+
+December 1st.  Up, and to the office, where sat all the morning, and at
+noon with my people to dinner, and so to the office, very busy till night,
+and then home and made my boy read to me Wilkins's Reall Character, which
+do please me mightily, and so after supper to bed with great pleasure and
+content with my wife.  This day I hear of poor Mr. Clerke, the solicitor,
+being dead, of a cold, after being not above two days ill, which troubles
+me mightily, poor man!
+
+2nd.  Up, and at the office all the morning upon some accounts of Sir D.
+Gawden, and at noon abroad with W. Hewer, thinking to have found Mr. Wren
+at Captain Cox's, to have spoke something to him about doing a favour for
+Will's uncle Steventon, but missed him.  And so back home and abroad with
+my wife, the first time that ever I rode in my own coach, which do make my
+heart rejoice, and praise God, and pray him to bless it to me and continue
+it.  So she and I to the King's playhouse, and there sat to avoid seeing
+Knepp in a box above where Mrs. Williams happened to be, and there saw
+"The Usurper;" a pretty good play, in all but what is designed to resemble
+Cromwell and Hugh Peters, which is mighty silly.  The play done, we to
+White Hall; where my wife staid while I up to the Duchesse's and Queen's
+side, to speak with the Duke of York: and here saw all the ladies, and
+heard the silly discourse of the King, with his people about him, telling
+a story of my Lord Rochester's having of his clothes stole, while he was
+with a wench; and his gold all gone, but his clothes found afterwards
+stuffed into a feather bed by the wench that stole them.  I spoke with the
+Duke of York, just as he was set down to supper with the King, about our
+sending of victuals to Sir Thomas Allen's fleet hence to Cales [Cadiz] to
+meet him.  And so back to my wife in my coach, and so with great content
+and joy home, where I made my boy to make an end of the Reall Character,
+which I begun a great while ago, and do please me infinitely, and indeed
+is a most worthy labour, and I think mighty easy, though my eyes make me
+unable to attempt any thing in it.  To-day I hear that Mr. Ackworth's
+cause went for him at Guildhall, against his accusers, which I am well
+enough pleased with.
+
+3rd.  Up betimes, and by water with W. Hewer to White Hall, and there to
+Mr. Wren, who gives me but small hopes of the favour I hoped for Mr.
+Steventon, Will's uncle, of having leave, being upon the point of death,
+to surrender his place, which do trouble me, but I will do what I can. So
+back again to the Office, Sir Jer. Smith with me; who is a silly, prating,
+talking man; but he tells me what he hears, that Holmes and Spragg now
+rule all with the Duke of Buckingham, as to seabusiness, and will be great
+men: but he do prophesy what will be the fruit of it; so I do.  So to the
+Office, where we sat all the morning; and at noon home to dinner, and then
+abroad again, with my wife, to the Duke of York's playhouse, and saw "The
+Unfortunate Lovers;" a mean play, I think, but some parts very good, and
+excellently acted.  We sat under the boxes, and saw the fine ladies; among
+others, my Lady Kerneguy, a who is most devilishly painted.  And so home,
+it being mighty pleasure to go alone with my poor wife, in a coach of our
+own, to a play, and makes us appear mighty great, I think, in the world;
+at least, greater than ever I could, or my friends for me, have once
+expected; or, I think, than ever any of my family ever yet lived, in my
+memory, but my cozen Pepys in Salisbury Court.  So to the office, and
+thence home to supper and to bed.
+
+4th.  Up, and with W. Hewer by water to White Hall, and there did wait as
+usual upon the Duke of York, where, upon discoursing something touching
+the Ticket-Office, which by letter the Board did give the Duke of York
+their advice, to be put upon Lord Brouncker, Sir J. Minnes did foolishly
+rise up and complain of the Office, and his being made nothing of; and
+this before Sir Thomas Littleton, who would be glad of this difference
+among us, which did trouble me mightily; and therefore I did forbear to
+say what I otherwise would have thought fit for me to say on this
+occasion, upon so impertinent a speech as this doting fool made--but, I
+say, I let it alone, and contented myself that it went as I advised, as to
+the Duke of York's judgment, in the thing disputed.  And so thence away,
+my coach meeting me there and carrying me to several places to do little
+jobs, which is a mighty convenience, and so home, where by invitation I
+find my aunt Wight, who looked over all our house, and is mighty pleased
+with it, and indeed it is now mighty handsome, and rich in furniture.  By
+and by comes my uncle, and then to dinner, where a venison pasty and very
+merry, and after dinner I carried my wife and her to Smithfield, where
+they sit in the coach, while Mr. Pickering, who meets me there, and I, and
+W. Hewer, and a friend of his, a jockey, did go about to see several pairs
+of horses, for my coach; but it was late, and we agreed on none, but left
+it to another time: but here I do see instances of a piece of craft and
+cunning that I never dreamed of, concerning the buying and choosing of
+horses.  So Mr. Pickering, to whom I am much beholden for his kindness
+herein, and I parted; and I with my people home, where I left them, and I
+to the office, to meet about some business of Sir W. Warren's accounts,
+where I vexed to see how ill all the Comptroller's business is likely to
+go on, so long as ever Sir J. Minnes lives; and so troubled I was, that I
+thought it a good occasion for me to give my thoughts of it in writing,
+and therefore wrote a letter at the Board, by the help of a tube, to Lord
+Brouncker, and did give it him, which I kept a copy of, and it may be of
+use to me hereafter to shew, in this matter.  This being done, I home to
+my aunt, who supped with us, and my uncle also: and a good-humoured woman
+she is, so that I think we shall keep her acquaintance; but mighty proud
+she is of her wedding-ring, being lately set with diamonds; cost her about
+L12: and I did commend it mightily to her, but do not think it very
+suitable for one of our quality.  After supper they home, and we to bed.
