Little worth of this world, to buy it
with so much pain

Long cloaks being now quite out

Look askew upon my wife, because my
wife do not buckle to them

Lord! to see the absurd nature of
Englishmen

Lord! in the dullest insipid manner
that ever lover did

Lust and wicked lives of the nuns
heretofore in England

Luxury and looseness of the times

Lying a great while talking and
sporting in bed with my wife

Made a lazy sermon, like a Presbyterian

Made to drink, that they might know him
not to be a Roundhead

Made him admire my drawing a thing
presently in shorthand

Magnifying the graces of the nobility
and prelates

Make a man wonder at the good fortune
of such a fool

Man cannot live without playing the
knave and dissimulation
Matters in Ireland are full of
discontent

Meazles, we fear, or, at least, of a
scarlett feavour

Methought very ill, or else I am grown
worse to please

Milke, which I drank to take away, my
heartburne

Mirrors which makes the room seem both
bigger and lighter

Money I have not, nor can get

Money, which sweetens all things

Montaigne is conscious that we are
looking over his shoulder

Most flat dead sermon, both for matter
and manner of delivery

Most homely widow, but young, and
pretty rich, and good natured

Mr. William Pen a Quaker again

Much discourse, but little to be
learned

Musique in the morning to call up our
new-married people

Muske Millon

My wife, coming up suddenly, did find
me embracing the girl

My wife hath something in her gizzard,
that only waits

My heart beginning to falsify in this
business

My old folly and childishnesse hangs
upon me still

My new silk suit, the first that ever I
wore in my life

My Lord, who took physic to-day and was
in his chamber

My wife will keep to one another and
let the world go hang

My wife this night troubled at my
leaving her alone so much

My wife was making of her tarts and
larding of her pullets

My head was not well with the wine that
I drank to-day

My first attempt being to learn the
multiplication-table

My intention to learn to trill

Necessary, and yet the peace is so bad
in its terms

Never laughed so in all my life. I
laughed till my head ached

Never, while he lives, truckle under
any body or any faction

Never to trust too much to any man in
the world

Never was known to keep two mistresses
in his life (Charles II.)

Never could man
