He was presently cut down and his head and
heart shown to the people at which there were great shouts of joy. It said that he said that he was sure to come shortly at the right hand of Christ to judge them that doll had judged him and that his wife do expect his coming again. Thus it was my chance to see that King beheaded at White Hall and to see the first blood shed in revenge for the king at Charing Cross. Setting up shelves in my study. 14 dart over more today.

I dined with my lord and lady. He was very merry and he talked very high. How he would have a French cook and a master of his horse and his lady and child to wear black patches which me thought was strange. But he is become a perfect courtier So afternoon going through London and calling it the upholsterers and S.

Mr Moore tells me among other things that the Duke of York is now sorry for is and more with my Lord Chancellor's daughter who is now brought to bed of a boy. I went to see Mr. Greatorex where I bought of him a drawing pen and he did show me the manner of the lamp glasses which carried the light. A great way. Good to read in bed by and I intended to have one of them and we looked at his wooden Jack and his chimney that that goes with the smoke which indeed is very pretty. So to Mr. Little

With him we to segue afterwards and Mr. Lee's study. Twenty sixth October to Westminster Hall and bought among other books one of the life of our Queen which I read at home to my wife.

And I believe good for such kind of things but in themselves but poor and absurd they Davis's now come to our next lodgings and has locked up the lead's door from me which puts me in great disquiet. Thirty first October much troubled about my walk on the LEDs. But we are all unwilling to anger me Lady Davis. November 1st this morning so W. Pen and I were mounted

As to Christmas by old schoolfellow with whom I had much talk. He did remember that I was a great round head when I was a boy and I was much afraid that he would remember the words that I said the day the king was beheaded. That when I had to preach about him my text should be the memory of the wicked shall rot. But I found afterwards that he did go away from school before that time. Second of Ember in Paul's Churchyard I called it curtains and there they had got a mass book for me which I bought and cost me twelve shillings. When I come home sat up late and read it in great pleasure with my wife to hear

Whereby I guessed that as I believed before coming to please but very few 7th November went by water to my lord when I dined with him and he in a very merry humor. And I don't raise an opinion of him to be one of the most secret men in the world which I was not so convinced of before. After dinner he did go out of the room and did tell me how the king had promised him four thousand pounds per annum for ever and had already given him a bill under his hand which he showed me for four thousand pounds that Mr. Fox is to pay him. But I wanted advise with me how to get this received and to put out three thousand pounds into save hands that use and the other he will make use of for
his present occasion. This he did advise with me about with the greatest secrecy. After all this he called for the fiddles and books and we two and W.
