     And they did lay pigeons to his feet
     As all other women, cry, and yet talk of other things
     Carry them to a box, which did cost me 20s., besides oranges
     Declared, if he come, she would not live with me
     Fear that the goods and estate would be seized (after suicide)
     Fears some will stand for the tolerating of Papists
     Greater number of Counsellors is, the more confused the issue
     He that will not stoop for a pin, will never be worth a pound
     In my nature am mighty unready to answer no to anything
     It may be, be able to pay for it, or have health
     Lady Castlemayne do rule all at this time as much as ever
     No man was ever known to lose the first time
     She loves to be taken dressing herself, as I always find her
     The devil being too cunning to discourage a gamester
     The manner of the gaming
     This kind of prophane, mad entertainment they give themselves
     Turn out every man that will be drunk, they must turn out all
     Where I expect most I find least satisfaction

Pen and I, begun by me, and yielded to by him, I being in the right in finding fault with him for his neglect of duty.  At noon home to dinner, and after dinner out with my wife, thinking to have gone to the Duke of York’s playhouse, but was, to my great content in the saving my vow, hindered by coming a little too late; and so, it being a fine day, we out to Islington, and there to the old house and eat cheese-cakes and drank and talked, and so home in the evening, the ways being mighty bad, so as we had no pleasure in being abroad at all almost, but only the variety of it, and so to the office, where busy late, and then home to supper and to bed, my head
