to Gresham College, and saw a cat
+killed with the Duke of Florence's poyson, and saw it proved that the oyle
+of tobacco
+
+     ["Mr. Daniel Coxe read an account of the effects of tobacco-oil
+     distilled in a retort, by one drop of which given at the mouth he
+     had killed a lusty cat, which being opened, smelled strongly of the
+     oil, and the blood of the heart more strongly than the rest ....
+     One drop of the Florentine 'oglio di tobacco' being again given to a
+     dog, it proved stupefying and vomitive, as before" (Birch's "History
+     of the Royal Society," vol, ii., pp. 42, 43).]
+
+drawn by one of the Society do the same effect, and is judged to be the
+same thing with the poyson both in colour and smell, and effect.  I saw
+also an abortive child preserved fresh in spirits of salt.  Thence parted,
+and to White Hall to the Councilchamber about an order touching the Navy
+(our being empowered to commit seamen or Masters that do not, being hired
+or pressed, follow their worke), but they could give us none. So a little
+vexed at that, because I put in the memorial to the Duke of Albemarle
+alone under my own hand, home, and after some time at the office home to
+bed.  My Lord Chief Justice Hide did die suddenly this week, a day or two
+ago, of an apoplexy.
+
+4th.  Up, and to the office, where we sat busy all the morning.  At noon
+home to dinner, and then to the office again all day till almost midnight,
+and then, weary, home to supper and to bed.
+
+5th.  Up betimes, and by water to Westminster, there to speak the first
+time with Sir Robert Long, to give him my Privy Seal and my Lord
+Treasurer's order for Tangier Tallys; he received me kindly enough. Thence
+home by water, and presently down to Woolwich and back to Blackewall, and
+there, viewed the Breach, in order to a Mast Docke, and so to Deptford to
+the Globe, where my Lord Brunkard, Sir J. Minnes, Sir W. Batten, and
+Commissioner Pett were at dinner, having been at the Breach also, but they
+find it will be too great charge to make use of it. After dinner to Mr.
+Evelyn's; he being abroad, we walked in his garden, and a lovely noble
+ground he hath indeed.  And among other rarities, a hive of bees, so as
+being hived in glass, you may see the bees making their honey and combs
+mighty pleasantly.  Thence home, and I by and by to Mr. Povy's to see him,
+who is yet in his chamber not well, and thence by his advice to one
+Lovett's, a varnisher, to see his manner of new varnish, but found not him
+at home, but his wife, a very beautiful woman, who shewed me much variety
+of admirable work, and is in order to my having of some papers fitted with
+his lines for my use for tables and the like.  I know not whether I was
+more pleased with the thing, or that I was shewed it by her, but resolved
+I am to have some made.  So home to my office late, and then to supper and
+to bed.  My wife tells me that she hears that my poor aunt James hath had
+her breast cut off here in town, her breast having long been out of order.
+This day, after I had suffered my owne hayre to grow long, in order to
+wearing it, I find the convenience of periwiggs is so great, that I have
+cut off all short again, and will keep to periwiggs.
+
+6th.  Up, and all day at the office, but a little at dinner, and there
+late till past 12.  So home to bed, pleased as I always am after I have
+rid a great deal of work, it being very satisfactory to me.
+
+7th (Lord's day).  Up, and to church with my wife.  Home and dined. After
+dinner come Mr. Andrews and spent the afternoon with me, about our Tangier
+business of the victuals, and then parted, and after sermon comes Mr. Hill
+and a gentleman, a friend of his, one Mr. Scott, that sings well also, and
+then comes Mr. Andrews, and we all sung and supped, and then to sing again
+and passed the Sunday very pleasantly and soberly, and so I to my office a
+little, and then home to prayers and to bed.  Yesterday begun my wife to
+learn to, limn of one Browne,
+
+     [Alexander Browne, a printseller, who taught drawing, and practised
+     it with success.  He published in 1669, "Ars Pictoria, or an Academy
+     treating of Drawing, Painting, Limning and Etching."]
+
+which Mr. Hill helps her to, and, by her beginning upon some eyes, I think
+she will [do] very fine things, and I shall take great delight in it.
+
+8th.  Up very betimes, and did much business before I went out with
+several persons, among others Captain Taylor, who would leave the
+management of most of his business now he is going to Harwich, upon me,
+and if I can get money by it, which I believe it will, I shall take some
+of it upon me.  Thence with Sir W. Batten to the Duke of Albemarle's and
+there did much business, and then to the 'Change, and thence off with Sir
+W. Warren to an ordinary, where we dined and sat talking of most usefull
+discourse till 5 in the afternoon, and then home, and very busy till late,
+and so home and to bed.
+
+9th.  Up betimes, and to my business at the office, where all the morning.
+At noon comes Mrs. The. Turner, and dines with us, and my wife's
+painting-master staid and dined; and I take great pleasure in thinking
+that my wife will really come to something in that business. Here dined
+also Luellin.  So after dinner to my office, and there very busy till
+almost midnight, and so home to supper and to bed.  This day we have newes
+of eight ships being taken by some of ours going into the Texel, their two
+men of warr, that convoyed them, running in.  They come from about
+Ireland, round to the north.
+
+10th.  Up betimes, and abroad to the Cocke-Pitt, where the Duke [of
+Albemarle] did give Sir W. Batten and me an account of the late taking of
+eight ships, and of his intent to come back to the Gunfleete--[The
+Gunfleet Sand off the Essex coast.]--with the fleete presently; which
+creates us much work and haste therein, against the fleete comes.  So to
+Mr. Povy, and after discourse with him home, and thence to the Guard in
+Southwarke, there to get some soldiers, by the Duke's order, to go keep
+pressmen on board our ships.  So to the 'Change and did much business, and
+then home to dinner, and there find my poor mother come out of the country
+today in good health, and I am glad to see her, but my business, which I
+am sorry for, keeps me from paying the respect I ought to her at her first
+coming, she being grown very weak in her judgement, and doating again in
+her discourse, through age and some trouble in her family.  I left her and
+my wife to go abroad to buy something, and then I to my office.  In the
+evening by appointment to Sir W. Warren and Mr. Deering at a taverne hard
+by with intent to do some good upon their agreement in a great bargain of
+planks.  So home to my office again, and then to supper and to bed, my
+mother being in bed already.
+
+11th.  Up betimes, and at the office all the morning.  At home dined, and
+then to the office all day till late at night, and then home to supper,
+weary with business, and to bed.
+
+12th.  Up betimes, and find myself disappointed in my receiving presently
+of my L50 I hoped for sure of Mr. Warren upon the benefit of my press
+warrant, but he promises to make it good.  So by water to the Exchequer,
+and there up and down through all the offices to strike my tallys for
+L17,500, which methinks is so great a testimony of the goodness of God to
+me, that I, from a mean clerke there, should come to strike tallys myself
+for that sum, and in the authority that I do now, is a very stupendous
+mercy to me.  I shall have them struck to-morrow.  But to see how every
+little fellow looks after his fees, and to get what he can for everything,
+is a strange consideration; the King's fees that he must pay himself for
+this L17,500 coming to above L100.  Thence called my wife at Unthanke's to
+the New Exchange and elsewhere to buy a lace band for me, but we did not
+buy, but I find it so necessary to have some handsome clothes that I
+cannot but lay out some money thereupon.  To the 'Change and thence to my
+watchmaker, where he has put it [i.e. the watch] in order, and a good and
+brave piece it is, and he tells me worth L14 which is a greater present
+than I valued it.  So home to dinner, and after dinner comes several
+people, among others my cozen, Thomas Pepys, of Hatcham,
+
+     [Thomas Pepys, of Hatcham Barnes, Surrey, Master of the Jewel House
+     to Charles II. and James II.]
+
+to receive some money, of my Lord Sandwich's, and there I paid him what
+was due to him upon my uncle's score, but, contrary to my expectation, did
+get him to sign and seale to my sale of lands for payment of debts. So
+that now I reckon myself in better condition by L100 in my content than I
+was before, when I was liable to be called to an account and others after
+me by my uncle Thomas or his children for every foot of land we had sold
+before.  This I reckon a great good fortune in the getting of this done.
+He gone, come Mr. Povy, Dr. Twisden, and Mr. Lawson about settling my
+security in the paying of the L4000 ordered to Sir J. Lawson. So a little
+abroad and then home, and late at my office and closet settling this day's
+disordering of my papers, then to supper and to bed.
+
+13th.  Up, and all day in some little gruntings of pain, as I used to have
+from winde, arising I think from my fasting so long, and want of exercise,
+and I think going so hot in clothes, the weather being hot, and the same
+clothes I wore all winter.  To the 'Change after office, and received my
+watch from the watchmaker, and a very fine [one] it is, given me by
+Briggs, the Scrivener.  Home to dinner, and then I abroad to the Atturney
+Generall, about advice upon the Act for Land Carriage, which he desired
+not to give me before I had received the King's and Council's order
+therein; going home bespoke the King's works, will cost me 50s., I
+believe.  So home and late at my office.  But, Lord!  to see how much of
+my old folly and childishnesse hangs upon me still that I cannot forbear
+carrying my watch in my hand in the coach all this afternoon, and seeing
+what o'clock it is one hundred times; and am apt to think with myself, how
+could I be so long without one; though I remember since, I had one, and
+found it a trouble, and resolved to carry one no more about me while I
+lived.  So home to supper and to bed, being troubled at a letter from Mr.
+Gholmly from Tangier, wherein he do advise me how people are at worke to
+overthrow our Victualling business, by which I shall lose L300 per annum,
+I am much obliged to him for this, secret kindnesse, and concerned to
+repay it him in his own concernments and look after this.
+
+14th (Lord's day).  Up, and with my wife to church, it being Whitsunday;
+my wife very fine in a new yellow bird's-eye hood, as the fashion is now.
