+
+November 1st (Lord's day).  Up, and with W. Hewer at my chamber all this
+morning, going further in my great business for the Duke of York, and so
+at noon to dinner, and then W. Hewer to write fair what he had writ, and
+my wife to read to me all the afternoon, till anon Mr. Gibson come, and he
+and I to perfect it to my full mind, and so to supper and to bed, my mind
+yet at disquiet that I cannot be informed how poor Deb. stands with her
+mistress, but I fear she will put her away, and the truth is, though it be
+much against my mind and to my trouble, yet I think that it will be fit
+that she should be gone, for my wife's peace and mine, for she cannot but
+be offended at the sight of her, my wife having conceived this jealousy of
+me with reason, and therefore for that, and other reasons of expense, it
+will be best for me to let her go, but I shall love and pity her.  This
+noon Mr. Povy sent his coach for my wife and I to see, which we like
+mightily, and will endeavour to have him get us just such another.
+
+2nd.  Up, and a cold morning, by water through bridge without a cloak, and
+there to Mr. Wren at his chamber at White Hall, the first time of his
+coming thither this year, the Duchess coming thither tonight, and there he
+and I did read over my paper that I have with so much labour drawn up
+about the several answers of the officers of this Office to the Duke of
+York's reflections, and did debate a little what advice to give the Duke
+of York when he comes to town upon it.  Here come in Lord Anglesy, and I
+perceive he makes nothing of this order for his suspension, resolving to
+contend and to bring it to the Council on Wednesday when the King is come
+to town to-morrow, and Mr. Wren do join with him mightily in it, and do
+look upon the Duke of York as concerned more in it than he.  So to visit
+Creed at his chamber, but his wife not come thither yet, nor do he tell me
+where she is, though she be in town, at Stepney, at Atkins's.  So to Mr.
+Povy's to talk about a coach, but there I find my Lord Sandwich, and
+Peterborough, and Hinchingbroke, Charles Harbord, and Sidney Montagu; and
+there I was stopped, and dined mighty nobly at a good table, with one
+little dish at a time upon it, but mighty merry.  I was glad to see it:
+but sorry, methought, to see my Lord have so little reason to be merry,
+and yet glad, for his sake, to have him cheerful.  After dinner up, and
+looked up and down the house, and so to the cellar; and thence I slipt
+away, without taking leave, and so to a few places about business, and
+among others to my bookseller's in Duck Lane, and so home, where the house
+still full of dirt by painters and others, and will not be clean a good
+while.  So to read and talk with my wife till by and by called to the
+office about Sir W. Warren's business, where we met a little, and then
+home to supper and to bed.  This day I went, by Mr. Povy's direction, to a
+coachmaker near him, for a coach just like his, but it was sold this very
+morning.
+
+3rd.  Up, and all the morning at the Office.  At noon to dinner, and then
+to the Office, and there busy till 12 at night, without much pain to my
+eyes, but I did not use them to read or write, and so did hold out very
+well.  So home, and there to supper, and I observed my wife to eye my eyes
+whether I did ever look upon Deb., which I could not but do now and then
+(and to my grief did see the poor wretch look on me and see me look on
+her, and then let drop a tear or two, which do make my heart relent at
+this minute that I am writing this with great trouble of mind, for she is
+indeed my sacrifice, poor girle); and my wife did tell me in bed by the by
+of my looking on other people, and that the only way is to put things out
+of sight, and this I know she means by Deb., for she tells me that her
+Aunt was here on Monday, and she did tell her of her desire of parting
+with Deb., but in such kind terms on both sides that my wife is mightily
+taken with her.  I see it will be, and it is but necessary, and therefore,
+though it cannot but grieve me, yet I must bring my mind to give way to
+it.  We had a great deal of do this day at the Office about
+Clutterbucke,--[See note to February 4th, 1663-64]--I declaring my dissent
+against the whole Board's proceedings, and I believe I shall go near to
+shew W. Pen a very knave in it, whatever I find my Lord Brouncker.
+
+4th.  Up, and by coach to White Hall; and there I find the King and Duke
+of York come the last night, and every body's mouth full of my Lord
+Anglesey's suspension being sealed; which it was, it seems, yesterday; so
+that he is prevented in his remedy at the Council; and, it seems, the two
+new Treasurers did kiss the King's hand this morning, brought in by my
+Lord Arlington.  They walked up and down together the Court this day, and
+several people joyed them; but I avoided it, that I might not be seen to
+look either way.  This day also I hear that my Lord Ormond is to be
+declared in Council no more Deputy Governor of Ireland, his commission
+being expired: and the King is prevailed with to take it out of his hands;
+which people do mightily admire, saying that he is the greatest subject of
+any prince in Christendome, and hath more acres of land than any, and hath
+done more for his Prince than ever any yet did.  But all will not do; he
+must down, it seems, the Duke of Buckingham carrying all before him.  But
+that, that troubles me most is, that they begin to talk that the Duke of
+York's regiment is ordered to be disbanded; and more, that undoubtedly his
+Admiralty will follow: which do shake me mightily, and I fear will have
+ill consequences in the nation, for these counsels are very mad.  The Duke
+of York do, by all men's report, carry himself wonderfull submissive to
+the King, in the most humble manner in the world; but yet, it seems,
+nothing must be spared that tends to, the keeping out of the Chancellor;
+and that is the reason of all this.  The great discourse now is, that the
+Parliament shall be dissolved and another called, which shall give the
+King the Deane and Chapter lands; and that will put him out of debt.  And
+it is said that Buckingham do knownly meet daily with Wildman and other
+Commonwealth-men; and that when he is with them, he makes the King believe
+that he is with his wenches; and something looks like the Parliament's
+being dissolved, by Harry Brouncker's being now come back, and appears
+this day the first day at White Hall; but hath not been yet with the King,
+but is secure that he shall be well received, I hear.  God bless us, when
+such men as he shall be restored!  But that, that pleases me most is, that
+several do tell me that Pen is to be removed; and others, that he hath
+resigned his place; and particularly Spragg tells me for certain that he
+hath resigned it, and is become a partner with Gawden in the Victualling:
+in which I think he hath done a very cunning thing; but I am sure I am
+glad of it; and it will be well for the King to have him out of this
+Office.  Thence by coach, doing several errands, home and there to dinner,
+and then to the Office, where all the afternoon till late at night, and so
+home.  Deb. hath been abroad to-day with her friends, poor girle, I
+believe toward the getting of a place.  This day a boy is sent me out of
+the country from Impington by my cozen Roger Pepys' getting, whom I
+visited this morning at his chamber in the Strand and carried him to
+Westminster Hall, where I took a turn or two with him and Sir John Talbot,
+who talks mighty high for my Lord of Ormond: and I perceive this family of
+the Talbots hath been raised by my Lord.  When I come home to-night I find
+Deb. not come home, and do doubt whether she be not quite gone or no, but
+my wife is silent to me in it, and I to her, but fell to other discourse,
+and indeed am well satisfied that my house will never be at peace between
+my wife and I unless I let her go, though it grieves me to the heart.  My
+wife and I spent much time this evening talking of our being put out of
+the Office, and my going to live at Deptford at her brother's, till I can
+clear my accounts, and rid my hands of the town, which will take me a year
+or more, and I do think it will be best for me to do so, in order to our
+living cheap, and out of sight.
