From thence I to my Lord’s, and dined with him and told him what we had done to-day.  Sir Tho.  Crew dined with my Lord to-day, and we were very merry with Mrs. Borfett, who dined there still as she has always done lately.  After dinner Sir Tho. and my Lady to the Playhouse to see “The Silent Woman.”  I home by water, and with Mr. Hater in my chamber all alone he and I did put this morning’s design into order, which being done I did carry it to Sir W. Batten, where I found some gentlemen with him (Sir W. Pen among the rest pretty merry with drink) playing at cards, and there I staid looking upon them till one o’clock in the morning, and so Sir W. Pen and I went away, and I to bed.  This day the Parliament voted that the bodies of Oliver, Ireton, Bradshaw, &c., should be taken up out of their graves in the Abbey, and drawn to the gallows, and there hanged and buried under it:  which (methinks) do trouble me that a man of so great courage as he was, should have that dishonour, though otherwise he might deserve it enough.

5th.  This morning the Proposal which I wrote the last night I showed to the officers this morning, and was well liked of, and I wrote it fair for Sir.  G. Carteret to show to the King, and so it is to go to the Parliament.  I dined at home, and after dinner I went to the new Theatre and there I saw “The Merry Wives of Windsor” acted, the humours of the country gentleman and the French doctor very well done, but the rest but very poorly, and Sir J. Falstaffe t as bad as any.  From thence to Mr. Will.  Montagu’s chamber to have sealed some writings tonight between Sir R. Parkhurst and myself about my Lord’s L2000, but he not coming, I went to my father’s and there found my mother still ill of the stone, and had just newly voided one, which she had let drop into the chimney, and looked and found it to shew it me.  From thence home and to bed.

6th.  This morning some of the Commissioners of Parliament and Sir W. Batten went to Sir G. Carteret’s office here in town, and paid off the Chesnut.  I carried my wife to White Friars and landed her there, and myself to Whitehall to the Privy Seal, where abundance of pardons to seal, but I was much troubled for it because that there are no fees now coming for them to me.  Thence Mr. Moore and I alone to the Leg in King Street, and dined together on a neat’s tongue and udder.  From thence by coach to Mr. Crew’s to my Lord, who told me of his going out of town to-morrow to settle the militia in Huntingdonshire, and did desire me to lay up a box of some rich jewels and things that there are in it, which I promised to do.  After much free discourse with my Lord, who tells me his mind as to his enlarging his family, &c., and desiring me to look him out a Master of the Horse and other servants, we parted.  From thence I walked to Greatorex (he was not within), but there I met with Mr. Jonas Moore,