+We had a most sorry sermon; so home to dinner, my mother having her new
+suit brought home, which makes her very fine.  After dinner my wife and
+she and Mercer to Thomas Pepys's wife's christening of his first child,
+and I took a coach, and to Wanstead, the house where Sir H. Mildmay died,
+and now Sir Robert Brookes lives, having bought it of the Duke of Yorke,
+it being forfeited to him.  A fine seat, but an old-fashioned house; and
+being not full of people looks desolately.  Thence to Walthamstow, where
+(failing at the old place) Sir W. Batten by and by come home, I walking up
+and down the house and garden with my Lady very pleasantly, then to supper
+very merry, and then back by coach by dark night.  I all the afternoon in
+the coach reading the treasonous book of the Court of King James, printed
+a great while ago, and worth reading, though ill intended. As soon as I
+come home, upon a letter from the Duke of Albemarle, I took boat at about
+12 at night, and down the River in a gally, my boy and I, down to the Hope
+and so up again, sleeping and waking, with great pleasure, my business to
+call upon every one of
+
+15th.  Our victualling ships to set them agoing, and so home, and after
+dinner to the King's playhouse, all alone, and saw "Love's Maistresse."
+Some pretty things and good variety in it, but no or little fancy in it.
+Thence to the Duke of Albemarle to give him account of my day's works,
+where he shewed me letters from Sir G. Downing, of four days' date, that
+the Dutch are come out and joyned, well-manned, and resolved to board our
+best ships, and fight for certain they will.  Thence to the Swan at
+Herbert's, and there the company of Sarah a little while, and so away and
+called at the Harp and Ball, where the mayde, Mary, is very
+'formosa'--[handsome]--;  but, Lord! to see in what readiness I am, upon
+the expiring of my vowes this day, to begin to run into all my pleasures
+and neglect of business.  Thence home, and being sleepy to bed.
+
+16th.  Up betimes, and to the Duke of Albemarle with an account of my
+yesterday's actions in writing.  So back to the office, where all the
+morning very busy.  After dinner by coach to see and speak with Mr. Povy,
+and after little discourse back again home, where busy upon letters till
+past 12 at night, and so home to supper and to bed, weary.
+
+17th.  Up, and by appointment to a meeting of Sir John Lawson and Mr.
+Cholmly's atturney and Mr. Povy at the Swan taverne at Westminster to
+settle their business about my being secured in the payment of money to
+Sir J. Lawson in the other's absence.  Thence at Langford's, where I never
+was since my brother died there.  I find my wife and Mercer, having with
+him agreed upon two rich silk suits for me, which is fit for me to have,
+but yet the money is too much, I doubt, to lay out altogether; but it is
+done, and so let it be, it being the expense of the world that I can the
+best bear with and the worst spare.  Thence home, and after dinner to the
+office, where late, and so home to supper and to bed.  Sir J. Minnes and I
+had an angry bout this afternoon with Commissioner Pett about his
+neglecting his duty and absenting himself, unknown to us, from his place
+at Chatham, but a most false man I every day find him more and more, and
+in this very full of equivocation.  The fleete we doubt not come to
+Harwich by this time.  Sir W. Batten is gone down this day thither, and
+the Duchesse of Yorke went down yesterday to meet the Duke.
+
+18th.  Up, and with Sir J. Minnes to the Duke of Albemarle, where we did
+much business, and I with good content to myself; among other things we
+did examine Nixon and Stanesby, about their late running from two
+Dutchmen;
+
+     [Captain Edward Nixon, of the "Elizabeth," and Captain John
+     Stanesby, of the "Eagle."  John Lanyon wrote to the Navy
+     Commissioners from Plymouth, May 16th: "Understands from the seamen
+     that the conduct of Captains Nixon and Stanesby in their late
+     engagement with two Dutch capers was very foul; the night they left
+     the Dutch, no lights were put out as formerly, and though in sight
+     of them in the morning, they still kept on their way; the Eagle lay
+     by some time, and both the enemy's ships plied on her, but finding
+     the Elizabeth nearly out of sight she also made sail; it is true the
+     wind and sea were high, but there were no sufficient reasons for
+     such endeavours to get from them." ("Calendar of State Papers,"
+     Domestic, 1664-65, p. 367).  Both captains were tried; Nixon was
+     condemned to be shot but Stanesby was cleared, and Charnock asserts
+     that he was commander the "Happy Return" in 1672.]
+
+for which they are committed to a vessel to carry them to the fleete to be
+tried.  A most fowle unhandsome thing as ever was heard, for plain
+cowardice on Nixon's part.  Thence with the Duke of Albemarle in his coach
+to my Lord Treasurer, and there was before the King (who ever now calls me
+by my name) and Lord Chancellor, and many other great Lords, discoursing
+about insuring of some of the King's goods, wherein the King accepted of
+my motion that we should; and so away, well pleased.  To the office, and
+dined, and then to the office again, and abroad to speak with Sir G.
+Carteret; but, Lord! to see how fraile a man I am, subject to my vanities,
+that can hardly forbear, though pressed with never so much business, my
+pursuing of pleasure, but home I got, and there very busy very late.
+Among other things consulting with Mr. Andrews about our Tangier business,
+wherein we are like to meet with some trouble, and my Lord Bellasses's
+endeavour to supplant us, which vexes my mind; but, however, our
+undertaking is so honourable that we shall stand a tug for it I think.  So
+home to supper and to bed.
+
+19th.  Up, and to White Hall, where the Committee for Tangier met, and
+there, though the case as to the merit of it was most plain and most of
+the company favourable to our business, yet it was with much ado that I
+got the business not carried fully against us, but put off to another day,
+my Lord Arlington being the great man in it, and I was sorry to be found
+arguing so greatly against him.  The business I believe will in the end be
+carried against us, and the whole business fall; I must therefore
+endeavour the most I can to get money another way.  It vexed me to see
+Creed so hot against it, but I cannot much blame him, having never
+declared to him my being concerned in it.  But that that troubles me most
+is my Lord Arlington calls to me privately and asks me whether I had ever
+said to any body that I desired to leave this employment, having not time
+to look after it.  I told him, No, for that the thing being settled it
+will not require much time to look after it.  He told me then he would do
+me right to the King, for he had been told so, which I desired him to do,
+and by and by he called me to him again and asked me whether I had no
+friend about the Duke, asking me (I making a stand) whether Mr. Coventry
+was not my friend.  I told him I had received many friendships from him.
+He then advised me to procure that the Duke would in his next letter write
+to him to continue me in my place and remove any obstruction; which I told
+him I would, and thanked him.  So parted, vexed at the first and amazed at
+this business of my Lord Arlington's.  Thence to the Exchequer, and there
+got my tallys for L17,500, the first payment I ever had out of the
+Exchequer, and at the Legg spent 14s. upon my old acquaintance, some of
+them the clerks, and away home with my tallys in a coach, fearful every
+step of having one of them fall out, or snatched from me.  Being come
+home, I much troubled out again by coach (for company taking Sir W. Warren
+with me), intending to have spoke to my Lord Arlington to have known the
+bottom of it, but missed him, and afterwards discoursing the thing as a
+confidant to Sir W. Warren, he did give me several good hints and
+principles not to do anything suddenly, but consult my pillow upon that
+and every great thing of my life, before I resolve anything in it. Away
+back home, and not being fit for business I took my wife and Mercer down
+by water to Greenwich at 8 at night, it being very fine and cool and
+moonshine afterward.  Mighty pleasant passage it was; there eat a cake or
+two, and so home by 10 or 11 at night, and then to bed, my mind not
+settled what to think.
+
+20th.  Up, and to my office, where busy all the morning.  At noon dined at
+home, and to my office, very busy.
+
+21st.  Till past one, Lord's day, in the morning writing letters to the
+fleete and elsewhere, and my mind eased of much business, home to bed and
+slept till 8.  So up, and this day is brought home one of my new silk
+suits, the plain one, but very rich camelott and noble.  I tried it and it
+pleases me, but did not wear it, being I would not go out today to church.
+So laid it by, and my mind changed, thinking to go see my Lady Sandwich,
+and I did go a little way, but stopped and returned home to dinner, after
+dinner up to my chamber to settle my Tangier accounts, and then to my
+office, there to do the like with other papers.  In the evening home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up, and down to the ships, which now are hindered from going down
+to the fleete (to our great sorrow and shame) with their provisions, the
+wind being against them.  So to the Duke of Albemarle, and thence down by
+water to Deptford, it being Trinity Monday, and so the day of choosing the
+Master of Trinity House for the next yeare, where, to my great content, I
+find that, contrary to the practice and design of Sir W. Batten, to breake
+the rule and custom of the Company in choosing their Masters by
+succession, he would have brought in Sir W. Rider or Sir W. Pen, over the
+head of Hurleston (who is a knave too besides, I believe), the younger
+brothers did all oppose it against the elder, and with great heat did
+carry it for Hurleston, which I know will vex him to the heart. Thence,
+the election being over, to church, where an idle sermon from that
+conceited fellow, Dr. Britton, saving that his advice to unity, and laying
+aside all envy and enmity among them was very apposite.  Thence walked to
+Redriffe, and so to the Trinity House, and a great dinner, as is usual,
+and so to my office, where busy all the afternoon till late, and then home
+to bed, being much troubled in mind for several things, first, for the
+condition of the fleete for lacke of provisions, the blame this office
+lies under and the shame that they deserve to have brought upon them for
+the ships not being gone out of the River, and then for my business of
+Tangier which is not settled, and lastly for fear that I am not observed
+to have attended the office business of late as much as I ought to do,
+though there has been nothing but my attendance on Tangier that has
+occasioned my absence, and that of late not much.
+
+23rd.  Up, and at the office busy all the morning.  At noon dined alone,
+my wife and mother being gone by invitation to dine with my mother's old
+servant Mr. Cordery, who made them very welcome.  So to Mr. Povy's, where
+after a little discourse about his business I home again, and late at the
+office busy.  Late comes Sir Arthur Ingram to my office, to tell me that,
+by letters from Amsterdam of the 28th of this month (their style),
+
+     [The new style was adopted by most of the countries of Europe long
+     before it was legalized in England, although Russia still retains
+     the old style.]
+
+the Dutch fleete, being about 100 men-of-war, besides fire-ships, &c., did
+set out upon the 23rd and 24th inst.  Being divided into seven squadrons;
+viz., 1.  Generall Opdam.  2.  Cottenar, of Rotterdam. 3.  Trump.  4.
+Schram, of Horne.  5.  Stillingworth, of Freezland. 6.  Everson.   7.  One
+other, not named, of Zealand.