+
+5th.  Up, after a little talk with my wife, which troubled me, she being
+ever since our late difference mighty watchful of sleep and dreams, and
+will not be persuaded but I do dream of Deb., and do tell me that I speak
+in my dreams and that this night I did cry, Huzzy, and it must be she, and
+now and then I start otherwise than I used to do, she says, which I know
+not, for I do not know that I dream of her more than usual, though I
+cannot deny that my thoughts waking do run now and then against my will
+and judgment upon her, for that only is wanting to undo me, being now in
+every other thing as to my mind most happy, and may still be so but for my
+own fault, if I be catched loving any body but my wife again.  So up and
+to the office, and at noon to dinner, and thence to office, where late,
+mighty busy, and despatching much business, settling papers in my own
+office, and so home to supper, and to bed.  No news stirring, but that my
+Lord of Ormond is likely to go to Ireland again, which do shew that the
+Duke of Buckingham do not rule all so absolutely; and that, however, we
+shall speedily have more changes in the Navy: and it is certain that the
+Nonconformists do now preach openly in houses, in many places, and among
+others the house that was heretofore Sir G. Carteret's, in Leadenhall
+Streete, and have ready access to the King.  And now the great dispute is,
+whether this Parliament or another; and my great design, if I continue in
+the Navy, is to get myself to be a Parliament-man.
+
+6th (Lord's day).  Up, and with my wife to church; which pleases me
+mightily, I being full of fear that she would never go to church again,
+after she had declared to me that she was a Roman Catholique.  But though
+I do verily think she fears God, and is truly and sincerely righteous, yet
+I do see she is not so strictly so a Catholique as not to go to church
+with me, which pleases me mightily.  Here Mills made a lazy sermon, upon
+Moses's meeknesse, and so home, and my wife and I alone to dinner, and
+then she to read a little book concerning speech in general, a translation
+late out of French; a most excellent piece as ever I read, proving a soul
+in man, and all the ways and secrets by which nature teaches speech in
+man, which do please me most infinitely to read.  By and by my wife to
+church, and I to my Office to complete my Journall for the last three
+days, and so home to my chamber to settle some papers, and so to spend the
+evening with my wife and W. Hewer talking over the business of the Office,
+and particularly my own Office, how I will make it, and it will become, in
+a little time, an Office of ease, and not slavery, as it hath for so many
+years been.  So to supper, and to bed.
+
+7th.  Up by candlelight, the first time I have done so this winter, but I
+had lost my labour so often to visit Sir W. Coventry, and not visited him
+so long, that I was resolved to get time enough, and so up, and with W.
+Hewer, it being the first frosty day we have had this winter, did walk it
+very well to W. Coventry's, and there alone with him an hour talking of
+the Navy, which he pities, but says he hath no more mind to be found
+meddling with the Navy, lest it should do it hurt, as well as him, to be
+found to meddle with it.  So to talk of general things: and telling him
+that, with all these doings, he, I thanked God, stood yet; he told me,
+Yes, but that he thought his continuing in, did arise from his enemies my
+Lord of Buckingham and Arlington's seeing that he cared so little if he
+was out; and he do protest to me that he is as weary of the Treasury, as
+ever he was of the Navy.  He tells me that he do believe that their heat
+is over almost, as to the Navy, there being now none left of the old stock
+but my Lord Brouncker, J. Minnes, who is ready to leave the world, and
+myself.  But he tells me that he do foresee very great wants and great
+disorders by reason thereof; insomuch, as he is represented to the King by
+his enemies as a melancholy man, and one that is still prophesying ill
+events, so as the King called him Visionaire, which being told him, he
+said he answered the party, that, whatever he foresaw, he was not afeard
+as to himself of any thing, nor particularly of my Lord Arlington, so much
+as the Duke of Buckingham hath been, nor of the Duke of Buckingham, so
+much as my Lord Arlington at this time is.  But he tells me that he hath
+been always looked upon as a melancholy man; whereas, others that would
+please the King do make him believe that all is safe: and so he hath heard
+my Lord Chancellor openly say to the King, that he was now a glorious
+prince, and in a glorious condition, because of some one accident that
+hath happened, or some one rub that hath been removed; "when," says W.
