and there I drank three glasses, and went and walked and came back and
drunk two more; the woman would have had me drink three more; but I
could not, my belly being full, but this wrought very well, and so we
rode home, round by Kingsland, Hackney, and Mile End till we were quite
weary, and my water working at least 7 or 8 times upon the road, which
pleased me well, and so home weary, and not being very well, I betimes
to bed, and there fell into a most mighty sweat in the night, about
eleven o'clock, and there, knowing what money I have in the house and
hearing a noyse, I begun to sweat worse and worse, till I melted almost

We sat at the office all the morning, then at home. Dined alone; sad for
want of company and not being very well, and know not how to eat alone.
After dinner down with Sir G. Carteret, Sir J. Minnes, and Sir W. Batten
to view, and did like a place by Deptford yard to lay masts in. By
and by comes Mr. Coventry, and after a little stay he and I down to
Blackwall, he having a mind to see the yarde, which we did, and fine
storehouses there are and good docks, but of no great profit to him that
oweth them for ought we see.
