+
+October 1st (Lord's day).  Called up about 4 of the clock and so dressed
+myself and so on board the Bezan, and there finding all my company asleep
+I would not wake them, but it beginning to be break of day I did stay upon
+the decke walking, and then into the Maister's cabbin and there laid and
+slept a little, and so at last was waked by Captain Cocke's calling of me,
+and so I turned out, and then to chat and talk and laugh, and mighty
+merry.  We spent most of the morning talking and reading of "The Siege of
+Rhodes," which is certainly (the more I read it the more I think so) the
+best poem that ever was wrote.  We breakfasted betimes and come to the
+fleete about two of the clock in the afternoon, having a fine day and a
+fine winde.  My Lord received us mighty kindly, and after discourse with
+us in general left us to our business, and he to his officers, having
+called a council of wary, we in the meantime settling of papers with Mr.
+Pierce and everybody else, and by and by with Captain Cuttance. Anon
+called down to my Lord, and there with him till supper talking and
+discourse; among other things, to my great joy, he did assure me that he
+had wrote to the King and Duke about these prize-goods, and told me that
+they did approve of what he had done, and that he would owne what he had
+done, and would have me to tell all the world so, and did, under his hand,
+give Cocke and me his certificate of our bargains, and giving us full
+power of disposal of what we have so bought.  This do ease my mind of all
+my fear, and makes my heart lighter by L100 than it was before. He did
+discourse to us of the Dutch fleete being abroad, eighty-five of them
+still, and are now at the Texell, he believes, in expectation of our
+Eastland ships coming home with masts and hempe, and our loaden Hambrough
+ships going to Hambrough.  He discoursed against them that would have us
+yield to no conditions but conquest over the Dutch, and seems to believe
+that the Dutch will call for the protection of the King of France and come
+under his power, which were to be wished they might be brought to do under
+ours by fair means, and to that end would have all Dutch men and familys,
+that would come hither and settled, to be declared denizens; and my Lord
+did whisper to me alone that things here must break in pieces, nobody
+minding any thing, but every man his owne business of profit or pleasure,
+and the King some little designs of his owne, and that certainly the
+kingdom could not stand in this condition long, which I fear and believe
+is very true.  So to supper and there my Lord the kindest man to me,
+before all the table talking of me to my advantage and with tenderness too
+that it overjoyed me.  So after supper Captain Cocke and I and Temple on
+board the Bezan, and there to cards for a while and then to read again in
+"Rhodes" and so to sleep.  But, Lord! the mirth which it caused me to be
+waked in the night by their snoaring round about me; I did laugh till I
+was ready to burst, and waked one of the two companions of Temple, who
+could not a good while tell where he was that he heard one laugh so, till
+he recollected himself, and I told him what it was at, and so to sleep
+again, they still snoaring.
+
+2nd.  We having sailed all night (and I do wonder how they in the dark
+could find the way) we got by morning to Gillingham, and thence all walked
+to Chatham; and there with Commissioner Pett viewed the Yard; and among
+other things, a teame of four horses come close by us, he being with me,
+drawing a piece of timber that I am confident one man could easily have
+carried upon his back.  I made the horses be taken away, and a man or two
+to take the timber away with their hands.  This the Commissioner did see,
+but said nothing, but I think had cause to be ashamed of.  We walked, he
+and I and Cocke, to the Hill-house, where we find Sir W. Pen in bed and
+there much talke and much dissembling of kindnesse from him, but he is a
+false rogue, and I shall not trust him, but my being there did procure his
+consent to have his silk carried away before the money received, which he
+would not have done for Cocke I am sure.  Thence to Rochester, walked to
+the Crowne, and while dinner was getting ready, I did there walk to visit
+the old Castle ruines, which hath been a noble place, and there going up I
+did upon the stairs overtake three pretty mayds or women and took them up
+with me, and I did 'baiser sur mouches et toucher leur mains' and necks to
+my great pleasure: but, Lord! to see what a dreadfull thing it is to look
+down the precipices, for it did fright me mightily, and hinder me of much
+pleasure which I would have made to myself in the company of these three,
+if it had not been for that.  The place hath been very noble and great and
+strong in former ages.  So to walk up and down the Cathedral, and thence
+to the Crowne, whither Mr. Fowler, the Mayor of the towne, was come in his
+gowne, and is a very reverend magistrate.  After I had eat a bit, not
+staying to eat with them, I went away, and so took horses and to
+Gravesend, and there staid not, but got a boat, the sicknesse being very
+much in the towne still, and so called on board my Lord Bruncker and Sir
+John Minnes, on board one of the East Indiamen at Erith, and there do find
+them full of envious complaints for the pillageing of the ships, but I did
+pacify them, and discoursed about making money of some of the goods, and
+do hope to be the better by it honestly.  So took leave (Madam Williams
+being here also with my Lord), and about 8 o'clock got to Woolwich and
+there supped and mighty pleasant with my wife, who is, for ought I see,
+all friends with her mayds, and so in great joy and content to bed.
+
+3rd.  Up, and to my great content visited betimes by Mr. Woolly, my uncle
+Wight's cozen, who comes to see what work I have for him about these East
+India goods, and I do find that this fellow might have been of great use,
+and hereafter may be of very great use to me, in this trade of prize
+goods, and glad I am fully of his coming hither.  While I dressed myself,
+and afterwards in walking to Greenwich we did discourse over all the
+business of the prize goods, and he puts me in hopes I may get some money
+in what I have done, but not so much as I expected, but that I may
+hereafter do more.  We have laid a design of getting more, and are to talk
+again of it a few days hence.  To the office, where nobody to meet me, Sir
+W. Batten being the only man and he gone this day to meet to adjourne the
+Parliament to Oxford.  Anon by appointment comes one to tell me my Lord
+Rutherford is come; so I to the King's Head to him, where I find his lady,
+a fine young Scotch lady, pretty handsome and plain.  My wife also, and
+Mercer, by and by comes, Creed bringing them; and so presently to dinner
+and very merry; and after to even our accounts, and I to give him tallys,
+where he do allow me L100, of which to my grief the rogue Creed has
+trepanned me out of L50.  But I do foresee a way how it may be I may get a
+greater sum of my Lord to his content by getting him allowance of interest
+upon his tallys.  That being done, and some musique and other diversions,
+at last away goes my Lord and Lady, and I sent my wife to visit Mrs.
+Pierce, and so I to my office, where wrote important letters to the Court,
+and at night (Creed having clownishly left my wife), I to Mrs. Pierces and
+brought her and Mrs. Pierce to the King's Head and there spent a piece
+upon a supper for her and mighty merry and pretty discourse, she being as
+pretty as ever, most of our mirth being upon "my Cozen" (meaning my Lord
+Bruncker's ugly mistress, whom he calls cozen), and to my trouble she
+tells me that the fine Mrs. Middleton is noted for carrying about her body
+a continued sour base smell, that is very offensive, especially if she be
+a little hot.  Here some bad musique to close the night and so away and
+all of us saw Mrs. Belle Pierce (as pretty as ever she was almost) home,
+and so walked to Will's lodging where I used to lie, and there made shift
+for a bed for Mercer, and mighty pleasantly to bed.  This night I hear
+that of our two watermen that use to carry our letters, and were well on
+Saturday last, one is dead, and the other dying sick of the plague.  The
+plague, though decreasing elsewhere, yet being greater about the Tower and
+thereabouts.
