which, it is thought, will make mad work among the Presbyterian
ministers. People of all sides are very much discontented; some thinking
themselves used, contrary to promise, too hardly; and the other, that
they are not rewarded so much as they expected by the King. God keep us
all. I have by a late oath obliged myself from wine and plays, of which
I find good effect.

JUNE 1662

June 1st (Lord's day). At church in the morning. A stranger made a very
good sermon. Dined at home, and Mr. Spong came to see me; so he and I
sat down a little to sing some French psalms, and then comes Mr. Shepley
and Mr. Moore, and so we to dinner, and after dinner to church again,
where a Presbyter made a sad and long sermon, which vexed me, and so
home, and so to walk on the leads, and supper and to prayers and bed.

2nd. Up early about business and then to the Wardrobe with Mr. Moore,
and spoke to my Lord about the exchange of the crusados

It varied in value at different periods from 2s. 3d. to 4s.]

into sterling money, and other matters. So to my father at Tom's, and
after some talk with him away home, and by and by comes my father to
dinner with me, and then by coach, setting him down in Cheapside, my
wife and I to Mrs. Clarke's at Westminster, the first visit that ever
we both made her yet. We found her in a dishabille, intending to go to
Hampton Court to-morrow. We had much pretty discourse, and a very fine
lady she is. Thence by water to Salisbury Court, and Mrs. Turner not
being at home, home by coach, and so after walking on the leads and
supper to bed. This day my wife put on her slasht wastecoate, which is
very pretty.

3rd. Up by four o'clock and to my business in my chamber, to even
accounts with my Lord and myself, and very fain I would become master
of L1000, but I have not above L530 toward it yet. At the office all the
morning, and Mr. Coventry brought his patent and took his place with
us this morning. Upon our making a contract, I went, as I use to do,
to draw the heads thereof, but Sir W. Pen most basely told me that the
Comptroller is to do it, and so begun to employ Mr. Turner about it, at