+Coventry, "they reckoned their one good meal, without considering that
+there was nothing left in the cup board for to-morrow."  After this and
+other discourse of this kind, I away, and walked to my Lord Sandwich's,
+and walked with him to White Hall, and took a quarter of an hour's walk in
+the garden with him, which I had not done for so much time with him since
+his coming into England; and talking of his own condition, and
+particularly of the world's talk of his going to Tangier.  I find, if his
+conditions can be made profitable and safe as to money, he would go, but
+not else; but, however, will seem not averse to it, because of
+facilitating his other accounts now depending, which he finds hard to get
+through, but yet hath some hopes, the King, he says, speaking very kindly
+to him.  Thence to a Committee of Tangier, and so with W. Hewer to
+Westminster to Sir R. Longs office, and so to the Temple, but did nothing,
+the Auditor not being within, and so home to dinner, and after dinner out
+again with my wife to the Temple, and up and down to do a little business,
+and back again, and so to my office, and did a little business, and so
+home, and W. Hewer with me, to read and talk, and so to supper, and then
+to bed in mighty good humour. This afternoon, passing through Queen's
+Street, I saw pass by our coach on foot Deb., which, God forgive me, did
+put me into some new thoughts of her, and for her, but durst not shew
+them, and I think my wife did not see her, but I did get my thoughts free
+of her soon as I could.
+
+8th.  Up, and Sir H. Cholmly betimes with me, about some accounts and
+moneys due to him: and he gone, I to the Office, where sat all the
+morning; and here, among other things, breaks out the storm W. Hewer and I
+have long expected from the Surveyor,--[Colonel Middleton.]--about W.
+Hewer's conspiring to get a contract, to the burdening of the stores with
+kerseys and cottons, of which he hath often complained, and lately more
+than ever; and now he did it by a most scandalous letter to the Board,
+reflecting on my Office: and, by discourse, it fell to such high words
+between him and me, as can hardly ever be forgot; I declaring I would
+believe W. Hewer as soon as him, and laying the fault, if there be any,
+upon himself; he, on the other hand, vilifying of my word and W. Hewer's,
+calling him knave, and that if he were his clerk, he should lose his ears.
+At last, I closed the business for this morning with making the thing
+ridiculous, as it is, and he swearing that the King should have right in
+it, or he would lose his place.  The Office was cleared of all but
+ourselves and W. Hewer; but, however, the world did by the beginning see
+what it meant, and it will, I believe, come to high terms between us,
+which I am sorry for, to have any blemish laid upon me or mine, at this
+time, though never so unduly, for fear of giving occasion to my real
+discredit: and therefore I was not only all the rest of the morning vexed,
+but so went home to dinner, where my wife tells me of my Lord Orrery's new
+play "Tryphon," at the Duke of York's house, which, however, I would see,
+and therefore put a bit of meat in our mouths, and went thither; where,
+with much ado, at half-past one, we got into a blind hole in the 18d.
+place, above stairs, where we could not hear well, but the house infinite
+full, but the prologue most silly, and the play, though admirable, yet no
+pleasure almost in it, because just the very same design, and words, and
+sense, and plot, as every one of his plays have, any one of which alone
+would be held admirable, whereas so many of the same design and fancy do
+but dull one another; and this, I perceive, is the sense of every body
+else, as well as myself, who therefore showed but little pleasure in it.
+So home, mighty hot, and my mind mightily out of order, so as I could not
+eat any supper, or sleep almost all night, though I spent till twelve at
+night with W. Hewer to consider of our business: and we find it not only
+most free from any blame of our side, but so horrid scandalous on the
+other, to make so groundless a complaint, and one so shameful to him, that
+it could not but let me see that there is no need of my being troubled;
+but such is the weakness of my nature, that I could not help it, which
+vexes me, showing me how unable I am to live with difficulties.
+
+9th.  Up, and to the Office, but did little there, my mind being still
+uneasy, though more and more satisfied that there is no occasion for it;
+but abroad with my wife to the Temple, where I met with Auditor Wood's
+clerk, and did some business with him, and so to see Mr. Spong, and found
+him out by Southampton Market, and there carried my wife, and up to his
+chamber, a bye place, but with a good prospect of the fields; and there I
+had most infinite pleasure, not only with his ingenuity in general, but in
+particular with his shewing me the use of the Parallelogram, by which he
+drew in a quarter of an hour before me, in little, from a great, a most
+neat map of England--that is, all the outlines, which gives me infinite
+pleasure, and foresight of pleasure, I shall have with it; and therefore
+desire to have that which I have bespoke, made.  Many other pretty things
+he showed us, and did give me a glass bubble, to try the strength of
+liquors with.