+
+4th.  Up and to my office, where Mr. Andrews comes, and reckoning with him
+I get L64 of him.  By and by comes Mr. Gawden, and reckoning with him he
+gives me L60 in his account, which is a great mercy to me.  Then both of
+them met and discoursed the business of the first man's resigning and the
+other's taking up the business of the victualling of Tangier, and I do not
+think that I shall be able to do as well under Mr. Gawden as under these
+men, or within a little as to profit and less care upon me.  Thence to the
+King's Head to dinner, where we three and Creed and my wife and her woman
+dined mighty merry and sat long talking, and so in the afternoon broke up,
+and I led my wife to our lodging again, and I to the office where did much
+business, and so to my wife.  This night comes Sir George Smith to see me
+at the office, and tells me how the plague is decreased this week 740, for
+which God be praised!  but that it encreases at our end of the town still,
+and says how all the towne is full of Captain Cocke's being in some ill
+condition about prize-goods, his goods being taken from him, and I know
+not what.  But though this troubles me to have it said, and that it is
+likely to be a business in Parliament, yet I am not much concerned at it,
+because yet I believe this newes is all false, for he would have wrote to
+me sure about it.  Being come to my wife, at our lodging, I did go to bed,
+and left my wife with her people to laugh and dance and I to sleep.
+
+5th.  Lay long in bed talking among other things of my sister Pall, and my
+wife of herself is very willing that I should give her L400 to her
+portion, and would have her married soon as we could; but this great
+sicknesse time do make it unfit to send for her up.  I abroad to the
+office and thence to the Duke of Albemarle, all my way reading a book of
+Mr. Evelyn's translating and sending me as a present, about directions for
+gathering a Library;
+
+     [Instructions concerning erecting of a Library, presented to my
+     Lord the President De Mesme by Gilbert Naudeus, and now interpreted
+     by Jo.  Evelyn, Esquire.  London, 1661: This little book was
+     dedicated to Lord Clarendon by the translator.  It was printed while
+     Evelyn was abroad, and is full of typographical errors; these are
+     corrected in a copy mentioned in Evelyn's "Miscellaneous Writings,"
+     1825, p.  xii, where a letter to Dr. Godolphin on the subject is
+     printed.]
+
+but the book is above my reach, but his epistle to my Lord Chancellor is a
+very fine piece.  When I come to the Duke it was about the victuallers'
+business, to put it into other hands, or more hands, which I do advise in,
+but I hope to do myself a jobb of work in it.  So I walked through
+Westminster to my old house the Swan, and there did pass some time with
+Sarah, and so down by water to Deptford and there to my Valentine.
+
+          [A Mrs. Bagwell.  See ante, February 14th, 1664-65]
+
+Round about and next door on every side is the plague, but I did not value
+it, but there did what I would 'con elle', and so away to Mr. Evelyn's to
+discourse of our confounded business of prisoners, and sick and wounded
+seamen, wherein he and we are so much put out of order.
+
+     [Each of the Commissioners for the Sick and Wounded was appointed to
+     a particular district, and Evelyn's district was Kent and Sussex.
+     On September 25th, 1665, Evelyn wrote in his Diary: "My Lord Admiral
+     being come from ye fleete to Greenewich, I went thence with him to
+     ye Cockpit to consult with the Duke of Albemarle.  I was peremptory
+     that unlesse we had L10,000 immediately, the prisoners would starve,
+     and 'twas proposed it should be rais'd out of the E. India prizes
+     now taken by Lord Sandwich.  They being but two of ye Commission,
+     and so not impower'd to determine, sent an expresse to his Majesty
+     and Council to know what they should do."]
+
+And here he showed me his gardens, which are for variety of evergreens,
+and hedge of holly, the finest things I ever saw in my life.
+
+     [Evelyn purchased Sayes Court, Deptford, in 1653, and laid out his
+     gardens, walks, groves, enclosures, and plantations, which
+     afterwards became famous for their beauty.  When he took the place
+     in hand it was nothing but an open field of one hundred acres, with
+     scarcely a hedge in it.]
+
+Thence in his coach to Greenwich, and there to my office, all the way
+having fine discourse of trees and the nature of vegetables.  And so to
+write letters, I very late to Sir W. Coventry of great concernment, and so
+to my last night's lodging, but my wife is gone home to Woolwich.  The
+Bill, blessed be God! is less this week by 740 of what it was the last
+week.  Being come to my lodging I got something to eat, having eat little
+all the day, and so to bed, having this night renewed my promises of
+observing my vowes as I used to do; for I find that, since I left them
+off, my mind is run a'wool-gathering and my business neglected.
+
+6th.  Up, and having sent for Mr. Gawden he come to me, and he and I
+largely discoursed the business of his Victualling, in order to the adding
+of partners to him or other ways of altering it, wherein I find him ready
+to do anything the King would have him do.  So he and I took his coach and
+to Lambeth and to the Duke of Albemarle about it, and so back again, where
+he left me.  In our way discoursing of the business and contracting a
+great friendship with him, and I find he is a man most worthy to be made a
+friend, being very honest and gratefull, and in the freedom of our
+discourse he did tell me his opinion and knowledge of Sir W. Pen to be,
+what I know him to be, as false a man as ever was born, for so, it seems,
+he hath been to him.  He did also tell me, discoursing how things are
+governed as to the King's treasure, that, having occasion for money in the
+country, he did offer Alderman Maynell to pay him down money here, to be
+paid by the Receiver in some county in the country, upon whom Maynell had
+assignments, in whose hands the money also lay ready.  But Maynell refused
+it, saying that he could have his money when he would, and had rather it
+should lie where it do than receive it here in towne this sickly time,
+where he hath no occasion for it.  But now the evil is that he hath lent
+this money upon tallys which are become payable, but he finds that nobody
+looks after it, how long the money is unpaid, and whether it lies dead in
+the Receiver's hands or no, so the King he pays Maynell 10 per cent. while
+the money lies in his Receiver's hands to no purpose but the benefit of
+the Receiver.  I to dinner to the King's Head with Mr. Woolly, who is come
+to instruct me in the business of my goods, but gives me not so good
+comfort as I thought I should have had.  But, however, it will be well
+worth my time though not above 2 or L300.  He gone I to my office, where
+very busy drawing up a letter by way of discourse to the Duke of Albemarle
+about my conception how the business of the Victualling should be ordered,
+wherein I have taken great pains, and I think have hitt the right if they
+will but follow it.  At this very late and so home to our lodgings to bed.
+
+7th.  Up and to the office along with Mr. Childe, whom I sent for to
+discourse about the victualling business, who will not come into
+partnership (no more will Captain Beckford ), but I do find him a mighty
+understanding man, and one I will keep a knowledge of.  Did business,
+though not much, at the office; because of the horrible crowd and
+lamentable moan of the poor seamen that lie starving in the streets for
+lack of money.  Which do trouble and perplex me to the heart; and more at
+noon when we were to go through them, for then a whole hundred of them
+followed us; some cursing, some swearing, and some praying to us.  And
+that that made me more troubled was a letter come this afternoon from the
+Duke of Albemarle, signifying the Dutch to be in sight, with 80 sayle,
+yesterday morning, off of Solebay, coming right into the bay.  God knows
+what they will and may do to us, we having no force abroad able to oppose
+them, but to be sacrificed to them.  Here come Sir W. Rider to me, whom I
+sent for about the victualling business also, but he neither will not come
+into partnership, but desires to be of the Commission if there be one.
+Thence back the back way to my office, where very late, very busy. But
+most of all when at night come two waggons from Rochester with more goods
+from Captain Cocke; and in houseing them at Mr. Tooker's lodgings come two
+of the Custome-house to seize them, and did seize them but I showed them
+my 'Transire'.  However, after some hot and angry words, we locked them
+up, and sealed up the key, and did give it to the constable to keep till
+Monday, and so parted.  But, Lord!  to think how the poor constable come
+to me in the dark going home; "Sir," says he, "I have the key, and if you
+would have me do any service for you, send for me betimes to-morrow
+morning, and I will do what you would have me."  Whether the fellow do
+this out of kindness or knavery, I cannot tell; but it is pretty to
+observe.  Talking with him in the high way, come close by the bearers with
+a dead corpse of the plague; but, Lord! to see what custom is, that I am
+come almost to think nothing of it.  So to my lodging, and there, with Mr.
+Hater and Will, ending a business of the state of the last six months'
+charge of the Navy, which we bring to L1,000,000 and above, and I think we
+do not enlarge much in it if anything.  So to bed.
