and there with Captain Rolt and Ferrers we went to
Lambeth to drink our morning draft, where at the Three Mariners, a place
noted for their ale, we went and staid awhile very merry, and so away.
And wanting a boat, we found Captain Bun going down the river, and so
we went into his boat having a lady with him, and he landed them at
Westminster and me at the Bridge. At home all day with my workmen,
and doing several things, among others writing the letter resolved of
yesterday to the Duke. Then to White Hall, where I met my Lord, who told
me he must have L300 laid out in cloth, to give in Barbary, as presents
among the Turks. At which occasion of getting something I was very glad.
Home to supper, and then to Sir R. Slingsby, who with his brother and I
went to my Lord's at the Wardrobe, and there staid a great while, but
he being now taking his leave of his friends staid out late, and so they

thank him for his kindness to me, which Sir Robert answered much to my
advantage. I went down with my Lord in the barge to Deptford, and there

being come with my Lord's things, which made my Lord very angry. By and
by he comes and so we set sayle, and anon went to dinner, my Lord and we