+
+24th.  Up, and by 4 o'clock in the morning, and with W. Hewer, there till
+12 without intermission putting some papers in order.  Thence to the
+Coffee-house with Creed, where I have not been a great while, where all
+the newes is of the Dutch being gone out, and of the plague growing upon
+us in this towne; and of remedies against it: some saying one thing, some
+another.  So home to dinner, and after dinner Creed and I to Colvill's,
+thinking to shew him all the respect we could by obliging him in carrying
+him 5 tallys of L5000 to secure him for so much credit he has formerly
+given Povy to Tangier, but he, like an impertinent fool, cavills at it,
+but most ignorantly that ever I heard man in my life.  At last Mr. Viner
+by chance comes, who I find a very moderate man, but could not persuade
+the fool to reason, but brought away the tallys again, and so vexed to my
+office, where late, and then home to my supper and to bed.
+
+25th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon dined at
+home, and then to the office all the afternoon, busy till almost 12 at
+night, and then home to supper and to bed.
+
+26th.  Up at 4 o'clock, and all the morning in my office with W. Hewer
+finishing my papers that were so long out of order, and at noon to my
+bookseller's, and there bespoke a book or two, and so home to dinner,
+where Creed dined with me, and he and I afterwards to Alderman Backewell's
+to try him about supplying us with money, which he denied at first and
+last also, saving that he spoke a little fairer at the end than before.
+But the truth is I do fear I shall have a great deale of trouble in
+getting of money.  Thence home, and in the evening by water to the Duke of
+Albemarle, whom I found mightily off the hooks, that the ships are not
+gone out of the River; which vexed me to see, insomuch that I am afeard
+that we must expect some change or addition of new officers brought upon
+us, so that I must from this time forward resolve to make myself appear
+eminently serviceable in attending at my office duly and no where else,
+which makes me wish with all my heart that I had never anything to do with
+this business of Tangier.  After a while at my office, home to supper
+vexed, and to bed.
+
+27th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning; at noon dined at
+home, and then to my office again,, where late, and so to bed, with my
+mind full of fears for the business of this office and troubled with that
+of Tangier, concerning which Mr. Povy was with me, but do give me little
+help, but more reason of being troubled.  So that were it not for our
+Plymouth business I would be glad to be rid of it.
+
+28th (Lord's day).  By water to the Duke of Albemarle, where I hear that
+Nixon is condemned to be shot to death, for his cowardice, by a Council of
+War.  Went to chapel and heard a little musique, and there met with Creed,
+and with him a little while walking, and to Wilkinson's for me to drink,
+being troubled with winde, and at noon to Sir Philip Warwicke's to dinner,
+where abundance of company come in unexpectedly; and here I saw one pretty
+piece of household stuff, as the company increaseth, to put a larger leaf
+upon an oval table.  After dinner much good discourse with Sir Philip, who
+I find, I think, a most pious, good man, and a professor of a
+philosophical manner of life and principles like Epictetus, whom he cites
+in many things.  Thence to my Lady Sandwich's, where, to my shame, I had
+not been a great while before.  Here, upon my telling her a story of my
+Lord Rochester's running away on Friday night last with Mrs. Mallett, the
+great beauty and fortune of the North, who had supped at White Hall with
+Mrs. Stewart, and was going home to her lodgings with her grandfather, my
+Lord Haly, by coach; and was at Charing Cross seized on by both horse and
+foot men, and forcibly taken from him, and put into a coach with six
+horses, and two women provided to receive her, and carried away.  Upon
+immediate pursuit, my Lord of Rochester (for whom the King had spoke to
+the lady often, but with no successe) was taken at Uxbridge; but the lady
+is not yet heard of, and the King mighty angry, and the Lord sent to the
+Tower.  Hereupon my Lady did confess to me, as a great secret, her being
+concerned in this story.  For if this match breaks between my Lord
+Rochester and her, then, by the consent of all her friends, my Lord
+Hinchingbroke stands fair, and is invited for her.  She is worth, and will
+be at her mother's death (who keeps but a little from her), L2500 per
+annum.  Pray God give a good success to it!  But my poor Lady, who is
+afeard of the sickness, and resolved to be gone into the country, is
+forced to stay in towne a day or two, or three about it, to see the event
+of it.  Thence home and to see my Lady Pen, where my wife and I were shown
+a fine rarity: of fishes kept in a glass of water, that will live so for
+ever; and finely marked they are, being foreign.--[Gold-fish introduced
+from China.]--So to supper at home and to bed, after many people being
+with me about business, among others the two Bellamys about their old debt
+due to them from the King for their victualling business, out of which I
+hope to get some money.
+
+29th.  Lay long in bed, being in some little pain of the wind collique,
+then up and to the Duke of Albemarle, and so to the Swan, and there drank
+at Herbert's, and so by coach home, it being kept a great holiday through
+the City, for the birth and restoration of the King.  To my office, where
+I stood by and saw Symson the joyner do several things, little jobbs, to
+the rendering of my closet handsome and the setting up of some neat plates
+that Burston has for my money made me, and so home to dinner, and then
+with my wife, mother, and Mercer in one boat, and I in another, down to
+Woolwich.  I walking from Greenwich, the others going to and fro upon the
+water till my coming back, having done but little business.  So home and
+to supper, and, weary, to bed.  We have every where taken some prizes.
+Our merchants have good luck to come home safe: Colliers from the North,
+and some Streights men just now.  And our Hambrough ships, of whom we were
+so much afeard, are safe in Hambrough.  Our fleete resolved to sail out
+again from Harwich in a day or two.
+
+30th.  Lay long, and very busy all the morning, at noon to the 'Change,
+and thence to dinner to Sir G. Carteret's, to talk upon the business of
+insuring our goods upon the Hambrough [ships].  Here a very fine, neat
+French dinner, without much cost, we being all alone with my Lady and one
+of the house with her; thence home and wrote letters, and then in the
+evening, by coach, with my wife and mother and Mercer, our usual tour by
+coach, and eat at the old house at Islington; but, Lord! to see how my
+mother found herself talk upon every object to think of old stories. Here
+I met with one that tells me that Jack Cole, my old schoolefellow, is dead
+and buried lately of a consumption, who was a great crony of mine.  So
+back again home, and there to my closet to write letters.  Hear to my
+great trouble that our Hambrough ships,
+
+     [On May 29th Sir William Coventry wrote to Lord Arlington: "Capt.
+     Langhorne has arrived with seven ships, and reports the taking of
+     the Hamburg fleet with the man of war their convoy; mistaking the
+     Dutch fleet for the English, he fell into it" ("Calendar of State
+     Papers," Domestic, 1664-65, p. 393)]
+
+valued of the King's goods and the merchants' (though but little of the
+former) to L200,000 [are lost].  By and by, about 11 at night, called into
+the garden by my Lady Pen and daughter, and there walked with them and my
+wife till almost twelve, and so in and closed my letters, and home to bed.
+
+31st.  Up, and to my office, and to Westminster, doing business till noon,
+and then to the 'Change, where great the noise and trouble of having our
+Hambrough ships lost; and that very much placed upon Mr. Coventry's
+forgetting to give notice to them of the going away of our fleete from the
+coast of Holland.  But all without reason, for he did; but the merchants
+not being ready, staid longer than the time ordered for the convoy to
+stay, which was ten days.  Thence home with Creed and Mr. Moore to dinner.
+Anon we broke up, and Creed and I to discourse about our Tangier matters
+of money, which vex me.  So to Gresham College, staid a very little while,
+and away and I home busy, and busy late, at the end of the month, about my
+month's accounts, but by the addition of Tangier it is rendered more
+intricate, and so (which I have not done these 12 months, nor would
+willingly have done now) failed of having it done, but I will do it as
+soon as I can.  So weary and sleepy to bed.  I endeavoured but missed of
+seeing Sir Thomas Ingram at Westminster, so went to Houseman's the
+Painter, who I intend shall draw my wife, but he was not within, but I saw
+several very good pictures.
+
+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                  JUNE
+                                  1665
+
+June 1st.  Up and to the office, where sat all the morning, at noon to the
+'Change, and there did some business, and home to dinner, whither Creed
+comes, and after dinner I put on my new silke camelott sute; the best that
+ever I wore in my life, the sute costing me above L24.  In this I went
+with Creed to Goldsmiths' Hall, to the burial of Sir Thomas Viner; which
+Hall, and Haberdashers also, was so full of people, that we were fain for
+ease and coolness to go forth to Pater Noster Row, to choose a silke to
+make me a plain ordinary suit.  That done, we walked to Cornehill, and
+there at Mr. Cade's' stood in the balcon and saw all the funeral, which
+was with the blue-coat boys and old men, all the Aldermen, and Lord Mayor,
+&c., and the number of the company very great; the greatest I ever did see
+for a taverne.  Hither come up to us Dr. Allen, and then Mr. Povy and Mr.
+Fox.  The show being over, and my discourse with Mr. Povy, I took coach
+and to Westminster Hall, where I took the fairest flower, and by coach to
+Tothill Fields for the ayre till it was dark.  I 'light, and in with the
+fairest flower to eat a cake, and there did do as much as was safe with my
+flower, and that was enough on my part.  Broke up, and away without any
+notice, and, after delivering the rose where it should be, I to the Temple
+and 'light, and come to the middle door, and there took another coach, and
+so home to write letters, but very few, God knows, being by my pleasure
+made to forget everything that is.  The coachman that carried [us] cannot
+know me again, nor the people at the house where we were.  Home to bed,
+certain news being come that our fleete is in sight of the Dutch ships.
+
+2nd.  Lay troubled in mind abed a good while, thinking of my Tangier and
+victualling business, which I doubt will fall.  Up and to the Duke of
+Albemarle, but missed him.  Thence to the Harp and Ball and to Westminster
+Hall, where I visited "the flowers" in each place, and so met with Mr.