+
+8th (Lord's day).  Up and, after being trimmed, to the office, whither I
+upon a letter from the Duke of Albemarle to me, to order as many ships
+forth out of the river as I can presently, to joyne to meet the Dutch;
+having ordered all the Captains of the ships in the river to come to me, I
+did some business with them, and so to Captain Cocke's to dinner, he being
+in the country.  But here his brother Solomon was, and, for guests,
+myself, Sir G. Smith, and a very fine lady, one Mrs. Penington, and two
+more gentlemen.  But, both [before] and after dinner, most witty discourse
+with this lady, who is a very fine witty lady, one of the best I ever
+heard speake, and indifferent handsome.  There after dinner an houre or
+two, and so to the office, where ended my business with the Captains; and
+I think of twenty-two ships we shall make shift to get out seven.  (God
+helpe us! men being sick, or provisions lacking.) And so to write letters
+to Sir Ph. Warwicke, Sir W. Coventry, and Sir G. Carteret to Court about
+the last six months' accounts, and sent away by an express to-night.  This
+day I hear the Pope is dead;--[a false report]--and one said, that the
+newes is, that the King of France is stabbed, but that the former is very
+true, which will do great things sure, as to the troubling of that part of
+the world, the King of Spayne
+
+     [Philip IV., King of Spain, who succeeded to the throne in 1621,
+     died in 1665.  He was succeeded by his son Charles II.]
+
+being so lately dead.  And one thing more, Sir Martin Noell's lady is dead
+with griefe for the death of her husband and nothing else, as they say, in
+the world; but it seems nobody can make anything of his estate, whether he
+be dead worth anything or no, he having dealt in so many things, publique
+and private, as nobody can understand whereabouts his estate is, which is
+the fate of these great dealers at everything.  So after my business being
+done I home to my lodging and to bed,
+
+9th.  Up, my head full of business, and called upon also by Sir John Shaw,
+to whom I did give a civil answer about our prize goods, that all his dues
+as one of the Farmers of the Customes are paid, and showed him our
+Transire; with which he was satisfied, and parted, ordering his servants
+to see the weight of them.  I to the office, and there found an order for
+my coming presently to the Duke of Albemarle, and what should it be, but
+to tell me, that, if my Lord Sandwich do not come to towne, he do resolve
+to go with the fleete to sea himself, the Dutch, as he thinks, being in
+the Downes, and so desired me to get a pleasure boat for to take him in
+to-morrow morning, and do many other things, and with a great liking of
+me, and my management especially, as that coxcombe my Lord Craven do tell
+me, and I perceive it, and I am sure take pains enough to deserve it.
+Thence away and to the office at London, where I did some business about
+my money and private accounts, and there eat a bit of goose of Mr.
+Griffin's, and so by water, it raining most miserably, to Greenwich,
+calling on several vessels in my passage.  Being come there I hear another
+seizure hath been made of our goods by one Captain Fisher that hath been
+at Chatham by warrant of the Duke of Albemarle, and is come in my absence
+to Tooker's and viewed them, demanding the key of the constable, and so
+sealed up the door.  I to the house, but there being no officers nor
+constable could do nothing, but back to my office full of trouble about
+this, and there late about business, vexed to see myself fall into this
+trouble and concernment in a thing that I want instruction from my Lord
+Sandwich whether I should appear in it or no, and so home to bed, having
+spent two hours, I and my boy, at Mr. Glanvill's removing of faggots to
+make room to remove our goods to, but when done I thought it not fit to
+use it.  The newes of the killing of the [King of] France is wholly
+untrue, and they say that of the Pope too.
+
+10th.  Up, and receive a stop from the Duke of Albemarle of setting out
+any more ships, or providing a pleasure boat for himself, which I am glad
+of, and do see, what I thought yesterday, that this resolution of his was
+a sudden one and silly.  By and by comes Captain Cocke's Jacob to tell me
+that he is come from Chatham this morning, and that there are four waggons
+of goods at hand coming to towne, which troubles me.  I directed him to
+bring them to his master's house.  But before I could send him away to
+bring them thither, newes is brought me that they are seized on in the
+towne by this Captain Fisher and they will carry them to another place.
+So I to them and found our four waggons in the streete stopped by the
+church by this Fisher and company and 100 or 200 people in the streetes
+gazing.  I did give them good words, and made modest desires of carrying
+the goods to Captain Cocke's, but they would have them to a house of their
+hiring, where in a barne the goods were laid.  I had transires to show for
+all, and the tale was right, and there I spent all the morning seeing this
+done.  At which Fisher was vexed that I would not let it be done by any
+body else for the merchant, and that I must needs be concerned therein,
+which I did not think fit to owne.  So that being done, I left the goods
+to be watched by men on their part and ours, and so to the office by noon,
+whither by and by comes Captain Cocke, whom I had with great care sent for
+by expresse the last night, and so I with him to his house and there eat a
+bit, and so by coach to Lambeth, and I took occasion first to go to the
+Duke of Albemarle to acquaint him with some thing of what had been done
+this morning in behalf of a friend absent, which did give a good entrance
+and prevented their possessing the Duke with anything of evil of me by
+their report, and by and by in comes. Captain Cocke and tells his whole
+story.  So an order was made for the putting him in possession upon giving
+security to, be accountable for the goods, which for the present did
+satisfy us, and so away, giving Locke that drew the order a piece.  (Lord!
+to see how unhappily a man may fall into a necessity of bribing people to
+do him right in a thing, wherein he hath done nothing but fair, and bought
+dear.) So to the office, there to write my letters, and Cocke comes to
+tell me that Fisher is come to him, and that he doubts not to cajole
+Fisher and his companion and make them friends with drink and a bribe.
+This night comes Sir Christopher Mings to towne, and I went to see him,
+and by and by he being then out of the town comes to see me.  He is newly
+come from Court, and carries direction for the making a show of getting
+out the fleete again to go fight the Dutch, but that it will end in a
+fleete of 20 good sayling frigates to go to the Northward or Southward,
+and that will be all.  I enquired, but he would not be to know that he had
+heard any thing at Oxford about the business of the prize goods, which I
+did suspect, but he being gone, anon comes Cocke and tells me that he hath
+been with him a great while, and that he finds him sullen and speaking
+very high what disrespect he had received of my Lord, saying that he hath
+walked 3 or 4 hours together at that Earle's cabbin door for audience and
+could not be received, which, if true, I am sorry for.  He tells me that
+Sir G. Ascue says, that he did from the beginning declare against these
+[prize] goods, and would not receive his dividend; and that he and Sir W.
+Pen are at odds about it, and that he fears Mings hath been doing ill
+offices to my Lord.  I did to-night give my Lord an account of all this,
+and so home and to bed.