+
+5th.  Up, and Willet come home in the morning, and, God forgive me! I
+could not conceal my content thereat by smiling, and my wife observed it,
+but I said nothing, nor she, but away to the office.  Presently up by
+water to White Hall, and there all of us to wait on the Duke of York,
+which we did, having little to do, and then I up and down the house, till
+by and by the Duke of York, who had bid me stay, did come to his closet
+again, and there did call in me and Mr. Wren; and there my paper, that I
+have lately taken pains to draw up, was read, and the Duke of York pleased
+therewith; and we did all along conclude upon answers to my mind for the
+Board, and that that, if put in execution, will do the King's business.
+But I do now more and more perceive the Duke of York's trouble, and that
+he do lie under great weight of mind from the Duke of Buckingham's
+carrying things against him; and particularly when I advised that he would
+use his interest that a seaman might come into the room of W. Pen, who is
+now declared to be gone from us to that of the Victualling, and did shew
+how the Office would now be left without one seaman in it, but the
+Surveyour and the Controller, who is so old as to be able to do nothing,
+he told me plainly that I knew his mind well enough as to seamen, but that
+it must be as others will.  And Wren did tell it me as a secret, that when
+the Duke of York did first tell the King about Sir W. Pen's leaving of the
+place, and that when the Duke of York did move the King that either
+Captain Cox or Sir Jer. Smith might succeed him, the King did tell him
+that that was a matter fit to be considered of, and would not agree to
+either presently; and so the Duke of York could not prevail for either,
+nor knows who it shall be.  The Duke of York did tell me himself, that if
+he had not carried it privately when first he mentioned Pen's leaving his
+place to the King, it had not been done; for the Duke of Buckingham and
+those of his party do cry out upon it, as a strange thing to trust such a
+thing into the hands of one that stands accused in Parliament: and that
+they have so far prevailed upon the King that he would not have him named
+in Council, but only take his name to the Board; but I think he said that
+only D. Gawden's name shall go in the patent; at least, at the time when
+Sir Richard Browne asked the King the names of D. Gawden's security, the
+King told him it was not yet necessary for him to declare them.  And by
+and by, when the Duke of York and we had done, and Wren brought into the
+closet Captain Cox and James Temple About business of the Guiney Company,
+and talking something of the Duke of Buckingham's concernment therein, and
+says the Duke of York, "I will give the Devil his due, as they say the
+Duke of Buckingham hath paid in his money to the Company," or something of
+that kind, wherein he would do right to him.  The Duke of York told me how
+these people do begin to cast dirt upon the business that passed the
+Council lately, touching Supernumeraries, as passed by virtue of his
+authority there, there being not liberty for any man to withstand what the
+Duke of York advises there; which, he told me, they bring only as an
+argument to insinuate the putting of the Admiralty into Commission, which
+by all men's discourse is now designed, and I perceive the same by him.
+This being done, and going from him, I up and down the house to hear news:
+and there every body's mouth full of changes; and, among others, the Duke
+of York's regiment of Guards, that was raised during the late war at sea,
+is to be disbanded: and also, that this day the King do intend to declare
+that the Duke of Ormond is no more Deputy of Ireland, but that he will put
+it into Commission.  This day our new Treasurers did kiss the King's hand,
+who complimented them, as they say, very highly, that he had for a long
+time been abused in his Treasurer, and that he was now safe in their
+hands.  I saw them walk up and down the Court together all this morning;
+the first time I ever saw Osborne, who is a comely gentleman.  This day I
+was told that my Lord Anglesey did deliver a petition on Wednesday in
+Council to the King, laying open, that whereas he had heard that his
+Majesty had made such a disposal of his place, which he had formerly
+granted him for life upon a valuable consideration, and that, without any
+thing laid to his charge, and during a Parliament's sessions, he prayed
+that his Majesty would be pleased to let his case be heard before the
+Council and the judges of the land, who were his proper counsel in all
+matters of right: to which, I am told, the King, after my Lord's being
+withdrawn, concluded upon his giving him an answer some few days hence;
+and so he was called in, and told so, and so it ended. Having heard all
+this I took coach and to Mr. Povy's, where I hear he is gone to the Swedes
+Resident in Covent Garden, where he is to dine.  I went thither, but he is
+not come yet, so I to White Hall to look for him, and up and down walking
+there I met with Sir Robert Holmes, who asking news I told him of Sir W.
+Pen's going from us, who ketched at it so as that my heart misgives me
+that he will have a mind to it, which made me heartily sorry for my words,
+but he invited me and would have me go to dine with him at the
+Treasurer's, Sir Thomas Clifford, where I did go and eat some oysters;
+which while we were at, in comes my Lord Keeper and much company; and so I
+thought it best to withdraw.  And so away, and to the Swedes Agent's, and
+there met Mr. Povy; where the Agent would have me stay and dine, there
+being only them, and Joseph Williamson, and Sir Thomas Clayton; but what
+he is I know not.  Here much extraordinary noble discourse of foreign
+princes, and particularly the greatness of the King of France, and of his
+being fallen into the right way of making the kingdom great, which [none]
+of his ancestors ever did before.  I was mightily pleased with this
+company and their discourse, so as to have been seldom so much in all my
+life, and so after dinner up into his upper room, and there did see a
+piece of perspective, but much inferior to Mr. Povy's.  Thence with Mr.
+Povy spent all the afternoon going up and down among the coachmakers in
+Cow Lane, and did see several, and at last did pitch upon a little
+chariott, whose body was framed, but not covered, at the widow's, that
+made Mr. Lowther's fine coach; and we are mightily pleased with it, it
+being light, and will be very genteel and sober: to be covered with
+leather, and yet will hold four.  Being much satisfied with this, I
+carried him to White Hall; and so by coach home, where give my wife a good
+account of my day's work, and so to the office, and there late, and so to
+bed.
+
+6th.  Up, and presently my wife up with me, which she professedly now do
+every day to dress me, that I may not see Willet, and do eye me, whether I
+cast my eye upon her, or no; and do keep me from going into the room where
+she is among the upholsters at work in our blue chamber.  So abroad to
+White Hall by water, and so on for all this day as I have by mistake set
+down in the fifth day after this mark.
+
+     [In the margin here is the following: "Look back one leaf
+     for my mistake."]
+
+In the room of which I should have said that I was at the office all the
+morning, and so to dinner, my wife with me, but so as I durst not look
+upon the girle, though, God knows, notwithstanding all my protestations I
+could not keep my mind from desiring it.  After dinner to the office
+again, and there did some business, and then by coach to see Roger Pepys
+at his lodgings, next door to Arundell House, a barber's; and there I did
+see a book, which my Lord Sandwich hath promised one to me of, "A
+Description of the Escuriall in Spain;" which I have a great desire to
+have, though I took it for a finer book when he promised it me.  With him
+to see my cozen Turner and The., and there sat and talked, they being
+newly come out of the country; and here pretty merry, and with The. to
+shew her a coach at Mr. Povy's man's, she being in want of one, and so
+back again with her, and then home by coach, with my mind troubled and
+finding no content, my wife being still troubled, nor can be at peace
+while the girle is there, which I am troubled at on the other side. We
+past the evening together, and then to bed and slept ill, she being
+troubled and troubling me in the night with talk and complaints upon the
+old business.  This is the day's work of the 5th, though it stands under
+the 6th, my mind being now so troubled that it is no wonder that I fall
+into this mistake more than ever I did in my life before.
