+                                1665-1666
+
+January 1st (New-Yeare's Day).  Called up by five o'clock, by my order, by
+Mr. Tooker, who wrote, while I dictated to him, my business of the
+Pursers; and so, without eating or drinking, till three in the afternoon,
+and then, to my great content, finished it.  So to dinner, Gibson and he
+and I, and then to copying it over, Mr. Gibson reading and I writing, and
+went a good way in it till interrupted by Sir W. Warren's coming, of whom
+I always learne something or other, his discourse being very good and his
+brains also.  He being gone we to our business again, and wrote more of it
+fair, and then late to bed.
+
+     [This document is in the British Museum (Harleian MS. 6287), and is
+     entitled, "A Letter from Mr. Pepys, dated at Greenwich, 1 Jan.
+     1665-6, which he calls his New Year's Gift to his hon. friend, Sir
+     Wm. Coventry, wherein he lays down a method for securing his Majesty
+     in husbandly execution of the Victualling Part of the Naval
+     Expence."  It consists of nineteen closely written folio pages, and
+     is a remarkable specimen of Pepys's business habits.--B. There are
+     copies of several letters on the victualling of the navy, written by
+     Pepys in 1666, among the Rawlinson MSS. in the Bodleian.]
+
+2nd.  Up by candlelight again, and wrote the greatest part of my business
+fair, and then to the office, and so home to dinner, and after dinner up
+and made an end of my fair writing it, and that being done, set two
+entering while to my Lord Bruncker's, and there find Sir J. Minnes and all
+his company, and Mr. Boreman and Mrs. Turner, but, above all, my dear Mrs.
+Knipp, with whom I sang, and in perfect pleasure I was to hear her sing,
+and especially her little Scotch song of "Barbary Allen;"
+
+     [The Scottish ballad is entitled, "Sir John Grehme and Barbara
+     Allan," and the English version, "Barbara Allen's Cruelty."  Both
+     are printed in Percy's "Reliques," Series III.]
+
+and to make our mirthe the completer, Sir J. Minnes was in the highest
+pitch of mirthe, and his mimicall tricks, that ever I saw, and most
+excellent pleasant company he is, and the best mimique that ever I saw,
+and certainly would have made an excellent actor, and now would be an
+excellent teacher of actors.  Thence, it being post night, against my will
+took leave, but before I come to my office, longing for more of her
+company, I returned and met them coming home in coaches, so I got into the
+coach where Mrs. Knipp was and got her upon my knee (the coach being full)
+and played with her breasts and sung, and at last set her at her house and
+so good night.  So home to my lodgings and there endeavoured to have
+finished the examining my papers of Pursers' business to have sent away
+to-night, but I was so sleepy with my late early risings and late goings
+to bed that I could not do it, but was forced to go to bed and leave it to
+send away to-morrow by an Expresse.
+
+3rd.  Up, and all the morning till three in the afternoon examining and
+fitting up my Pursers' paper and sent it away by an Expresse.  Then comes
+my wife, and I set her to get supper ready against I go to the Duke of
+Albemarle and back again; and at the Duke's with great joy I received the
+good news of the decrease of the plague this week to 70, and but 253 in
+all; which is the least Bill hath been known these twenty years in the
+City.  Through the want of people in London is it, that must make it so
+low below the ordinary number for Bills.  So home, and find all my good
+company I had bespoke, as Coleman and his wife, and Laneare, Knipp and her
+surly husband; and good musique we had, and, among other things, Mrs.
+Coleman sang my words I set of "Beauty retire," and I think it is a good
+song, and they praise it mightily.  Then to dancing and supper, and mighty
+merry till Mr. Rolt come in, whose pain of the tooth-ake made him no
+company, and spoilt ours; so he away, and then my wife's teeth fell of
+akeing, and she to bed.  So forced to break up all with a good song, and
+so to bed.
+
+4th.  Up, and to the office, where my Lord Bruncker and I, against Sir W.
+Batten and Sir J. Minnes and the whole table, for Sir W. Warren in the
+business of his mast contract, and overcome them and got them to do what I
+had a mind to, for indeed my Lord being unconcerned in what I aimed at. So
+home to dinner, where Mr. Sheldon come by invitation from Woolwich, and as
+merry as I could be with all my thoughts about me and my wife still in
+pain of her tooth.  He anon took leave and took Mrs. Barbary his niece
+home with him, and seems very thankful to me for the L10 I did give him
+for my wife's rent of his house, and I am sure I am beholding to him, for
+it was a great convenience to me, and then my wife home to London by water
+and I to the office till 8 at night, and so to my Lord Bruncker's,
+thinking to have been merry, having appointed a meeting for Sir J. Minnes
+and his company and Mrs. Knipp again, but whatever hindered I know not,
+but no company come, which vexed me because it disappointed me of the glut
+of mirthe I hoped for.  However, good discourse with my Lord and merry,
+with Mrs. Williams's descants upon Sir J. Minnes's and Mrs. Turner's not
+coming.  So home and to bed.
+
+5th.  I with my Lord Bruncker and Mrs. Williams by coach with four horses
+to London, to my Lord's house in Covent-Guarden.  But, Lord! what staring
+to see a nobleman's coach come to town.  And porters every where bow to
+us; and such begging of beggars!  And a delightfull thing it is to see the
+towne full of people again as now it is; and shops begin to open, though
+in many places seven or eight together, and more, all shut; but yet the
+towne is full, compared with what it used to be.  I mean the City end; for
+Covent-Guarden and Westminster are yet very empty of people, no Court nor
+gentry being there.  Set Mrs. Williams down at my Lord's house and he and
+I to Sir G. Carteret, at his chamber at White Hall, he being come to town
+last night to stay one day.  So my Lord and he and I much talke about the
+Act, what credit we find upon it, but no private talke between him and I.
+So I to the 'Change, and there met Mr. Povy, newly come to town, and he
+and I to Sir George Smith's and there dined nobly. He tells me how my Lord
+Bellases complains for want of money and of him and me therein, but I
+value it not, for I know I do all that can be done. We had no time to talk
+of particulars, but leave it to another day, and I away to Cornhill to
+expect my Lord Bruncker's coming back again, and I staid at my stationer's
+house, and by and by comes my Lord, and did take me up and so to
+Greenwich, and after sitting with them a while at their house, home,
+thinking to get Mrs. Knipp, but could not, she being busy with company,
+but sent me a pleasant letter, writing herself "Barbary Allen."  I went
+therefore to Mr. Boreman's for pastime, and there staid an houre or two
+talking with him, and reading a discourse about the River of Thames, the
+reason of its being choked up in several places with shelfes; which is
+plain is, by the encroachments made upon the River, and running out of
+causeways into the River at every wood-wharfe; which was not heretofore
+when Westminster Hall and White Hall were built, and Redriffe Church,
+which now are sometimes overflown with water.  I had great satisfaction
+herein.  So home and to my papers for lacke of company, but by and by
+comes little Mrs. Tooker and sat and supped with me, and I kept her very
+late talking and making her comb my head, and did what I will with her.
+So late to bed.
+
+6th.  Up betimes and by water to the Cockepitt, there met Sir G. Carteret
+and, after discourse with the Duke, all together, and there saw a letter
+wherein Sir W. Coventry did take notice to the Duke with a commendation of
+my paper about Pursers, I to walke in the Parke with the Vice-Chamberlain,
+and received his advice about my deportment about the advancing the credit
+of the Act; giving me caution to see that we do not misguide the King by
+making them believe greater matters from it than will be found.  But I see
+that this arises from his great trouble to see the Act succeede, and to
+hear my name so much used and my letters shown at Court about goods served
+us in upon the credit of it.  But I do make him believe that I do it with
+all respect to him and on his behalfe too, as indeed I do, as well as my
+owne, that it may not be said that he or I do not assist therein.  He
+tells me that my Lord Sandwich do proceed on his journey with the greatest
+kindnesse that can be imagined from the King and Chancellor, which was
+joyfull newes to me.  Thence with Lord Bruncker to Greenwich by water to a
+great dinner and much company; Mr. Cottle and his lady and others and I
+went, hoping to get Mrs. Knipp to us, having wrote a letter to her in the
+morning, calling myself "Dapper Dicky," in answer to hers of "Barbary
+Allen," but could not, and am told by the boy that carried my letter, that
+he found her crying; but I fear she lives a sad life with that ill-natured
+fellow her husband: so we had a great, but I a melancholy dinner, having
+not her there, as I hoped. After dinner to cards, and then comes notice
+that my wife is come unexpectedly to me to towne.  So I to her.  It is
+only to see what I do, and why I come not home; and she is in the right
+that I would have a little more of Mrs. Knipp's company before I go away.
+My wife to fetch away my things from Woolwich, and I back to cards and
+after cards to choose King and Queene, and a good cake there was, but no
+marks found; but I privately found the clove, the mark of the knave, and
+privately put it into Captain Cocke's piece, which made some mirthe,
+because of his lately being knowne by his buying of clove and mace of the
+East India prizes.  At night home to my lodging, where I find my wife
+returned with my things, and there also Captain Ferrers is come upon
+business of my Lord's to this town about getting some goods of his put on
+board in order to his going to Spain, and Ferrers presumes upon my finding
+a bed for him, which I did not like to have done without my invitation
+because I had done [it] several times before, during the plague, that he
+could not provide himself safely elsewhere.  But it being Twelfth Night,
+they had got the fiddler and mighty merry they were; and I above come not
+to them, but when I had done my business among my papers went to bed,
+leaving them dancing, and choosing King and Queene.
+
+7th (Lord's day).  Up, and being trimmed I was invited by Captain Cocke,
+so I left my wife, having a mind to some discourse with him, and dined
+with him.  He tells me of new difficulties about his goods which troubles
+me and I fear they will be great.  He tells me too what I hear everywhere
+how the towne talks of my Lord Craven being to come into Sir G. Carteret's
+place; but sure it cannot be true.  But I do fear those two families, his
+and my Lord Sandwich's, are quite broken.  And I must now stand upon my
+own legs.  Thence to my lodging, and considering how I am hindered by
+company there to do any thing among my papers, I did resolve to go away
+to-day rather than stay to no purpose till to-morrow and so got all my
+things packed up and spent half an hour with W. Howe about his papers of
+accounts for contingencies and my Lord's accounts, so took leave of my
+landlady and daughters, having paid dear for what time I have spent there,
+but yet having been quiett and my health, I am very well contented
+therewith.  So with my wife and Mercer took boat and away home; but in the
+evening, before I went, comes Mrs. Knipp, just to speake with me
+privately, to excuse her not coming to me yesterday, complaining how like
+a devil her husband treats her, but will be with us in towne a weeke
+hence, and so I kissed her and parted.  Being come home, my wife and I to
+look over our house and consider of laying out a little money to hang our
+bedchamber better than it is, and so resolved to go and buy something
+to-morrow, and so after supper, with great joy in my heart for my coming
+once again hither, to bed.
+
+8th.  Up, and my wife and I by coach to Bennett's, in Paternoster Row, few
+shops there being yet open, and there bought velvett for a coate, and
+camelott for a cloake for myself; and thence to a place to look over some
+fine counterfeit damasks to hang my wife's closett, and pitched upon one,
+and so by coach home again, I calling at the 'Change, and so home to
+dinner and all the afternoon look after my papers at home and my office
+against to-morrow, and so after supper and considering the uselessness of
+laying out so much money upon my wife's closett, but only the chamber, to
+bed.
+
+9th.  Up, and then to the office, where we met first since the plague,
+which God preserve us in!  At noon home to dinner, where uncle Thomas with
+me, and in comes Pierce lately come from Oxford, and Ferrers.  After
+dinner Pierce and I up to my chamber, where he tells me how a great
+difference hath been between the Duke and Duchesse, he suspecting her to
+be naught with Mr. Sidney.
