but yet room enough. Anon to church,
walking out into the streete to the Conduit, and so across the streete,
and had a very good company along with the corps. And being come to the
grave as above, Dr. Pierson, the minister of the parish, did read the
service for buriall: and so I saw my poor brother laid into the grave;
and so all broke up; and I and my wife and Madam Turner and her family
to my brother's, and by and by fell to a barrell of oysters, cake, and
cheese, of Mr. Honiwood's, with him, in his chamber and below, being
too merry for so late a sad work. But, Lord! to see how the world makes
nothing of the memory of a man, an houre after he is dead! And, indeed,
I must blame myself; for though at the sight of him dead and dying,
I had real grief for a while, while he was in my sight, yet presently
after, and ever since, I have had very little grief indeed for him.
By and by, it beginning to be late, I put things in some order in the
house, and so took my wife and Besse (who hath done me very good service
in cleaning and getting ready every thing and serving the wine and
things to-day, and is indeed a most excellent good-natured and faithful
wench, and I love her mightily), by coach home, and so after being at
the office to set down the day's work home to supper and to bed.

19th. Up and to the office, where all the morning, and at noon my
wife and I alone, having a good hen, with eggs, to dinner, with great
content. Then by coach to my brother's, where I spent the afternoon
in paying some of the charges of the buriall, and in looking over his
papers, among which I find several letters of my brother John's to him
speaking very foale words of me and my deportment to him here, and very
crafty designs about Sturtlow land and God knows what, which I am very
glad to know, and shall make him repent them. Anon my father and my
brother John came to towne by coach. I sat till night with him, giving
him an account of things. He, poor man, very sad and sickly. I in great
pain by a simple compressing of my cods to-day by putting one leg over
another as I have formerly done, which made me hasten home, and after a
little at the office in great disorder home to bed.

20th (Lord's day). Kept my bed all the morning, having laid a poultice
to my cods last night to take down the tumour there which I got
yesterday, which it did do, being applied pretty warm, and soon after
the beginning of the swelling, and the pain was gone also. We