+
+7th.  Up, and at the office all the morning, and so to it again after
+dinner, and there busy late, choosing to employ myself rather than go home
+to trouble with my wife, whom, however, I am forced to comply with, and
+indeed I do pity her as having cause enough for her grief.  So to bed, and
+there slept ill because of my wife.  This afternoon I did go out towards
+Sir D. Gawden's, thinking to have bespoke a place for my coach and horses,
+when I have them, at the Victualling Office; but find the way so bad and
+long that I returned, and looked up and down for places elsewhere, in an
+inne, which I hope to get with more convenience than there.
+
+8th (Lord's day).  Up, and at my chamber all the morning, setting papers
+to rights, with my boy; and so to dinner at noon.  The girle with us, but
+my wife troubled thereat to see her, and do tell me so, which troubles me,
+for I love the girle.  At my chamber again to work all the afternoon till
+night, when Pelling comes, who wonders to find my wife so dull and
+melancholy, but God knows she hath too much cause.  However, as pleasant
+as we can, we supped together, and so made the boy read to me, the poor
+girle not appearing at supper, but hid herself in her chamber.  So that I
+could wish in that respect that she was out of the house, for our peace is
+broke to all of us while she is here, and so to bed, where my wife mighty
+unquiet all night, so as my bed is become burdensome to me.
+
+9th.  Up, and I did by a little note which I flung to Deb. advise her that
+I did continue to deny that ever I kissed her, and so she might govern
+herself.  The truth is that I did adventure upon God's pardoning me this
+lie, knowing how heavy a thing it would be for me to the ruin of the poor
+girle, and next knowing that if my wife should know all it were impossible
+ever for her to be at peace with me again, and so our whole lives would be
+uncomfortable.  The girl read, and as I bid her returned me the note,
+flinging it to me in passing by.  And so I abroad by [coach] to White
+Hall, and there to the Duke of York to wait on him, who told me that Sir
+W. Pen had been with him this morning, to ask whether it would be fit for
+him to sit at the Office now, because of his resolution to be gone, and to
+become concerned in the Victualling.  The Duke of York answered, "Yes,
+till his contract was signed:"  Thence I to Lord Sandwich's, and there to
+see him; but was made to stay so long, as his best friends are, and when I
+come to him so little pleasure, his head being full of his own business, I
+think, that I have no pleasure [to] go to him.  Thence to White Hall with
+him, to the Committee of Tangier; a day appointed for him to give an
+account of Tangier, and what he did, and found there, which, though he had
+admirable matter for it, and his doings there were good, and would have
+afforded a noble account, yet he did it with a mind so low and mean, and
+delivered in so poor a manner, that it appeared nothing at all, nor any
+body seemed to value it; whereas, he might have shewn himself to have
+merited extraordinary thanks, and been held to have done a very great
+service: whereas now, all that cost the King hath been at for his journey
+through Spain thither, seems to be almost lost.  After we were up, Creed
+and I walked together, and did talk a good while of the weak report my
+Lord made, and were troubled for it; I fearing that either his mind and
+judgment are depressed, or that he do it out of his great neglect, and so
+my fear that he do all the rest of his affairs accordingly.  So I staid
+about the Court a little while, and then to look for a dinner, and had it
+at Hercules-Pillars, very late, all alone, costing me 10d.  And so to the
+Excise Office, thinking to meet Sir Stephen Fox and the Cofferer, but the
+former was gone, and the latter I met going out, but nothing done, and so
+I to my bookseller's, and also to Crow's, and there saw a piece of my bed,
+and I find it will please us mightily.  So home, and there find my wife
+troubled, and I sat with her talking, and so to bed, and there very
+unquiet all night.
+
+10th.  Up, and my wife still every day as ill as she is all night, will
+rise to see me out doors, telling me plainly that she dares not let me see
+the girle, and so I out to the office, where all the morning, and so home
+to dinner, where I found my wife mightily troubled again, more than ever,
+and she tells me that it is from her examining the girle and getting a
+confession now from her of all .  .  .  . which do mightily trouble me, as
+not being able to foresee the consequences of it, as to our future peace
+together.  So my wife would not go down to dinner, but I would dine in her
+chamber with her, and there after mollifying her as much as I could we
+were pretty quiet and eat, and by and by comes Mr. Hollier, and dines
+there by himself after we had dined, and he being gone, we to talk again,
+and she to be troubled, reproaching me with my unkindness and perjury, I
+having denied my ever kissing her.  As also with all her old kindnesses to
+me, and my ill-using of her from the beginning, and the many temptations
+she hath refused out of faithfulness to me, whereof several she was
+particular in, and especially from my Lord Sandwich, by the sollicitation
+of Captain Ferrers, and then afterward the courtship of my Lord
+Hinchingbrooke, even to the trouble of his lady. All which I did
+acknowledge and was troubled for, and wept, and at last pretty good
+friends again, and so I to my office, and there late, and so home to
+supper with her, and so to bed, where after half-an-hour's slumber she
+wakes me and cries out that she should never sleep more, and so kept
+raving till past midnight, that made me cry and weep heartily all the
+while for her, and troubled for what she reproached me with as before, and
+at last with new vows, and particularly that I would myself bid the girle
+be gone, and shew my dislike to her, which I will endeavour to perform,
+but with much trouble, and so this appeasing her, we to sleep as well as
+we could till morning.
+
+11th.  Up, and my wife with me as before, and so to the Office, where, by
+a speciall desire, the new Treasurers come, and there did shew their
+Patent, and the Great Seal for the suspension of my Lord Anglesey: and
+here did sit and discourse of the business of the Office: and brought Mr.
+Hutchinson with them, who, I hear, is to be their Paymaster, in the room
+of Mr. Waith.  For it seems they do turn out every servant that belongs to
+the present Treasurer: and so for Fenn, do bring in Mr. Littleton, Sir
+Thomas's brother, and oust all the rest.  But Mr. Hutchinson do already
+see that his work now will be another kind of thing than before, as to the
+trouble of it.  They gone, and, indeed, they appear, both of them, very
+intelligent men, I home to dinner, and there with my people dined, and so
+to my wife, who would not dine with [me] that she might not have the girle
+come in sight, and there sat and talked a while with her and pretty quiet,
+I giving no occasion of offence, and so to the office [and then by coach
+to my cozen Roger Pepys, who did, at my last being with him this day
+se'nnight, move me as to the supplying him with L500 this term, and L500
+the next, for two years, upon a mortgage, he having that sum to pay, a
+debt left him by his father, which I did agree to, trusting to his honesty
+and ability, and am resolved to do it for him, that I may not have all I
+have lie in the King's hands.  Having promised him this I returned home
+again, where to the office], and there having done, I home and to supper
+and to bed, where, after lying a little while, my wife starts up, and with
+expressions of affright and madness, as one frantick, would rise, and I
+would not let her, but burst out in tears myself, and so continued almost
+half the night, the moon shining so that it was light, and after much
+sorrow and reproaches and little ravings (though I am apt to think they
+were counterfeit from her), and my promise again to discharge the girle
+myself, all was quiet again, and so to sleep.