+
+     ["This Duchess was Chancellor Hyde's daughter, and she was a very
+     handsome woman, and had a great deal of wit; therefore it was not
+     without reason that Mr. Sydney, the handsomest youth of his time, of
+     the Duke's bedchamber, was so much in love with her, as appeared to
+     us all, and the Duchess not unkind to him, but very innocently.  He
+     was afterwards banished the Court for another reason, as was
+     reported" (Sir John Reresby's "Memoirs," August 5th, 1664, ed.
+     Cartwright, pp. 64,65). "'How could the Duke of York make my mother
+     a Papist?' said the Princess Mary to Dr. Bumet.  'The Duke caught a
+     man in bed with her,' said the Doctor, 'and then had power to make
+     her do anything.'  The Prince, who sat by the fire, said, 'Pray,
+     madam, ask the Doctor a few more questions'" (Spence's "Anecdotes,"
+     ed.  Singer, 329).]
+
+But some way or other the matter is made up; but he was banished the
+Court, and the Duke for many days did not speak to the Duchesse at all. He
+tells me that my Lord Sandwich is lost there at Court, though the King is
+particularly his friend.  But people do speak every where slightly of him;
+which is a sad story to me, but I hope it may be better again.  And that
+Sir G. Carteret is neglected, and hath great enemies at work against him.
+That matters must needs go bad, while all the town, and every boy in the
+streete, openly cries, "The King cannot go away till my Lady Castlemaine
+be ready to come along with him;" she being lately put to bed And that he
+visits her and Mrs. Stewart every morning before he eats his breakfast.
+All this put together makes me very sad, but yet I hope I shall do pretty
+well among them for all this, by my not meddling with either of their
+matters.  He and Ferrers gone I paid uncle Thomas his last quarter's
+money, and then comes Mr. Gawden and he and I talked above stairs together
+a good while about his business, and to my great joy got him to declare
+that of the L500 he did give me the other day, none of it was for my
+Treasurershipp for Tangier (I first telling him how matters stand between
+Povy and I, that he was to have half of whatever was coming to me by that
+office), and that he will gratify me at 2 per cent. for that when he next
+receives any money.  So there is L80 due to me more than I thought of.  He
+gone I with a glad heart to the office to write, my letters and so home to
+supper and bed, my wife mighty full of her worke she hath to do in
+furnishing her bedchamber.
+
+10th.  Up, and by coach to Sir G. Downing, where Mr. Gawden met me by
+agreement to talke upon the Act.  I do find Sir G. Downing to be a mighty
+talker, more than is true, which I now know to be so, and suspected it
+before, but for all that I have good grounds to think it will succeed for
+goods and in time for money too, but not presently.  Having done with him,
+I to my Lord Bruncker's house in Covent-Garden, and, among other things,
+it was to acquaint him with my paper of Pursers, and read it to him, and
+had his good liking of it.  Shewed him Mr. Coventry's sense of it, which
+he sent me last post much to my satisfaction.  Thence to the 'Change, and
+there hear to our grief how the plague is encreased this week from seventy
+to eighty-nine.  We have also great fear of our Hambrough fleete, of their
+meeting the Dutch; as also have certain newes, that by storms Sir Jer.
+Smith's fleet is scattered, and three of them come without masts back to
+Plymouth, which is another very exceeding great disappointment, and if the
+victualling ships are miscarried will tend to the losse of the garrison of
+Tangier.  Thence home, in my way had the opportunity I longed for, of
+seeing and saluting Mrs. Stokes, my little goldsmith's wife in Paternoster
+Row, and there bespoke some thing, a silver chafing-dish for warming
+plates, and so home to dinner, found my wife busy about making her
+hangings for her chamber with the upholster. So I to the office and anon
+to the Duke of Albemarle, by coach at night, taking, for saving time, Sir
+W. Warren with me, talking of our businesses all the way going and coming,
+and there got his reference of my pursers' paper to the Board to consider
+of it before he reads it, for he will never understand it I am sure.  Here
+I saw Sir W. Coventry's kind letter to him concerning my paper, and among
+others of his letters, which I saw all, and that is a strange thing, that
+whatever is writ to this Duke of Albemarle, all the world may see; for
+this very night he did give me Mr. Coventry's letter to read, soon as it
+come to his hand, before he had read it himself, and bid me take out of it
+what concerned the Navy, and many things there was in it, which I should
+not have thought fit for him to have let any body so suddenly see; but,
+among other things, find him profess himself to the Duke a friend into the
+inquiring further into the business of Prizes, and advises that it may be
+publique, for the righting the King, and satisfying the people and getting
+the blame to be rightly laid where it should be, which strikes very hard
+upon my Lord Sandwich, and troubles me to read it.  Besides, which vexes
+me more, I heard the damned Duchesse again say to twenty gentlemen
+publiquely in the room, that she would have Montagu sent once more to sea,
+before he goes his Embassy, that we may see whether he will make amends
+for his cowardice, and repeated the answer she did give the other day in
+my hearing to Sir G. Downing, wishing her Lord had been a coward, for then
+perhaps he might have been made an Embassador, and not been sent now to
+sea.  But one good thing she said, she cried mightily out against the
+having of gentlemen Captains with feathers and ribbands, and wished the
+King would send her husband to sea with the old plain sea Captains, that
+he served with formerly, that would make their ships swim with blood,
+though they could not make legs
+
+     [Make bows, play the courtier.  The reading, "make leagues,"
+     appeared in former editions till Mr. Mynors Bright corrected it.]
+
+as Captains nowadays can.  It grieved me to see how slightly the Duke do
+every thing in the world, and how the King and every body suffers whatever
+he will to be done in the Navy, though never so much against reason, as in
+the business of recalling tickets, which will be done notwithstanding all
+the arguments against it.  So back again to my office, and there to
+business and so to bed.
+
+11th.  Up and to the office.  By and by to the Custome House to the
+Farmers, there with a letter of Sir G. Carteret's for L3000, which they
+ordered to be paid me.  So away back again to the office, and at noon to
+dinner all of us by invitation to Sir W. Pen's, and much other company.
+Among others, Lieutenant of the Tower, and Broome, his poet, and Dr.
+Whistler, and his (Sir W. Pen's) son-in-law Lowder, servant--[lover]--to
+Mrs. Margaret Pen, and Sir Edward Spragg, a merry man, that sang a
+pleasant song pleasantly.  Rose from table before half dined, and with Mr.
+Mountney of the Custome House to the East India House, and there delivered
+to him tallys for L3000 and received a note for the money on Sir R. Viner.
+So ended the matter, and back to my company, where staid a little, and
+thence away with my Lord Bruncker for discourse sake, and he and I to
+Gresham College to have seen Mr. Hooke and a new invented chariott of Dr.
+Wilkins, but met with nobody at home!  So to Dr. Wilkins's, where I never
+was before, and very kindly received and met with Dr. Merritt, and fine
+discourse among them to my great joy, so sober and so ingenious.  He is
+now upon finishing his discourse of a universal character.  So away and I
+home to my office about my letters, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+12th.  By coach to the Duke of Albemarle, where Sir W. Batten and I only
+met.  Troubled at my heart to see how things are ordered there without
+consideration or understanding.  Thence back by coach and called at
+Wotton's, my shoemaker, lately come to towne, and bespoke shoes, as also
+got him to find me a taylor to make me some clothes, my owne being not yet
+in towne, nor Pym, my Lord Sandwich's taylor.  So he helped me to a pretty
+man, one Mr. Penny, against St. Dunstan's Church.  Thence to the 'Change
+and there met Mr. Moore, newly come to towne, and took him home to dinner
+with me and after dinner to talke, and he and I do conclude my Lord's case
+to be very bad and may be worse, if he do not get a pardon for his doings
+about the prizes and his business at Bergen, and other things done by him
+at sea, before he goes for Spayne.  I do use all the art I can to get him
+to get my Lord to pay my cozen Pepys, for it is a great burden to my mind
+my being bound for my Lord in L1000 to him. Having done discourse with him
+and directed him to go with my advice to my Lord expresse to-morrow to get
+his pardon perfected before his going, because of what I read the other
+night in Sir W. Coventry's letter, I to the office, and there had an
+extraordinary meeting of Sir J. Minnes, Sir W. Batten, and Sir W. Pen, and
+my Lord Bruncker and I to hear my paper read about pursers, which they did
+all of them with great good will and great approbation of my method and
+pains in all, only Sir W. Pen, who must except against every thing and
+remedy nothing, did except against my proposal for some reasons, which I
+could not understand, I confess, nor my Lord Bruncker neither, but he did
+detect indeed a failure or two of mine in my report about the ill
+condition of the present pursers, which I did magnify in one or two little
+things, to which, I think, he did with reason except, but at last with all
+respect did declare the best thing he ever heard of this kind, but when
+Sir W. Batten did say, "Let us that do know the practical part of the
+Victualling meet Sir J. Minnes, Sir W. Pen and I and see what we can do to
+mend all," he was so far from offering or furthering it, that he declined
+it and said, he must be out of towne.  So as I ever knew him never did in
+his life ever attempt to mend any thing, but suffer all things to go on in
+the way they are, though never so bad, rather than improve his experience
+to the King's advantage.  So we broke up, however, they promising to meet
+to offer some thing in it of their opinions, and so we rose, and I and my
+Lord Bruncker by coach a little way for discourse sake, till our coach
+broke, and tumbled me over him quite down the side of the coach, falling
+on the ground about the Stockes,  but up again, and thinking it fit to
+have for my honour some thing reported in writing to the Duke in favour of
+my pains in this, lest it should be thought to be rejected as frivolous, I
+did move it to my Lord, and he will see it done to-morrow.  So we parted,
+and I to the office and thence home to my poor wife, who works all day at
+home like a horse, at the making of her hangings for our chamber and the
+bed.  So to supper and to bed.
+
+13th.  At the office all the morning, where my Lord Bruncker moved to have
+something wrote in my matter as I desired him last night, and it was
+ordered and will be done next sitting.  Home with his Lordship to Mrs.
+Williams's, in Covent-Garden, to dinner (the first time I ever was there),
+and there met Captain Cocke; and pretty merry, though not perfectly so,
+because of the fear that there is of a great encrease again of the plague
+this week.  And again my Lord Bruncker do tell us, that he hath it from
+Sir John Baber; who is related to my Lord Craven, that my Lord Craven do
+look after Sir G. Carteret's place, and do reckon himself sure of it.
+After dinner Cocke and I together by coach to the Exchange, in our way
+talking of our matters, and do conclude that every thing must breake in
+pieces, while no better counsels govern matters than there seem to do, and
+that it will become him and I and all men to get their reckonings even, as
+soon as they can, and expect all to breake.  Besides, if the plague
+continues among us another yeare, the Lord knows what will become of us.
+I set him down at the 'Change, and I home to my office, where late writing
+letters and doing business, and thence home to supper and to bed.  My head
+full of cares, but pleased with my wife's minding her worke so well, and
+busying herself about her house, and I trust in God if I can but clear
+myself of my Lord Sandwich's bond, wherein I am bound with him for L1000
+to T. Pepys, I shall do pretty well, come what will come.
+
+14th (Lord's day).  Long in bed, till raised by my new taylor, Mr. Penny,
+[who comes and brings me my new velvet coat, very handsome, but plain, and
+a day hence will bring me my camelott cloak.]  He gone I close to my
+papers and to set all in order and to perform my vow to finish my journall
+and other things before I kiss any woman more or drink any wine, which I
+must be forced to do to-morrow if I go to Greenwich as I am invited by Mr.