+11th.  Up, and so in my chamber staid all the morning doing something
+toward my Tangier accounts, for the stating of them, and also comes up my
+landlady, Mrs. Clerke, to make an agreement for the time to come; and I,
+for the having room enough, and to keepe out strangers, and to have a
+place to retreat to for my wife, if the sicknesse should come to Woolwich,
+am contented to pay dear; so for three rooms and a dining-room, and for
+linen and bread and beer and butter, at nights and mornings, I am to give
+her L5 10s.  per month, and I wrote and we signed to an agreement.  By and
+by comes Cocke to tell me that Fisher and his fellow were last night
+mightily satisfied and promised all friendship, but this morning he finds
+them to have new tricks and shall be troubled with them. So he being to go
+down to Erith with them this afternoon about giving security, I advised
+him to let them go by land, and so he and I (having eat something at his
+house) by water to Erith, but they got thither before us, and there we met
+Mr. Seymour, one of the Commissioners for Prizes, and a Parliament-man,
+and he was mighty high, and had now seized our goods on their behalf; and
+he mighty imperiously would have all forfeited, and I know not what.  I
+thought I was in the right in a thing I said and spoke somewhat earnestly,
+so we took up one another very smartly, for which I was sorry afterwards,
+shewing thereby myself too much concerned, but nothing passed that I
+valued at all.  But I could not but think [it odd] that a Parliament-man,
+in a serious discourse before such persons as we and my Lord Bruncker, and
+Sir John Minnes, should quote Hudibras, as being the book I doubt he hath
+read most.  They I doubt will stand hard for high security, and Cocke
+would have had me bound with him for his appearing, but I did stagger at
+it, besides Seymour do stop the doing it at all till he has been with the
+Duke of Albemarle.  So there will be another demurre.  It growing late,
+and I having something to do at home, took my leave alone, leaving Cocke
+there for all night, and so against tide and in the darke and very cold
+weather to Woolwich, where we had appointed to keepe the night merrily;
+and so, by Captain Cocke's coach, had brought a very pretty child, a
+daughter of one Mrs. Tooker's, next door to my lodging, and so she, and a
+daughter and kinsman of Mrs. Pett's made up a fine company at my lodgings
+at Woolwich, where my wife and Mercer, and Mrs. Barbara danced, and mighty
+merry we were, but especially at Mercer's dancing a jigg, which she does
+the best I ever did see, having the most natural way of it, and keeps time
+the most perfectly I ever did see.  This night is kept in lieu of
+yesterday, for my wedding day of ten years; for which God be praised!
+being now in an extreme good condition of health and estate and honour,
+and a way of getting more money, though at this houre under some
+discomposure, rather than damage, about some prize goods that I have
+bought off the fleete, in partnership with Captain Cocke; and for the
+discourse about the world concerning my Lord Sandwich, that he hath done a
+thing so bad; and indeed it must needs have been a very rash act; and the
+rather because of a Parliament now newly met to give money, and will have
+some account of what hath already been spent, besides the precedent for a
+General to take what prizes he pleases, and the giving a pretence to take
+away much more than he intended, and all will lie upon him; and not giving
+to all the Commanders, as well as the Flaggs, he displeases all them, and
+offends even some of them, thinking others to be better served than
+themselves; and lastly, puts himself out of a power of begging anything
+again a great while of the King.  Having danced with my people as long as
+I saw fit to sit up, I to bed and left them to do what they would.  I
+forgot that we had W. Hewer there, and Tom, and Golding, my barber at
+Greenwich, for our fiddler, to whom I did give 10s.
+
+12th.  Called up before day, and so I dressed myself and down, it being
+horrid cold, by water to my Lord Bruncker's ship, who advised me to do so,
+and it was civilly to show me what the King had commanded about the
+prize-goods, to examine most severely all that had been done in the taking
+out any with or without order, without respect to my Lord Sandwich at all,
+and that he had been doing of it, and find him examining one man, and I do
+find that extreme ill use was made of my Lord's order.  For they did toss
+and tumble and spoil, and breake things in hold to a great losse and shame
+to come at the fine goods, and did take a man that knows where the fine
+goods were, and did this over and over again for many days, Sir W.
+Berkeley being the chief hand that did it, but others did the like at
+other times, and they did say in doing it that my Lord Sandwich's back was
+broad enough to bear it.  Having learned as much as I could, which was,
+that the King and Duke were very severe in this point, whatever order they
+before had given my Lord in approbation of what he had done, and that all
+will come out and the King see, by the entries at the Custome House, what
+all do amount to that had been taken, and so I took leave, and by water,
+very cold, and to Woolwich where it was now noon, and so I staid dinner
+and talking part of the afternoon, and then by coach, Captain Cocke's, to
+Greenwich, taking the young lady home, and so to Cocke, and he tells me
+that he hath cajolled with Seymour, who will be our friend; but that,
+above all, Seymour tells him, that my Lord Duke did shew him to-day an
+order from Court, for having all respect paid to the Earle of Sandwich,
+and what goods had been delivered by his order, which do overjoy us, and
+that to-morrow our goods shall be weighed, and he doubts not possession
+to-morrow or next day.  Being overjoyed at this I to write my letters, and
+at it very late.  Good newes this week that there are about 600 less dead
+of the plague than the last.  So home to bed.
+
+13th.  Lay long, and this morning comes Sir Jer. Smith
+
+     [Captain Jeremiah Smith (or Smyth), knighted June, 1665; Admiral of
+     the Blue in 1666.  He succeeded Sir William Penn as Comptroller of
+     the Victualling Accounts in 1669, and held the office until 1675.]
+
+to see me in his way to Court, and a good man he is, and one that I must
+keep fair with, and will, it being I perceive my interest to have
+kindnesse with the Commanders.  So to the office, and there very busy till
+about noon comes Sir W. Warren, and he goes and gets a bit of meat ready
+at the King's Head for us, and I by and by thither, and we dined together,
+and I am not pleased with him about a little business of Tangier that I
+put to him to do for me, but however, the hurt is not much, and his other
+matters of profit to me continue very likely to be good.  Here we spent
+till 2 o'clock, and so I set him on shore, and I by water to the Duke of
+Albemarle, where I find him with Lord Craven and Lieutenant of the Tower
+about him; among other things, talking of ships to get of the King to
+fetch coles for the poore of the city, which is a good worke.  But, Lord!
+to hear the silly talke between these three great people!  Yet I have no
+reason to find fault, the Duke and Lord Craven being my very great
+friends.  Here did the business I come about, and so back home by water,
+and there Cocke comes to me and tells me that he is come to an
+understanding with Fisher, and that he must give him L100, and that he
+shall have his goods in possession to-morrow, they being all weighed
+to-day, which pleases me very well.  This day the Duke tells me that there
+is no news heard of the Dutch, what they do or where they are, but
+believes that they are all gone home, for none of our spyes can give us
+any tideings of them.  Cocke is fain to keep these people, Fisher and his
+fellow, company night and day to keep them friends almost and great
+troubles withal.  My head is full of settling the victualling business
+also, that I may make some profit out of it, which I hope justly to do to
+the King's advantage.  To-night come Sir J. Bankes to me upon my letter to
+discourse it with him, and he did give me the advice I have taken almost
+as fully as if I had been directed by him what to write.  The business
+also of my Tangier accounts to be sent to Court is upon my hands in great
+haste; besides, all my owne proper accounts are in great disorder, having
+been neglected now above a month, which grieves me, but it could not be
+settled sooner.  These together and the feare of the sicknesse and
+providing for my family do fill my head very full, besides the infinite
+business of the office, and nobody here to look after it but myself.  So
+late from my office to my lodgings, and to bed.
+
+14th.  Up, and to the office, where mighty busy, especially with Mr.
+Gawden, with whom I shall, I think, have much to do, and by and by comes
+the Lieutenant of the Tower by my invitation yesterday, but I had got
+nothing for him, it is to discourse about the Cole shipps.  So he went
+away to Sheriffe Hooker's, and I staid at the office till he sent for me
+at noon to dinner, I very hungry.  When I come to the Sheriffe's he was
+not there, nor in many other places, nor could find him at all, so was
+forced to come to the office and get a bit of meat from the taverne, and
+so to my business.  By and by comes the Lieutenant and reproaches me with
+my not treating him as I ought, but all in jest, he it seemed dined with
+Mr. Adrian May.  Very late writing letters at the office, and much
+satisfied to hear from Captain Cocke that he had got possession of some of
+his goods to his own house, and expected to have all to-night.  The towne,
+I hear, is full of talke that there are great differences in the fleete
+among the great Commanders, and that Mings at Oxford did impeach my Lord
+of something, I think about these goods, but this is but talke. But my
+heart and head to-night is full of the Victualling business, being
+overjoyed and proud at my success in my proposal about it, it being read
+before the King, Duke, and the Caball with complete applause and
+satisfaction.  This Sir G. Carteret and Sir W. Coventry both writ me,
+besides Sir W. Coventry's letter to the Duke of Albemarle, which I read
+yesterday, and I hope to find my profit in it also.  So late home to bed.