+Creed, and he and I to Mrs. Croft's to drink and did, but saw not her
+daughter Borroughes.  I away home, and there dined and did business.  In
+the afternoon went with my tallys, made a fair end with Colvill and Viner,
+delivering them L5000 tallys to each and very quietly had credit given me
+upon other tallys of Mr. Colvill for L2000 and good words for more, and of
+Mr. Viner too.  Thence to visit the Duke of Albemarle, and thence my Lady
+Sandwich and Lord Crew.  Thence home, and there met an expresse from Sir
+W. Batten at Harwich, that the fleete is all sailed from Solebay, having
+spied the Dutch fleete at sea, and that, if the calmes hinder not, they
+must needs now be engaged with them. Another letter also come to me from
+Mr. Hater, committed by the Council this afternoon to the Gate House, upon
+the misfortune of having his name used by one, without his knowledge or
+privity, for the receiving of some powder that he had bought.  Up to Court
+about these two, and for the former was led up to my Lady Castlemayne's
+lodgings, where the King and she and others were at supper, and there I
+read the letter and returned; and then to Sir G. Carteret about Hater, and
+shall have him released to-morrow, upon my giving bail for his appearance,
+which I have promised to do.  Sir G. Carteret did go on purpose to the
+King to ask this, and it was granted.  So home at past 12, almost one
+o'clock in the morning.  To my office till past two, and then home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+3rd.  Up and to White Hall, where Sir G. Carteret did go with me to
+Secretary Morris, and prevailed with him to let Mr. Hater be released upon
+bail for his appearance.  So I at a loss how to get another besides
+myself, and got Mr. Hunt, who did patiently stay with me all the morning
+at Secretary Morris's chamber, Mr. Hater being sent for with his keeper,
+and at noon comes in the Secretary, and upon entering [into]
+recognizances, he for L200, and Mr. Hunt and I for L100 each for his
+appearance upon demand, he was released, it costing him, I think, above
+L3.  I thence home, vexed to be kept from the office all the morning,
+which I had not been in many months before, if not some years.  At home to
+dinner, and all the afternoon at the office, where late at night, and much
+business done, then home to supper and to bed.  All this day by all people
+upon the River, and almost every where else hereabout were heard the guns,
+our two fleets for certain being engaged; which was confirmed by letters
+from Harwich, but nothing particular: and all our hearts full of
+concernment for the Duke, and I particularly for my Lord Sandwich and Mr.
+Coventry after his Royall Highnesse.
+
+4th (Sunday).  Up and at my chamber all the forenoon, at evening my
+accounts, which I could not do sooner, for the last month, and, blessed be
+God!  am worth L1400 odd money, something more than ever I was yet in the
+world.  Dined very well at noon, and then to my office, and there and in
+the garden discoursed with several people about business, among others Mr.
+Howell, the turner, who did give me so good a discourse about the
+practices of the Paymaster J. Fenn that I thought fit to recollect all
+when he was gone, and have entered it down to be for ever remembered.
+Thence to my chamber again to settle my Tangier accounts against tomorrow
+and some other things, and with great joy ended them, and so to supper,
+where a good fowl and tansy, and so to bed.  Newes being come that our
+fleete is pursuing the Dutch, who, either by cunning, or by being worsted,
+do give ground, but nothing more for certain.  Late to bed upon my papers
+being quite finished.
+
+5th.  Up very betimes to look some other papers, and then to White Hall to
+a Committee of Tangier, where I offered my accounts with great
+acceptation, and so had some good words and honour by it, and one or two
+things done to my content in my business of Treasurer, but I do clearly
+see that we shall lose our business of victualling, Sir Thomas Ingram
+undertaking that it shall be done by persons there as cheap as we do it,
+and give the seamen their full allowance and themselves give good security
+here for performance of contract, upon which terms there is no opposing
+it.  This would trouble me, but that I hope when that fails to spend my
+time to some good advantage other ways, and so shall permit it all to God
+Almighty's pleasure.  Thence home to dinner, after 'Change, where great
+talke of the Dutch being fled and we in pursuit of them, and that our ship
+Charity
+
+     [Sir William Coventry and Sir William Penn to the Navy
+     Commissioners, June 4th: "Engaged yesterday with the Dutch; they
+     began to stand away at 3 p.m.  Chased them all the rest of the day
+     and night; 20 considerable ships are destroyed and taken; we have
+     only lost the Great Charity.  The Earl of Marlborough, Rear-Admiral
+     Sansum, and Captain Kirby are slain, and Sir John Lawson wounded"
+     ("Calendar of State Papers," Domestic, 1664-65, p. 406).]
+
+is lost upon our Captain's, Wilkinson, and Lieutenant's yielding, but of
+this there is no certainty, save the report of some of the sicke men of
+the Charity, turned adrift in a boat out of the Charity and taken up and
+brought on shore yesterday to Sole Bay, and the newes hereof brought by
+Sir Henry Felton. Home to dinner, and Creed with me.  Then he and I down
+to Deptford, did some business, and back again at night.  He home, and I
+to my office, and so to supper and to bed.  This morning I had great
+discourse with my Lord Barkeley about Mr. Hater, towards whom from a great
+passion reproaching him with being a fanatique and dangerous for me to
+keepe, I did bring him to be mighty calme and to ask me pardons for what
+he had thought of him and to desire me to ask his pardon of Hater himself
+for the ill words he did give him the other day alone at White Hall (which
+was, that he had always thought him a man that was no good friend to the
+King, but did never think it would breake out in a thing of this nature),
+and did advise him to declare his innocence to the Council and pray for
+his examination and vindication.  Of which I shall consider and say no
+more, but remember one compliment that in great kindness to me he did give
+me, extolling my care and diligence, that he did love me heartily for my
+owne sake, and more that he did will me whatsoever I thought for Mr.
+Coventry's sake, for though the world did think them enemies, and to have
+an ill aspect, one to another, yet he did love him with all his heart,
+which was a strange manner of noble compliment, confessing his owning me
+as a confidant and favourite of Mr. Coventry's.
+
+6th.  Waked in the morning before 4 o'clock with great pain to piss, and
+great pain in pissing by having, I think, drank too great a draught of
+cold drink before going to bed.  But by and by to sleep again, and then
+rose and to the office, where very busy all the morning, and at noon to
+dinner with Sir G. Carteret to his house with all our Board, where a good
+pasty and brave discourse.  But our great fear was some fresh news of the
+fleete, but not from the fleete, all being said to be well and beaten the
+Dutch, but I do not give much belief to it, and indeed the news come from
+Sir W. Batten at Harwich, and writ so simply that we all made good mirth
+of it.  Thence to the office, where upon Sir G. Carteret's accounts, to my
+great vexation there being nothing done by the Controller to right the
+King therein.  I thence to my office and wrote letters all the afternoon,
+and in the evening by coach to Sir Ph. Warwicke's about my Tangier
+business to get money, and so to my Lady Sandwich's, who, poor lady,
+expects every hour to hear of my Lord; but in the best temper, neither
+confident nor troubled with fear, that I ever did see in my life.  She
+tells me my Lord Rochester is now declaredly out of hopes of Mrs. Mallett,
+and now she is to receive notice in a day or two how the King stands
+inclined to the giving leave for my Lord Hinchingbroke to look after her,
+and that being done to bring it to an end shortly.  Thence by coach home,
+and to my office a little, and so before 12 o'clock home and to bed.
+
+7th.  This morning my wife and mother rose about two o'clock; and with
+Mercer, Mary, the boy, and W. Hewer, as they had designed, took boat and
+down to refresh themselves on the water to Gravesend.  Lay till 7 o'clock,
+then up and to the office upon Sir G. Carteret's accounts again, where
+very busy; thence abroad and to the 'Change, no news of certainty being
+yet come from the fleete.  Thence to the Dolphin Taverne, where Sir J.
+Minnes, Lord Brunkard, Sir Thomas Harvy, and myself dined, upon Sir G.
+Carteret's charge, and very merry we were, Sir Thomas Harvy being a very
+drolle.  Thence to the office, and meeting Creed away with him to my Lord
+Treasurer's, there thinking to have met the goldsmiths, at White Hall, but
+did not, and so appointed another time for my Lord to speak to them to
+advance us some money.  Thence, it being the hottest day that ever I felt
+in my life, and it is confessed so by all other people the hottest they
+ever knew in England in the beginning of June, we to the New Exchange, and
+there drunk whey, with much entreaty getting it for our money, and [they]
+would not be entreated to let us have one glasse more. So took water and
+to Fox-Hall, to the Spring garden, and there walked an houre or two with
+great pleasure, saving our minds ill at ease concerning the fleete and my
+Lord Sandwich, that we have no newes of them, and ill reports run up and
+down of his being killed, but without ground.  Here staid pleasantly
+walking and spending but 6d. till nine at night, and then by water to
+White Hall, and there I stopped to hear news of the fleete, but none come,
+which is strange, and so by water home, where, weary with walking and with
+the mighty heat of the weather, and for my wife's not coming home, I
+staying walking in the garden till twelve at night, when it begun to
+lighten exceedingly, through the greatness of the heat.  Then despairing
+of her coming home, I to bed.  This day, much against my will, I did in
+Drury Lane see two or three houses marked with a red cross upon the doors,
+and "Lord have mercy upon us" writ there; which was a sad sight to me,
+being the first of the kind that, to my remembrance, I ever saw.  It put
+me into an ill conception of myself and my smell, so that I was forced to
+buy some roll-tobacco to smell to and chaw, which took away the
+apprehension.
+
+8th.  About five o'clock my wife come home, it having lightened all night
+hard, and one great shower of rain.  She come and lay upon the bed; I up
+and to the office, where all the morning.  Alone at home to dinner, my
+wife, mother, and Mercer dining at W. Joyce's; I giving her a caution to
+go round by the Half Moone to his house, because of the plague.  I to my
+Lord Treasurer's by appointment of Sir Thomas Ingram's, to meet the
+Goldsmiths; where I met with the great news at last newly come, brought by
+Bab May' from the Duke of Yorke, that we have totally routed the Dutch;
+that the Duke himself, the Prince, my Lord Sandwich, and Mr. Coventry are
+all well: which did put me into such joy, that I forgot almost all other
+thoughts.  The particulars I shall set down by and by. By and by comes
+Alderman Maynell and Mr. Viner, and there my Lord Treasurer did intreat
+them to furnish me with money upon my tallys, Sir Philip Warwicke before
+my Lord declaring the King's changing of the hand from Mr. Povy to me,
+whom he called a very sober person, and one whom the Lord Treasurer would
+owne in all things that I should concern myself with them in the business
+of money.  They did at present declare they could not part with money at
+present.  My Lord did press them very hard, and I hope upon their
+considering we shall get some of them.  Thence with great joy to the
+Cocke-pitt; where the Duke of Albemarle, like a man out of himself with
+content, new-told me all; and by and by comes a letter from Mr. Coventry's
+own hand to him, which he never opened (which was a strange thing), but
+did give it me to open and read, and consider what was fit for our office
+to do in it, and leave the letter with Sir W. Clerke; which upon such a
+time and occasion was a strange piece of indifference, hardly pardonable.