+Boreman to hear Mrs. Knipp sing, and I would be glad to go, so as we may
+be merry.  At noon eat the second of the two cygnets Mr. Shepley sent us
+for a new-year's gift, and presently to my chamber again and so to work
+hard all day about my Tangier accounts, which I am going again to make up,
+as also upon writing a letter to my father about Pall, whom it is time now
+I find to think of disposing of while God Almighty hath given me something
+to give with her, and in my letter to my father I do offer to give her
+L450 to make her own L50 given her by my uncle up L500.  I do also therein
+propose Mr. Harman the upholster for a husband for her, to whom I have a
+great love and did heretofore love his former wife, and a civil man he is
+and careful in his way, beside, I like his trade and place he lives in,
+being Cornhill.  Thus late at work, and so to supper and to bed.  This
+afternoon, after sermon, comes my dear fair beauty of the Exchange, Mrs.
+Batelier, brought by her sister, an acquaintance of Mercer's, to see my
+wife.  I saluted her with as much pleasure as I had done any a great
+while.  We sat and talked together an houre, with infinite pleasure to me,
+and so the fair creature went away, and proves one of the modestest women,
+and pretty, that ever I saw in my life, and my [wife] judges her so too.
+
+15th.  Busy all the morning in my chamber in my old cloth suit, while my
+usuall one is to my taylor's to mend, which I had at noon again, and an
+answer to a letter I had sent this morning to Mrs. Pierce to go along with
+my wife and I down to Greenwich to-night upon an invitation to Mr.
+Boreman's to be merry to dance and sing with Mrs. Knipp.  Being dressed,
+and having dined, I took coach and to Mrs. Pierce, to her new house in
+Covent-Garden, a very fine place and fine house.  Took her thence home to
+my house, and so by water to Boreman's by night, where the greatest
+disappointment that ever I saw in my life, much company, a good supper
+provided, and all come with expectation of excesse of mirthe, but all
+blank through the waywardnesse of Mrs. Knipp, who, though she had
+appointed the night, could not be got to come.  Not so much as her husband
+could get her to come; but, which was a pleasant thing in all my anger, I
+asking him, while we were in expectation what answer one of our many
+messengers would bring, what he thought, whether she would come or no, he
+answered that, for his part, he could not so much as thinke.  By and by we
+all to supper, which the silly master of the feast commended, but, what
+with my being out of humour, and the badnesse of the meate dressed, I did
+never eat a worse supper in my life.  At last, very late, and supper done,
+she came undressed, but it brought me no mirthe at all; only, after all
+being done, without singing, or very little, and no dancing, Pierce and I
+to bed together, and he and I very merry to find how little and thin
+clothes they give us to cover us, so that we were fain to lie in our
+stockings and drawers, and lay all our coates and clothes upon the bed.
+So to sleep.
+
+16th.  Up, and leaving the women in bed together (a pretty black and
+white) I to London to the office, and there forgot, through business, to
+bespeake any dinner for my wife and Mrs. Pierce.  However, by noon they
+come, and a dinner we had, and Kate Joyce comes to see us, with whom very
+merry.  After dinner she and I up to my chamber, who told me her business
+was chiefly for my advice about her husband's leaving off his trade, which
+though I wish enough, yet I did advise against, for he is a man will not
+know how to live idle, and employment he is fit for none. Thence anon
+carried her and Mrs. Pierce home, and so to the Duke of Albemarle, and
+mighty kind he to me still.  So home late at my letters, and so to bed,
+being mightily troubled at the newes of the plague's being encreased, and
+was much the saddest news that the plague hath brought me from the
+beginning of it; because of the lateness of the year, and the fear, we may
+with reason have, of its continuing with us the next summer. The total
+being now 375, and the plague 158.
+
+17th.  Busy all the morning, settling things against my going out of towne
+this night.  After dinner, late took horse, having sent for Lashmore to go
+with me, and so he and I rode to Dagenhams in the dark. There find the
+whole family well.  It was my Lord Crew's desire that I should come, and
+chiefly to discourse with me of Lord Sandwich's matters; and therein to
+persuade, what I had done already, that my Lord should sue out a pardon
+for his business of the prizes, as also for Bergen, and all he hath done
+this year past, before he begins his Embassy to Spayne.  For it is to be
+feared that the Parliament will fly out against him and particular men,
+the next Session.  He is glad also that my Lord is clear of his
+sea-imployment, though sorry as I am, only in the manner of its bringing
+about.  By and by to supper, my Lady Wright very kind.  After supper up to
+wait on my Lady Crew, who is the same weake silly lady as ever, asking
+such saintly questions.  Down to my Lord again and sat talking an houre or
+two, and anon to prayers the whole family, and then all to bed, I
+handsomely used, lying in the chamber Mr. Carteret formerly did, but sat
+up an houre talking sillily with Mr. Carteret and Mr. Marre, and so to
+bed.
+
+18th.  Up before day and thence rode to London before office time, where I
+met a note at the doore to invite me to supper to Mrs. Pierces because of
+Mrs. Knipp, who is in towne and at her house: To the office, where, among
+other things, vexed with Major Norwood's coming, who takes it ill my not
+paying a bill of Exchange of his, but I have good reason for it, and so
+the less troubled, but yet troubled, so as at noon being carried by my
+Lord Bruncker to Captain Cocke's to dinner, where Mrs. Williams was, and
+Mrs. Knipp, I was not heartily merry, though a glasse of wine did a little
+cheer me.  After dinner to the office.  Anon comes to me thither my Lord
+Bruncker, Mrs. Williams, and Knipp.  I brought down my wife in her
+night-gowne, she not being indeed very well, to the office to them and
+there by and by they parted all and my wife and I anon and Mercer, by
+coach, to Pierces; where mighty merry, and sing and dance with great
+pleasure; and I danced, who never did in company in my life, and Captain
+Cocke come for a little while and danced, but went away, but we staid and
+had a pretty supper, and spent till two in the morning, but got home well
+by coach, though as dark as pitch, and so to bed.
+
+19th.  Up and ready, called on by Mr. Moone, my Lord Bellases' secretary,
+who and I good friends though I have failed him in some payments.  Thence
+with Sir J. Minnes to the Duke of Albemarle's, and carried all well, and
+met Norwood but prevented him in desiring a meeting of the Commissioners
+for Tangier.  Thence to look for Sir H. [Cholmly], but he not within, he
+coming to town last night.  It is a remarkable thing how infinitely naked
+all that end of the towne, Covent-Garden, is at this day of people; while
+the City is almost as full again of people as ever it was.  To the 'Change
+and so home to dinner and the office, whither anon comes Sir H. Cholmley
+to me, and he and I to my house, there to settle his accounts with me, and
+so with great pleasure we agreed and great friends become, I think, and he
+presented me upon the foot of our accounts for this year's service for him
+L100, whereof Povy must have half.  Thence to the office and wrote a
+letter to Norwood to satisfy him about my nonpayment of his bill, for that
+do still stick in my mind.  So at night home to supper and to bed.
+
+20th.  To the office, where upon Mr. Kinaston's coming to me about some
+business of Colonell Norwood's, I sent my boy home for some papers, where,
+he staying longer than I would have him, and being vexed at the business
+and to be kept from my fellows in the office longer than was fit, I become
+angry, and boxed my boy when he came, that I do hurt my thumb so much,
+that I was not able to stir all the day after, and in great pain.  At noon
+to dinner, and then to the office again, late, and so to supper and to
+bed.
+
+21st (Lord's day).  Lay almost till noon merrily and with pleasure talking
+with my wife in bed.  Then up looking about my house, and the roome which
+my wife is dressing up, having new hung our bedchamber with blue, very
+handsome.  After dinner to my Tangier accounts and there stated them
+against to-morrow very distinctly for the Lords to see who meet tomorrow,
+and so to supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up, and set my people to work in copying Tangier accounts, and I
+down the river to Greenwich to the office to fetch away some papers and
+thence to Deptford, where by agreement my Lord Bruncker was to come, but
+staid almost till noon, after I had spent an houre with W. Howe talking of
+my Lord Sandwich's matters and his folly in minding his pleasures too much
+now-a-days, and permitting himself to be governed by Cuttance to the
+displeasing of all the Commanders almost of the fleete, and thence we may
+conceive indeed the rise of all my Lord's misfortunes of late.  At noon my
+Lord Bruncker did come, but left the keys of the chests we should open, at
+Sir G. Carteret's lodgings, of my Lord Sandwich's, wherein Howe's supposed
+jewells are; so we could not, according to my Lord Arlington's order, see
+them today; but we parted, resolving to meet here at night: my Lord
+Bruncker being going with Dr. Wilkins, Mr. Hooke, and others, to Colonell
+Blunts, to consider again of the business of charriots, and to try their
+new invention.  Which I saw here my Lord Bruncker ride in; where the
+coachman sits astride upon a pole over the horse, but do not touch the
+horse, which is a pretty odde thing; but it seems it is most easy for the
+horse, and, as they say, for the man also. Thence I with speede by water
+home and eat a bit, and took my accounts and to the Duke of Albemarle,
+where for all I feared of Norwood he was very civill, and Sir Thomas
+Ingram beyond expectation, I giving them all content and I thereby settled
+mightily in my mind, for I was weary of the employment, and had had
+thoughts of giving it over.  I did also give a good step in a business of
+Mr. Hubland's, about getting a ship of his to go to Tangier, which during
+this strict embargo is a great matter, and I shall have a good reward for
+it, I hope.  Thence by water in the darke down to Deptford, and there find
+my Lord Bruncker come and gone, having staid long for me.  I back
+presently to the Crowne taverne behind the Exchange by appointment, and
+there met the first meeting of Gresham College since the plague.  Dr.
+Goddard did fill us with talke, in defence of his and his fellow
+physicians going out of towne in the plague-time; saying that their
+particular patients were most gone out of towne, and they left at liberty;
+and a great deal more, &c.  But what, among other fine discourse pleased
+me most, was Sir G. Ent about Respiration; that it is not to this day
+known, or concluded on among physicians, nor to be done either, how the
+action is managed by nature, or for what use it is. Here late till poor
+Dr. Merriot was drunk, and so all home, and I to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up and to the office and then to dinner.  After dinner to the
+office again all the afternoon, and much business with me.  Good newes
+beyond all expectation of the decrease of the plague, being now but 79,
+and the whole but 272.  So home with comfort to bed.  A most furious
+storme all night and morning.
+
+24th.  By agreement my Lord Bruncker called me up, and though it was a
+very foule, windy, and rainy morning, yet down to the waterside we went,
+but no boat could go, the storme continued so.  So my Lord to stay till
+fairer weather carried me into the Tower to Mr. Hore's and there we staid
+talking an houre, but at last we found no boats yet could go, so we to the
+office, where we met upon an occasion extraordinary of examining abuses of
+our clerkes in taking money for examining of tickets, but nothing done in
+it.  Thence my Lord and I, the weather being a little fairer, by water to
+Deptford to Sir G. Carteret's house, where W. Howe met us, and there we
+opened the chests, and saw the poor sorry rubys which have caused all this
+ado to the undoing of W. Howe; though I am not much sorry for it, because
+of his pride and ill nature.  About 200 of these very small stones, and a
+cod of muske (which it is strange I was not able to smell) is all we could
+find; so locked them up again, and my Lord and I, the wind being again
+very furious, so as we durst not go by water, walked to London quite round
+the bridge, no boat being able to stirre; and, Lord! what a dirty walk we
+had, and so strong the wind, that in the fields we many times could not
+carry our bodies against it, but were driven backwards.  We went through
+Horsydowne, where I never was since a little boy, that I went to enquire
+after my father, whom we did give over for lost coming from Holland.  It
+was dangerous to walk the streets, the bricks and tiles falling from the
+houses that the whole streets were covered with them; and whole chimneys,
+nay, whole houses in two or three places, blowed down.  But, above all,
+the pales on London-bridge on both sides were blown away, so that we were
+fain to stoop very low for fear of blowing off of the bridge.  We could
+see no boats in the Thames afloat, but what were broke loose, and carried
+through the bridge, it being ebbing water.  And the greatest sight of all
+was, among other parcels of ships driven here and there in clusters
+together, one was quite overset and lay with her masts all along in the
+water, and keel above water.  So walked home, my Lord away to his house
+and I to dinner, Mr. Creed being come to towne and to dine with me, though
+now it was three o'clock.  After dinner he and I to our accounts and very
+troublesome he is and with tricks which I found plainly and was vexed at;
+while we were together comes Sir G. Downing with Colonell Norwood,
+Rumball, and Warrupp to visit me.  I made them drink good wine and
+discoursed above alone a good while with Sir G. Downing, who is very
+troublesome, and then with Colonell Norwood, who hath a great mind to have
+me concerned with him in everything; which I like, but am shy of
+adventuring too much, but will thinke of it.  They gone, Creed and I to
+finish the settling his accounts.  Thence to the office, where the
+Houblans and we discoursed upon a rubb which we have for one of the ships
+I hoped to have got to go out to Tangier for them.  They being gone, I to
+my office-business late, and then home to supper and even sacke for lacke
+of a little wine, which I was forced to drink against my oathe, but
+without pleasure.