+
+     [This seems to refer to the first form of the Hon. Robert Boyle's
+     hydrometer, which he described in a paper in the "Philosophical
+     Transactions" for June, 1675, under the title of a "New Essay
+     instrument."  In this paper the author refers to a glass instrument
+     exhibited many years before by himself, "consisting of a bubble
+     furnished with a long and slender stem, which was to be put into
+     several liquors to compare and estimate their specific gravity."
+     Boyle describes this glass bubble in a paper in "Philosophical
+     Transactions," vol. iv., No. 50, p. 1001, 1669, entitled, "The
+     Weights of Water in Water with ordinary Balances and Weights."]
+
+This done, and having spent 6d. in ale in the coach, at the door of the
+Bull Inn, with the innocent master of the house, a Yorkshireman, for his
+letting us go through his house, we away to Hercules Pillars, and there
+eat a bit of meat: and so, with all speed, back to the Duke of York's
+house, where mighty full again; but we come time enough to have a good
+place in the pit, and did hear this new play again, where, though I better
+understood it than before, yet my sense of it and pleasure was just the
+same as yesterday, and no more, nor any body else's about us. So took our
+coach and home, having now little pleasure to look about me to see the
+fine faces, for fear of displeasing my wife, whom I take great comfort
+now, more than ever, in pleasing; and it is a real joy to me. So home, and
+to my Office, where spent an hour or two; and so home to my wife, to
+supper and talk, and so to bed.
+
+10th.  Up, and to the Office, where busy all the morning: Middleton not
+there, so no words or looks of him.  At noon, home to dinner; and so to
+the Office, and there all the afternoon busy; and at night W. Hewer home
+with me; and we think we have got matter enough to make Middleton appear a
+coxcomb.  But it troubled me to have Sir W. Warren meet me at night, going
+out of the Office home, and tell me that Middleton do intend to complain
+to the Duke of York: but, upon consideration of the business, I did go to
+bed, satisfied that it was best for me that he should; and so my trouble
+was over, and to bed, and slept well.
+
+11th.  Up, and with W. Hewer by water to Somerset House; and there I to my
+Lord Brouncker, before he went forth to the Duke of York, and there told
+him my confidence that I should make Middleton appear a fool, and that it
+was, I thought, best for me to complain of the wrong he hath done; but
+brought it about, that my Lord desired me I would forbear, and promised
+that he would prevent Middleton till I had given in my answer to the
+Board, which I desired: and so away to White Hall, and there did our usual
+attendance and no word spoke before the Duke of York by Middleton at all;
+at which I was glad to my heart, because by this means I have time to draw
+up my answer to my mind.  So with W. Hewer by coach to Smithfield, but met
+not Mr. Dickering, he being not come, and so he [Will] and I to a cook's
+shop, in Aldersgate Street; and dined well for 19 1/2 d., upon roast beef,
+pleasing ourselves with the infinite strength we have to prove Middleton a
+coxcomb; and so, having dined, we back to Smithfield, and there met
+Dickering, and up and down all the afternoon about horses, and did see the
+knaveries and tricks of jockeys.  Here I met W. Joyce, who troubled me
+with his impertinencies a great while, and the like Mr. Knepp, who, it
+seems, is a kind of a jockey, and would fain have been doing something for
+me, but I avoided him, and the more for fear of being troubled thereby
+with his wife, whom I desire but dare not see, for my vow to my wife.  At
+last went away and did nothing, only concluded upon giving L50 for a fine
+pair of black horses we saw this day se'nnight; and so set Mr. Dickering
+down near his house, whom I am much beholden to, for his care herein, and
+he hath admirable skill, I perceive, in this business, and so home, and
+spent the evening talking and merry, my mind at good ease, and so to bed.
+
+12th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning, and at noon home to
+dinner, and so the like mighty busy, late, all the afternoon, that I might
+be ready to go to the drawing up of my answer to Middleton to-morrow, and
+therefore home to supper and to bed.  I hear this day that there is fallen
+down a new house, not quite finished, in Lumbard Street, and that there
+have been several so, they making use of bad mortar and bricks; but no
+hurt yet, as God hath ordered it.  This day was brought home my pair of
+black coach-horses, the first I ever was master of. They cost me L50, and
+are a fine pair.
+
+13th (Lord's day).  Up, and with W. Hewer to the Office, where all the
+morning, and then home to a little dinner, and presently to it again all
+alone till twelve at night, drawing up my answer to Middleton, which I
+think I shall do to very good purpose--at least, I satisfy myself therein;
+and so to bed, weary with walking in my Office dictating to him [Hewer].
+In the night my wife very ill, vomited, but was well again by and by.