+I copied out the letter, and did also take minutes out of Sir W. Clerke's
+other letters; and the sum of the newes is:
+
+                 VICTORY OVER THE DUTCH, JUNE 3RD, 1665.
+
+This day they engaged; the Dutch neglecting greatly the opportunity of the
+wind they had of us, by which they lost the benefit of their fire-ships.
+The Earl of Falmouth, Muskerry, and Mr. Richard Boyle killed on board the
+Duke's ship, the Royall Charles, with one shot: their blood and brains
+flying in the Duke's face; and the head of Mr. Boyle striking down the
+Duke, as some say.  Earle of Marlborough, Portland, Rear-Admirall Sansum
+(to Prince Rupert) killed, and Capt. Kirby and Ableson.  Sir John Lawson
+wounded on the knee; hath had some bones taken out, and is likely to be
+well again.  Upon receiving the hurt, he sent to the Duke for another to
+command the Royall Oake.  The Duke sent Jordan
+
+     [Afterwards Sir Joseph Jordan, commander of the "Royal Sovereign,"
+     and Vice-Admiral of the Red, 1672.  He was knighted on July 1st,
+     1665.--B.]
+
+out of the St. George, who did brave things in her.  Capt. Jer. Smith of
+the Mary was second to the Duke, and stepped between him and Captain
+Seaton of the Urania (76 guns and 400 men), who had sworn to board the
+Duke; killed him, 200 men, and took the ship; himself losing 99 men, and
+never an officer saved but himself and lieutenant.  His master indeed is
+saved, with his leg cut off: Admirall Opdam blown up, Trump killed, and
+said by Holmes; all the rest of their admiralls, as they say, but Everson
+(whom they dare not trust for his affection to the Prince of Orange), are
+killed: we having taken and sunk, as is believed, about 24 of their best
+ships; killed and taken near 8 or 10,000 men, and lost, we think, not
+above 700.  A great[er] victory never known in the world.  They are all
+fled, some 43 got into the Texell, and others elsewhere, and we in pursuit
+of the rest.  Thence, with my heart full of joy; home, and to my office a
+little; then to my Lady Pen's, where they are all joyed and not a little
+puffed up at the good successe of their father;
+
+     [In the royal charter granted by Charles II. in 1680 to William Penn
+     for the government of his American province, to be styled
+     Pennsylvania, special reference is made to "the memory and merits of
+     Sir William Penn in divers services, and particularly his conduct,
+     courage, and discretion under our dearest brother, James, Duke of
+     York, in that signal battle and victory fought and obtained against
+     the Dutch fleet commanded by Heer van Opdam in 1665" ("Penn's
+     Memorials of Sir W. Penn," vol. ii., p. 359).]
+
+and good service indeed is said to have been done by him.  Had a great
+bonefire at the gate; and I with my Lady Pen's people and others to Mrs.
+Turner's great room, and then down into the streete.  I did give the boys
+4s. among them, and mighty merry.  So home to bed, with my heart at great
+rest and quiett, saving that the consideration of the victory is too great
+for me presently to comprehend.

+     [Mrs. Ady (Julia Cartwright), in her fascinating life of Henrietta,
+     Duchess of Orleans, gives an account of the receipt of the news of
+     the great sea-fight in Paris, and quotes a letter of Charles II. to
+     his sister, dated, "Whitehall, June 8th, 1665"  The first report
+     that reached Paris was that "the Duke of York's ship had been blown
+     up, and he himself had been drowned."  "The shock was too much for
+     Madame .  .  .  she was seized with convulsions, and became so
+     dangerously ill that Lord Hollis wrote to the king, 'If things had
+     gone ill at sea I really believe Madame would have died.'"  Charles
+     wrote: "I thanke God we have now the certayne newes of a very
+     considerable victory over the Duch; you will see most of the
+     particulars by the relation my Lord Hopis will shew you, though I
+     have had as great a losse as 'tis possible in a good frinde, poore
+     C. Barckely.  It troubles me so much, as I hope you will excuse the
+     shortnesse of this letter, haveing receaved the newes of it but two
+     houres agoe" ("Madame," 1894, pp.  215, 216).]
+
+9th.  Lay long in bed, my head akeing with too much thoughts I think last
+night.  Up and to White Hall, and my Lord Treasurer's to Sir Ph. Warwicke,
+about Tangier business, and in my way met with Mr. Moore, who eases me in
+one point wherein I was troubled; which was, that I heard of nothing said
+or done by my Lord Sandwich: but he tells me that Mr. Cowling, my Lord
+Chamberlain's secretary, did hear the King say that my Lord Sandwich had
+done nobly and worthily.  The King, it seems, is much troubled at the fall
+of my Lord of Falmouth; but I do not meet with any man else that so much
+as wishes him alive again, the world conceiving him a man of too much
+pleasure to do the King any good, or offer any good office to him.  But I
+hear of all hands he is confessed to have been a man of great honour, that
+did show it in this his going with the Duke, the most that ever any man
+did.  Home, where my people busy to make ready a supper against night for
+some guests, in lieu of my stonefeast. At noon eat a small dinner at home,
+and so abroad to buy several things, and among others with my taylor to
+buy a silke suit, which though I had one lately, yet I do, for joy of the
+good newes we have lately had of our victory over the Dutch, which makes
+me willing to spare myself something extraordinary in clothes; and after
+long resolution of having nothing but black, I did buy a coloured silk
+ferrandin.  So to the Old Exchange, and there at my pretty seamstresses
+bought a pair of stockings of her husband, and so home, where by and by
+comes Mr. Honiwood and Mrs. Wilde, and Roger Pepys and, after long time
+spent, Mrs. Turner, The. and Joyce. We had a very good venison pasty, this
+being instead of my stone-feast the last March, and very merry we were,
+and the more I know the more I like Mr. Honiwood's conversation.  So after
+a good supper they parted, walking to the 'Change for a coach, and I with
+them to see them there. So home and to bed, glad it was over.
+
+10th.  Lay long in bed, and then up and at the office all the morning. At
+noon dined at home, and then to the office busy all the afternoon.  In the
+evening home to supper; and there, to my great trouble, hear that the
+plague is come into the City (though it hath these three or four weeks
+since its beginning been wholly out of the City); but where should it
+begin but in my good friend and neighbour's, Dr. Burnett, in Fanchurch
+Street: which in both points troubles me mightily.  To the office to
+finish my letters and then home to bed, being troubled at the sicknesse,
+and my head filled also with other business enough, and particularly how
+to put my things and estate in order, in case it should please God to call
+me away, which God dispose of to his glory!
+
+11th (Lord's day).  Up, and expected long a new suit; but, coming not,
+dressed myself in my late new black silke camelott suit; and, when fully
+ready, comes my new one of coloured ferrandin, which my wife puts me out
+of love with, which vexes me, but I think it is only my not being used to
+wear colours which makes it look a little unusual upon me.  To my chamber
+and there spent the morning reading.  At noon, by invitation, comes my two
+cozen Joyces and their wives, my aunt James and he-cozen Harman, his wife
+being ill.  I had a good dinner for them, and as merry as I could be in
+such company.  They being gone, I out of doors a little, to shew,
+forsooth, my new suit, and back again, and in going I saw poor Dr.
+Burnett's door shut; but he hath, I hear, gained great goodwill among his
+neighbours; for he discovered it himself first, and caused himself to be
+shut up of his own accord: which was very handsome.  In the evening comes
+Mr. Andrews and his wife and Mr. Hill, and staid and played, and sung and
+supped, most excellent pretty company, so pleasant, ingenious, and
+harmless, I cannot desire better.  They gone we to bed, my mind in great
+present ease.
+
+12th.  Up, and in my yesterday's new suit to the Duke of Albemarle, and
+after a turne in White Hall, and then in Westminster Hall, returned, and
+with my taylor bought some gold lace for my sleeve hands in Pater Noster
+Row.  So home to dinner, and then to the office, and down the River to
+Deptford, and then back again and to my Lord Treasurer's, and up and down
+to look after my Tangier business, and so home to my office, then to
+supper and to bed.  The Duke of Yorke is sent for last night and expected
+to be here to-morrow.
+
+13th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning doing business.  At
+noon with Sir G. Carteret to my Lord Mayor's to dinner, where much company
+in a little room, and though a good, yet no extraordinary table. His name,
+Sir John Lawrence, whose father, a very ordinary old man, sat there at
+table, but it seems a very rich man.  Here were at table three Sir Richard
+Brownes, viz.: he of the Councill, a clerk, and the Alderman, and his son;
+and there was a little grandson also Richard, who will hereafter be Sir
+Richard Browne.  The Alderman did here openly tell in boasting how he had,
+only upon suspicion of disturbances, if there had been any bad newes from
+sea, clapped up several persons that he was afeard of; and that he had
+several times done the like and would do, and take no bail where he saw it
+unsafe for the King.  But by and by he said that he was now sued in the
+Exchequer by a man for false imprisonment, that he had, upon the same
+score, imprisoned while he was Mayor four years ago, and asked advice upon
+it.  I told him I believed there was none, and told my story of Field, at
+which he was troubled, and said that it was then unsafe for any man to
+serve the King, and, I believed, knows not what to do therein; but that
+Sir Richard Browne, of the Councill, advised him to speak with my Lord
+Chancellor about it.  My Lord Mayor very respectfull to me; and so I after
+dinner away and found Sir J. Minnes ready with his coach and four horses
+at our office gate, for him and me to go out of towne to meet the Duke of
+Yorke coming from Harwich to-night, and so as far as Ilford, and there
+'light.  By and by comes to us Sir John Shaw and Mr. Neale, that married
+the rich widow Gold, upon the same errand.  After eating a dish of creame,
+we took coach again, hearing nothing of the Duke, and away home, a most
+pleasant evening and road.  And so to my office, where, after my letters
+wrote, to supper and to bed.  All our discourse in our way was Sir J.