+
+25th.  Up and to the office, at noon home to dinner.  So abroad to the
+Duke of Albemarle and Kate Joyce's and her husband, with whom I talked a
+great deale about Pall's business, and told them what portion I would give
+her, and they do mightily like of it and will proceed further in speaking
+with Harman, who hath already been spoke to about it, as from them only,
+and he is mighty glad of it, but doubts it may be an offence to me, if I
+should know of it, so thinks that it do come only from Joyce, which I like
+the better.  So I do believe the business will go on, and I desire it were
+over.  I to the office then, where I did much business, and set my people
+to work against furnishing me to go to Hampton Court, where the King and
+Duke will be on Sunday next.  It is now certain that the King of France
+hath publickly declared war against us, and God knows how little fit we
+are for it.  At night comes Sir W. Warren, and he and I into the garden,
+and talked over all our businesses.  He gives me good advice not to
+embarke into trade (as I have had it in my thoughts about Colonell
+Norwood) so as to be seen to mind it, for it will do me hurte, and draw my
+mind off from my business and embroile my estate too soon.  So to the
+office business, and I find him as cunning a man in all points as ever I
+met with in my life and mighty merry we were in the discourse of our owne
+trickes.  So about to o'clock at night I home and staid with him there
+settling my Tangier-Boates business and talking and laughing at the folly
+of some of our neighbours of this office till two in the morning and so to
+bed.
+
+26th.  Up, and pleased mightily with what my poor wife hath been doing
+these eight or ten days with her owne hands, like a drudge in fitting the
+new hangings of our bed-chamber of blue, and putting the old red ones into
+my dressing-room, and so by coach to White Hall, where I had just now
+notice that Sir G. Carteret is come to towne.  He seems pleased, but I
+perceive he is heartily troubled at this Act, and the report of his losing
+his place, and more at my not writing to him to the prejudice of the Act.
+But I carry all fair to him and he to me.  He bemoans the Kingdom as in a
+sad state, and with too much reason I doubt, having so many enemys about
+us and no friends abroad, nor money nor love at home. Thence to the Duke
+of Albemarle, and there a meeting with all the officers of the Navy,
+where, Lord!  to see how the Duke of Albemarle flatters himself with false
+hopes of money and victuals and all without reason.  Then comes the
+Committee of Tangier to sit, and I there carry all before me very well.
+Thence with Sir J. Bankes and Mr. Gawden to the 'Change, they both very
+wise men.  After 'Change and agreeing with Houblon about our ships, D.
+Gawden and I to the Pope's Head and there dined and little Chaplin (who a
+rich man grown).  He gone after dinner, D. Gawden and I to talke of the
+Victualling business of the Navy in what posture it is, which is very sad
+also for want of money.  Thence home to my chamber by oathe to finish my
+Journall.  Here W. Hewer came to me with L320 from Sir W. Warren, whereof
+L220 is got clearly by a late business of insurance of the Gottenburg
+ships, and the other L100 which was due and he had promised me before to
+give me to my very extraordinary joy, for which I ought and do bless God
+and so to my office, where late providing a letter to send to Mr. Gawden
+in a manner we concluded on to-day, and so to bed.
+
+27th.  Up very betimes to finish my letter and writ it fair to Mr. Gawden,
+it being to demand several arrears in the present state of the
+victualling, partly to the King's and partly to give him occasion to say
+something relating to the want of money on his own behalf.  This done I to
+the office, where all the morning.  At noon after a bit of dinner back to
+the office and there fitting myself in all points to give an account to
+the Duke and Mr. Coventry in all things, and in my Tangier business, till
+three o'clock in the morning, and so to bed,
+
+28th.  And up again about six (Lord's day), and being dressed in my
+velvett coate and plain cravatte took a hackney coach provided ready for
+me by eight o'clock, and so to my Lord Bruncker's with all my papers, and
+there took his coach with four horses and away toward Hampton Court,
+having a great deale of good discourse with him, particularly about his
+coming to lie at the office, when I went further in inviting him to than I
+intended, having not yet considered whether it will be convenient for me
+or no to have him here so near us, and then of getting Mr. Evelyn or Sir
+Robert Murray into the Navy in the room of Sir Thomas Harvey.  At
+Brainford I 'light, having need to shit, and went into an Inne doore that
+stood open, found the house of office and used it, but saw no people, only
+after I was in the house, heard a great dogg barke, and so was afeard how
+I should get safe back again, and therefore drew my sword and scabbard out
+of my belt to have ready in my hand, but did not need to use it, but got
+safe into the coach again, but lost my belt by the shift, not missing it
+till I come to Hampton Court.  At the Wicke found Sir J. Minnes and Sir W.
+Batten at a lodging provided for us by our messenger, and there a good
+dinner ready.  After dinner took coach and to Court, where we find the
+King, and Duke, and Lords, all in council; so we walked up and down: there
+being none of the ladies come, and so much the more business I hope will
+be done.  The Council being up, out comes the King, and I kissed his hand,
+and he grasped me very kindly by the hand.  The Duke also, I kissed his,
+and he mighty kind, and Sir W. Coventry.  I found my Lord Sandwich there,
+poor man!  I see with a melancholy face, and suffers his beard to grow on
+his upper lip more than usual.  I took him a little aside to know when I
+should wait on him, and where: he told me, and that it would be best to
+meet at his lodgings, without being seen to walk together.  Which I liked
+very well; and, Lord! to see in what difficulty I stand, that I dare not
+walk with Sir W. Coventry, for fear my Lord or Sir G. Carteret should see
+me; nor with either of them, for fear Sir W. Coventry should.  After
+changing a few words with Sir W. Coventry, who assures me of his respect
+and love to me, and his concernment for my health in all this sickness, I
+went down into one of the Courts, and there met the King and Duke; and the
+Duke called me to him.  And the King come to me of himself, and told me,
+"Mr. Pepys," says he, "I do give you thanks for your good service all this
+year, and I assure you I am very sensible of it."  And the Duke of Yorke
+did tell me with pleasure, that he had read over my discourse about
+pursers, and would have it ordered in my way, and so fell from one
+discourse to another.  I walked with them quite out of the Court into the
+fields, and then back to my Lord Sandwich's chamber, where I find him
+very melancholy and not well satisfied, I perceive, with my carriage to
+Sir G. Carteret, but I did satisfy him and made him confess to me, that I
+have a very hard game to play; and told me he was sorry to see it, and the
+inconveniences which likely may fall upon me with him; but, for all that,
+I am not much afeard, if I can but keepe out of harm's way in not being
+found too much concerned in my Lord's or Sir G. Carteret's matters, and
+that I will not be if I can helpe it.  He hath got over his business of
+the prizes, so far as to have a privy seale passed for all that was in his
+distribution to the officers, which I am heartily glad of; and, for the
+rest, he must be answerable for what he is proved to have.  But for his
+pardon for anything else, he thinks it not seasonable to aske it, and not
+usefull to him; because that will not stop a Parliament's mouth, and for
+the King, he is sure enough of him.  I did aske him whether he was sure of
+the interest and friendship of any great Ministers of State and he told
+me, yes.  As we were going further, in comes my Lord Mandeville, so we
+were forced to breake off and I away, and to Sir W. Coventry's chamber,
+where he not come in but I find Sir W. Pen, and he and I to discourse.  I
+find him very much out of humour, so that I do not think matters go very
+well with him, and I am glad of it.  He and I staying till late, and Sir
+W. Coventry not coming in (being shut up close all the afternoon with the
+Duke of Albemarle), we took boat, and by water to Kingston, and so to our
+lodgings, where a good supper and merry, only I sleepy, and therefore
+after supper I slunk away from the rest to bed, and lay very well and
+slept soundly, my mind being in a great delirium between joy for what the
+King and Duke have said to me and Sir W. Coventry, and trouble for my Lord
+Sandwich's concernments, and how hard it will be for me to preserve myself
+from feeling thereof.
+
+29th.  Up, and to Court by coach, where to Council before the Duke of
+Yorke, the Duke of Albemarle with us, and after Sir W. Coventry had gone
+over his notes that he had provided with the Duke of Albemarle, I went
+over all mine with good successe, only I fear I did once offend the Duke
+of Albemarle, but I was much joyed to find the Duke of Yorke so much
+contending for my discourse about the pursers against Sir W. Pen, who
+opposes it like a foole; my Lord Sandwich come in in the middle of the
+business, and, poor man, very melancholy, methought, and said little at
+all, or to the business, and sat at the lower end, just as he come, no
+roome being made for him, only I did give him my stoole, and another was
+reached me.  After council done, I walked to and again up and down the
+house, discoursing with this and that man.  Among others tooke occasion to
+thanke the Duke of Yorke for his good opinion in general of my service,
+and particularly his favour in conferring on me the Victualling business.
+He told me that he knew nobody so fit as I for it, and next, he was very
+glad to find that to give me for my encouragement, speaking very kindly of
+me.  So to Sir W. Coventry's to dinner with him, whom I took occasion to
+thanke for his favour and good thoughts of what little service I did,
+desiring he would do the last act of friendship in telling me of my faults
+also.  He told me he would be sure he would do that also, if there were
+any occasion for it.  So that as much as it is possible under so great a
+fall of my Lord Sandwich's, and difference between them, I may conclude
+that I am thoroughly right with Sir W. Coventry.  I dined with him with a
+great deale of company, and much merry discourse.  I was called away
+before dinner ended to go to my company who dined at our lodgings.
+Thither I went with Mr. Evelyn (whom I met) in his coach going that way,
+but finding my company gone, but my Lord Bruncker left his coach for me;
+so Mr. Evelyn and I into my Lord's coach, and rode together with excellent
+discourse till we come to Clapham, talking of the vanity and vices of the
+Court, which makes it a most contemptible thing; and indeed in all his
+discourse I find him a most worthy person. Particularly he entertained me
+with discourse of an Infirmary, which he hath projected for the sick and
+wounded seamen against the next year, which I mightily approve of; and
+will endeavour to promote it, being a worthy thing, and of use, and will
+save money.  He set me down at Mr. Gawden's, where nobody yet come home, I
+having left him and his sons and Creed at Court, so I took a book and into
+the gardens, and there walked and read till darke with great pleasure, and
+then in and in comes Osborne, and he and I to talk of Mr. Jaggard, who
+comes from London, and great hopes there is of a decrease this week also
+of the plague.  Anon comes in Creed, and after that Mr. Gawden and his
+sons, and then they bringing in three ladies, who were in the house, but I
+do not know them, his daughter and two nieces, daughters of Dr.
+Whistler's, with whom and Creed mighty sport at supper, the ladies very
+pretty and mirthfull.  I perceive they know Creed's gut and stomach as
+well as I, and made as much mirthe as I with it at supper.  After supper I
+made the ladies sing, and they have been taught, but, Lord! though I was
+forced to commend them, yet it was the saddest stuff I ever heard.
+However, we sat up late, and then I, in the best chamber like a prince, to
+bed, and Creed with me, and being sleepy talked but little.
