Academy was dissolved by order of the Pope
     After some pleasant talk, my wife, Ashwell, and I to bed
     And so to bed, my father lying with me in Ashwell’s bed
     Dare not oppose it alone for making an enemy and do no good
     Dinner was great, and most neatly dressed
     Dog attending us, which made us all merry again
     Galileo’s air thermometer, made before 1597
     I do not find other people so willing to do business as myself
     I was very angry, and resolve to beat him to-morrow
     Insurrection of the Catholiques there
     Justice of proceeding not to condemn a man unheard
     Matters in Ireland are full of discontent
     My maid Susan ill, or would be thought so
     Parliament do agree to throw down Popery
     Railed bitterly ever and anon against John Calvin
     She is conceited that she do well already
     So home to supper and bed with my father
     That he is not able to live almost with her
     That I might say I saw no money in the paper
     There is no man almost in the City cares a turd for him
     Though it be but little, yet I do get ground every month

Diaryof Samuel Pepys. 
May & June
1663

May 1st.  Up betimes and my father with me, and he and I all the morning and Will Stankes private, in my wife’s closet above, settling our matters concerning our Brampton estate, &c., and I find that there will be, after all debts paid within L100, L50 per annum clear coming towards my father’s maintenance, besides L25 per annum annuities to my Uncle Thomas and Aunt Perkins.  Of which, though I was in my mind glad, yet thought it not fit to let my father know it thoroughly, but after he had gone out to visit my uncle Thomas and brought him to dinner with him, and after dinner I got my father, brother Tom, and myself together, I did make the business worse to them, and did promise L20 out of my own purse to make it L50 a year to my father, propounding that Stortlow may be sold to pay L200 for his satisfaction therein and the rest to go towards payment of debts and legacies.  The truth is I am fearful lest my father should die before debts are paid, and then the land goes to Tom