+
+12th.  Up, and she with me as heretofore, and so I to the Office, where
+all the morning, and at noon to dinner, and Mr. Wayth, who, being at my
+office about business, I took him with me to talk and understand his
+matters, who is in mighty trouble from the Committee of Accounts about his
+contracting with this Office for sayle-cloth, but no hurt can be laid at
+his door in it, but upon us for doing it, if any, though we did it by the
+Duke of York's approval, and by him I understand that the new Treasurers
+do intend to bring in all new Instruments, and so having dined we parted,
+and I to my wife and to sit with her a little, and then called her and
+Willet to my chamber, and there did, with tears in my eyes, which I could
+not help, discharge her and advise her to be gone as soon as she could,
+and never to see me, or let me see her more while she was in the house,
+which she took with tears too, but I believe understands me to be her
+friend, and I am apt to believe by what my wife hath of late told me is a
+cunning girle, if not a slut.  Thence, parting kindly with my wife, I away
+by coach to my cozen Roger, according as by mistake (which the trouble of
+my mind for some days has occasioned, in this and another case a day or
+two before) is set down in yesterday's notes, and so back again, and with
+Mr. Gibson late at my chamber making an end of my draught of a letter for
+the Duke of York, in answer to the answers of this Office, which I have
+now done to my mind, so as, if the Duke likes it, will, I think, put an
+end to a great deal of the faults of this Office, as well as my trouble
+for them.  So to bed, and did lie now a little better than formerly, but
+with little, and yet with some trouble.
+
+13th.  Up, and with Sir W. Pen by coach to White Hall, where to the Duke
+of York, and there did our usual business; and thence I to the
+Commissioners of the Treasury, where I staid, and heard an excellent case
+argued between my Lord Gerard and the Town of Newcastle, about a piece of
+ground which that Lord hath got a grant of, under the Exchequer Seal,
+which they were endeavouring to get of the King under the Great Seal. I
+liked mightily the Counsel for the town, Shaftow, their Recorder, and Mr.
+Offly.  But I was troubled, and so were the Lords, to hear my Lord fly out
+against their great pretence of merit from the King, for their sufferings
+and loyalty; telling them that they might thank him for that repute which
+they have for their loyalty, for that it was he that forced them to be so,
+against their wills, when he was there: and, moreover, did offer a paper
+to the Lords to read from the Town, sent in 1648; but the Lords would not
+read it; but I believe it was something about bringing the King to trial,
+or some such thing, in that year.  Thence I to the Three Tuns Tavern, by
+Charing Cross, and there dined with W. Pen, Sir J. Minnes, and
+Commissioner Middleton; and as merry as my mind could be, that hath so
+much trouble upon it at home.  And thence to White Hall, and there staid
+in Mr. Wren's chamber with him, reading over my draught of a letter, which
+Mr. Gibson then attended me with; and there he did like all, but doubted
+whether it would be necessary for the Duke to write in so sharp a style to
+the Office, as I had drawn it in; which I yield to him, to consider the
+present posture of the times and the Duke of York and whether it were not
+better to err on that hand than the other.  He told me that he did not
+think it was necessary for the Duke of York to do so, and that it would
+not suit so well with his nature nor greatness; which last, perhaps, is
+true, but then do too truly shew the effects of having Princes in places,
+where order and discipline should be.  I left it to him to do as the Duke
+of York pleases; and so fell to other talk, and with great freedom, of
+public things; and he told me, upon my several inquiries to that purpose,
+that he did believe it was not yet resolved whether the Parliament should
+ever meet more or no, the three great rulers of things now standing
+thus:--The Duke of Buckingham is absolutely against their meeting, as
+moved thereto by his people that he advises with, the people of the late
+times, who do never expect to have any thing done by this Parliament for
+their religion, and who do propose that, by the sale of the Church-lands,
+they shall be able to put the King out of debt: my Lord Keeper is utterly
+against putting away this and choosing another Parliament, lest they prove
+worse than this, and will make all the King's friends, and the King
+himself, in a desperate condition: my Lord Arlington know not which is
+best for him, being to seek whether this or the next will use him worst.
+He tells me that he believes that it is intended to call this Parliament,
+and try them with a sum of money; and, if they do not like it, then to
+send them going, and call another, who will, at the ruin of the Church
+perhaps, please the King with what he will for a time.  And he tells me,
+therefore, that he do believe that this policy will be endeavoured by the
+Church and their friends--to seem to promise the King money, when it shall
+be propounded, but make the King and these great men buy it dear, before
+they have it. He tells me that he is really persuaded that the design of
+the Duke of Buckingham is, by bringing the state into such a condition as,
+if the King do die without issue, it shall, upon his death, break into
+pieces again; and so put by the Duke of York, who they have disobliged,
+they know, to that degree, as to despair of his pardon.  He tells me that
+there is no way to rule the King but by brisknesse, which the Duke of
+Buckingham hath above all men; and that the Duke of York having it not,
+his best way is what he practices, that is to say, a good temper, which
+will support him till the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Arlington fall out,
+which cannot be long first, the former knowing that the latter did, in the
+time of the Chancellor, endeavour with the Chancellor to hang him at that
+time, when he was proclaimed against.  And here, by the by, he told me
+that the Duke of Buckingham did, by his friends, treat with my Lord
+Chancellor, by the mediation of Matt. Wren and Matt. Clifford, to fall in
+with my Lord Chancellor; which, he tells me, he did advise my Lord
+Chancellor to accept of, as that, that with his own interest and the Duke
+of York's, would undoubtedly have assured all to him and his family; but
+that my Lord Chancellor was a man not to be advised, thinking himself too
+high to be counselled: and so all is come to nothing; for by that means
+the Duke of Buckingham became desperate, and was forced to fall in with
+Arlington, to his [the Chancellor's] ruin.  Thence I home, and there to
+talk, with great pleasure all the evening, with my wife, who tells me that
+Deb, has been abroad to-day, and is come home and says she has got a place
+to go to, so as she will be gone tomorrow morning.  This troubled me, and
+the truth is, I have a good mind to have the maidenhead of this girl,
+which I should not doubt to have if je could get time para be con her.
+But she will be gone and I not know whither.  Before we went to bed my
+wife told me she would not have me to see her or give her her wages, and
+so I did give my wife L10 for her year and half a quarter's wages, which
+she went into her chamber and paid her, and so to bed, and there, blessed
+be God! we did sleep well and with peace, which I had not done in now
+almost twenty nights together.  This afternoon I went to my coachmaker and
+Crow's, and there saw things go on to my great content. This morning, at
+the Treasury-chamber, I did meet Jack Fenn, and there he did shew me my
+Lord Anglesey's petition and the King's answer: the former good and stout,
+as I before did hear it: but the latter short and weak, saying that he was
+not, by what the King had done, hindered from taking the benefit of his
+laws, and that the reason he had to suspect his mismanagement of his money
+in Ireland, did make him think it unfit to trust him with his Treasury in
+England, till he was satisfied in the former.
+
+14th.  Up, and had a mighty mind to have seen or given her a little money,
+to which purpose I wrapt up 40s. in paper, thinking to have given her a
+little money, but my wife rose presently, and would not let me be out of
+her sight, and went down before me into the kitchen, and come up and told
+me that she was in the kitchen, and therefore would have me go round the
+other way; which she repeating and I vexed at it, answered her a little
+angrily, upon which she instantly flew out into a rage, calling me dog and
+rogue, and that I had a rotten heart; all which, knowing that I deserved
+it, I bore with, and word being brought presently up that she was gone
+away by coach with her things, my wife was friends, and so all quiet, and
+I to the Office, with my heart sad, and find that I cannot forget the
+girl, and vexed I know not where to look for her.  And more troubled to
+see how my wife is by this means likely for ever to have her hand over me,
+that I shall for ever be a slave to her--that is to say, only in matters
+of pleasure, but in other things she will make [it] her business, I know,
+to please me and to keep me right to her, which I will labour to be
+indeed, for she deserves it of me, though it will be I fear a little time
+before I shall be able to wear Deb, out of my mind.  At the Office all the
+morning, and merry at noon, at dinner; and after dinner to the Office,
+where all the afternoon, doing much business, late.  My mind being free of
+all troubles, I thank God, but only for my thoughts of this girl, which
+hang after her.  And so at night home to supper, and then did sleep with
+great content with my wife.  I must here remember that I have lain with my
+moher as a husband more times since this falling out than in I believe
+twelve months before.  And with more pleasure to her than I think in all
+the time of our marriage before.