+
+30th.  Lay long till Mr. Gawden was gone out being to take a little
+journey.  Up, and Creed and I some good discourse, but with some trouble
+for the state of my Lord's matters.  After walking a turne or two in the
+garden, and bid good morrow to Mr. Gawden's sons, and sent my service to
+the ladies, I took coach after Mr. Gawden's, and home, finding the towne
+keeping the day solemnly, it being the day of the King's murther, and they
+being at church, I presently into the church, thinking to see Mrs.
+Lethulier or Batelier, but did not, and a dull sermon of our young
+Lecturer, too bad.  This is the first time I have been in this church
+since I left London for the plague, and it frighted me indeed to go
+through the church more than I thought it could have done, to see so
+[many] graves lie so high upon the churchyards where people have been
+buried of the plague.  I was much troubled at it, and do not think to go
+through it again a good while.  So home to my wife, whom I find not well,
+in bed, and it seems hath not been well these two days.  She rose and we
+to dinner, after dinner up to my chamber, where she entertained me with
+what she hath lately bought of clothes for herself, and Damask linnen, and
+other things for the house.  I did give her a serious account how matters
+stand with me, of favour with the King and Duke, and of danger in
+reference to my Lord's and Sir G. Carteret's falls, and the
+dissatisfaction I have heard the Duke of Albemarle hath acknowledged to
+somebody, among other things, against my Lord Sandwich, that he did bring
+me into the Navy against his desire and endeavour for another, which was
+our doting foole Turner.  Thence from one discourse to another, and
+looking over my house, and other things I spent the day at home, and at
+night betimes to bed.  After dinner this day I went down by water to
+Deptford, and fetched up what money there was of W. Howe's contingencies
+in the chest there, being L516 13s. 3d. and brought it home to dispose of.
+
+31st.  Lay pretty long in bed, and then up and to the office, where we met
+on extraordinary occasion about the business of tickets.  By and by to the
+'Change, and there did several businesses, among others brought home my
+cozen Pepys, whom I appointed to be here to-day, and Mr. Moore met us upon
+the business of my Lord's bond.  Seeing my neighbour Mr. Knightly walk
+alone from the 'Change, his family being not yet come to town, I did
+invite him home with me, and he dined with me, a very sober, pretty man he
+is.  He is mighty solicitous, as I find many about the City that live near
+the churchyards, to have the churchyards covered with lime, and I think it
+is needfull, and ours I hope will be done.  Good pleasant discourse at
+dinner of the practices of merchants to cheate the "Customers," occasioned
+by Mr. Moore's being with much trouble freed of his prize goods, which he
+bought, which fell into the Customers' hands, and with much ado hath
+cleared them.  Mr. Knightly being gone, my cozen Pepys and Moore and I to
+our business, being the clearing of my Lord Sandwich's bond wherein I am
+bound with him to my cozen for L1000 I have at last by my dexterity got my
+Lord's consent to have it paid out of the money raised by his prizes.  So
+the bond is cancelled, and he paid by having a note upon Sir Robert Viner,
+in whose hands I had lodged my Lord's money, by which I am to my
+extraordinary comfort eased of a liablenesse to pay the sum in case of my
+Lord's death, or troubles in estate, or my Lord's greater fall, which God
+defend!  Having settled this matter at Sir R. Viner's, I took up Mr. Moore
+(my cozen going home) and to my Lord Chancellor's new house which he is
+building, only to view it, hearing so much from Mr. Evelyn of it; and,
+indeed, it is the finest pile I ever did see in my life, and will be a
+glorious house.  Thence to the Duke of Albemarle, who tells me Mr.
+Coventry is come to town and directs me to go to him about some business
+in hand, whether out of displeasure or desire of ease I know not; but I
+asked him not the reason of it but went to White Hall, but could not find
+him there, though to my great joy people begin to bustle up and down
+there, the King holding his resolution to be in towne to-morrow, and hath
+good encouragement, blessed be God! to do so, the plague being decreased
+this week to 56, and the total to 227.  So after going to the Swan in the
+Palace, and sent for Spicer to discourse about my last Tangier tallys that
+have some of the words washed out with the rain, to have them new writ, I
+home, and there did some business and at the office, and so home to
+supper, and to bed.
+
+                          DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS.
+                                FEBRUARY
+                                1665-1666
+
+February 1st.  Up and to the office, where all the morning till late, and
+Mr. Coventry with us, the first time since before the plague, then hearing
+my wife was gone abroad to buy things and see her mother and father, whom
+she hath not seen since before the plague, and no dinner provided for me
+ready, I walked to Captain Cocke's, knowing my Lord Bruncker dined there,
+and there very merry, and a good dinner.  Thence my Lord and his
+mistresse, Madam Williams, set me down at the Exchange, and I to Alderman
+Backewell's to set all my reckonings straight there, which I did, and took
+up all my notes.  So evened to this day, and thence to Sir Robert Viner's,
+where I did the like, leaving clear in his hands just L2000 of my owne
+money, to be called for when I pleased.  Having done all this I home, and
+there to the office, did my business there by the post and so home, and
+spent till one in the morning in my chamber to set right all my money
+matters, and so to bed.
+
+2nd.  Up betimes, and knowing that my Lord Sandwich is come to towne with
+the King and Duke, I to wait upon him, which I did, and find him in very
+good humour, which I am glad to see with all my heart.  Having received
+his commands, and discoursed with some of his people about my Lord's
+going, and with Sir Roger Cuttance, who was there, and finds himself
+slighted by Sir W. Coventry, I advised him however to look after
+employment lest it should be said that my Lord's friends do forsake the
+service after he hath made them rich with the prizes.  I to London, and
+there among other things did look over some pictures at Cade's for my
+house, and did carry home a silver drudger
+
+     [The dredger was probably the drageoir of France; in low Latin,
+     dragerium, or drageria, in which comfits (dragdes) were kept.
+     Roquefort says, "The ladies wore a little spice-box, in shape like a
+     watch, to carry dragles, and it was called a drageoir."  The custom
+     continued certainly till the middle of the last century.  Old
+     Palsgrave, in his "Eclaircissement de la Langue Francaise," gives
+     "dradge" as spice, rendering it by the French word dragde.  Chaucer
+     says, of his Doctor of Physic, "Full ready hadde he his Apothecaries
+     To send him dragges, and his lattuaries."  The word sometimes may
+     have signified the pounded condiments in which our forefathers
+     delighted.  It is worth notice, that "dragge" was applied to a grain
+     in the eastern counties, though not exclusively there, appearing to
+     denote mixed grain.  Bishop Kennett tells us that "dredge mault is
+     mault made up of oats, mixed with barley, of which they make an
+     excellent, freshe, quiete sort of drinke, in Staffordshire."  The
+     dredger is still commonly used in our kitchen.--B.]
+
+for my cupboard of plate, and did call for my silver chafing dishes, but
+they are sent home, and the man would not be paid for them, saying that he
+was paid for them already, and with much ado got him to tell me by Mr.
+Wayth, but I would not accept of that, but will send him his money, not
+knowing any courtesy I have yet done him to deserve it.  So home, and with
+my wife looked over our plate, and picked out L40 worth, I believe, to
+change for more usefull plate, to our great content, and then we shall
+have a very handsome cupboard of plate.  So to dinner, and then to the
+office, where we had a meeting extraordinary, about stating to the Duke
+the present debts of the Navy, for which ready money must be had, and that
+being done, I to my business, where late, and then home to supper, and to
+bed.
+
+3rd.  Up, and to the office very busy till 3 o'clock, and then home, all
+of us, for half an hour to dinner, and to it again till eight at night,
+stating our wants of money for the Duke, but could not finish it.  So
+broke up, and I to my office, then about letters and other businesses very
+late, and so home to supper, weary with business, and to bed.
+
+4th.  Lord's day; and my wife and I the first time together at church
+since the plague, and now only because of Mr. Mills his coming home to
+preach his first sermon; expecting a great excuse for his leaving the
+parish before any body went, and now staying till all are come home; but
+he made but a very poor and short excuse, and a bad sermon.  It was a
+frost, and had snowed last night, which covered the graves in the
+churchyard, so as I was the less afeard for going through.  Here I had the
+content to see my noble Mrs. Lethulier, and so home to dinner, and all the
+afternoon at my Journall till supper, it being a long while behindhand.
+At supper my wife tells me that W. Joyce has been with her this evening,
+the first time since the plague, and tells her my aunt James is lately
+dead of the stone, and what she had hath given to his and his brother's
+wife and my cozen Sarah.  So after supper to work again, and late to bed.
+
+5th.  Up, and with Sir W. Batten (at whose lodgings calling for him, I saw
+his Lady the first time since her coming to towne since the plague, having
+absented myself designedly to shew some discontent, and that I am not at
+all the more suppliant because of my Lord Sandwich's fall), to my Lord
+Bruncker's, to see whether he goes to the Duke's this morning or no. But
+it is put off, and so we parted.  My Lord invited me to dinner to-day to
+dine with Sir W. Batten and his Lady there, who were invited before, but
+lest he should thinke so little an invitation would serve my turne I
+refused and parted, and to Westminster about business, and so back to the
+'Change, and there met Mr. Hill, newly come to town, and with him the
+Houblands, preparing for their ship's and his going to Tangier, and agreed
+that I must sup with them to-night.  So home and eat a bit, and then to
+White Hall to a Committee for Tangier, but it did not meet but was put off
+to to-morrow, so I did some little business and visited my Lord Sandwich,
+and so, it raining, went directly to the Sun, behind the Exchange, about
+seven o'clock, where I find all the five brothers Houblons, and mighty
+fine gentlemen they are all, and used me mighty respectfully.  We were
+mighty civilly merry, and their discourses, having been all abroad, very
+fine.  Here late and at last accompanied home with Mr. J. Houblon and
+Hill, whom I invited to sup with me on Friday, and so parted and I home to
+bed.
+
+6th.  Up, and to the office, where very busy all the morning.  We met upon
+a report to the Duke of Yorke of the debts of the Navy, which we finished
+by three o'clock, and having eat one little bit of meate, I by water
+before the rest to White Hall (and they to come after me) because of a
+Committee for Tangier, where I did my business of stating my accounts
+perfectly well, and to good liking, and do not discern, but the Duke of
+Albemarle is my friend in his intentions notwithstanding my general fears.
+After that to our Navy business, where my fellow officers were called in,
+and did that also very well, and then broke up, and I home by coach,
+Tooker with me, and staid in Lumbard Streete at Viner's, and sent home for
+the plate which my wife and I had a mind to change, and there changed it,
+about L50 worth, into things more usefull, whereby we shall now have a
+very handsome cupboard of plate.  So home to the office, wrote my letters
+by the post, and to bed.
+
+7th.  It being fast day I staid at home all day long to set things to
+rights in my chamber by taking out all my books, and putting my chamber in
+the same condition it was before the plague.  But in the morning doing of
+it, and knocking up a nail I did bruise my left thumb so as broke a great
+deal of my flesh off, that it hung by a little.  It was a sight frighted
+my wife, but I put some balsam of Mrs. Turner's to it, and though in great
+pain, yet went on with my business, and did it to my full content, setting
+every thing in order, in hopes now that the worst of our fears are over as
+to the plague for the next year.  Interrupted I was by two or three
+occasions this day to my great vexation, having this the only day I have
+been able to set apart for this work since my coming to town.  At night to
+supper, weary, and to bed, having had the plasterers and joiners also to
+do some jobbs.
+
+8th.  Up, and all the morning at the office.  At noon to the 'Change,
+expecting to have received from Mr. Houbland, as he promised me, an
+assignment upon Viner, for my reward for my getting them the going of
+their two ships to Tangier, but I find myself much disappointed therein,
+for I spoke with him and he said nothing of it, but looked coldly, through
+some disturbance he meets with in our business through Colonell Norwood's
+pressing them to carry more goods than will leave room for some of their
+own.  But I shall ease them.  Thence to Captain Cocke's, where Mr.