+Minnes's telling me passages of the late King's and his father's, which I
+was mightily pleased to hear for information, though the pride of some
+persons and vice of most was but a sad story to tell how that brought the
+whole kingdom and King to ruine.
+
+14th.  Up, and to Sir Ph. Warwicke's and other places, about Tangier
+business, but to little purpose.  Among others to my Lord Treasurer's,
+there to speak with him, and waited in the lobby three long hours for to
+speake with him, to the trial of my utmost patience, but missed him at
+last, and forced to go home without it, which may teach me how I make
+others wait.  Home to dinner and staid Mr. Hater with me, and after dinner
+drew up a petition for Mr. Hater to present to the Councill about his
+troublesome business of powder, desiring a trial that his absence may be
+vindicated, and so to White Hall, but it was not proper to present it
+to-day.  Here I met with Mr. Cowling, who observed to me how he finds
+every body silent in the praise of my Lord Sandwich, to set up the Duke
+and the Prince; but that the Duke did both to the King and my Lord
+Chancellor write abundantly of my Lord's courage and service.
+
+     [Charles II.'s letter of thanks to Lord Sandwich, dated "Whitehall,
+     June 9th, 1665," written entirely in the king's hand, is printed in
+     Ellis's "Original Letters," 1st series, vol. iii., p. 327.]
+
+And I this day met with a letter of Captain Ferrers, wherein he tells [us]
+my Lord was with his ship in all the heat of the day, and did most
+worthily.  Met with Creed, and he and I to Westminster; and there saw my
+Lord Marlborough
+
+     [Of the four distinguished men who died after the late action with
+     the Dutch and were buried in Westminster Abbey, the Earl of
+     Marlborough was interred on June 14th, Viscount Muskerry on the
+     19th, the Earl of Falmouth on the 22nd, and Sir Edward Broughton on
+     the 26th.  After the entries in the Abbey Registers is this note:
+     "These four last Honble Persons dyed in his Majy's service against
+     the Dutch, excepting only that ST Ed Br received his death's wound
+     at sea, but dyed here at home" (Chester's "Westminster Abbey
+     Registers," p. 162).]
+
+brought to be buried, several Lords of the Council carrying him, and with
+the herald in some state.  Thence, vexed in my mind to think that I do so
+little in my Tangier business, and so home, and after supper to bed.
+
+15th.  Up, and put on my new stuff suit with close knees, which becomes me
+most nobly, as my wife says.  At the office all day.  At noon, put on my
+first laced band, all lace; and to Kate Joyce's to dinner, where my
+mother, wife, and abundance of their friends, and good usage.  Thence,
+wife and Mercer and I to the Old Exchange, and there bought two lace bands
+more, one of my semstresse, whom my wife concurs with me to be a pretty
+woman.  So down to Deptford and Woolwich, my boy and I.  At Woolwich,
+discoursed with Mr. Sheldon about my bringing my wife down for a month or
+two to his house, which he approves of, and, I think, will be very
+convenient.  So late back, and to the office, wrote letters, and so home
+to supper and to bed.  This day the Newes book upon Mr. Moore's showing
+L'Estrange
+
+     ["The Public Intelligencer," published by Roger L'Estrange, the
+     predecessor of the "London Gazette."]
+
+(Captain Ferrers's letter) did do my Lord Sandwich great right as to the
+late victory.  The Duke of Yorke not yet come to towne.  The towne grows
+very sickly, and people to be afeard of it; there dying this last week of
+the plague 112, from 43 the week before, whereof but [one] in
+Fanchurch-streete, and one in Broad-streete, by the Treasurer's office.
+
+16th.  Up and to the office, where I set hard to business, but was
+informed that the Duke of Yorke is come, and hath appointed us to attend
+him this afternoon.  So after dinner, and doing some business at the
+office, I to White Hall, where the Court is full of the Duke and his
+courtiers returned from sea.  All fat and lusty, and ruddy by being in the
+sun.  I kissed his hands, and we waited all the afternoon.  By and by saw
+Mr. Coventry, which rejoiced my very heart.  Anon he and I, from all the
+rest of the company, walked into the Matted Gallery; where after many
+expressions of love, we fell to talk of business.  Among other things, how
+my Lord Sandwich, both in his counsells and personal service, hath done
+most honourably and serviceably.  Sir J. Lawson is come to Greenwich; but
+his wound in his knee yet very bad.  Jonas Poole, in the Vantguard, did
+basely, so as to be, or will be, turned out of his ship. Captain Holmes
+
+     [Captain Robert Holmes (afterwards knighted).  Sir William Coventry,
+     in a letter to Lord Arlington (dated from "The Royal Charles,"
+     Southwold Bay, June 13th), writes: "Capt. Holmes asked to be rear
+     admiral of the white squadron in place of Sansum who was killed, but
+     the Duke gave the place to Captain Harman, on which he delivered up
+     his commission, which the Duke received, and put Captain Langhorne
+     in his stead" ("Calendar of State Papers," Domestic, 1664-65, p.
+     423).]
+
+expecting upon Sansum's death to be made Rear-admirall to the Prince (but
+Harman is
+
+     [John Harman, afterwards knighted.  He had served with great
+     reputation in several naval fights, and was desperately wounded in
+     1673, while]
+
+put in) hath delivered up to the Duke his commission, which the Duke took
+and tore.  He, it seems, had bid the Prince, who first told him of
+Holmes's intention, that he should dissuade him from it; for that he was
+resolved to take it if he offered it.  Yet Holmes would do it, like a
+rash, proud coxcombe.  But he is rich, and hath, it seems, sought an
+occasion of leaving the service.  Several of our captains have done ill.
+The great ships are the ships do the business, they quite deadening the
+enemy.  They run away upon sight of "The Prince."
+
+     ["The Prince" was Lord Sandwich's ship; the captain was Roger
+     Cuttance.  It was put up at Chatham for repair at this date.]
+
+It is strange to see how people do already slight Sir William Barkeley,
+
+     [Sir William Berkeley, see note, vol.  iii., p.  334.  His behaviour
+     after the death of his brother, Lord Falmouth, is severely commented
+     on in "Poems on State Affairs," vol. i., p. 29
+
+              "Berkeley had heard it soon, and thought not good
+               To venture more of royal Harding's blood;
+               To be immortal he was not of age,
+               And did e'en now the Indian Prize presage;
+               And judged it safe and decent, cost what cost,
+               To lose the day, since his dear brother's lost.
+               With his whole squadron straight away he bore,
+               And, like good boy, promised to fight no more."--B.]
+
+my Lord FitzHarding's brother, who, three months since, was the delight of
+the Court.  Captain Smith of "The Mary" the Duke talks mightily of; and
+some great thing will be done for him.  Strange to hear how the Dutch do
+relate, as the Duke says, that they are the conquerors; and bonefires are
+made in Dunkirke in their behalf; though a clearer victory can never be
+expected.  Mr. Coventry thinks they cannot have lost less than 6000 men,
+and we not dead above 200, and wounded about 400; in all about 600. Thence
+home and to my office till past twelve, and then home to supper and to
+bed, my wife and mother not being yet come home from W. Hewer's chamber,
+who treats my mother tonight.  Captain Grovel the Duke told us this day,
+hath done the basest thing at Lowestoffe, in hearing of the guns, and
+could not (as others) be got out, but staid there; for which he will be
+tried; and is reckoned a prating coxcombe, and of no courage.
+
+17th.  My wife come to bed about one in the morning.  I up and abroad
+about Tangier business, then back to the office, where we sat, and at noon
+home to dinner, and then abroad to Mr. Povy's, after I and Mr. Andrews had
+been with Mr. Ball and one Major Strange, who looks after the getting of
+money for tallys and is helping Mr. Andrews.  I had much discourse with
+Ball, and it may be he may prove a necessary man for our turns.  With Mr.
+Povy I spoke very freely my indifference as to my place of Treasurer,
+being so much troubled in it, which he took with much seeming trouble,
+that I should think of letting go so lightly the place, but if the place
+can't be held I will.  So hearing that my Lord Treasurer was gone out of
+town with his family because of the sicknesse, I returned home without
+staying there, and at the office find Sir W. Pen come home, who looks very
+well; and I am gladder to see him than otherwise I should be because of my
+hearing so well of him for his serviceablenesse in this late great action.
+To the office late, and then home to bed.  It struck me very deep this
+afternoon going with a hackney coach from my Lord Treasurer's down
+Holborne, the coachman I found to drive easily and easily, at last stood
+still, and come down hardly able to stand, and told me that he was
+suddenly struck very sicke, and almost blind, he could not see; so I
+'light and went into another coach, with a sad heart for the poor man and
+trouble for myself, lest he should have been struck with the plague, being
+at the end of the towne that I took him up; but God have mercy upon us
+all!  Sir John Lawson, I hear, is worse than yesterday: the King went to
+see him to-day most kindly.  It seems his wound is not very bad; but he
+hath a fever, a thrush, and a hickup, all three together, which are, it
+seems, very bad symptoms.
+
+18th (Lord's day).  Up, and to church, where Sir W. Pen was the first time
+[since he] come from sea, after the battle.  Mr. Mills made a sorry sermon
+to prove that there was a world to come after this.  Home and dined and
+then to my chamber, where all the afternoon.  Anon comes Mr. Andrews to
+see and sing with me, but Mr. Hill not coming, and having business, we
+soon parted, there coming Mr. Povy and Creed to discourse about our
+Tangier business of money.  They gone, I hear Sir W. Batten and my Lady
+are returned from Harwich.  I went to see them, and it is pretty to see
+how we appear kind one to another, though neither of us care 2d. one for
+another.  Home to supper, and there coming a hasty letter from
+Commissioner Pett for pressing of some calkers (as I would ever on his
+Majesty's service), with all speed, I made a warrant presently and issued
+it.  So to my office a little, and then home to bed.
+
+19th.  Up, and to White Hall with Sir W. Batten (calling at my Lord
+Ashly's, but to no purpose, by the way, he being not up), and there had
+our usual meeting before the Duke with the officers of the Ordnance with
+us, which in some respects I think will be the better for us, for despatch
+sake.  Thence home to the 'Change and dined alone (my wife gone to her
+mother's), after dinner to my little new goldsmith's,
+
+     [John Colvill of Lombard Street, see ante, May 24th.  He lost
+     L85,832  17s. 2d.  by the closing of the Exchequer in 1672, and he
+     died between 1672 and 1677 (Price's "Handbook of London Bankers ").]
