‼️ Sorry. It's a great shame, but this is the final straw after many almost-final straws. Maybe one day, if this site survives, and becomes less terrible, and is no longer owned by a prating coxcomb, @samuelpepys will return. And so to bed. Phil. ‼️ https://t.co/AR1oW2Fruq

My Lord took leave of the House of Commons, and had the thanks of the House for his great services to his country.

Down to Whitehall, where I met with Mr. Creed, and with him and a Welsh schoolmaster, a good scholar but a very pedagogue, to the ordinary at the Leg in King Street.

To White Hall, where I did acquaint Mr. Watkins with my being sworn into the Privy Seal, at which he was much troubled, but put it up and did offer me a kinsman of his to be my clerk, which I did give him some hope of, though I never intend it.

To Westminster about my Lord’s business and so home, my Lord having not been well these two or three days, and I hear that Mr. Barnwell at Hinchinbroke is fallen sick again.

I did this time show so much coldness to W. Joyce that I believe all the table took notice of it.

I went to my father’s, where my Uncle Fenner and all his crew and Captain Holland and his wife and my wife were at dinner at a venison pasty of the venison that I did give my mother the other day.

I sent my wife to my father’s and he is to give me 5l. worth of pewter.

Great talk of the difference between the Episcopal and Presbyterian Clergy, but I believe it will come to nothing.

I went to Westminster Hall, where I took Mr. Michell and his wife, to the Dog Tavern, where I did give them a dish of anchovies and olives and paid for all, and did talk of our old discourse when we did use to talk of the King, in the time of the Rump, privately.

I received my commission to swear people the oath of allegiance and supremacy delivered me by my Lord.

I to my Lord and found him in bed.

I and my wife by water, landed her at Whitefriars with her boy with an iron of our new range which is already broke and my wife will have changed, and many other things she has to buy with the help of my father today.

I did lie late a-bed.

My mind very quiet, only a little trouble I have for the great debts which I have still upon me to the Secretary, Mr. Kipps, and Mr. Spong for my patent.

Home, where W. Hewer now was, and did lie this night with us, the first night.

I did carry it to my mother, where I had not been a great while, and indeed had no great mind to go, because my father did lay upon me continually to do him a kindness at the Wardrobe, which I could not do because of my own business being so fresh with my Lord.

To my Lord about business, and being in talk in comes one with half a buck from Hinchinbroke, and it smelling a little strong my Lord did give it me (though it was as good as any could be).