+Williamson, Wren, Boldell and Madam Williams, and by and by Lord Bruncker,
+he having been with the King and Duke upon the water to-day, to see
+Greenwich house, and the yacht Castle is building of, and much good
+discourse.  So to White Hall to see my Lord Sandwich, and then home to my
+business till night, and then to bed.
+
+9th.  Up, and betimes to Sir Philip Warwicke, who was glad to see me, and
+very kind.  Thence to Colonell Norwood's lodgings, and there set about
+Houblons' business about their ships.  Thence to Westminster, to the
+Exchequer, about my Tangier business to get orders for tallys, and so to
+the Hall, where the first day of the Terme, and the Hall very full of
+people, and much more than was expected, considering the plague that hath
+been.  Thence to the 'Change, and to the Sun behind it to dinner with the
+Lieutenant of the Tower, Colonell Norwood and others, where strange
+pleasure they seem to take in their wine and meate, and discourse of it
+with the curiosity and joy that methinks was below men of worthe.  Thence
+home, and there very much angry with my people till I had put all things
+in good forwardnesse about my supper for the Houblons, but that being done
+I was in good humour again, and all things in good order.  Anon the five
+brothers Houblons come and Mr. Hill, and a very good supper we had, and
+good company and discourse, with great pleasure.  My new plate sets off my
+cupboard very nobly.  Here they were till about eleven at night with great
+pleasure, and a fine sight it is to see these five brothers thus loving
+one to another, and all industrious merchants.  Our subject was
+principally Mr. Hill's going for them to Portugall, which was the occasion
+of this entertainment.  They gone, we to bed.
+
+10th.  Up, and to the office.  At noon, full of business, to dinner. This
+day comes first Sir Thomas Harvy after the plague, having been out of
+towne all this while.  He was coldly received by us, and he went away
+before we rose also, to make himself appear yet a man less necessary.
+After dinner, being full of care and multitude of business, I took coach
+and my wife with me.  I set her down at her mother's (having first called
+at my Lord Treasurer's and there spoke with Sir Ph. Warwicke), and I to
+the Exchequer about Tangier orders, and so to the Swan and there staid a
+little, and so by coach took up my wife, and at the old Exchange bought a
+muffe, and so home and late at my letters, and so to supper and to bed,
+being now-a-days, for these four or five months, mightily troubled with my
+snoring in my sleep, and know not how to remedy it.
+
+11th (Lord's day).  Up, and put on a new black cloth suit to an old coate
+that I make to be in mourning at Court, where they are all, for the King
+of Spayne.--[Philip IV., who died September 17th, 1665.]--To church I, and
+at noon dined well, and then by water to White Hall, carrying a captain of
+the Tower (who desired his freight thither); there I to the Parke, and
+walked two or three turns of the Pell Mell with the company about the King
+and Duke; the Duke speaking to me a good deal.  There met Lord Bruncker
+and Mr. Coventry, and discoursed about the Navy business; and all of us
+much at a loss that we yet can hear nothing of Sir Jeremy Smith's fleete,
+that went away to the Streights the middle of December, through all the
+storms that we have had since, that have driven back three or four of them
+with their masts by the board.  Yesterday come out the King's Declaration
+of War against the French, but with such mild invitations of both them and
+the Dutch to come over hither with promise of their protection, that every
+body wonders at it.  Thence home with my Lord Bruncker for discourse sake,
+and thence by hackney coach home, and so my wife and I mighty pleasant
+discourse, supped and to bed.  The great wound I had Wednesday last in my
+thumb having with once dressing by Mrs. Turner's balsam been perfectly
+cured, whereas I did not hope to save my nail, whatever else ill it did
+give me.  My wife and I are much thoughtfull now-a-days about Pall's
+coming up in order to a husband.
+
+12th.  Up, and very busy to perform an oathe in finishing my Journall this
+morning for 7 or 8 days past.  Then to several people attending upon
+business, among others Mr. Grant and the executors of Barlow for the L25
+due for the quarter before he died, which I scrupled to pay, being obliged
+but to pay every half year.  Then comes Mr. Caesar, my boy's lute-master,
+whom I have not seen since the plague before, but he hath been in
+Westminster all this while very well; and tells me in the height of it,
+how bold people there were, to go in sport to one another's burials; and
+in spite too, ill people would breathe in the faces (out of their windows)
+of well people going by.  Then to dinner before the 'Change, and so to the
+'Change, and then to the taverne to talk with Sir William Warren, and so
+by coach to several places, among others to my Lord Treasurer's, there to
+meet my Lord Sandwich, but missed, and met him at [my] Lord Chancellor's,
+and there talked with him about his accounts, and then about Sir G.
+Carteret, and I find by him that Sir G. Carteret has a worse game to play
+than my Lord Sandwich, for people are jeering at him, and he cries out of
+the business of Sir W. Coventry, who strikes at all and do all.  Then to
+my bookseller's, and then received some books I have new bought, and here
+late choosing some more to new bind, having resolved to give myself L10 in
+books, and so home to the office and then home to supper, where Mr. Hill
+was and supped with us, and good discourse; an excellent person he still
+appears to me.  After supper, and he gone, we to bed.
+
+13th.  Up, and all the morning at the office.  At noon to the 'Change, and
+thence after business dined at the Sheriffe's [Hooker], being carried by
+Mr. Lethulier, where to my heart's content I met with his wife, a most
+beautifull fat woman.  But all the house melancholy upon the sickness of a
+daughter of the house in childbed, Mr. Vaughan's lady.  So all of them
+undressed, but however this lady a very fine woman.  I had a salute of
+her, and after dinner some discourse the Sheriffe and I about a parcel of
+tallow I am buying for the office of him.  I away home, and there at the
+office all the afternoon till late at night, and then away home to supper
+and to bed.  Ill newes this night that the plague is encreased this week,
+and in many places else about the towne, and at Chatham and elsewhere.
+This day my wife wanting a chambermaid with much ado got our old little
+Jane to be found out, who come to see her and hath lived all this while in
+one place, but is so well that we will not desire her removal, but are
+mighty glad to see the poor wench, who is very well and do well.
+
+14th (St. Valentine's day).  This morning called up by Mr. Hill, who, my
+wife thought, had been come to be her Valentine; she, it seems, having
+drawne him last night, but it proved not.  However, calling him up to our
+bed-side, my wife challenged him.  I up, and made myself ready, and so
+with him by coach to my Lord Sandwich's by appointment to deliver Mr.
+Howe's accounts to my Lord.  Which done, my Lord did give me hearty and
+large studied thanks for all my kindnesse to him and care of him and his
+business.  I after profession of all duty to his Lordship took occasion to
+bemoane myself that I should fall into such a difficulty about Sir G.
+Carteret, as not to be for him, but I must be against Sir W. Coventry, and
+therefore desired to be neutrall, which my Lord approved and confessed
+reasonable, but desired me to befriend him privately.  Having done in
+private with my Lord I brought Mr. Hill to kisse his hands, to whom my
+Lord professed great respect upon my score.  My Lord being gone, I took
+Mr. Hill to my Lord Chancellor's new house that is building, and went with
+trouble up to the top of it, and there is there the noblest prospect that
+ever I saw in my life, Greenwich being nothing to it; and in every thing
+is a beautiful house, and most strongly built in every respect; and as if,
+as it hath, it had the Chancellor for its master. Thence with him to his
+paynter, Mr. Hales, who is drawing his picture, which will be mighty like
+him, and pleased me so, that I am resolved presently to have my wife's and
+mine done by him, he having a very masterly hand.  So with mighty
+satisfaction to the 'Change and thence home, and after dinner abroad,
+taking Mrs. Mary Batelier with us, who was just come to see my wife, and
+they set me down at my Lord Treasurer's, and themselves went with the
+coach into the fields to take the ayre.  I staid a meeting of the Duke of
+Yorke's, and the officers of the Navy and Ordnance.  My Lord Treasurer
+lying in bed of the gowte.  Our business was discourse of the straits of
+the Navy for want of money, but after long discourse as much out of order
+as ordinary people's, we come to no issue, nor any money promised, or like
+to be had, and yet the worke must be done.  Here I perceive Sir G.
+Carteret had prepared himself to answer a choque of Sir W. Coventry, by
+offering of himself to shew all he had paid, and what is unpaid, and what
+moneys and assignments he hath in his hands, which, if he makes good, was
+the best thing he ever did say in his life, and the best timed, for else
+it must have fallen very foule on him. The meeting done I away, my wife
+and they being come back and staying for me at the gate.  But, Lord!  to
+see how afeard I was that Sir W. Coventry should have spyed me once
+whispering with Sir G. Carteret, though not intended by me, but only Sir
+G. Carteret come to me and I could not avoyde it.  So home, they set me
+down at the 'Change, and I to the Crowne, where my Lord Bruncker was come
+and several of the Virtuosi, and after a small supper and but little good
+discourse I with Sir W. Batten (who was brought thither with my Lord
+Bruncker) home, where I find my wife gone to Mrs. Mercer's to be merry,
+but presently come in with Mrs. Knipp, who, it seems, is in towne, and was
+gone thither with my wife and Mercer to dance, and after eating a little
+supper went thither again to spend the whole night there, being W. Howe
+there, at whose chamber they are, and Lawd Crisp by chance.  I to bed.
+
+15th.  Up, and my wife not come home all night.  To the office, where sat
+all the morning.  At noon to Starky's, a great cooke in Austin Friars,
+invited by Colonell Atkins, and a good dinner for Colonell Norwood and his
+friends, among others Sir Edward Spragg and others, but ill attendance.
+Before dined, called on by my wife in a coach, and so I took leave, and
+then with her and Knipp and Mercer (Mr. Hunt newly come out of the country
+being there also come to see us) to Mr. Hales, the paynter's, having set
+down Mr. Hunt by the way.  Here Mr. Hales' begun my wife in the posture we
+saw one of my Lady Peters, like a St. Katharine.
+
+     [It was the fashion at this time to be painted as St. Catherine, in
+     compliment to the queen.]
+
+While he painted, Knipp, and Mercer, and I, sang; and by and by comes Mrs.
+Pierce, with my name in her bosom for her Valentine, which will cost me
+money.  But strange how like his very first dead colouring is, that it did
+me good to see it, and pleases me mightily, and I believe will be a noble
+picture.  Thence with them all as far as Fleete Streete, and there set
+Mercer and Knipp down, and we home.  I to the office, whither the Houblons
+come telling me of a little new trouble from Norwood about their ship,
+which troubles me, though without reason.  So late home to supper and to
+bed.  We hear this night of Sir Jeremy Smith, that he and his fleete have
+been seen at Malaga; which is good newes.
+
+16th.  Up betimes, and by appointment to the Exchange, where I met Messrs.
+Houblons, and took them up in my coach and carried them to Charing Crosse,
+where they to Colonell Norwood to see how they can settle matters with
+him, I having informed them by the way with advice to be easy with him,
+for he may hereafter do us service, and they and I are like to understand
+one another to very good purpose.  I to my Lord Sandwich, and there alone
+with him to talke of his affairs, and particularly of his prize goods,
+wherein I find he is wearied with being troubled, and gives over the care
+of it to let it come to what it will, having the King's release for the
+dividend made, and for the rest he thinks himself safe from being proved
+to have anything more.  Thence to the Exchequer, and so by coach to the
+'Change, Mr. Moore with me, who tells me very odde passages of the
+indiscretion of my Lord in the management of his family, of his
+carelessnesse, &c., which troubles me, but makes me rejoice with all my
+heart of my being rid of the bond of L1000, for that would have been a
+cruel blow to me.  With Moore to the Coffee-House, the first time I have
+been there, where very full, and company it seems hath been there all the
+plague time.  So to the 'Change, and then home to dinner, and after dinner
+to settle accounts with him for my Lord, and so evened with him to this
+day.  Then to the office, and out with Sir W. Warren for discourse by
+coach to White Hall, thinking to have spoke with Sir W. Coventry, but did
+not, and to see the Queene, but she comes but to Hampton Court to-night.