+
+15th (Lord's day).  Up, and after long lying with pleasure talking with my
+wife, and then up to look up and down our house, which will when our
+upholster hath done be mighty fine, and so to my chamber, and there did do
+several things among my papers, and so to the office to write down my
+journal for 6 or 7 days, my mind having been so troubled as never to get
+the time to do it before, as may appear a little by the mistakes I have
+made in this book within these few days.  At noon comes Mr. Shepley to
+dine with me and W. Howe, and there dined and pretty merry, and so after
+dinner W. Howe to tell me what hath happened between him and the
+Commissioners of late, who are hot again, more than ever, about my Lord
+Sandwich's business of prizes, which I am troubled for, and the more
+because of the great security and neglect with which, I think, my Lord do
+look upon this matter, that may yet, for aught I know, undo him.  They
+gone, and Balty being come from the Downs, not very well, is come this day
+to see us, I to talk with him, and with some pleasure, hoping that he will
+make a good man.  I in the evening to my Office again, to make an end of
+my journall, and so home to my chamber with W. Hewer to settle some
+papers, and so to supper and to bed, with my mind pretty quiet, and less
+troubled about Deb. than I was, though yet I am troubled, I must confess,
+and would be glad to find her out, though I fear it would be my ruin.
+This evening there come to sit with us Mr. Pelling, who wondered to see my
+wife and I so dumpish, but yet it went off only as my wife's not being
+well, and, poor wretch, she hath no cause to be well, God knows.
+
+16th.  Up, and by water to White Hall, and there at the robe chamber at a
+Committee for Tangier, where some of us--my Lord Sandwich, Sir W.
+Coventry, and myself, with another or two--met to debate the business of
+the Mole, and there drew up reasons for the King's taking of it into his
+own hands, and managing of it upon accounts with Sir H. Cholmley.  This
+being done I away to Holborne, about Whetstone's Park, where I never was
+in my life before, where I understand by my wife's discourse that Deb. is
+gone, which do trouble me mightily that the poor girle should be in a
+desperate condition forced to go thereabouts, and there not hearing of any
+such man as Allbon, with whom my wife said she now was, I to the Strand,
+and there by sending Drumbleby's boy, my flageolet maker, to Eagle Court,
+where my wife also by discourse lately let fall that he did lately live, I
+find that this Dr. Allbon is a kind of poor broken fellow that dare not
+shew his head nor be known where he is gone, but to Lincoln's Inn Fields I
+went to Mr. Povy's, but missed him, and so hearing only that this Allbon
+is gone to Fleet Street, I did only call at Martin's, my bookseller's, and
+there bought "Cassandra," and some other French books for my wife's
+closet, and so home, having eat nothing but two pennyworths of oysters,
+opened for me by a woman in the Strand, while the boy went to and again to
+inform me about this man, and therefore home and to dinner, and so all the
+afternoon at the office, and there late busy, and so home to supper, and
+pretty pleasant with my wife to bed, rested pretty well.
+
+17th.  Up, and to the Office all the morning, where the new Treasurers
+come, their second time, and before they sat down, did discourse with the
+Board, and particularly my Lord Brouncker, about their place, which they
+challenge, as having been heretofore due, and given to their predecessor;
+which, at last, my Lord did own hath been given him only out of courtesy
+to his quality, and that he did not take it as a right at the Board: so
+they, for the present, sat down, and did give him the place, but, I think,
+with an intent to have the Duke of York's directions about it. My wife and
+maids busy now, to make clean the house above stairs, the upholsters
+having done there, in her closet and the blue room, and they are mighty
+pretty.  At my office all the afternoon and at night busy, and so home to
+my wife, and pretty pleasant, and at mighty ease in my mind, being in
+hopes to find Deb., and without trouble or the knowledge of my wife.  So
+to supper at night and to bed.
+
+18th.  Lay long in bed talking with my wife, she being unwilling to have
+me go abroad, saying and declaring herself jealous of my going out for
+fear of my going to Deb., which I do deny, for which God forgive me, for I
+was no sooner out about noon but I did go by coach directly to Somerset
+House, and there enquired among the porters there for Dr. Allbun, and the
+first I spoke with told me he knew him, and that he was newly gone into
+Lincoln's Inn Fields, but whither he could not tell me, but that one of
+his fellows not then in the way did carry a chest of drawers thither with
+him, and that when he comes he would ask him.  This put me into some
+hopes, and I to White Hall, and thence to Mr. Povy's, but he at dinner,
+and therefore I away and walked up and down the Strand between the two
+turnstiles, hoping to see her out of a window, and then employed a porter,
+one Osberton, to find out this Doctor's lodgings thereabouts, who by
+appointment comes to me to Hercules pillars, where I dined alone, but
+tells me that he cannot find out any such, but will enquire further.
+Thence back to White Hall to the Treasury a while, and thence to the
+Strand, and towards night did meet with the porter that carried the chest
+of drawers with this Doctor, but he would not tell me where he lived,
+being his good master, he told me, but if I would have a message to him he
+would deliver it.  At last I told him my business was not with him, but a
+little gentlewoman, one Mrs. Willet, that is with him, and sent him to see
+how she did from her friend in London, and no other token.  He goes while
+I walk in Somerset House, walk there in the Court; at last he comes back
+and tells me she is well, and that I may see her if I will, but no more.
+So I could not be commanded by my reason, but I must go this very night,
+and so by coach, it being now dark, I to her, close by my tailor's, and
+she come into the coach to me, and je did baiser her . .  .  .  I did
+nevertheless give her the best council I could, to have a care of her
+honour, and to fear God, and suffer no man para avoir to do con her as je
+have done, which she promised.  Je did give her 20s. and directions para
+laisser sealed in paper at any time the name of the place of her being at
+Herringman's, my bookseller in the 'Change, by which I might go para her,
+and so bid her good night with much content to my mind, and resolution to
+look after her no more till I heard from her. And so home, and there told
+my wife a fair tale, God knows, how I spent the whole day, with which the
+poor wretch was satisfied, or at least seemed so, and so to supper and to
+bed, she having been mighty busy all day in getting of her house in order
+against to-morrow to hang up our new hangings and furnishing our best
+chamber.