+
+14th.  Up, and by water to White Hall to a Committee of Tangier, where,
+among other things, a silly account of a falling out between Norwood, at
+Tangier, and Mr. Bland, the mayor, who is fled to Cales [Cadiz].  His
+complaint is ill-worded, and the other's defence the most ridiculous that
+ever I saw; and so everybody else that was there, thought it; but never
+did I see so great an instance of the use of grammar, and knowledge how to
+tell a man's tale as this day, Bland having spoiled his business by
+ill-telling it, who had work to have made himself notorious by his
+mastering Norwood, his enemy, if he had known how to have used it. Thence
+calling Smith, the Auditor's clerk at the Temple, I by the Exchange home,
+and there looked over my Tangier accounts with him, and so to dinner, and
+then set him down again by a hackney, my coachman being this day about
+breaking of my horses to the coach, they having never yet drawn.  Left my
+wife at Unthank's, and I to the Treasury, where we waited on the Lords
+Commissioners about Sir D. Gawden's matters, and so took her up again at
+night, and home to the office, and so home with W. Hewer, and to talk
+about our quarrel with Middleton, and so to supper and to bed.  This day I
+hear, and am glad, that the King hath prorogued the Parliament to October
+next; and, among other reasons, it will give me time to go to France, I
+hope.
+
+15th.  Up, and to the Office, where sat all the morning, and the new
+Treasurers there; and, for my life, I cannot keep Sir J. Minnes and others
+of the Board from shewing our weakness, to the dishonour of the Board,
+though I am not concerned but it do vex me to the heart to have it before
+these people, that would be glad to find out all our weaknesses. At noon
+Mrs. Mary Batelier with us, and so, after dinner, I with W. Hewer all the
+afternoon till night beginning to draw up our answer to Middleton, and it
+proves troublesome, because I have so much in my head at a time to say,
+but I must go through with it.  So at night to supper and to bed.
+
+16th.  I did the like all day long, only a little at dinner, and so to
+work again, and were at it till 2 in the morning, and so W. Hewer, who was
+with me all day, home to his lodging, and I to bed, after we had finished
+it.
+
+17th.  Up, and set my man Gibson and Mr. Fists to work to write it over
+fair, while I all the morning at the office sitting.  At noon home to
+them, and all the afternoon looking over them and examining with W. Hewer,
+and so about to at night I to bed, leaving them to finish the writing it
+fair, which they did by sitting up most of the night, and so home to bed.
+
+18th.  All the morning at the office about Sir W. Warren's accounts, my
+mind full of my business, having before we met gone to Lord Brouncker, and
+got him to read over my paper, who owns most absolute content in it, and
+the advantage I have in it, and the folly of the Surveyor.  At noon home
+to dinner; and then again to the office a while, and so by hackney coach
+to Brooke House, and there spoke with Colonel Thomson, I by order carrying
+them [the Commissioners of Accounts] our Contract-books, from the
+beginning to the end of the late war.  I found him finding of errors in a
+ship's book, where he shewed me many, which must end in the ruin, I doubt,
+of the Controller, who found them not out in the pay of the ship, or the
+whole Office.  But I took little notice of them to concern myself in them,
+but so leaving my books I home to the Office, where the office met, and
+after some other business done, fell to mine, which the Surveyor begun to
+be a little brisk at the beginning; but when I come to the point to touch
+him, which I had all the advantages in the world to do, he become as calm
+as a lamb, and owned, as the whole Board did, their satisfaction, and
+cried excuse: and so all made friends; and their acknowledgment put into
+writing, and delivered into Sir J. Minnes's hand, to be kept there for the
+use of the Board, or me, when I shall call for it; they desiring it might
+be so, that I might not make use of it to the prejudice of the Surveyor,
+whom I had an advantage over, by his extraordinary folly in this matter.
+But, besides this, I have no small advantage got by this business, as I
+have put several things into my letter which I should otherwise have
+wanted an opportunity of saying, which pleases me mightily.  So Middleton
+desiring to be friends, I forgave him; and all mighty quiet, and fell to
+talk of other stories, and there staid, all of us, till nine or ten at
+night, more than ever we did in our lives before, together.  And so home,
+where I have a new fight to fight with my wife, who is under new trouble
+by some news she hath heard of Deb.'s being mighty fine, and gives out
+that she has a friend that gives her money, and this my wife believes to
+be me, and, poor wretch!  I cannot blame her, and therefore she run into
+mighty extremes; but I did pacify all, and were mighty good friends, and
+to bed, and I hope it will be our last struggle from this business, for I
+am resolved never to give any new occasion, and great peace I find in my
+mind by it. So to supper, she and I to bed.
+
+19th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning, and at noon, eating
+very little dinner, my wife and I by hackney to the King's playhouse, and
+there, the pit being full, satin a box above, and saw "Catiline's
+Conspiracy," yesterday being the first day: a play of much good sense and
+words to read, but that do appear the worst upon the stage, I mean, the
+least diverting, that ever I saw any, though most fine in clothes; and a
+fine scene of the Senate, and of a fight, that ever I saw in my life. But
+the play is only to be read, and therefore home, with no pleasure at all,
+but only in sitting next to Betty Hall, that did belong to this house, and
+was Sir Philip Howard's mistress; a mighty pretty wench, though my wife
+will not think so; and I dare neither commend, nor be seen to look upon
+her, or any other now, for fear of offending her.  So, our own coach
+coming for us, home, and to end letters, and so home, my wife to read to
+me out of "The Siege of Rhodes," and so to supper, and to bed.