+
+15th (Lord's day).  Up, and while I staid for the barber, tried to compose
+a duo of counterpoint, and I think it will do very well, it being by Mr.
+Berckenshaw's rule.  By and by by appointment comes Mr. Povy's coach, and,
+more than I expected, him himself, to fetch me to Brainford: so he and I
+immediately set out, having drunk a draft of mulled sacke; and so rode
+most nobly, in his most pretty and best contrived charriott in the world,
+with many new conveniences, his never having till now, within a day or
+two, been yet finished; our discourse upon Tangier business, want of
+money, and then of publique miscarriages, nobody minding the publique, but
+every body himself and his lusts.  Anon we come to his house, and there I
+eat a bit, and so with fresh horses, his noble fine horses, the best
+confessedly in England, the King having none such, he sent me to Sir
+Robert Viner's, whom I met coming just from church, and so after having
+spent half-an-hour almost looking upon the horses with some gentlemen that
+were in company, he and I into his garden to discourse of money, but none
+is to be had, he confessing himself in great straits, and I believe it.
+Having this answer, and that I could not get better, we fell to publique
+talke, and to think how the fleete and seamen will be paid, which he
+protests he do not think it possible to compass, as the world is now: no
+money got by trade, nor the persons that have it by them in the City to be
+come at.  The Parliament, it seems, have voted the King L1,250,000 at
+L50,000 per month, tax for the war; and voted to assist the King against
+the Dutch, and all that shall adhere to them; and thanks to be given him
+for his care of the Duke of Yorke, which last is a very popular vote on
+the Duke's behalf.  He tells me how the taxes of the last assessment,
+which should have been in good part gathered, are not yet laid, and that
+even in part of the City of London; and the Chimny-money comes almost to
+nothing, nor any thing else looked after.  Having done this I parted, my
+mind not eased by any money, but only that I had done my part to the
+King's service.  And so in a very pleasant evening back to Mr. Povy's, and
+there supped, and after supper to talke and to sing, his man Dutton's wife
+singing very pleasantly (a mighty fat woman), and I wrote out one song
+from her and pricked the tune, both very pretty. But I did never heare one
+sing with so much pleasure to herself as this lady do, relishing it to her
+very heart, which was mighty pleasant.
+
+16th.  Up about seven o'clock; and, after drinking, and I observing Mr.
+Povy's being mightily mortifyed in his eating and drinking, and coaches
+and horses, he desiring to sell his best, and every thing else, his
+furniture of his house, he walked with me to Syon,
+
+     [Sion House, granted by Edward VI. to his uncle, the Duke of
+     Somerset.  After his execution, 1552, it was forfeited, and given to
+     John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland.  The duke being beheaded in
+     1553, it reverted to the Crown, and was granted in 1604 to Henry
+     Percy, Earl of Northumberland.  It still belongs to the Duke of
+     Northumberland.]
+
+and there I took water, in our way he discoursing of the wantonnesse of
+the Court, and how it minds nothing else, and I saying that that would
+leave the King shortly if he did not leave it, he told me "No," for the
+King do spend most of his time in feeling and kissing them naked .  .  .
+But this lechery will never leave him.  Here I took boat (leaving him
+there) and down to the Tower, where I hear the Duke of Albemarle is, and I
+to Lumbard Streete, but can get no money.  So upon the Exchange, which is
+very empty, God knows! and but mean people there.  The newes for certain
+that the Dutch are come with their fleete before Margett, and some men
+were endeavouring to come on shore when the post come away, perhaps to
+steal some sheep.  But, Lord! how Colvill talks of the businesse of
+publique revenue like a madman, and yet I doubt all true; that nobody
+minds it, but that the King and Kingdom must speedily be undone, and rails
+at my Lord about the prizes, but I think knows not my relation to him.
+Here I endeavoured to satisfy all I could, people about Bills of Exchange
+from Tangier, but it is only with good words, for money I have not, nor
+can get.  God knows what will become of all the King's matters in a little
+time, for he runs in debt every day, and nothing to pay them looked after.
+Thence I walked to the Tower; but, Lord! how empty the streets are and
+melancholy, so many poor sick people in the streets full of sores; and so
+many sad stories overheard as I walk, every body talking of this dead, and
+that man sick, and so many in this place, and so many in that.  And they
+tell me that, in Westminster, there is never a physician and but one
+apothecary left, all being dead; but that there are great hopes of a great
+decrease this week: God send it!  At the Tower found my Lord Duke and
+Duchesse at dinner; so I sat down.  And much good cheer, the Lieutenant
+and his lady, and several officers with the Duke.  But, Lord! to hear the
+silly talk that was there, would make one mad; the Duke having none almost
+but fools about him.  Much of their talke about the Dutch coming on shore,
+which they believe they may some of them have been and steal sheep, and
+speak all in reproach of them in whose hands the fleete is; but, Lord
+helpe him, there is something will hinder him and all the world in going
+to sea, which is want of victuals; for we have not wherewith to answer our
+service; and how much better it would have been if the Duke's advice had
+been taken for the fleete to have gone presently out; but, God helpe the
+King! while no better counsels are given, and what is given no better
+taken.  Thence after dinner receiving many commands from the Duke, I to
+our office on the Hill, and there did a little business and to Colvill's
+again, and so took water at the Tower, and there met with Captain Cocke,
+and he down with me to Greenwich, I having received letters from my Lord
+Sandwich to-day, speaking very high about the prize goods, that he would
+have us to fear nobody, but be very confident in what we have done, and
+not to confess any fault or doubt of what he hath done; for the King hath
+allowed it, and do now confirm it, and sent orders, as he says, for
+nothing to be disturbed that his Lordshipp hath ordered therein as to the
+division of the goods to the fleete; which do comfort us, but my Lord
+writes to me that both he and I may hence learn by what we see in this
+business.  But that which pleases me best is that Cocke tells me that he
+now understands that Fisher was set on in this business by the design of
+some of the Duke of Albemarle's people, Warcupp and others, who lent him
+money to set him out in it, and he has spent high.  Who now curse him for
+a rogue to take L100 when he might have had as well L1,500, and they are
+mightily fallen out about it.  Which in due time shall be discovered, but
+that now that troubles me afresh is, after I am got to the office at
+Greenwich that some new troubles are come, and Captain Cocke's house is
+beset before and behind with guards, and more, I do fear they may come to
+my office here to search for Cocke's goods and find some small things of
+my clerk's.  So I assisted them in helping to remove their small trade,
+but by and by I am told that it is only the Custome House men who came to
+seize the things that did lie at Mr. Glanville's, for which they did never
+yet see our Transire, nor did know of them till to-day.  So that my fear
+is now over, for a transire is ready for them.  Cocke did get a great many
+of his goods to London to-day.  To the Still Yarde, which place, however,
+is now shut up of the plague; but I was there, and we now make no bones of
+it.  Much talke there is of the Chancellor's speech and the King's at the
+Parliament's meeting, which are very well liked; and that we shall
+certainly, by their speeches, fall out with France at this time, together
+with the Dutch, which will find us work.  Late at the office entering my
+Journall for 8 days past, the greatness of my business hindering me of
+late to put it down daily, but I have done it now very true and
+particularly, and hereafter will, I hope, be able to fall into my old way
+of doing it daily.  So to my lodging, and there had a good pullet to my
+supper, and so to bed, it being very cold again, God be thanked for it!
+
+17th.  Up, and all day long busy at the office, mighty busy, only stepped
+to my lodging and had a fowl for my dinner, and at night my wife and
+Mercer comes to me, which troubled me a little because I am to be mighty
+busy to-morrow all day seriously about my accounts.  So late from my
+office to her, and supped, and so to bed.