+
+19th.  Up, and at the Office all the morning, with my heart full of joy to
+think in what a safe condition all my matters now stand between my wife
+and Deb, and me, and at noon running up stairs to see the upholsters, who
+are at work upon hanging my best room, and setting up my new bed, I find
+my wife sitting sad in the dining room; which enquiring into the reason
+of, she begun to call me all the false, rotten-hearted rogues in the
+world, letting me understand that I was with Deb. yesterday, which,
+thinking it impossible for her ever to understand, I did a while deny, but
+at last did, for the ease of my mind and hers, and for ever to discharge
+my heart of this wicked business, I did confess all, and above stairs in
+our bed chamber there I did endure the sorrow of her threats and vows and
+curses all the afternoon, and, what was worse, she swore by all that was
+good that she would slit the nose of this girle, and be gone herself this
+very night from me, and did there demand 3 or L400 of me to buy my peace,
+that she might be gone without making any noise, or else protested that
+she would make all the world know of it.  So with most perfect confusion
+of face and heart, and sorrow and shame, in the greatest agony in the
+world I did pass this afternoon, fearing that it will never have an end;
+but at last I did call for W. Hewer, who I was forced to make privy now to
+all, and the poor fellow did cry like a child, [and] obtained what I could
+not, that she would be pacified upon condition that I would give it under
+my hand never to see or speak with Deb, while I live, as I did before with
+Pierce and Knepp, and which I did also, God knows, promise for Deb. too,
+but I have the confidence to deny it to the perjury of myself.  So, before
+it was late, there was, beyond my hopes as well as desert, a durable
+peace; and so to supper, and pretty kind words, and to bed, and there je
+did hazer con eile to her content, and so with some rest spent the night
+in bed, being most absolutely resolved, if ever I can master this bout,
+never to give her occasion while I live of more trouble of this or any
+other kind, there being no curse in the world so great as this of the
+differences between myself and her, and therefore I do, by the grace of
+God, promise never to offend her more, and did this night begin to pray to
+God upon my knees alone in my chamber, which God knows I cannot yet do
+heartily; but I hope God will give me the grace more and more every day to
+fear Him, and to be true to my poor wife.  This night the upholsters did
+finish the hanging of my best chamber, but my sorrow and trouble is so
+great about this business, that it puts me out of all joy in looking upon
+it or minding how it was.
+
+20th.  This morning up, with mighty kind words between my poor wife and I;
+and so to White Hall by water, W. Hewer with me, who is to go with me
+every where, until my wife be in condition to go out along with me
+herself; for she do plainly declare that she dares not trust me out alone,
+and therefore made it a piece of our league that I should alway take
+somebody with me, or her herself, which I am mighty willing to, being, by
+the grace of God, resolved never to do her wrong more.  We landed at the
+Temple, and there I bid him call at my cozen Roger Pepys's lodgings, and I
+staid in the street for him, and so took water again at the Strand stairs;
+and so to White Hall, in my way I telling him plainly and truly my
+resolutions, if I can get over this evil, never to give new occasion for
+it.  He is, I think, so honest and true a servant to us both, and one that
+loves us, that I was not much troubled at his being privy to all this, but
+rejoiced in my heart that I had him to assist in the making us friends,
+which he did truly and heartily, and with good success, for I did get him
+to go to Deb. to tell her that I had told my wife all of my being with her
+the other night, that so if my wife should send she might not make the
+business worse by denying it.  While I was at White Hall with the Duke of
+York, doing our ordinary business with him, here being also the first time
+the new Treasurers.  W. Hewer did go to her and come back again, and so I
+took him into St. James's Park, and there he did tell me he had been with
+her, and found what I said about my manner of being with her true, and had
+given her advice as I desired. I did there enter into more talk about my
+wife and myself, and he did give me great assurance of several particular
+cases to which my wife had from time to time made him privy of her loyalty
+and truth to me after many and great temptations, and I believe them
+truly.  I did also discourse the unfitness of my leaving of my employment
+now in many respects to go into the country, as my wife desires, but that
+I would labour to fit myself for it, which he thoroughly understands, and
+do agree with me in it; and so, hoping to get over this trouble, we about
+our business to Westminster Hall to meet Roger Pepys, which I did, and did
+there discourse of the business of lending him L500 to answer some
+occasions of his, which I believe to be safe enough, and so took leave of
+him and away by coach home, calling on my coachmaker by the way, where I
+like my little coach mightily.  But when I come home, hoping for a further
+degree of peace and quiet, I find my wife upon her bed in a horrible rage
+afresh, calling me all the bitter names, and, rising, did fall to revile
+me in the bitterest manner in the world, and could not refrain to strike
+me and pull my hair, which I resolved to bear with, and had good reason to
+bear it.  So I by silence and weeping did prevail with her a little to be
+quiet, and she would not eat her dinner without me; but yet by and by into
+a raging fit she fell again, worse than before, that she would slit the
+girl's nose, and at last W. Hewer come in and come up, who did allay her
+fury, I flinging myself, in a sad desperate condition, upon the bed in the
+blue room, and there lay while they spoke together; and at last it come to
+this, that if I would call Deb. whore under my hand and write to her that
+I hated her, and would never see her more, she would believe me and trust
+in me, which I did agree to, only as to the name of whore I would have
+excused, and therefore wrote to her sparing that word, which my wife
+thereupon tore it, and would not be satisfied till, W. Hewer winking upon
+me, I did write so with the name of a whore as that I did fear she might
+too probably have been prevailed upon to have been a whore by her carriage
+to me, and therefore as such I did resolve never to see her more.  This
+pleased my wife, and she gives it W. Hewer to carry to her with a sharp
+message from her.  So from that minute my wife begun to be kind to me, and
+we to kiss and be friends, and so continued all the evening, and fell to
+talk of other matters, with great comfort, and after supper to bed.  This
+evening comes Mr. Billup to me, to read over Mr. Wren's alterations of my
+draught of a letter for the Duke of York to sign, to the Board; which I
+like mighty well, they being not considerable, only in mollifying some
+hard terms, which I had thought fit to put in.  From this to other
+discourse; and do find that the Duke of York and his master, Mr. Wren, do
+look upon this service of mine as a very seasonable service to the Duke of
+York, as that which he will have to shew to his enemies in his own
+justification, of his care of the King's business; and I am sure I am
+heartily glad of it, both for the King's sake and the Duke of York's, and
+my own also; for, if I continue, my work, by this means, will be the less,
+and my share in the blame also.  He being gone, I to my wife again, and so
+spent the evening with very great joy, and the night also with good sleep
+and rest, my wife only troubled in her rest, but less than usual, for
+which the God of Heaven be praised.  I did this night promise to my wife
+never to go to bed without calling upon God upon my knees by prayer, and I
+begun this night, and hope I shall never forget to do the like all my
+life; for I do find that it is much the best for my soul and body to live
+pleasing to God and my poor wife, and will ease me of much care as well as
+much expense.
+
+21st.  Up, with great joy to my wife and me, and to the office, where W.
+Hewer did most honestly bring me back the part of my letter to Deb.
+wherein I called her whore, assuring me that he did not shew it her, and
+that he did only give her to understand that wherein I did declare my
+desire never to see her, and did give her the best Christian counsel he
+could, which was mighty well done of him.  But by the grace of God, though
+I love the poor girl and wish her well, as having gone too far toward the
+undoing her, yet I will never enquire after or think of her more, my peace
+being certainly to do right to my wife.  At the Office all the morning;
+and after dinner abroad with W. Hewer to my Lord Ashly's, where my Lord
+Barkeley and Sir Thomas Ingram met upon Mr. Povy's account, where I was in
+great pain about that part of his account wherein I am concerned, above
+L150, I think; and Creed hath declared himself dissatisfied with it, so
+far as to desire to cut his "Examinatur" out of the paper, as the only
+condition in which he would be silent in it.  This Povy had the wit to
+yield to; and so when it come to be inquired into, I did avouch the truth
+of the account as to that particular, of my own knowledge, and so it went
+over as a thing good and just--as, indeed, in the bottom of it, it is;
+though in strictness, perhaps, it would not so well be understood.  This
+Committee rising, I, with my mind much satisfied herein, away by coach
+home, setting Creed into Southampton Buildings, and so home; and there
+ended my letters, and then home to my wife, where I find my house clean
+now, from top to bottom, so as I have not seen it many a day, and to the
+full satisfaction of my mind, that I am now at peace, as to my poor wife,
+as to the dirtiness of my house, and as to seeing an end, in a great
+measure, to my present great disbursements upon my house, and coach and
+horses.