+
+20th (Lord's day).  Up, and with my wife to church, and then home, and
+there found W. Joyce come to dine with me, as troublesome a talking
+coxcombe as ever he was, and yet once in a year I like him well enough. In
+the afternoon my wife and W. Hewer and I to White Hall, where they set me
+down and staid till I had been with the Duke of York, with the rest of us
+of the Office, and did a little business, and then the Duke of York in
+good humour did fall to tell us many fine stories of the wars in Flanders,
+and how the Spaniards are the [best] disciplined foot in the world; will
+refuse no extraordinary service if commanded, but scorn to be paid for it,
+as in other countries, though at the same time they will beg in the
+streets: not a soldier will carry you a cloak-bag for money for the world,
+though he will beg a penny, and will do the thing, if commanded by his
+Commander.  That, in the citadel of Antwerp, a soldier hath not a liberty
+of begging till he hath served three years.  They will cry out against
+their King and Commanders and Generals, none like them in the world, and
+yet will not hear a stranger say a word of them but he will cut his
+throat.  That, upon a time, some of the Commanders of their army
+exclaiming against their Generals, and particularly the Marquis de
+Caranen, the Confessor of the Marquis coming by and hearing them, he stops
+and gravely tells them that the three great trades of the world are, the
+lawyers, who govern the world; the churchmen, who enjoy the world; and a
+sort of fools whom they call souldiers, who make it their work to defend
+the world.  He told us, too, that Turenne being now become a Catholique,
+he is likely to get over the head of Colbert, their interests being
+contrary; the latter to promote trade
+
+     [This reminds us of the famous reply, 'Laissez nous affaire', made
+     to Colbert by the French merchants, whose interests he thought to
+     promote by laws and regulations.--B.]
+
+and the sea, which, says the Duke of York, is that that we have most cause
+to fear; and Turenne to employ the King and his forces by land, to
+encrease his conquests.  Thence to the coach to my wife, and so home, and
+there with W. Hewer to my office and to do some business, and so set down
+my Journall for four or five days, and then home to supper and read a
+little, and to bed.  W. Hewer tells me to-day that he hears that the King
+of France hath declared in print, that he do intend this next summer to
+forbid his Commanders to strike--[Strike topsails]--to us, but that both
+we and the Dutch shall strike to him; and that he hath made his captains
+swear it already, that they will observe it: which is a great thing if he
+do it, as I know nothing to hinder him.
+
+21st.  My own coach carrying me and my boy Tom, who goes with me in the
+room of W. Hewer, who could not, and I dare not go alone, to the Temple,
+and there set me down, the first time my fine horses ever carried me, and
+I am mighty proud of them, and there took a hackney and to White Hall,
+where a Committee of Tangier, but little to do, and so away home, calling
+at the Exchange and buying several little things, and so home, and there
+dined with my wife and people and then she, and W. Hewer, and I by
+appointment out with our coach, but the old horses, not daring yet to use
+the others too much, but only to enter them, and to the Temple, there to
+call Talbot Pepys, and took him up, and first went into Holborne, and
+there saw the woman that is to be seen with a beard.  She is a little
+plain woman, a Dane: her name, Ursula Dyan; about forty years old; her
+voice like a little girl's; with a beard as much as any man I ever saw,
+black almost, and grizly; they offered to shew my wife further
+satisfaction if she desired it, refusing it to men that desired it there,
+but there is no doubt but by her voice she is a woman; it begun to grow at
+about seven years old, and was shaved not above seven months ago, and is
+now so big as any man's almost that ever I saw; I say, bushy and thick.
+It was a strange sight to me, I confess, and what pleased me mightily.
+Thence to the Duke's playhouse, and saw "Macbeth."  The King and Court
+there; and we sat just under them and my Lady Castlemayne, and close to
+the woman that comes into the pit, a kind of a loose gossip, that pretends
+to be like her, and is so, something.  And my wife, by my troth, appeared,
+I think, as pretty as any of them; I never thought so much before; and so
+did Talbot and W. Hewer, as they said, I heard, to one another.  The King
+and Duke of York minded me, and smiled upon me, at the handsome woman near
+me but it vexed me to see Moll Davis, in the box over the King's and my
+Lady Castlemayne's head, look down upon the King, and he up to her; and so
+did my Lady Castlemayne once, to see who it was; but when she saw her, she
+looked like fire; which troubled me. The play done, took leave of Talbot,
+who goes into the country this Christmas, and so we home, and there I to
+work at the office late, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+22nd.  At the office all the morning, and at noon to the 'Change, thinking
+to meet with Langford about my father's house in Fleet Streete, but I come
+too late, and so home to dinner, and all the afternoon at the office busy,
+and at night home to supper and talk, and with mighty content with my
+wife, and so to bed.