+
+18th.  Up, and after some pleasant discourse with my wife (though my head
+full of business) I out and left her to go home, and myself to the office,
+and thence by water to the Duke of Albemarle's, and so back again and find
+my wife gone.  So to my chamber at my lodgings, and to the making of my
+accounts up of Tangier, which I did with great difficulty, finding the
+difference between short and long reckonings where I have had occasion to
+mix my moneys, as I have of late done my Tangier treasure upon other
+occasions, and other moneys upon that.  However, I was at it late and did
+it pretty perfectly, and so, after eating something, to bed, my mind eased
+of a great deal of figures and castings.
+
+19th.  Up, and to my accounts again, and stated them very clear and fair,
+and at noon dined at my lodgings with Mr. Hater and W. Hewer at table with
+me, I being come to an agreement yesterday with my landlady for L6 per
+month, for so many rooms for myself, them, and my wife and mayde, when she
+shall come, and to pay besides for my dyett.  After dinner I did give them
+my accounts and letters to write against I went to the Duke of Albemarle's
+this evening, which I did; and among other things, spoke to him for my
+wife's brother, Balty, to be of his guard, which he kindly answered that
+he should.  My business of the Victualling goes on as I would have it; and
+now my head is full how to make some profit of it to myself or people.  To
+that end, when I came home, I wrote a letter to Mr. Coventry, offering
+myself to be the Surveyor Generall, and am apt to think he will assist me
+in it, but I do not set my heart much on it, though it would be a good
+helpe.  So back to my office, and there till past one before I could get
+all these letters and papers copied out, which vexed me, but so sent them
+away without hopes of saving the post, and so to my lodging to bed.
+
+20th.  Up, and had my last night's letters brought back to me, which
+troubles me, because of my accounts, lest they should be asked for before
+they come, which I abhorr, being more ready to give than they can be to
+demand them: so I sent away an expresse to Oxford with them, and another
+to Portsmouth, with a copy of my letter to Mr. Coventry about my
+victualling business, for fear he should be gone from Oxford, as he
+intended, thither.  So busy all the morning and at noon to Cocke, and
+dined there.  He and I alone, vexed that we are not rid of all our trouble
+about our goods, but it is almost over, and in the afternoon to my
+lodging, and there spent the whole afternoon and evening with Mr. Hater,
+discoursing of the business of the office, where he tells me that among
+others Thomas Willson do now and then seem to hint that I do take too much
+business upon me, more than I can do, and that therefore some do lie
+undone.  This I confess to my trouble is true, but it arises from my being
+forced to take so much on me, more than is my proper task to undertake.
+But for this at last I did advise to him to take another clerk if he
+thinks fit, I will take care to have him paid.  I discoursed also much
+with him about persons fit to be put into the victualling business, and
+such as I could spare something out of their salaries for them, but
+without trouble I cannot, I see, well do it, because Thomas Willson must
+have the refusal of the best place which is London of L200 per annum,
+which I did intend for Tooker, and to get L50 out of it as a help to Mr.
+Hater.  How[ever], I will try to do something of this kind for them.
+Having done discourse with him late, I to enter my Tangier accounts fair,
+and so to supper and to bed.
+
+21 st.  Up, and to my office, where busy all the morning, and then with my
+two clerks home to dinner, and so back again to the office, and there very
+late very busy, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+22nd (Lord's day).  Up, and after ready and going to Captain Cocke's,
+where I find we are a little further safe in some part of our goods, I to
+Church, in my way was meeting with some letters, which made me resolve to
+go after church to my Lord Duke of Albemarle's, so, after sermon, I took
+Cocke's chariott, and to Lambeth; but, in going and getting over the
+water, and through White Hall, I spent so much time, the Duke had almost
+dined.  However, fresh meat was brought for me to his table, and there I
+dined, and full of discourse and very kind.  Here they are again talking
+of the prizes, and my Lord Duke did speake very broad that my Lord
+Sandwich and Pen should do what they would, and answer for themselves.
+For his part, he would lay all before the King.  Here he tells me the
+Dutch Embassador at Oxford is clapped up, but since I hear it is not true.
+Thence back again, it being evening before I could get home, and there
+Cocke not being within, I and Mr. Salomon to Mr. Glanville's, and there we
+found Cocke and sat and supped, and was mighty merry with only Madam
+Penington, who is a fine, witty lady.  Here we spent the evening late with
+great mirth, and so home and to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up, and after doing some business I down by water, calling to see
+my wife, with whom very merry for ten minutes, and so to Erith, where my
+Lord Bruncker and I kept the office, and dispatched some business by
+appointment on the Bezan.  Among other things about the slopsellers, who
+have trusted us so long, they are not able, nor can be expected to trust
+us further, and I fear this winter the fleete will be undone by that
+particular.  Thence on board the East India ship, where my Lord Bruncker
+had provided a great dinner, and thither comes by and by Sir John Minnes
+and before him Sir W. Warren and anon a Perspective glasse maker, of whom
+we, every one, bought a pocket glasse.  But I am troubled with the much
+talke and conceitedness of Mrs. Williams and her impudence, in case she be
+not married to my Lord.  They are getting themselves ready to deliver the
+goods all out to the East India Company, who are to have the goods in
+their possession and to advance two thirds of the moderate value thereof
+and sell them as well as they can and the King to give them 6 per cent.
+for the use of the money they shall so advance.  By this means the company
+will not suffer by the King's goods bringing down the price of their own.
+Thence in the evening back again with Sir W. Warren and Captain Taylor in
+my boat, and the latter went with me to the office, and there he and I
+reckoned; and I perceive I shall get L100 profit by my services of late to
+him, which is a very good thing.  Thence to my lodging, where I find my
+Lord Rutherford, of which I was glad.  We supped together and sat up late,
+he being a mighty wanton man with a daughter in law of my landlady's, a
+pretty conceited woman big with child, and he would be handling her
+breasts, which she coyly refused.  But they gone, my Lord and I to
+business, and he would have me forbear paying Alderman Backewell the money
+ordered him, which I, in hopes to advantage myself, shall forbear, but do
+not think that my Lord will do any thing gratefully more to me than he
+hath done, not that I shall get any thing as I pretended by helping him to
+interest for his last L7700, which I could do, and do him a courtesy too.
+Discourse being done, he to bed in my chamber and I to another in the
+house.
+
+24th.  Lay long, having a cold.  Then to my Lord and sent him going to
+Oxford, and I to my office, whither comes Sir William Batten now newly
+from Oxford.  I can gather nothing from him about my Lord Sandwich about
+the business of the prizes, he being close, but he shewed me a bill which
+hath been read in the House making all breaking of bulke for the time to
+come felony, but it is a foolish Act, and will do no great matter, only is
+calculated to my Lord Sandwich's case.  He shewed me also a good letter
+printed from the Bishopp of Munster to the States of Holland shewing the
+state of their case.  Here we did some business and so broke up and I to
+Cocke, where Mr. Evelyn was, to dinner, and there merry, yet vexed again
+at publique matters, and to see how little heed is had to the prisoners
+and sicke and wounded.  Thence to my office, and no sooner there but to my
+great surprise am told that my Lord Sandwich is come to towne; so I
+presently to Boreman's, where he is and there found him: he mighty kind to
+me, but no opportunity of discourse private yet, which he tells me he must
+have with me; only his business is sudden to go to the fleece, to get out
+a few ships to drive away the Dutch.  I left him in discourse with Sir W.
+Batten and others, and myself to the office till about 10 at night and so,
+letters being done, I to him again to Captain Cocke's, where he supped,
+and lies, and never saw him more merry, and here is Charles Herbert, who
+the King hath lately knighted.
