+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions,
+all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
+copyright notice is included. Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any
+of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to send us error messages even years after
+the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can surf to them as follows, and just download by date; this is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour this year as we release fifty new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 3000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts unless we
+manage to get some real funding.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+

+fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES

+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims

+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS

+                                  1665
+
+
+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
+     men remaining unhurt, was, by a third, unfortunately set on fire.
+     But he (though he swome well) neglected to save himselfe, as some
+     did, and out of perfect love to that worthy Lord, whom, for many
+     yeares, he had constantly accompanyed, in all his honourable
+     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,
+     vertue, loyalty, fortitude, and fidelity."--B.]
+
+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 LI,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--[Coroners Office ?? D.W.]--
+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.