+Back to my office and there late, and so home to supper and bed.  I walked
+a good while to-night with Mr. Hater in the garden, talking about a
+husband for my sister, and reckoning up all our clerks about us, none of
+which he thinks fit for her and her portion.  At last I thought of young
+Gawden, and will thinke of it again.
+
+17th.  Up, and to the office, where busy all the morning.  Late to dinner,
+and then to the office again, and there busy till past twelve at night,
+and so home to supper and to bed.  We have newes of Sir Jeremy Smith's
+being very well with his fleete at Cales.--[Cadiz]

+18th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed discoursing with pleasure with my
+wife, among other things about Pall's coming up, for she must be here a
+little to be fashioned, and my wife hath a mind to go down for her, which
+I am not much against, and so I rose and to my chamber to settle several
+things.  At noon comes my uncle Wight to dinner, and brings with him Mrs.
+Wight, sad company to me, nor was I much pleased with it, only I must shew
+respect to my uncle.  After dinner they gone, and it being a brave day, I
+walked to White Hall, where the Queene and ladies are all come: I saw some
+few of them, but not the Queene, nor any of the great beauties. I
+endeavoured to have seen my Lord Hinchingbrooke, who come to town
+yesterday, but I could not.  Met with Creed and walked with him a turne or
+two in the Parke, but without much content, having now designs of getting
+money in my head, which allow me not the leisure I used to have with him,
+besides an odde story lately told of him for a great truth, of his
+endeavouring to lie with a woman at Oxford, and her crying out saved her;
+and this being publickly known, do a little make me hate him. Thence took
+coach, and calling by the way at my bookseller's for a booke I writ about
+twenty years ago in prophecy of this year coming on, 1666, explaining it
+to be the marke of the beast, I home, and there fell to reading, and then
+to supper, and to bed.
+
+19th.  Up, and by coach to my Lord Sandwich's, but he was gone out.  So I
+to White Hall, and there waited on the Duke of Yorke with some of the rest
+of our brethren, and thence back again to my Lord's, to see my Lord
+Hinchingbroke, which I did, and I am mightily out of countenance in my
+great expectation of him by others' report, though he is indeed a pretty
+gentleman, yet nothing what I took him for, methinks, either as to person
+or discourse discovered to me, but I must try him more before I go too far
+in censuring.  Hence to the Exchequer from office to office, to set my
+business of my tallys in doing, and there all the morning.  So at noon by
+coach to St. Paul's Church-yarde to my Bookseller's, and there bespoke a
+few more books to bring all I have lately bought to L10.  Here I am told
+for certain, what I have heard once or twice already, of a Jew in town,
+that in the name of the rest do offer to give any man L10 to be paid L100,
+if a certain person now at Smyrna be within these two years owned by all
+the Princes of the East, and particularly the grand Signor as the King of
+the world, in the same manner we do the King of England here, and that
+this man is the true Messiah.  One named a friend of his that had received
+ten pieces in gold upon this score, and says that the Jew hath disposed of
+L1100 in this manner, which is very strange; and certainly this year of
+1666 will be a year of great action; but what the consequences of it will
+be, God knows!  Thence to the 'Change, and from my stationer's thereabouts
+carried home by coach two books of Ogilby's, his AEsop and Coronation,
+which fell to my lot at his lottery.  Cost me L4 besides the binding.  So
+home.  I find my wife gone out to Hales, her paynter's, and I after a
+little dinner do follow her, and there do find him at worke, and with
+great content I do see it will be a very brave picture.  Left her there,
+and I to my Lord Treasurer's, where Sir G. Carteret and Sir J. Minnes met
+me, and before my Lord Treasurer and Duke of Albemarle the state of our
+Navy debts were laid open, being very great, and their want of money to
+answer them openly professed, there being but L1,500,000 to answer a
+certaine expense and debt of L2,300,000. Thence walked with Fenn down to
+White Hall, and there saw the Queene at cards with many ladies, but none
+of our beauties were there.  But glad I was to see the Queene so well, who
+looks prettily; and methinks hath more life than before, since it is
+confessed of all that she miscarryed lately; Dr. Clerke telling me
+yesterday at White Hall that he had the membranes and other vessels in his
+hands which she voided, and were perfect as ever woman's was that bore a
+child.  Thence hoping to find my Lord Sandwich, away by coach to my Lord
+Chancellor's, but missed him, and so home and to office, and then to
+supper and my Journall, and to bed.
+
+20th.  Up, and to the office; where, among other businesses, Mr. Evelyn's
+proposition about publique Infirmarys was read and agreed on, he being
+there: and at noon I took him home to dinner, being desirous of keeping my
+acquaintance with him; and a most excellent humoured man I still find him,
+and mighty knowing.  After dinner I took him by coach to White Hall, and
+there he and I parted, and I to my Lord Sandwich's, where coming and
+bolting into the dining-room, I there found Captain Ferrers going to
+christen a child of his born yesterday, and I come just pat to be a
+godfather, along with my Lord Hinchingbrooke, and Madam Pierce, my
+Valentine, which for that reason I was pretty well contented with, though
+a little vexed to see myself so beset with people to spend me money, as
+she of a Valentine and little Mrs. Tooker, who is come to my house this
+day from Greenwich, and will cost me 20s., my wife going out with her this
+afternoon, and now this christening.  Well, by and by the child is brought
+and christened Katharine, and I this day on this occasion drank a glasse
+of wine, which I have not professedly done these two years, I think, but a
+little in the time of the sicknesse.  After that done, and gone and kissed
+the mother in bed, I away to Westminster Hall, and there hear that Mrs.
+Lane is come to town.  So I staid loitering up and down till anon she
+comes and agreed to meet at Swayn's, and there I went anon, and she come,
+but staid but little, the place not being private.  I have not seen her
+since before the plague.  So thence parted and 'rencontrais a' her last
+'logis', and in the place did what I 'tenais a mind pour ferais con her'.
+At last she desired to borrow money of me, L5, and would pawn gold with me
+for it, which I accepted and promised in a day or two to supply her.  So
+away home to the office, and thence home, where little Mrs. Tooker staid
+all night with us, and a pretty child she is, and happens to be niece to
+my beauty that is dead, that lived at the Jackanapes, in Cheapside.  So to
+bed, a little troubled that I have been at two houses this afternoon with
+Mrs. Lane that were formerly shut up of the plague.
+
+21st.  Up, and with Sir J. Minnes to White Hall by his coach, by the way
+talking of my brother John to get a spiritual promotion for him, which I
+am now to looke after, for as much as he is shortly to be Master in Arts,
+and writes me this weeke a Latin letter that he is to go into orders this
+Lent.  There to the Duke's chamber, and find our fellows discoursing there
+on our business, so I was sorry to come late, but no hurte was done
+thereby.  Here the Duke, among other things, did bring out a book of great
+antiquity of some of the customs of the Navy, about 100 years since, which
+he did lend us to read and deliver him back again.  Thence I to the
+Exchequer, and there did strike my tallys for a quarter for Tangier and
+carried them home with me, and thence to Trinity-house, being invited to
+an Elder Brother's feast; and there met and sat by Mr. Prin, and had good
+discourse about the privileges of Parliament, which, he says, are few to
+the Commons' House, and those not examinable by them, but only by the
+House of Lords.  Thence with my Lord Bruncker to Gresham College, the
+first time after the sicknesse that I was there, and the second time any
+met.  And here a good lecture of Mr. Hooke's about the trade of
+felt-making, very pretty.  And anon alone with me about the art of drawing
+pictures by Prince Rupert's rule and machine, and another of Dr. Wren's;
+
+     [Afterwards the famous Sir Christopher Wren.  He was one of the
+     mainstays of the Royal Society.]
+
+but he says nothing do like squares, or, which is the best in the world,
+like a darke roome,--[The camera obscura.]--which pleased me mightily.
+Thence with Povy home to my house, and there late settling accounts with
+him, which was very troublesome to me, and he gone, found Mr. Hill below,
+who sat with me till late talking, and so away, and we to bed.
+
+22nd.  Up, and to the office, where sat all the morning.  At noon home to
+dinner and thence by coach with my wife for ayre principally for her. I
+alone stopped at Hales's and there mightily am pleased with my wife's
+picture that is begun there, and with Mr. Hill's, though I must [owne] I
+am not more pleased with it now the face is finished than I was when I saw
+it the second time of sitting.  Thence to my Lord Sandwich's, but he not
+within, but goes to-morrow.  My wife to Mrs. Hunt's, who is lately come to
+towne and grown mighty fat.  I called her there, and so home and late at
+the office, and so home to supper and to bed.  We are much troubled that
+the sicknesse in general (the town being so full of people) should be but
+three, and yet of the particular disease of the plague there should be ten
+encrease.
+
+23rd.  Up betimes, and out of doors by 6 of the clock, and walked (W. Howe
+with me) to my Lord Sandwich's, who did lie the last night at his house in
+Lincoln's Inne Fields.  It being fine walking in the morning, and the
+streets full of people again.  There I staid, and the house full of people
+come to take leave of my Lord, who this day goes out of towne upon his
+embassy towards Spayne.  And I was glad to find Sir W. Coventry to come,
+though I know it is only a piece of courtshipp.  I had much discourse with
+my Lord, he telling me how fully he leaves the King his friend and the
+large discourse he had with him the other day, and how he desired to have
+the business of the prizes examined before he went, and that he yielded to
+it, and it is done as far as it concerns himself to the full, and the
+Lords Commissioners for prizes did reprehend all the informers in what
+related to his Lordship, which I am glad of in many respects.  But we
+could not make an end of discourse, so I promised to waite upon [him] on
+Sunday at Cranborne, and took leave and away hence to Mr. Hales's with Mr.
+Hill and two of the Houblons, who come thither to speak with me, and saw
+my wife's picture, which pleases me well, but Mr. Hill's picture never a
+whit so well as it did before it was finished, which troubled me, and I
+begin to doubt the picture of my Lady Peters my wife takes her posture
+from, and which is an excellent picture, is not of his making, it is so
+master-like.  I set them down at the 'Change and I home to the office, and
+at noon dined at home and to the office again. Anon comes Mrs. Knipp to
+see my wife, who is gone out, so I fain to entertain her, and took her out
+by coach to look my wife at Mrs. Pierce's and Unthanke's, but find her
+not.  So back again, and then my wife comes home, having been buying of
+things, and at home I spent all the night talking with this baggage, and
+teaching her my song of "Beauty retire," which she sings and makes go most
+rarely, and a very fine song it seems to be.  She also entertained me with
+repeating many of her own and others' parts of the play-house, which she
+do most excellently; and tells me the whole practices of the play-house
+and players, and is in every respect most excellent company.  So I supped,
+and was merry at home all the evening, and the rather it being my
+birthday, 33 years, for which God be praised that I am in so good a
+condition of healthe and estate, and every thing else as I am, beyond
+expectation, in all.  So she to Mrs. Turner's to lie, and we to bed.
+Mightily pleased to find myself in condition to have these people come
+about me and to be able to entertain them, and have the pleasure of their
+qualities, than which no man can have more in the world.
+
+24th.  All the morning at the office till past three o'clock.  At that
+houre home and eat a bit alone, my wife being gone out.  So abroad by
+coach with Mr. Hill, who staid for me to speake about business, and he and
+I to Hales's, where I find my wife and her woman, and Pierce and Knipp,
+and there sung and was mighty merry, and I joyed myself in it; but vexed
+at first to find my wife's picture not so like as I expected; but it was
+only his having finished one part, and not another, of the face; but,
+before I went, I was satisfied it will be an excellent picture. Here we
+had ale and cakes and mighty merry, and sung my song, which she [Knipp]
+now sings bravely, and makes me proud of myself.  Thence left my wife to
+go home with Mrs. Pierce, while I home to the office, and there pretty
+late, and to bed, after fitting myself for to-morrow's journey.