+
+     [This person, erroneously called by Pepys Sir C. Herbert, will be
+     best defined by subjoining the inscription on his monument in
+     Westminster Abbey: "Sir Charles Harbord, Knight, third son of Sir
+     Charles Harbord, Knight, Surveyor-General, and First Lieutenant of
+     the Royall James, under the most noble and illustrious Captaine,
+     Edward, Earle of Sandwich, Vice-Admirall of England, which, after a
+     terrible fight, maintained to admiration against a squadron of the
+     Holland fleet, above six hours, neere the Suffolk coast, having put
+     off two fireships; at last, being utterly disabled, and few of her

+     employments, and in all the engagements of the former warre, dyed
+     with him, at the age of xxxii., much bewailed by his father, whom he
+     never offended; and much beloved by all for his knowne piety,

+
+My Lord, to my great content, did tell me before them, that never anything
+was read to the King and Council, all the chief Ministers of State being
+there, as my letter about the Victualling was, and no more said upon it
+than a most thorough consent to every word was said, and directed, that it
+be pursued and practised.  After much mirth, and my Lord having travelled
+all night last night, he to bed, and we all parted, I home.
+
+25th.  Up and to my Lord Sandwich's, where several Commanders, of whom I
+took the state of all their ships, and of all could find not above four
+capable of going out.  The truth is, the want of victuals being the whole
+overthrow of this yeare both at sea, and now at the Nore here and
+Portsmouth, where all the fleete lies.  By and by comes down my Lord, and
+then he and I an houre together alone upon private discourse.  He tells me
+that Mr. Coventry and he are not reconciled, but declared enemies: the
+only occasion of it being, he tells me, his ill usage from him about the
+first fight, wherein he had no right done him, which, methinks, is a poor
+occasion, for, in my conscience, that was no design of Coventry's.  But,
+however, when I asked my Lord whether it were not best, though with some
+condescension, to be friends with him, he told me it was not possible, and
+so I stopped.  He tells me, as very private, that there are great factions
+at the Court between the King's party and the Duke of Yorke's, and that
+the King, which is a strange difficulty, do favour my Lord in opposition
+to the Duke's party; that my Lord Chancellor, being, to be sure, the
+patron of the Duke's, it is a mystery whence it should be that Mr.
+Coventry is looked upon by him [Clarendon] as an enemy to him; that if he
+had a mind himself to be out of this employment, as Mr. Coventry, he
+believes, wishes, and himself and I do incline to wish it also, in many
+respects, yet he believes he shall not be able, because of the King, who
+will keepe him in on purpose, in opposition to the other party; that
+Prince Rupert and he are all possible friends in the world; that Coventry
+hath aggravated this business of the prizes, though never so great
+plundering in the world as while the Duke and he were at sea; and in Sir
+John Lawson's time he could take and pillage, and then sink a whole ship
+in the Streights, and Coventry say nothing to it; that my Lord Arlington
+is his fast friend; that the Chancellor is cold to him, and though I told
+him that I and the world do take my Lord Chancellor, in his speech the
+other day, to have said as much as could be wished, yet he thinks he did
+not.  That my Lord Chancellor do from hence begin to be cold to him,
+because of his seeing him and Arlington so great: that nothing at Court is
+minded but faction and pleasure, and nothing intended of general good to
+the kingdom by anybody heartily; so that he believes with me, in a little
+time confusion will certainly come over all the nation.  He told me how a
+design was carried on a while ago, for the Duke of Yorke to raise an army
+in the North, and to be the Generall of it, and all this without the
+knowledge or advice of the Duke of Albemarle, which when he come to know,
+he was so vexed, they were fain to let it fall to content him: that his
+matching with the family of Sir G. Carteret do make the difference greater
+between Coventry and him, they being enemies; that the Chancellor did, as
+every body else, speak well of me the other day, but yet was, at the
+Committee for Tangier, angry that I should offer to suffer a bill of
+exchange to be protested.  So my Lord did bid me take heed, for that I
+might easily suppose I could not want enemies, no more than others.  In
+all he speaks with the greatest trust and love and confidence in what I
+say or do, that a man can do.  After this discourse ended we sat down to
+dinner and mighty merry, among other things, at the Bill brought into the
+House to make it felony to break bulke, which, as my Lord says well, will
+make that no prizes shall be taken, or, if taken, shall be sunke after
+plundering; and the Act for the method of gathering this last L1,250,000
+now voted, and how paid wherein are several strange imperfections.  After
+dinner my Lord by a ketch down to Erith, where the Bezan was, it blowing
+these last two days and now both night and day very hard southwardly, so
+that it has certainly drove the Dutch off the coast. My Lord being gone I
+to the office, and there find Captain Ferrers, who tells me his wife is
+come to town to see him, having not seen him since 15 weeks ago at his
+first going to sea last.  She is now at a Taverne and stays all night, so
+I was obliged to give him my house and chamber to lie in, which he with
+great modesty and after much force took, and so I got Mr. Evelyn's coach
+to carry her thither, and the coach coming back, I with Mr. Evelyn to
+Deptford, where a little while with him doing a little business, and so in
+his coach back again to my lodgings, and there sat with Mrs. Ferrers two
+hours, and with my little girle, Mistress Frances Tooker, and very
+pleasant.  Anon the Captain comes, and then to supper very merry, and so I
+led them to bed.  And so to bed myself, having seen my pretty little girle
+home first at the next door.
+
+26th.  Up, and, leaving my guests to make themselves ready, I to the
+office, and thither comes Sir Jer. Smith and Sir Christopher Mings to see
+me, being just come from Portsmouth and going down to the Fleete.  Here I
+sat and talked with them a good while and then parted, only Sir
+Christopher Mings and I together by water to the Tower; and I find him a
+very witty well-spoken fellow, and mighty free to tell his parentage,
+being a shoemaker's son, to whom he is now going, and I to the 'Change,
+where I hear how the French have taken two and sunk one of our
+merchant-men in the Streights, and carried the ships to Toulon; so that
+there is no expectation but we must fall out with them.  The 'Change
+pretty full, and the town begins to be lively again, though the streets
+very empty, and most shops shut.  So back again I and took boat and called
+for Sir Christopher Mings at St. Katharine's, who was followed with some
+ordinary friends, of which, he says, he is proud, and so down to
+Greenwich, the wind furious high, and we with our sail up till I made it
+be taken down. I took him, it being 3 o'clock, to my lodgings and did give
+him a good dinner and so parted, he being pretty close to me as to any
+business of the fleete, knowing me to be a servant of my Lord Sandwich's.
+He gone I to the office till night, and then they come and tell me my wife
+is come to towne, so I to her vexed at her coming, but it was upon
+innocent business, so I was pleased and made her stay, Captain Ferrers and
+his lady being yet there, and so I left them to dance, and I to the office
+till past nine at night, and so to them and there saw them dance very
+prettily, the Captain and his wife, my wife and Mrs. Barbary, and Mercer
+and my landlady's daughter, and then little Mistress Frances Tooker and
+her mother, a pretty woman come to see my wife.  Anon to supper, and then
+to dance again (Golding being our fiddler, who plays very well and all
+tunes) till past twelve at night, and then we broke up and every one to
+bed, we make shift for all our company, Mrs. Tooker being gone.
+
+27th.  Up, and after some pleasant discourse with my wife, I out, leaving
+her and Mrs. Ferrers there, and I to Captain Cocke's, there to do some
+business, and then away with Cocke in his coach through Kent Streete, a
+miserable, wretched, poor place, people sitting sicke and muffled up with
+plasters at every 4 or 5 doors.  So to the 'Change, and thence I by water
+to the Duke of Albemarle's, and there much company, but I staid and dined,
+and he makes mighty much of me; and here he tells us the Dutch are gone,
+and have lost above 160 cables and anchors, through the last foule
+weather.  Here he proposed to me from Mr. Coventry, as I had desired of
+Mr. Coventry, that I should be Surveyor-Generall of the Victualling
+business, which I accepted.  But, indeed, the terms in which Mr. Coventry
+proposes it for me are the most obliging that ever I could expect from any
+man, and more; it saying me to be the fittest man in England, and that he
+is sure, if I will undertake, I will perform it; and that it will be also
+a very desirable thing that I might have this encouragement, my
+encouragement in the Navy alone being in no wise proportionable to my
+pains or deserts.  This, added to the letter I had three days since from
+Mr. Southerne, signifying that the Duke of Yorke had in his master's
+absence opened my letter, and commanded him to tell me that he did approve
+of my being the Surveyor-General, do make me joyful beyond myself that I
+cannot express it, to see that as I do take pains, so God blesses me, and
+hath sent me masters that do observe that I take pains.  After having done
+here, I back by water and to London, and there met with Captain Cocke's
+coach again, and I went in it to Greenwich and thence sent my wife in it
+to Woolwich, and I to the office, and thence home late with Captain
+Taylor, and he and I settled all accounts between us, and I do find that I
+do get above L129 of him for my services for him within these six months.