+
+22nd (Lord's day).  My wife and I lay long, with mighty content; and so
+rose, and she spent the whole day making herself clean, after four or five
+weeks being in continued dirt; and I knocking up nails, and making little
+settlements in my house, till noon, and then eat a bit of meat in the
+kitchen, I all alone.  And so to the Office, to set down my journall, for
+some days leaving it imperfect, the matter being mighty grievous to me,
+and my mind, from the nature of it; and so in, to solace myself with my
+wife, whom I got to read to me, and so W. Hewer and the boy; and so, after
+supper, to bed.  This day my boy's livery is come home, the first I ever
+had, of greene, lined with red; and it likes me well enough.
+
+23rd.  Up, and called upon by W. Howe, who went, with W. Hewer with me, by
+water, to the Temple; his business was to have my advice about a place he
+is going to buy--the Clerk of the Patent's place, which I understand not,
+and so could say little to him, but fell to other talk, and setting him in
+at the Temple, we to White Hall, and there I to visit Lord Sandwich, who
+is now so reserved, or moped rather, I think, with his own business, that
+he bids welcome to no man, I think, to his satisfaction. However, I bear
+with it, being willing to give him as little trouble as I can, and to
+receive as little from him, wishing only that I had my money in my purse,
+that I have lent him; but, however, I shew no discontent at all.  So to
+White Hall, where a Committee of Tangier expected, but none met.  I met
+with Mr. Povy, who I discoursed with about publick business, who tells me
+that this discourse which I told him of, of the Duke of Monmouth being
+made Prince of Wales, hath nothing in it; though he thinks there are all
+the endeavours used in the world to overthrow the Duke of York.  He would
+not have me doubt of my safety in the Navy, which I am doubtful of from
+the reports of a general removal; but he will endeavour to inform me, what
+he can gather from my Lord Arlington.  That he do think that the Duke of
+Buckingham hath a mind rather to overthrow all the kingdom, and bring in a
+Commonwealth, wherein he may think to be General of their Army, or to make
+himself King, which, he believes, he may be led to, by some advice he hath
+had with conjurors, which he do affect. Thence with W. Hewer, who goes up
+and down with me like a jaylour, but yet with great love and to my great
+good liking, it being my desire above all things to please my wife
+therein.  I took up my wife and boy at Unthank's, and from there to
+Hercules Pillars, and there dined, and thence to our upholster's, about
+some things more to buy, and so to see our coach, and so to the
+looking-glass man's, by the New Exchange, and so to buy a picture for our
+blue chamber chimney, and so home; and there I made my boy to read to me
+most of the night, to get through the Life of the Archbishop of
+Canterbury.  At supper comes Mary Batelier, and with us all the evening,
+prettily talking, and very innocent company she is; and she gone, we with
+much content to bed, and to sleep, with mighty rest all night.
+
+24th.  Up, and at the Office all the morning, and at noon home to dinner,
+where Mr. Gentleman, the cook, and an old woman, his third or fourth wife,
+come and dined with us, to enquire about a ticket of his son's, that is
+dead; and after dinner, I with Mr. Hosier to my closet, to discourse of
+the business of balancing Storekeeper's accounts, which he hath taken
+great pains in reducing to a method, to my great satisfaction; and I shall
+be glad both for the King's sake and his, that the thing may be put in
+practice, and will do my part to promote it.  That done, he gone, I to the
+Office, where busy till night; and then with comfort to sit with my wife,
+and get her to read to me, and so to supper, and to bed, with my mind at
+mighty ease.
+
+25th.  Up, and by coach with W. Hewer to see W. Coventry; but he gone out,
+I to White Hall, and there waited on Lord Sandwich, which I have little
+encouragement to do, because of the difficulty of seeing him, and the
+little he hath to say to me when I do see him, or to any body else, but
+his own idle people about him, Sir Charles Harbord, &c.  Thence walked
+with him to White Hall, where to the Duke of York; and there the Duke, and
+Wren, and I, by appointment in his closet, to read over our letter to the
+Office, which he heard, and signed it, and it is to my mind, Mr. Wren
+having made it somewhat sweeter to the Board, and yet with all the advice
+fully, that I did draw it up with.  He [the Duke] said little more to us
+now, his head being full of other business; but I do see that he do
+continue to put a value upon my advice; and so Mr. Wren and I to his
+chamber, and there talked: and he seems to hope that these people, the
+Duke of Buckingham and Arlington, will run themselves off of their legs;
+they being forced to be always putting the King upon one idle thing or
+other, against the easiness of his nature, which he will never be able to
+bear, nor they to keep him to, and so will lose themselves. And, for
+instance of their little progress, he tells me that my Lord of Ormond is
+like yet to carry it, and to continue in his command in Ireland; at least,
+they cannot get the better of him yet.  But he tells me that the Keeper is
+wrought upon, as they say, to give his opinion for the dissolving of the
+Parliament, which, he thinks, will undo him in the eyes of the people.  He
+do not seem to own the hearing or fearing of any thing to be done in the
+Admiralty, to the lessening of the Duke of York, though he hears how the
+town talk's full of it.  Thence I by coach home, and there find my cozen
+Roger come to dine with me, and to seal his mortgage for the L500 I lend
+him; but he and I first walked to the 'Change, there to look for my uncle
+Wight, and get him to dinner with us. So home, buying a barrel of oysters
+at my old oyster-woman's, in Gracious Street, but over the way to where
+she kept her shop before.  So home, and there merry at dinner; and the
+money not being ready, I carried Roger Pepys to Holborn Conduit, and there
+left him going to Stradwick's, whom we avoided to see, because of our long
+absence, and my wife and I to the Duke of York's house, to see "The
+Duchesse of Malfy," a sorry play, and sat with little pleasure, for fear
+of my wife's seeing me look about, and so I was uneasy all the while,
+though I desire and resolve never to give her trouble of that kind more.
+So home, and there busy at the Office a while, and then home, where my
+wife to read to me, and so to supper, and to bed.  This evening, to my
+great content, I got Sir Richard Ford to give me leave to set my coach in
+his yard.
+
+26th.  Up, and at the Office all the morning, where I was to have
+delivered the Duke of York's letter of advice to the Board, in answer to
+our several answers to his great letter; but Lord Brouncker not being
+there, and doubtful to deliver it before the new Treasurers, I forbore it
+to next sitting.  So home at noon to dinner, where I find Mr. Pierce and
+his wife but I was forced to shew very little pleasure in her being there
+because of my vow to my wife; and therefore was glad of a very bad
+occasion for my being really troubled, which is, at W. Hewer's losing of a
+tally of L1000, which I sent him this day to receive of the Commissioners
+of Excise.  So that though I hope at the worst I shall be able to get
+another, yet I made use of this to get away as soon as I had dined, and
+therefore out with him to the Excise Office to make a stop of its payment,
+and so away to the coachmaker's and several other places, and so away
+home, and there to my business at the office, and thence home, and there
+my wife to read to me, and W. Hewer to set some matters of accounts right
+at my chamber, to bed.
