d thence to Herring's, the merchant in
Coleman Street, about L50 which he promises I shall have on Saturday next.
So to my mother's, and then to Mrs. Turner's, of whom I took leave, and
her company, because she was to go out of town to-morrow with Mr. Pepys
into Norfolk. Here my cosen Norton gave me a brave cup of metheglin,

[A liquor made of honey and water, boiled and fermenting. By 12
Charles II. cap. 23, a grant of certain impositions upon beer, ale,
and other liquors, a duty of 1d. per gallon was laid upon "all
metheglin or mead."]

the first I ever drank. To my mother's and supped there.

She shewed me a letter to my father from my uncle inviting him to come to
Brampton while he is in the country. So home and to bed. This day my
Lord came to the House, the first time since he came to town; but he had
been at the Council before.