+
+whose wife indeed is one of the prettiest, modest black women that ever I
+saw.  I paid for a dozen of silver salts L6 14s. 6d.  Thence with Sir W.
+Pen from the office down to Greenwich to see Sir J. Lawson, who is better,
+but continues ill; his hickupp not being yet gone, could have little
+discourse with him.  So thence home and to supper, a while to the office,
+my head and mind mightily vexed to see the multitude of papers and
+business before [me] and so little time to do it in.  So to bed.
+
+20th.  Thankes-giving-day for victory over ye Dutch.  Up, and to the
+office, where very busy alone all the morning till church time, and there
+heard a mean sorry sermon of Mr. Mills.  Then to the Dolphin Taverne,
+where all we officers of the Navy met with the Commissioners of the
+Ordnance by agreement, and dined: where good musique at my direction. Our
+club--[share]
+
+             ["Next these a sort of Sots there are,

+
+--come to 34s. a man, nine of us.  Thence after dinner, to White Hall with
+Sir W. Berkely in his coach, and so walked to Herbert's and there spent a
+little time .  .  .  .  Thence by water to Fox-hall, and there walked an
+hour alone, observing the several humours of the citizens that were there
+this holyday, pulling of cherries,--[The game of bob-cherry]--and God
+knows what, and so home to my office, where late, my wife not being come
+home with my mother, who have been this day all abroad upon the water, my
+mother being to go out of town speedily.  So I home and to supper and to
+bed, my wife come home when I come from the office.  This day I informed
+myself that there died four or five at Westminster of the plague in one
+alley in several houses upon Sunday last, Bell Alley, over against the
+Palace-gate; yet people do think that the number will be fewer in the
+towne than it was the last weeke!  The Dutch are come out again with 20
+sail under Bankert; supposed gone to the Northward to meete their East
+India fleete.
+
+21st.  Up, and very busy all the morning.  At noon with Creed to the
+Excise Office, where I find our tallys will not be money in less than
+sixteen months, which is a sad thing for the King to pay all that interest
+for every penny he spends; and, which is strange, the goldsmiths with whom
+I spoke, do declare that they will not be moved to part with money upon
+the increase of their consideration of ten per cent. which they have, and
+therefore desire I would not move in it, and indeed the consequence would
+be very ill to the King, and have its ill consequences follow us through
+all the King's revenue.  Home, and my uncle Wight and aunt James dined
+with me, my mother being to go away to-morrow.  So to White Hall, and
+there before and after Council discoursed with Sir Thomas Ingram about our
+ill case as to Tangier for money.  He hath got the King to appoint a
+meeting on Friday, which I hope will put an end one way or other to my
+pain.  So homewards and to the Cross Keys at Cripplegate, where I find all
+the towne almost going out of towne, the coaches and waggons being all
+full of people going into the country.  Here I had some of the company of
+the tapster's wife a while, and so home to my office, and then home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up pretty betimes, and in great pain whether to send my another
+into the country to-day or no, I hearing, by my people, that she, poor
+wretch, hath a mind to stay a little longer, and I cannot blame her,
+considering what a life she will through her own folly lead when she comes
+home again, unlike the pleasure and liberty she hath had here.  At last I
+resolved to put it to her, and she agreed to go, so I would not oppose it,
+because of the sicknesse in the towne, and my intentions of removing my
+wife.  So I did give her money and took a kind leave of her, she, poor
+wretch, desiring that I would forgive my brother John, but I refused it to
+her, which troubled her, poor soul, but I did it in kind words and so let
+the discourse go off, she leaving me though in a great deal of sorrow.  So
+I to my office and left my wife and people to see her out of town, and I
+at the office all the morning.  At noon my wife tells me that she is with
+much ado gone, and I pray God bless her, but it seems she was to the last
+unwilling to go, but would not say so, but put it off till she lost her
+place in the coach, and was fain to ride in the waggon part.  After dinner
+to the office again till night, very busy, and so home not very late to
+supper and to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up and to White Hall to a Committee for Tangier, where his Royal
+Highness was.  Our great design was to state to them the true condition of
+this Committee for want of money, the want whereof was so great as to need
+some sudden help, and it was with some content resolved to see it supplied
+and means proposed towards the doing of it.  At this Committee, unknown to
+me, comes my Lord of Sandwich, who, it seems, come to towne last night.
+After the Committee was up, my Lord Sandwich did take me aside, and we
+walked an hour alone together in the robe-chamber, the door shut, telling
+me how much the Duke and Mr. Coventry did, both in the fleete and here,
+make of him, and that in some opposition to the Prince; and as a more
+private message, he told me that he hath been with them both when they
+have made sport of the Prince and laughed at him: yet that all the
+discourse of the towne, and the printed relation, should not give him one
+word of honour my Lord thinks mighty strange; he assuring me, that though
+by accident the Prince was in the van the beginning of the fight for the
+first pass, yet all the rest of the day my Lord was in the van, and
+continued so.  That notwithstanding all this noise of the Prince, he had
+hardly a shot in his side nor a man killed, whereas he hath above 30 in
+her hull, and not one mast whole nor yard; but the most battered ship of
+the fleet, and lost most men, saving Captain Smith of "The Mary."  That
+the most the Duke did was almost out of gun-shot; but that, indeed, the
+Duke did come up to my Lord's rescue after he had a great while fought
+with four of them.  How poorly Sir John Lawson performed, notwithstanding
+all that was said of him; and how his ship turned out of the way, while
+Sir J. Lawson himself was upon the deck, to the endangering of the whole
+fleete.  It therefore troubles my Lord that Mr. Coventry should not
+mention a word of him in his relation.  I did, in answer, offer that I was
+sure the relation was not compiled by Mr. Coventry, but by L'Estrange, out
+of several letters, as I could witness; and that Mr. Coventry's letter
+that he did give the Duke of Albemarle did give him as much right as the
+Prince, for I myself read it first and then copied it out, which I
+promised to show my Lord, with which he was somewhat satisfied.  From that
+discourse my Lord did begin to tell me how much he was concerned to
+dispose of his children, and would have my advice and help; and propounded
+to match my Lady Jemimah to Sir G. Carteret's eldest son, which I approved
+of, and did undertake the speaking with him about it as from myself, which
+my Lord liked.  So parted, with my head full of care about this business.
+Thence home to the 'Change, and so to dinner, and thence by coach to Mr.
+Povy's.  Thence by appointment with him and Creed to one Mr. Finch; one of
+the Commissioners for the Excise, to be informed about some things of the
+Excise, in order to our settling matters therein better for us for our
+Tangier business.  I find him a very discreet, grave person.  Thence well
+satisfied I and Creed to Mr. Fox at White Hall to speak with him about the
+same matter, and having some pretty satisfaction from him also, he and I
+took boat and to Fox Hall, where we spent two or three hours talking of
+several matters very soberly and contentfully to me, which, with the ayre
+and pleasure of the garden, was a great refreshment to me, and, 'methinks,
+that which we ought to joy ourselves in.  Thence back to White Hall, where
+we parted, and I to find my Lord to receive his farther direction about
+his proposal this morning.  Wherein I did that I should first by another
+hand break my intentions to Sir G. Carteret.  I pitched upon Dr. Clerke,
+which my Lord liked, and so I endeavoured but in vain to find him out
+to-night.  So home by hackney-coach, which is become a very dangerous
+passage now-a-days, the sickness increasing mightily, and to bed.
+
+24th (Midsummer-day).  Up very betimes, by six, and at Dr. Clerke's at
+Westminster by 7 of the clock, having over night by a note acquainted him
+with my intention of coming, and there I, in the best manner I could,
+broke my errand about a match between Sir G. Carteret's eldest son and my
+Lord Sandwich's eldest daughter, which he (as I knew he would) took with
+great content: and we both agreed that my Lord and he, being both men
+relating to the sea, under a kind aspect of His Majesty, already good
+friends, and both virtuous and good familys, their allyance might be of
+good use to us; and he did undertake to find out Sir George this morning,
+and put the business in execution.  So being both well pleased with the
+proposition, I saw his niece there and made her sing me two or three songs
+very prettily, and so home to the office, where to my great trouble I
+found Mr. Coventry and the board met before I come.  I excused my late
+coming by having been on the River about office business.  So to business
+all the morning.  At noon Captain Ferrers and Mr. Moore dined with me, the
+former of them the first time I saw him since his corning from sea, who do
+give me the best conversation in general, and as good an account of the
+particular service of the Prince and my Lord of Sandwich in the late
+sea-fight that I could desire.  After dinner they parted.  So I to White
+Hall, where I with Creed and Povy attended my Lord Treasurer, and did
+prevail with him to let us have an assignment for 15 or L20,000, which, I
+hope, will do our business for Tangier.  So to Dr. Clerke, and there found
+that he had broke the business to Sir G. Carteret, and that he takes the
+thing mighty well.  Thence I to Sir G. Carteret at his chamber, and in the
+best manner I could, and most obligingly, moved the business: he received
+it with great respect and content, and thanks to me, and promised that he
+would do what he could possibly for his son, to render him fit for my
+Lord's daughter, and shewed great kindness to me, and sense of my kindness
+to him herein.  Sir William Pen told me this day that Mr. Coventry is to
+be sworn a Privy Counsellor, at which my soul is glad.  So home and to my
+letters by the post, and so home to supper and bed.
+
+25th (Lord's day).  Up, and several people about business come to me by
+appointment relating to the office.  Thence I to my closet about my
+Tangier papers.  At noon dined, and then I abroad by water, it raining
+hard, thinking to have gone down to Woolwich, but I did not, but back
+through bridge to White Hall, where, after I had again visited Sir G.
+Carteret, and received his (and now his Lady's) full content in my
+proposal, I went to my Lord Sandwich, and having told him how Sir G.
+Carteret received it, he did direct me to return to Sir G. Carteret, and
+give him thanks for his kind reception of this offer, and that he would
+the next day be willing to enter discourse with him about the business.
