Again that she spoke but somewhat of what she had
in her heart
Better we think than most other couples do
Compliment from my aunt, which I take kindly as it
is unusual
Did go to Shoe Lane to see a cocke-fighting at a new
pit there
Dined at home alone, a good calves head boiled and
dumplings
Every man looking after himself, and his owne lust
and luxury
Excommunications, which they send upon the least occasions
Expectation of profit will have its force
King was gone to play at Tennis
Opening his mind to him as of one that may hereafter
be his foe
Pen was then turned Quaker
Persuade me that she should prove with child since
last night
Pride and debauchery of the present clergy
Quakers being charmed by a string about their wrists
Taught my wife some part of subtraction
To bed with discontent she yielded to me and began
to be fond
Diary of Samuel Pepys, 1663 N.S. Complete [sp30g10.txt]
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
