ich I am
grown quite out of love with, and so I, after some good discourse with
Mr. Spong, Hill, Grant, and Dr. Whistler, and others by turns, I home
to my office and there late, and so home, where I understand my wife has
spoke to Jane and ended matters of difference between her and her, and
she stays with us, which I am glad of; for her fault is nothing
but sleepiness and forgetfulness, otherwise a good-natured, quiet,
well-meaning, honest servant, and one that will do as she is bid, so one
called upon her and will see her do it. This morning, by three o'clock,
the Prince--[Rupert]--and King, and Duke with him, went down the River,

office again, and then abroad to look after callicos for flags, and hope
to get a small matter by my pains therein and yet save the King a great
deal of money, and so home to my office, and there came Mr. Cocker, and
brought me a globe of glasse, and a frame of oyled paper, as I desired,
to show me the manner of his gaining light to grave by, and to lessen