+
+23rd.  Met at the Office all the morning, and at noon to the 'Change, and
+there met with Langford and Mr. Franke, the landlord of my father's house
+in Fleet Streete, and are come to an arbitration what my father shall give
+him to be freed of his lease and building the house again.  Walked up and
+down the 'Change, and among others discoursed with Sir John Bankes, who
+thinks this prorogation will please all but the Parliament itself, which
+will, if ever they meet, be vexed at Buckingham, who yet governs all.  He
+says the Nonconformists are glad of it, and, he believes, will get the
+upperhand in a little time, for the King must trust to them or nobody; and
+he thinks the King will be forced to it. He says that Sir D. Gawden is
+mightily troubled at Pen's being put upon him, by the Duke of York, and
+that he believes he will get clear of it, which, though it will trouble me
+to have Pen still at the Office, yet I shall think D. Gawden do well in
+it, and what I would advise him to, because I love him.  So home to
+dinner, and then with my wife alone abroad, with our new horses, the
+beautifullest almost that ever I saw, and the first time they ever carried
+her, and me but once; but we are mighty proud of them.  To her tailor's,
+and so to the 'Change, and laid out three or four pounds in lace, for her
+and me; and so home, and there I up to my Lord Brouncker, at his lodgings,
+and sat with him an hour, on purpose to talk over the wretched state of
+this Office at present, according to the present hands it is made up of;
+wherein he do fully concur with me, and that it is our part not only to
+prepare for defending it and ourselves, against the consequences of it,
+but to take the best ways we can, to make it known to the Duke of York;
+for, till Sir J. Minnes be removed, and a sufficient man brought into W.
+Pen's place, when he is gone, it is impossible for this Office ever to
+support itself. So home, and to supper and to bed.
+
+24th.  A cold day.  Up, and to the Office, where all the morning alone at
+the Office, nobody meeting, being the eve of Christmas.  At noon home to
+dinner, and then to the Office busy, all the afternoon, and at night home
+to supper, and it being now very cold, and in hopes of a frost, I begin
+this night to put on a waistcoat, it being the first winter in my whole
+memory that ever I staid till this day before I did so.  So to bed in
+mighty good humour with my wife, but sad, in one thing, and that is for my
+poor eyes.
+
+25th (Christmas-day).  Up, and continued on my waistcoat, the first day
+this winter, and I to church, where Alderman Backewell, coming in late, I
+beckoned to his lady to come up to us, who did, with another lady; and
+after sermon, I led her down through the church to her husband and coach,
+a noble, fine woman, and a good one, and one my wife shall be acquainted
+with.  So home, and to dinner alone with my wife, who, poor wretch!  sat
+undressed all day, till ten at night, altering and lacing of a noble
+petticoat: while I by her, making the boy read to me the Life of Julius
+Caesar, and Des Cartes' book of Musick
+
+     ["Musicae Compendium."  By Rene Des Cartes, Amsterdam, 1617;
+     rendered into English, London, 1653, 4to.  The translator, whose
+     name did not appear on the title, was William, Viscount Brouncker,
+     Pepys's colleague, who proved his knowledge of music by the
+     performance.]
+
+--the latter of which I understand not, nor think he did well that writ
+it, though a most learned man.  Then, after supper, I made the boy play
+upon his lute, which I have not done twice before since he come to me; and
+so, my mind in mighty content, we to bed.
+
+26th.  Lay long with pleasure, prating with my wife, and then up, and I a
+little to the Office, and my head busy setting some papers and accounts to
+rights, which being long neglected because of my eyes will take me up much
+time and care to do, but it must be done.  So home at noon to dinner, and
+then abroad with my wife to a play, at the Duke of York's house, the house
+full of ordinary citizens.  The play was "Women Pleased," which we had
+never seen before; and, though but indifferent, yet there is a good design
+for a good play.  So home, and there to talk, and my wife to read to me,
+and so to bed.
+
+27th (Lord's day).  Walked to White Hall and there saw the King at chapel;
+but staid not to hear anything, but went to walk in the Park, with W.
+Hewer, who was with me; and there, among others, met with Sir G. Downing,
+and walked with him an hour, talking of business, and how the late war was
+managed, there being nobody to take care of it, and telling how, when he
+was in Holland, what he offered the King to do, if he might have power,
+and they would give him power, and then, upon the least word, perhaps of a
+woman, to the King, he was contradicted again, and particularly to the
+loss of all that we lost in Guinny.  He told me that he had so good spies,
+that he hath had the keys taken out of De Witt's
+
+     [The celebrated John de Witt, Grand Pensionary of Holland, who,
+     a few years afterwards, was massacred, with his brother Cornelius,
+     by the Dutch mob, enraged at their opposition to the elevation of
+     William of Orange to the Stadtholdership, when the States were
+     overrun by the French army, and the Dutch fleets beaten at sea by
+     the English.  The murder of the De Witts forms one of the main
+     incidents of Alexandre Dumas's "Black Tulip."]