+
+25th (Lord's day).  My wife up between three and four of the clock in the
+morning to dress herself, and I about five, and were all ready to take
+coach, she and I and Mercer, a little past five, but, to our trouble,
+the coach did not come till six.  Then with our coach of four horses I
+hire on purpose, and Leshmore to ride by, we through the City to Branford
+and so to Windsor, Captain Ferrers overtaking us at Kensington, being to
+go with us, and here drank, and so through, making no stay, to Cranborne,
+about eleven o'clock, and found my Lord and the ladies at a sermon in the
+house; which being ended we to them, and all the company glad to see us,
+and mighty merry to dinner.  Here was my Lord, and Lord Hinchingbroke, and
+Mr. Sidney, Sir Charles Herbert, and Mr. Carteret, my Lady Carteret, my
+Lady Jemimah, and Lady Slaning.  After dinner to talk to and again, and
+then to walke in the Parke, my Lord and I alone, talking upon these heads;
+first, he has left his business of the prizes as well as is possible for
+him, having cleared himself before the Commissioners by the King's
+commands, so that nothing or little is to be feared from that point, he
+goes fully assured, he tells me, of the King's favour.  That upon occasion
+I may know, I desired to know, his friends I may trust to, he tells me,
+but that he is not yet in England, but continues this summer in Ireland,
+my Lord Orrery is his father almost in affection.  He tells me my Lord of
+Suffolke, Lord Arlington, Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Treasurer, Mr.
+Atturny Montagu, Sir Thomas Clifford in the House of Commons, Sir G.
+Carteret, and some others I cannot presently remember, are friends that I
+may rely on for him.  He tells me my Lord Chancellor seems his very good
+friend, but doubts that he may not think him so much a servant of the Duke
+of Yorke's as he would have him, and indeed my Lord tells me he hath
+lately made it his business to be seen studious of the King's favour, and
+not of the Duke's, and by the King will stand or fall, for factions there
+are, as he tells me, and God knows how high they may come.  The Duke of
+Albemarle's post is so great, having had the name of bringing in the King,
+that he is like to stand, or, if it were not for him, God knows in what
+troubles we might be from some private faction, if an army could be got
+into another hand, which God forbid!  It is believed that though Mr.
+Coventry be in appearance so great against the Chancellor, yet that there
+is a good understanding between the Duke and him.  He dreads the issue of
+this year, and fears there will be some very great revolutions before his
+coming back again.  He doubts it is needful for him to have a pardon for
+his last year's actions, all which he did without commission, and at most
+but the King's private single word for that of Bergen; but he dares not
+ask it at this time, lest it should make them think that there is
+something more in it than yet they know; and if it should be denied, it
+would be of very ill consequence.  He says also, if it should in
+Parliament be enquired into the selling of Dunkirke (though the Chancellor
+was the man that would have it sold to France, saying the King of Spayne
+had no money to give for it); yet he will be found to have been the
+greatest adviser of it; which he is a little apprehensive may be called
+upon this Parliament.  He told me it would not be necessary for him to
+tell me his debts, because he thinks I know them so well.  He tells me,
+that for the match propounded of Mrs. Mallett for my Lord Hinchingbroke,
+it hath been lately off, and now her friends bring it on again, and an
+overture hath been made to him by a servant of hers, to compass the thing
+without consent of friends, she herself having a respect to my Lord's
+family, but my Lord will not listen to it but in a way of honour.  The
+Duke hath for this weeke or two been very kind to him, more than lately;
+and so others, which he thinks is a good sign of faire weather again.  He
+says the Archbishopp of Canterbury hath been very kind to him, and hath
+plainly said to him that he and all the world knows the difference between
+his judgment and brains and the Duke of Albemarle's, and then calls my
+Lady Duchesse the veryest slut and drudge and the foulest worde that can
+be spoke of a woman almost.  My Lord having walked an houre with me
+talking thus and going in, and my Lady Carteret not suffering me to go
+back again to-night, my Lord to walke again with me about some of this and
+other discourse, and then in a-doors and to talke with all and with my
+Lady Carteret, and I with the young ladies and gentle men, who played on
+the guittar, and mighty merry, and anon to supper, and then my Lord going
+away to write, the young gentlemen to flinging of cushions, and other mad
+sports; at this late till towards twelve at night, and then being sleepy,
+I and my wife in a passage-room to bed, and slept not very well because of
+noise.
+
+26th.  Called up about five in the morning, and my Lord up, and took
+leave, a little after six, very kindly of me and the whole company.  Then
+I in, and my wife up and to visit my Lady Slaving in her bed, and there
+sat three hours, with Lady Jemimah with us, talking and laughing, and by
+and by my Lady Carteret comes, and she and I to talke, I glad to please
+her in discourse of Sir G. Carteret, that all will do well with him, and
+she is much pleased, he having had great annoyance and fears about his
+well doing, and I fear hath doubted that I have not been a friend to him,
+but cries out against my Lady Castlemaine, that makes the King neglect his
+business and seems much to fear that all will go to wracke, and I fear
+with great reason; exclaims against the Duke of Albemarle, and more the
+Duchesse for a filthy woman, as indeed she is.  Here staid till 9 o'clock
+almost, and then took coach with so much love and kindnesse from my Lady
+Carteret, Lady Jemimah, and Lady Slaving, that it joys my heart, and when
+I consider the manner of my going hither, with a coach and four horses and
+servants and a woman with us, and coming hither being so much made of, and
+used with that state, and then going to Windsor and being shewn all that
+we were there, and had wherewith to give every body something for their
+pains, and then going home, and all in fine weather and no fears nor cares
+upon me, I do thinke myself obliged to thinke myself happy, and do look
+upon myself at this time in the happiest occasion a man can be, and
+whereas we take pains in expectation of future comfort and ease, I have
+taught myself to reflect upon myself at present as happy, and enjoy myself
+in that consideration, and not only please myself with thoughts of future
+wealth and forget the pleasure we at present enjoy.  So took coach and to
+Windsor, to the Garter, and thither sent for Dr. Childe;  who come to us,
+and carried us to St. George's Chappell; and there placed us among the
+Knights' stalls (and pretty the observation, that no man, but a woman may
+sit in a Knight's place, where any brass-plates are set); and hither come
+cushions to us, and a young singing-boy to bring us a copy of the anthem
+to be sung.  And here, for our sakes, had this anthem and the great
+service sung extraordinary, only to entertain us.  It is a noble place
+indeed, and a good Quire of voices. Great bowing by all the people, the
+poor Knights particularly, to the Alter.  After prayers, we to see the
+plate of the chappell, and the robes of Knights, and a man to shew us the
+banners of the several Knights in being, which hang up over the stalls.
+And so to other discourse very pretty, about the Order.  Was shewn where
+the late [King] is buried, and King Henry the Eighth, and my Lady [Jane]
+Seymour.  This being done, to the King's house, and to observe the
+neatness and contrivance of the house and gates: it is the most romantique
+castle that is in the world. But, Lord!  the prospect that is in the
+balcone in the Queene's lodgings, and the terrace and walk, are strange
+things to consider, being the best in the world, sure.  Infinitely
+satisfied I and my wife with all this, she being in all points mightily
+pleased too, which added to my pleasure; and so giving a great deal of
+money to this and that man and woman, we to our taverne, and there dined,
+the Doctor with us; and so took coach and away to Eton, the Doctor with
+me.  Before we went to Chappell this morning, Kate Joyce, in a stage-coach
+going toward London, called to me. I went to her and saluted her, but
+could not get her to stay with us, having company.  At Eton I left my wife
+in the coach, and he and I to the College, and there find all mighty fine.
+The school good, and the custom pretty of boys cutting their names in the
+struts of the window when they go to Cambridge, by which many a one hath
+lived to see himself Provost and Fellow, that had his name in the window
+standing.  To the Hall, and there find the boys' verses, "De Peste;" it
+being their custom to make verses at Shrove-tide.  I read several, and
+very good ones they were, and better, I think, than ever I made when I was
+a boy, and in rolls as long and longer than the whole Hall, by much.  Here
+is a picture of Venice hung up given, and a monument made of Sir H.
+Wotton's giving it to the College.  Thence to the porter's, in the absence
+of the butler, and did drink of the College beer, which is very good; and
+went into the back fields to see the scholars play.  And so to the
+chappell, and there saw, among other things, Sir H. Wotton's stone with
+this Epitaph
+
+          Hic facet primus hujus sententiae Author:--
+          Disputandi pruritus fit ecclesiae scabies.
+
+But unfortunately the word "Author" was wrong writ, and now so basely
+altered that it disgraces the stone.  Thence took leave of the Doctor, and
+so took coach, and finely, but sleepy, away home, and got thither about
+eight at night, and after a little at my office, I to bed; and an houre
+after, was waked with my wife's quarrelling with Mercer, at which I was
+angry, and my wife and I fell out.  But with much ado to sleep again, I
+beginning to practise more temper, and to give her her way.
+
+27th.  Up, and after a harsh word or two my wife and I good friends, and
+so up and to the office, where all the morning.  At noon late to dinner,
+my wife gone out to Hales's about her picture, and, after dinner, I after
+her, and do mightily like her picture, and think it will be as good as my
+Lady Peters's.  So home mightily pleased, and there late at business and
+set down my three last days' journalls, and so to bed, overjoyed to thinke
+of the pleasure of the last Sunday and yesterday, and my ability to bear
+the charge of these pleasures, and with profit too, by obliging my Lord,
+and reconciling Sir George Carteret's family.
+
+28th (Ash Wednesday).  Up, and after doing a little business at my office
+I walked, it being a most curious dry and cold morning, to White Hall, and
+there I went into the Parke, and meeting Sir Ph. Warwicke took a turne
+with him in the Pell Mall, talking of the melancholy posture of affairs,
+where every body is snarling one at another, and all things put together
+looke ominously.  This new Act too putting us out of a power of raising
+money.  So that he fears as I do, but is fearfull of enlarging in that
+discourse of an ill condition in every thing, and the State and all. We
+appointed another time to meet to talke of the business of the Navy alone
+seriously, and so parted, and I to White Hall, and there we did our
+business with the Duke of Yorke, and so parted, and walked to Westminster
+Hall, where I staid talking with Mrs. Michell and Howlett long and her
+daughter, which is become a mighty pretty woman, and thence going out of
+the Hall was called to by Mrs. Martin, so I went to her and bought two
+bands, and so parted, and by and by met at her chamber, and there did what
+I would, and so away home and there find Mrs. Knipp, and we dined
+together, she the pleasantest company in the world.  After dinner I did
+give my wife money to lay out on Knipp, 20s., and I abroad to White Hall
+to visit Colonell Norwood, and then Sir G. Carteret, with whom I have
+brought myself right again, and he very open to me; is very melancholy,
+and matters, I fear, go down with him, but he seems most afeard of a
+general catastrophe to the whole kingdom, and thinks, as I fear, that all
+things will come to nothing.  Thence to the Palace Yard, to the Swan, and
+there staid till it was dark, and then to Mrs. Lane's, and there lent her
+L5 upon L4 01s. in gold.  And then did what I would with her, and I
+perceive she is come to be very bad, and offers any thing, that it is
+dangerous to have to do with her, nor will I see [her] any more a good
+while.  Thence by coach home and to the office, where a while, and then
+betimes to bed by ten o'clock, sooner than I have done many a day.  And
+thus ends this month, with my mind full of resolution to apply myself
+better from this time forward to my business than I have done these six or
+eight days, visibly to my prejudice both in quiett of mind and setting
+backward of my business, that I cannot give a good account of it as I
+ought to do.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

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

+
+Section 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.
