     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
