words:  “Domine salvum fac Regem,” an admirable thing.  Here also Capt.  Taylor began a discourse of something that he had lately writ about Gavelkind in answer to one that had wrote a piece upon the same subject; and indeed discovered a great deal of study in antiquity in his discourse.  Here out of the window it was a most pleasant sight to see the City from one end to the other with a glory about it, so high was the light of the bonfires, and so thick round the City, and the bells rang everywhere.  Hence home and wrote to my Lord, afterwards came down and found Mr. Hunt (troubled at this change) and Mr. Spong, who staid late with me singing of a song or two, and so parted.  My wife not very well, went to bed before.  This morning I met in the Hall with Mr. Fuller, of Christ’s, and told him of my design to go to Cambridge, and whither.  He told me very freely the temper of Mr. Widdrington, how he did oppose all the fellows in the College, and that there was a great distance between him and the rest, at which I was very sorry, for that he told me he feared it would be little to my brother’s advantage to be his pupil.

22nd.  In the morning intended to have gone to Mr. Crew’s to borrow some money, but it raining I forbore, and went to my Lord’s lodging and look that all things were well there.  Then home and sang a song to my viall, so to my office and to Will’s, where Mr. Pierce found me out, and told me that he would go with me to Cambridge, where Colonel Ayre’s regiment, to which he was surgeon, lieth.  Walking in the Hall, I saw Major-General Brown, who had along time been banished by the Rump, but now with his beard overgrown, he comes abroad and sat in the House.  To my father’s to dinner, where nothing but a small dish of powdered beef—­[Boiled salt beef.  To powder was to sprinkle with salt, and the powdering tub a vessel in which meat was salted.]—­and dish of carrots; they being all busy to get things ready for my brother John to go to-morrow.  After dinner, my wife staying there, I went to Mr. Crew’s, and got; L5 of Mr. Andrews, and so to Mrs. Jemimah, who now hath her instrument about her neck, and indeed is infinitely, altered, and holds her head upright.  I paid her, maid 40s. of the money that I have received of Mr. Andrews.  Hence home to my study, where I only wrote thus much of this day’s passages to this * and so out again.  To White Hall, where I met with Will.  Simons and Mr. Mabbot at Marsh’s, who told me how the House had this day voted that the gates of the City should be set up at the cost of the State.  And that Major-General Brown’s being proclaimed a traitor be made void, and several other things of that nature.  Home for my lanthorn and so to my father’s, where I directed John what books to put for Cambridge.  After that to supper, where my Uncle Fenner and my Aunt, The.  Turner, and Joyce, at a brave leg of veal roasted, and were very merry against John’s going to Cambridge.  I observed this day how abominably Barebone’s windows are broke again last night.  At past 9 o’clock my wife and I went home.