+
+27th.  Up, and with W. Hewer to see W. Coventry again, but missed him
+again, by coming too late, the man of [all] the world that I am resolved
+to preserve an interest in.  Thence to White Hall, and there at our usual
+waiting on the Duke of York; and that being done, I away to the Exchequer,
+to give a stop, and take some advice about my lost tally, wherein I shall
+have some remedy, with trouble, and so home, and there find Mr. Povy, by
+appointment, to dine with me; where a pretty good dinner, but for want of
+thought in my wife it was but slovenly dressed up; however, much pleasant
+discourse with him, and some serious; and he tells me that he would, by
+all means, have me get to be a Parliament-man the next Parliament, which
+he believes there will be one, which I do resolve of.  By and by comes my
+cozen Roger, and dines with us; and, after dinner, did seal his mortgage,
+wherein I do wholly rely on his honesty, not having so much as read over
+what he hath given me for it, nor minded it, but do trust to his integrity
+therein.  They all gone, I to the office and there a while, and then home
+to ease my eyes and make my wife read to me.
+
+28th.  Up, and all the morning at the Office, where, while I was sitting,
+one comes and tells me that my coach is come.  So I was forced to go out,
+and to Sir Richard Ford's, where I spoke to him, and he is very willing to
+have it brought in, and stand there; and so I ordered it, to my great
+content, it being mighty pretty, only the horses do not please me, and,
+therefore, resolve to have better.  At noon home to dinner, and so to the
+office again all the afternoon, and did a great deal of business, and so
+home to supper and to bed, with my mind at pretty good ease, having this
+day presented to the Board the Duke of York's letter, which, I perceive,
+troubled Sir W. Pen, he declaring himself meant in that part, that
+concerned excuse by sickness; but I do not care, but am mightily glad that
+it is done, and now I shall begin to be at pretty good ease in the Office.
+This morning, to my great content, W. Hewer tells me that a porter is
+come, who found my tally in Holborne, and brings it him, for which he
+gives him 20s.
+
+29th (Lord's day).  Lay long in bed with pleasure with my wife, with whom
+I have now a great deal of content, and my mind is in other things also
+mightily more at ease, and I do mind my business better than ever and am
+more at peace, and trust in God I shall ever be so, though I cannot yet
+get my mind off from thinking now and then of Deb., but I do ever since my
+promise a while since to my wife pray to God by myself in my chamber every
+night, and will endeavour to get my wife to do the like with me ere long,
+but am in much fear of what she lately frighted me with about her being a
+Catholique; and I dare not, therefore, move her to go to church, for fear
+she should deny me; but this morning, of her own accord, she spoke of
+going to church the next Sunday, which pleases me mightily. This morning
+my coachman's clothes come home; and I like the livery mightily, and so I
+all the morning at my chamber, and dined with my wife, and got her to read
+to me in the afternoon, till Sir W. Warren, by appointment, comes to me,
+who spent two hours, or three, with me, about his accounts of Gottenburgh,
+which are so confounded, that I doubt they will hardly ever pass without
+my doing something, which he desires of me, and which, partly from fear,
+and partly from unwillingness to wrong the King, and partly from its being
+of no profit to me, I am backward to give way to, though the poor man do
+indeed deserve to be rid of this trouble, that he hath lain so long under,
+from the negligence of this Board.  We afterwards fell to other talk, and
+he tells me, as soon as he saw my coach yesterday, he wished that the
+owner might not contract envy by it; but I told him it was now manifestly
+for my profit to keep a coach, and that, after employments like mine for
+eight years, it were hard if I could not be justly thought to be able to
+do that.
+
+     [Though our journalist prided himself not a little upon becoming
+     possessed of a carriage, the acquisition was regarded with envy and
+     jealousy by his enemies, as will appear by the following extract
+     from the scurrilous pamphlet, "A Hue and Cry after P. and H. and
+     Plain Truth (or a Private Discourse between P. and H.)," in which
+     Pepys and Hewer are severely handled: "There is one thing more you
+     must be mightily sorry for with all speed.  Your presumption in your
+     coach, in which you daily ride, as if you had been son and heir to
+     the great Emperor Neptune, or as if you had been infallibly to have
+     succeeded him in his government of the Ocean, all which was
+     presumption in the highest degree.  First, you had upon the fore
+     part of your chariot, tempestuous waves and wrecks of ships; on your
+     left hand, forts and great guns, and ships a-fighting; on your right
+     hand was a fair harbour and galleys riding, with their flags and
+     pennants spread, kindly saluting each other, just like P[epys] and
+     H[ewer]. Behind it were high curled waves and ships a-sinking, and
+     here and there an appearance of some bits of land."]
+
+He gone, my wife and I to supper; and so she to read, and made an end of
+the Life of Archbishop Laud, which is worth reading, as informing a man
+plainly in the posture of the Church, and how the things of it were
+managed with the same self-interest and design that every other thing is,
+and have succeeded accordingly.  So to bed.
+
+30th.  Up betimes, and with W. Hewer, who is my guard, to White Hall, to a
+Committee of Tangier, where the business of Mr. Lanyon
+
+     [John Lanyon, agent of the Navy Commissioners at Plymouth.  The
+     cause of complaint appears to have been connected with his contract
+     for Tangier.  In 1668 a charge was made against Lanyon and Thomas
+     Yeabsley that they had defrauded the king in the freighting of the
+     ship "Tiger" ("Calendar of State Papers," 1668-69, p. 138).]
+
+took up all the morning; and where, poor man!  he did manage his business
+with so much folly, and ill fortune to boot, that the Board, before his
+coming in, inclining, of their own accord, to lay his cause aside, and
+leave it to the law, but he pressed that we would hear it, and it ended to
+the making him appear a very knave, as well as it did to me a fool also,
+which I was sorry for.  Thence by water, Mr. Povy, Creed, and I, to
+Arundell House, and there I did see them choosing their Council, it being
+St. Andrew's-day; and I had his Cross
+
+     [The cross of St. Andrew, like that of St. Patrick, is a saltire.
+     The two, combined with the red cross of St. George, form the Union
+     flag.]
+
+set on my hat, as the rest had, and cost me 2s., and so leaving them I
+away by coach home to dinner, and my wife, after dinner, went the first
+time abroad to take the maidenhead of her coach, calling on Roger Pepys,
+and visiting Mrs. Creed, and my cozen Turner, while I at home all the
+afternoon and evening, very busy and doing much work, to my great content.
+Home at night, and there comes Mrs. Turner and Betty to see us, and supped
+with us, and I shewed them a cold civility for fear of troubling my wife,
+and after supper, they being gone, we to bed.  Thus ended this month, with
+very good content, that hath been the most sad to my heart and the most
+expenseful to my purse on things of pleasure, having furnished my wife's
+closet and the best chamber, and a coach and horses, that ever I yet knew
+in the world: and do put me into the greatest condition of outward state
+that ever I was in, or hoped ever to be, or desired: and this at a time
+when we do daily expect great changes in this Office: and by all reports
+we must, all of us, turn out.  But my eyes are come to that condition that
+I am not able to work: and therefore that, and my wife's desire, make me
+have no manner of trouble in my thoughts about it.  So God do his will in
+it!

+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

+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.

+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