+Which message I did presently do, and so left the business with great joy
+to both sides.  My Lord, I perceive, intends to give L5000 with her, and
+expects about L800 per annum joynture.  So by water home and to supper and
+bed, being weary with long walking at Court, but had a Psalm or two with
+my boy and Mercer before bed, which pleased me mightily.  This night Sir
+G. Carteret told me with great kindnesse that the order of the Council did
+run for the making of Hater and Whitfield incapable of any serving the
+King again, but that he had stopped the entry of it, which he told me with
+great kindnesse, but the thing troubles me.  After dinner, before I went
+to White Hall, I went down to Greenwich by water, thinking to have visited
+Sir J. Lawson, where, when I come, I find that he is dead, and died this
+morning, at which I was much surprized; and indeed the nation hath a great
+loss; though I cannot, without dissembling, say that I am sorry for it,
+for he was a man never kind to me at all.  Being at White Hall, I visited
+Mr. Coventry, who, among other talk, entered about the great question now
+in the House about the Duke's going to sea again; about which the whole
+House is divided.  He did concur with me that, for the Duke's honour and
+safety, it were best, after so great a service and victory and danger, not
+to go again; and, above all, that the life of the Duke cannot but be a
+security to the Crowne; if he were away, it being more easy to attempt
+anything upon the King; but how the fleete will be governed without him,
+the Prince--[Rupert]--being a man of no government and severe in council,
+that no ordinary man can offer any advice against his; saying truly that
+it had been better he had gone to Guinny, and that were he away, it were
+easy to say how matters might be ordered, my Lord Sandwich being a man of
+temper and judgment as much as any man he ever knew, and that upon good
+observation he said this, and that his temper must correct the Prince's.
+But I perceive he is much troubled what will be the event of the question.
+And so I left him.
+
+26th.  Up and to White Hall with Sir J. Minnes, and to the Committee of
+Tangier, where my Lord Treasurer was, the first and only time he ever was
+there, and did promise us L15,000 for Tangier and no more, which will be
+short.  But if I can pay Mr. Andrews all his money I care for no more, and
+the bills of Exchange.  Thence with Mr. Povy and Creed below to a new
+chamber of Mr. Povy's, very pretty, and there discourse about his
+business, not to his content, but with the most advantage I could to him,
+and Creed also did the like.  Thence with Creed to the King's Head, and
+there dined with him at the ordinary, and good sport with one Mr.
+Nicholls, a prating coxcombe, that would be thought a poet, but would not
+be got to repeat any of his verses.  Thence I home, and there find my
+wife's brother and his wife, a pretty little modest woman, where they
+dined with my wife.  He did come to desire my assistance for a living,
+and, upon his good promises of care, and that it should be no burden to
+me, I did say and promise I would think of finding something for him, and
+the rather because his wife seems a pretty discreet young thing, and
+humble, and he, above all things, desirous to do something to maintain
+her, telling me sad stories of what she endured with him in Holland, and I
+hope it will not be burdensome.  So down by water to Woolwich, walking to
+and again from Greenwich thither and back again, my business being to
+speak again with Sheldon, who desires and expects my wife coming thither
+to spend the summer, and upon second thoughts I do agree that it will be a
+good place for her and me too.  So, weary, home, and to my office a while,
+till almost midnight, and so to bed.  The plague encreases mightily, I
+this day seeing a house, at a bitt-maker's over against St. Clement's
+Church, in the open street, shut up; which is a sad sight.
+
+27th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon dined by
+chance at my Lady Batten's, and they sent for my wife, and there was my
+Lady Pen and Pegg.  Very merry, and so I to my office again, where till 12
+o'clock at night, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+28th.  Sir J. Minnes carried me and my wife to White Hall, and thence his
+coach along with my wife where she would.  There after attending the Duke
+to discourse of the navy.  We did not kiss his hand, nor do I think, for
+all their pretence, of going away to-morrow.  Yet I believe they will not
+go for good and all, but I did take my leave of Sir William Coventry, who,
+it seems, was knighted and sworn a Privy-Counsellor two days since; who
+with his old kindness treated me, and I believe I shall ever find [him] a
+noble friend.  Thence by water to Blackfriars, and so to Paul's churchyard
+and bespoke severall books, and so home and there dined, my man William
+giving me a lobster sent him by my old maid Sarah.  This morning I met
+with Sir G. Carteret, who tells me how all things proceed between my Lord
+Sandwich and himself to full content, and both sides depend upon having
+the match finished presently, and professed great kindnesse to me, and
+said that now we were something akin.  I am mightily, both with respect to
+myself and much more of my Lord's family, glad of this alliance.  After
+dinner to White Hall, thinking to speak with my Lord Ashly, but failed,
+and I whiled away some time in Westminster Hall against he did come, in my
+way observing several plague houses in King's Street and [near] the
+Palace.  Here I hear Mrs. Martin is gone out of town, and that her
+husband, an idle fellow, is since come out of France, as he pretends, but
+I believe not that he hath been.  I was fearful of going to any house, but
+I did to the Swan, and thence to White Hall, giving the waterman a
+shilling, because a young fellow and belonging to the Plymouth.  Thence by
+coach to several places, and so home, and all the evening with Sir J.
+Minnes and all the women of the house (excepting my Lady Batten) late in
+the garden chatting.  At 12 o'clock home to supper and to bed.  My Lord
+Sandwich is gone towards the sea to-day, it being a sudden resolution, I
+having taken no leave of him.
+
+29th.  Up and by water to White Hall, where the Court full of waggons and
+people ready to go out of towne.  To the Harp and Ball, and there drank
+and talked with Mary, she telling me in discourse that she lived lately at
+my neighbour's, Mr. Knightly, which made me forbear further discourse.
+This end of the towne every day grows very bad of the plague.  The
+Mortality Bill is come to 267;
+
+     [According to the Bills of Mortality, the total number of deaths in
+     London for the week ending June 27th was 684, of which number 267
+     were deaths from the plague.  The number of deaths rose week by week
+     until September 19th, when the total was 8,297, and the deaths from
+     the plague 7,165.  On September 26th the total had fallen to 6,460,
+     and deaths from the plague to 5,533 The number fell gradually, week
+     by week, till October 31st, when the total was 1,388, and deaths
+     from the plague 1,031.  On November 7th there was a rise to 1,787
+     and 1,414 respectively.  On November 14th the numbers had gone down
+     to 1,359 and 1,050 respectively.  On December 12th the total had
+     fallen to 442, and deaths from the plague to 243.  On December 19th
+     there was a rise to 525 and 281 respectively.  The total of burials
+     in 1665 was 97,506, of which number the plague claimed 68,596
+     victims.]
+
+which is about ninety more than the last: and of these but four in the
+City, which is a great blessing to us.  Thence to Creed, and with him up
+and down about Tangier business, to no purpose.  Took leave again of Mr.
+Coventry; though I hope the Duke has not gone to stay, and so do others
+too.  So home, calling at Somersett House, where all are packing up too:
+the Queene-Mother setting out for France this day to drink Bourbon waters
+this year, she being in a consumption; and intends not to come till winter
+come twelvemonths.
+
+     [The Queen-Mother never came to England again.  She retired to her
+     chateau at Colombes, near Paris, where she died in August, 1669,
+     after a long illness; the immediate cause of her death being an
+     opiate ordered by her physicians.  She was buried, September 12th,
+     in the church of St. Denis.  Her funeral sermon was preached by
+     Bossuet.  Sir John Reresby speaks of Queen Henrietta Maria in high
+     terms.  He says that in the winter, 1659-60, although the Court of
+     France was very splendid, there was a greater resort to the Palais
+     Royal, "the good humour and wit of our Queen Mother, and the beauty
+     of the Princess [Henrietta] her daughter, giving greater invitation
+     than the more particular humour of the French Queen, being a
+     Spaniard."  In another place he says: "Her majesty had a great
+     affection for England, notwithstanding the severe usage she and hers
+     had received from it.  Her discourse was much with the great men and
+     ladies of France in praise of the people and of the country; of
+     their courage, generosity, good nature; and would excuse all their
+     miscarriages in relation to unfortunate effects of the late war, as
+     if it were a convulsion of some desperate and infatuated persons,
+     rather than from the genius and temper of the kingdom" ("Memoirs of
+     Sir John Reresby," ed.  Cartwright, pp. 43, 45).]
+
+So by coach home, where at the office all the morning, and at noon Mrs.
+Hunt dined with us.  Very merry, and she a very good woman.  To the
+office, where busy a while putting some things in my office in order, and
+then to letters till night.  About 10 a'clock home, the days being
+sensibly shorter before I have once kept a summer's day by shutting up
+office by daylight; but my life hath been still as it was in winter
+almost.  But I will for a month try what I can do by daylight.  So home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+30th.  Up and to White Hall, to the Duke of Albemarle, who I find at
+Secretary Bennet's, there being now no other great Statesman, I think, but
+my Lord Chancellor, in towne.  I received several commands from them;
+among others, to provide some bread and cheese for the garrison at
+Guernsey, which they promised to see me paid for.  So to the 'Change, and
+home to dinner.  In the afternoon I down to Woolwich and after me my wife
+and Mercer, whom I led to Mr. Sheldon's to see his house, and I find it a
+very pretty place for them to be at.  So I back again, walking both
+forward and backward, and left my wife to come by water.  I straight to
+White Hall, late, to Secretary Bennet's to give him an account of the
+business I received from him to-day, and there staid weary and sleepy till
+past 12 at night.  Then writ my mind to him, and so back by water and in
+the dark and against tide shot the bridge, groping with their pole for the
+way, which troubled me before I got through.  So home, about one or two
+o'clock in the morning, my family at a great losse what was become of me.
+To supper, and to bed.  Thus this book of two years ends.  Myself and
+family in good health, consisting of myself and wife, Mercer, her woman,
+Mary, Alice, and Susan our maids, and Tom my boy.  In a sickly time of the
+plague growing on.  Having upon my hands the troublesome care of the
+Treasury of Tangier, with great sums drawn upon me, and nothing to pay
+them with: also the business of the office great.  Consideration of
+removing my wife to Woolwich; she lately busy in learning to paint, with
+great pleasure and successe.  All other things well; especially a new
+interest I am making, by a match in hand between the eldest son of Sir G.
+Carteret, and my Lady Jemimah Montage.  The Duke of Yorke gone down to the
+fleete, but all suppose not with intent to stay there, as it is not fit,
+all men conceive, he should.

+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

+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.
