Asleep, while the wench
sat mending my breeches by my bedside
Barkley swearing that
he and others had lain with her often
But I think I am not
bound to discover myself
But we were friends
again as we are always
Cure of the King’s
evil, which he do deny altogether
Duke of York and Mrs.
Palmer did talk to one another very wanton
First time I had given
her leave to wear a black patch
First time that ever
I heard the organs in a cathedral
Gentlewomen did hold
up their heads to be kissed by the King
Have her come not as
a sister in any respect, but as a servant
Have not known her this
fortnight almost, which is a pain to me
He did very well, but
a deadly drinker he is
I took a broom and basted
her till she cried extremely
I was a great Roundhead
when I was a boy
I was demanded L100,
for the fee of the office at 6d. a pound
In discourse he seems
to be wise and say little
It not being handsome
for our servants to sit so equal with us
Learnt a pretty trick
to try whether a woman be a maid or no
Long cloaks being now
quite out
Sit up till 2 o’clock
that she may call the wench up to wash
Smoke jack consists
of a wind-wheel fixed in the chimney
So I took occasion to
go up and to bed in a pet
So we went to bed and
lay all night in a quarrel
The rest did give more,
and did believe that I did so too
There being ten hanged,
drawn, and quartered
Thus it was my chance
to see the King beheaded at White Hall
To see Major-general
Harrison hanged, drawn; and quartered

A very fine dinner
A good handsome wench
I kissed, the first that I have seen
Among all the beauties
there, my wife was thought the greatest
An exceeding pretty
lass, and right for the sport
An offer of L500 for
a Baronet’s dignity
And in all this not
so much as one
Asleep, while the wench
sat mending my breeches by my bedside
Barkley swearing that
he and others had lain with her often
Bought for the love
of the binding three books
Boy up to-night for
his sister to teach him to put me to bed
But we were friends
again as we are always
But I think I am not
bound to discover myself
Cavaliers have now the
upper hand clear of the Presbyterians
Confusion of years in
the case of the months of January (etc.)
Court attendance infinite
tedious
Cure of the King’s
evil, which he do deny altogether
Diana did not come according
to our agreement
Did not like that Clergy
should meddle with matters of state
Dined with my wife on
pease porridge and nothing else
Dined upon six of my
pigeons, which my wife has resolved to kill