+At it till almost one in the morning, and after supper he away and I to
+bed, mightily satisfied in all this, and in a resolution I have taken
+to-night with Mr. Hater to propose the port of London for the victualling
+business for Thomas Willson, by which it will be better done and I at more
+ease, in case he should grumble.
+
+     [The Duke of York's letter appointing Thomas Wilson Surveyor of the
+     Victualling of His Majesty's Navy in the Port of London, and
+     referring to Pepys as Surveyor-General of the Victualling Affairs,
+     is printed in "Memoirs of the English Affairs, chiefly Naval, 1660-
+     73," by James, Duke of York, 1729, p. 131.]
+
+So to bed.
+
+28th.  Up, and sent for Thomas Willson, and broke the victualling business
+to him and he is mightily contented, and so am I that I have bestowed it
+on him, and so I to Mr. Boreman's, where Sir W. Batten is, to tell him
+what I had proposed to Thomas Willson, and the newes also I have this
+morning from Sir W. Clerke, which is, that notwithstanding all the care
+the Duke of Albemarle hath taken about the putting the East India prize
+goods into the East India Company's hands, and my Lord Bruncker and Sir J.
+Minnes having laden out a great part of the goods, an order is come from
+Court to stop all, and to have the goods delivered to the
+Sub-Commissioners of prizes.  At which I am glad, because it do vex this
+simple weake man, and we shall have a little reparation for the disgrace
+my Lord Sandwich has had in it.  He tells me also that the Parliament hath
+given the Duke of Yorke L120,000, to be paid him after the L1,250,000 is
+gathered upon the tax which they have now given the King.
+
+     [This sum was granted by the Commons to Charles, with a request that
+     he would bestow it on his brother.--B.]
+
+He tells me that the Dutch have lately launched sixteen new ships; all
+which is great news.  Thence by horsebacke with Mr. Deane to Erith, and so
+aboard my Lord Bruncker and dined, and very merry with him and good
+discourse between them about ship building, and, after dinner and a little
+pleasant discourse, we away and by horse back again to Greenwich, and
+there I to the office very late, offering my persons for all the
+victualling posts much to my satisfaction.  Also much other business I did
+to my mind, and so weary home to my lodging, and there after eating and
+drinking a little I to bed.  The King and Court, they say, have now
+finally resolved to spend nothing upon clothes, but what is of the growth
+of England; which, if observed, will be very pleasing to the people, and
+very good for them.
+
+29th (Lord's day).  Up, and being ready set out with Captain Cocke in his
+coach toward Erith, Mr. Deane riding along with us, where we dined and
+were very merry.  After dinner we fell to discourse about the Dutch, Cocke
+undertaking to prove that they were able to wage warr with us three years
+together, which, though it may be true, yet, not being satisfied with his
+arguments, my Lord and I did oppose the strength of his arguments, which
+brought us to a great heate, he being a conceited man, but of no Logique
+in his head at all, which made my Lord and I mirth. Anon we parted, and
+back again, we hardly having a word all the way, he being so vexed at our
+not yielding to his persuasion.  I was set down at Woolwich towne end, and
+walked through the towne in the darke, it being now night.  But in the
+streete did overtake and almost run upon two women crying and carrying a
+man's coffin between them.  I suppose the husband of one of them, which,
+methinks, is a sad thing.  Being come to Shelden's, I find my people in
+the darke in the dining room, merry and laughing, and, I thought, sporting
+one with another, which, God helpe me! raised my jealousy presently.  Come
+in the darke, and one of them touching me (which afterward I found was
+Susan) made them shreeke, and so went out up stairs, leaving them to light
+a candle and to run out.  I went out and was very vexed till I found my
+wife was gone with Mr. Hill and Mercer this day to see me at Greenwich,
+and these people were at supper, and the candle on a sudden falling out of
+the candlesticke (which I saw as I come through the yarde) and Mrs.
+Barbary being there I was well at ease again, and so bethought myself what
+to do, whether to go to Greenwich or stay there; at last go I would, and
+so with a lanthorne, and 3 or 4  people with me, among others Mr. Browne,
+who was there, would go, I walked with a lanthorne and discoursed with him
+about paynting and the several sorts of it.  I came in good time to
+Greenwich, where I found Mr. Hill with my wife, and very glad I was to see
+him.  To supper and discourse of musique and so to bed, I lying with him
+talking till midnight about Berckenshaw's musique rules, which I did to
+his great satisfaction inform him in, and so to sleep.
+
+30th.  Up, and to my office about business.  At noon to dinner, and after
+some discourse of musique, he and I to the office awhile, and he to get
+Mr. Coleman, if he can, against night.  By and by I back again home, and
+there find him returned with Mr. Coleman (his wife being ill) and Mr.
+Laneare, with whom with their Lute we had excellent company and good
+singing till midnight, and a good supper I did give them, but Coleman's
+voice is quite spoiled, and when he begins to be drunk he is excellent
+company, but afterward troublesome and impertinent.  Laneare sings in a
+melancholy method very well, and a sober man he seems to be.  They being
+gone, we to bed.  Captain Ferrers coming this day from my Lord is forced
+to lodge here, and I put him to Mr. Hill.
+
+31st.  Up, and to the office, Captain Ferrers going back betimes to my
+Lord.  I to the office, where Sir W. Batten met me, and did tell me that
+Captain Cocke's black was dead of the plague, which I had heard of before,
+but took no notice.  By and by Captain Cocke come to the office, and Sir
+W. Batten and I did send to him that he would either forbear the office,
+or forbear going to his owne office.  However, meeting yesterday the
+Searchers with their rods in their hands coming from Captain Cocke's
+house, I did overhear them say that the fellow did not die of the plague,
+but he had I know been ill a good while, and I am told that his boy Jack
+is also ill.  At noon home to dinner, and then to the office again,
+leaving Mr. Hill if he can to get Mrs. Coleman at night.  About nine at
+night I come home, and there find Mrs. Pierce come and little Fran.
+Tooker, and Mr. Hill, and other people, a great many dancing, and anon
+comes Mrs. Coleman with her husband and Laneare.  The dancing ended and to
+sing, which Mrs. Coleman do very finely, though her voice is decayed as to
+strength but mighty sweet though soft, and a pleasant jolly woman, and in
+mighty good humour was to-night.  Among other things Laneare did, at the
+request of Mr. Hill, bring two or three the finest prints for my wife to
+see that ever I did see in all my life.  But for singing, among other
+things, we got Mrs. Coleman to sing part of the Opera, though she won't
+owne that ever she did get any of it without book in order to the stage;
+but, above all, her counterfeiting of Captain Cooke's part, in his
+reproaching his man with cowardice, "Base slave," &c., she do it most
+excellently.  At it till past midnight, and then broke up and to bed.
+Hill and I together again, and being very sleepy we had little discourse
+as we had the other night. Thus we end the month merrily; and the more for
+that, after some fears that the plague would have increased again this
+week, I hear for certain that there is above 400 [less], the whole number
+being 1,388, and of them of the plague, 1,031. Want of money in the Navy
+puts everything out of order.  Men grow mutinous; and nobody here to mind
+the business of the Navy but myself.  At least Sir W. Batten for the few
+days he has been here do nothing.  I in great hopes of my place of
+Surveyor-Generall of the Victualling, which will bring me L300 per annum.

+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.