+
+pocket when he was a-bed, and his closet opened, and papers brought to
+him, and left in his hands for an hour, and carried back and laid in the
+place again, and keys put into his pocket again.  He says that he hath
+always had their most private debates, that have been but between two or
+three of the chief of them, brought to him in an hour after, and an hour
+after that, hath sent word thereof to the King, but nobody here regarded
+them.  But he tells me the sad news, that he is out of all expectations
+that ever the debts of the Navy will be paid, if the Parliament do not
+enable the King to do it by money; all they can hope for to do out of the
+King's revenue being but to keep our wheels a-going on present services,
+and, if they can, to cut off the growing interest: which is a sad story,
+and grieves me to the heart.  So home, my coach coming for me, and there
+find Balty and Mr. How, who dined with me; and there my wife and I fell
+out a little about the foulness of the linen of the table, but were
+friends presently, but she cried, poor heart!  which I was troubled for,
+though I did not give her one hard word.  Dinner done, she to church, and
+W. How and I all the afternoon talking together about my Lord Sandwich's
+suffering his business of the prizes to be managed by Sir R. Cuttance, who
+is so deep in the business, more than my Lord knows of, and such a
+loggerhead, and under such prejudice, that he will, we doubt, do my Lord
+much wrong.  In the evening, he gone, my wife to read to me and talk, and
+spent the evening with much pleasure, and so to supper and to bed.
+
+28th.  Up, called up by drums and trumpets; these things and boxes [??]
+having cost me much money this Christmas already, and will do more.  My
+wife down by water to see her mother, and I with W. Hewer all day together
+in my closet making some advance in the settling of my accounts, which
+have been so long unevened that it troubles me how to set them right,
+having not the use of my eyes to help me.  My wife at night home, and
+tells me how much her mother prays for me and is troubled for my eyes; and
+I am glad to have friendship with them, and believe they are truly glad to
+see their daughter come to live so well as she do.  So spent the night in
+talking, and so to supper and to bed.
+
+29th.  Up, and at the Office all the morning, and at noon to dinner, and
+there, by a pleasant mistake, find my uncle and aunt Wight, and three more
+of their company, come to dine with me to-day, thinking that they had been
+invited, which they were not; but yet we did give them a pretty good
+dinner, and mighty merry at the mistake.  They sat most of the afternoon
+with us, and then parted, and my wife and I out, thinking to have gone to
+a play, but it was too far begun, and so to the 'Change, and there she and
+I bought several things, and so home, with much pleasure talking, and then
+to reading, and so to supper and to bed.
+
+30th.  Up, and vexed a little to be forced to pay 40s. for a glass of my
+coach, which was broke the other day, nobody knows how, within the door,
+while it was down; but I do doubt that I did break it myself with my
+knees.  After dinner, my wife and I to the Duke's playhouse, and there did
+see King Harry the Eighth; and was mightily pleased, better than I ever
+expected, with the history and shows of it.  We happened to sit by Mr.
+Andrews, our neighbour, and his wife, who talked so fondly to his little
+boy.  Thence my wife and I to the 'Change; but, in going, our neere horse
+did fling himself, kicking of the coachbox over the pole; and a great deal
+of trouble it was to get him right again, and we forced to 'light, and in
+great fear of spoiling the horse, but there was no hurt. So to the
+'Change, and then home, and there spent the evening talking, and so to
+supper and to bed.
+
+31st.  Up, and at the Office all the morning.  At noon Capt. Ferrers and
+Mr. Sheres
+
+     [Henry Sheres accompanied Lord Sandwich in his embassy to Spain, and
+     returned to England in September, 1667, bearing letters from the
+     ambassador (see September 8th, 22nd, 27th).  He was an officer in
+     the Ordnance, and served under Lord Dartmouth at the demolition of
+     the Mole at Tangier in 1683.  He was knighted about 1684.  He
+     translated Polybius (2 vols. 8vo., 1693), and also some of the
+     "Dialogues" of Lucian, included in the translation published in 1711
+     (3 vols. 8vo.).  Pepys bequeathed him a ring, and he died about
+     1713.]
+
+come to me to dinner, who did, and pretty pleased with their talk of
+Spayne; but my wife did not come down, I suppose because she would not,
+Captain Ferrers being there, to oblige me by it.  They gone, after dinner,
+I to the office, and then in the evening home, being the last day of the
+year, to endeavour to pay all bills and servants' wages, &c., which I did
+almost to L5 that I know that I owe in the world, but to the publique; and
+so with great pleasure to supper and to bed, and, blessed be God! the year
+ends, after some late very great sorrow with my wife by my folly, yet
+ends, I say, with great mutual peace and content, and likely to last so by
+my care, who am resolved to enjoy the sweet of it, which I now possess, by
+never giving her like cause of trouble.  My greatest trouble is now from
+the backwardness of my accounts, which I have not seen the bottom of now
+near these two years, so that I know not in what condition I am in the
+world, but by the grace of God, as far as my eyes will give me leave, I
+will do 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.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
