About my new closet,
for my mind is full of nothing but that
About the nature of
sounds
All the innocent pleasure
in the world
Angry, and so continued
till bed, and did not sleep friends
Beare-garden
Being examined at Allgate,
whether we were husbands and wives
Did dig another, and
put our wine in it; and I my Parmazan cheese
Do bury still of the
plague seven or eight in a day
Durst not ask any body
how it was with us
Evelyn, who cries out
against it, and calls it bitchering
Fire grow; and, as it
grew darker, appeared more and more
Good sport of the bull’s
tossing of the dogs
Great fire they saw
in the City
Horrid malicious bloody
flame
I never did observe
so much of myself in my life
No manner of means used
to quench the fire
Not permit her begin
to do so, lest worse should follow
Offered to stop the
fire near his house for such a reward
Pain to ride in a coach
with them, for fear of being seen
Plot in it, and that
the French had done it
Put up with too much
care, that I have forgot where they are
Removing goods from
one burned house to another
Sad sight it was:
the whole City almost on fire
Staying out late, and
painting in the absence of her husband
There did ‘tout
ce que je voudrais avec’ her
This unhappinesse of
ours do give them heart
Ye pulling down of houses,
in ye way of ye fire

October 1st, 1666. Up, and all the morning at the office, getting the list of all the ships and vessels employed since the war, for the Committee of Parliament. At noon with it to Sir W. Coventry’s chamber, and there dined with him and [Sir] W. Batten, and [Sir] W. Pen, and after dinner examined it and find it will do us much right in the number of men rising to near the expense we delivered to the Parliament. [Sir] W. Coventry and I (the others going before the Committee) to Lord Bruncker’s for his hand, and find him simply mighty busy in a council of the Queen’s. He come out and took in the papers to sign, and sent them mighty wisely out again.
