A woman sober, and no
high-flyer, as he calls it
Academy was dissolved
by order of the Pope
After oysters, at first
course, a hash of rabbits, a lamb
After some pleasant
talk, my wife, Ashwell, and I to bed
After awhile I caressed
her and parted seeming friends
Again that she spoke
but somewhat of what she had in her heart
And there, did what
I would with her
And so to sleep till
the morning, but was bit cruelly
And so to bed and there
entertained her with great content
And so to bed, my father
lying with me in Ashwell’s bed
Apprehend about one
hundred Quakers
At last we pretty good
friends
Before I sent my boy
out with them, I beat him for a lie
Being cleansed of lice
this day by my wife
Better we think than
most other couples do
Book itself, and both
it and them not worth a turd
But a woful rude rabble
there was, and such noises
Compliment from my aunt,
which I take kindly as it is unusual
Conceited, but that’s
no matter to me
Content as to be at
our own home, after being abroad awhile
Dare not oppose it alone
for making an enemy and do no good
Did so watch to see
my wife put on drawers, which (she did)
Did go to Shoe Lane
to see a cocke-fighting at a new pit there
Did find none of them
within, which I was glad of
Dined at home alone,
a good calves head boiled and dumplings
Dinner was great, and
most neatly dressed
Dog attending us, which
made us all merry again
Dr. Calamy is this day
sent to Newgate for preaching
Duodecimal arithmetique
Eat a mouthful of pye
at home to stay my stomach
Employed by the fencers
to play prizes at
Enquiring into the selling
of places do trouble a great many
Every man looking after
himself, and his owne lust and luxury
Every small thing is
enough now-a-days to bring a difference
Excommunications, which
they send upon the least occasions
Expectation of profit
will have its force
Familiarity with her
other servants is it that spoils them all
Fear it may do him no
good, but me hurt
Fearful that I might
not go far enough with my hat off
Feverish, and hath sent
for Mr. Pierce to let him blood
Found guilty, and likely
will be hanged (for stealing spoons)
Found him a fool, as
he ever was, or worse
Galileo’s air
thermometer, made before 1597
Give her a Lobster and
do so touse her and feel her all over
God knows that I do
not find honesty enough in my own mind
Goes with his guards
with him publiquely, and his trumpets
Goes down the wind in
honour as well as every thing else
Great plot which was
lately discovered in Ireland
Had a good supper of
an oxe’s cheek
Half a pint of Rhenish
wine at the Still-yard, mixed with beer
