to see him and his wife, and would have gone to my Aunt Wight, but that her only child, a daughter, died last night.  Home and to my Lord, who supped within, and Mr. E. Montagu, Mr. Thos.  Crew, and others with him sat up late.  I home and to bed.

29th.  This day or two my maid Jane—­[Jane Wayneman.]—­has been lame, that we cannot tell what to do for want of her.  Up and to White Hall, where I got my warrant from the Duke to be Clerk of the Acts.  Also I got my Lord’s warrant from the Secretary for his honour of Earle of Portsmouth, and Viscount Montagu of Hinchingbroke.  So to my Lord, to give him an account of what I had done.  Then to Sir Geffery Palmer, to give them to him to have bills drawn upon them, who told me that my Lord must have some good Latinist to make the preamble to his Patent, which must express his late service in the best terms that he can, and he told me in what high flaunting terms Sir J.
