end of
speakinge, and layinge Her finger upon Her nether Lippe, like as She
wolde bid it be stille.--After some more Talke, wh^in She show'd that
Her Witt was more deepe, and Her minde more seriouslie inclin'd, than I
had Thoughte from our first Jestinge, She beinge call'd to go thence, I
did see Her mother, whose face I knewe, & was made sensible, y^t I had
given my Hearte to y^e daughter of a House wh. with myne owne had longe
been at grievous Feud, for y^e folly of oure Auncestres.--Havinge come
to wh. heavie momente in my Tale, I have no Patience to write more
to-nighte.

22^nd Aprile.

I was mynded to write no more in y^s journall, for verie Shame's sake,
y^t I shoude so complayne, lyke a Childe, whose toie is taken f^m him,
butt (mayhapp for it is nowe y^e fulle Moone, & a moste greavous period
for them y^t are Love-strucke) I am fayne, lyke y^e Drunkarde who maye
not abstayne f^m his cupp, to set me anewe to recordinge of My Dolorous
mishapp.--When I sawe Her agayn, She beinge aware of my name, & of y^e
division betwixt oure Houses, wolde have none of me, butt I wolde nott
be putt Off, & made bolde to question Her, why She sholde showe me
suche exceed^g Coldness.--She answer'd, 'twas wel knowne what Wronge my

G.father--we were nott y^e same Persone, he beinge muche my Elder, &
besydes Deade.--She w^d have it, 'twas no matter for jestinge.--I tolde
Her, I wolde be resolv'd, what grete Wronge y^is was.--Y^s more for to
make Speache th^n for mine owne advertisem^t, for I knewe wel y^e whole
Knaverie, wh. She rehears'd, Howe my G.father had cheated Her G.father
of Landes upp y^e River, with more, howe my G.father had impounded y^e
Cattle of Hern.--I made answer, 'twas foolishnesse, in my mynde, for
y^e iii^d Generation to so quarrell over a Parsel of rascallie Landes,
y^t had long ago beene solde for Taxes, y^t as to y^e Cowes, I wolde
make them goode, & th^r Produce & Offspringe, if it tooke y^e whole
Wash^tn Markett.--She however tolde me y^t y^e Ffrenche familie had y^e
where w^al to buye what they lack'd in Butter, Beafe & Milke, and
likewise in _Veale_, wh. laste I tooke much to Hearte, wh. She seeinge,
became more gracious &, on my pleadinge, accorded y^t I sholde have y^e
Privilege to speake with Her when we next met.--Butt neyther then, nor
at anie other Tyme th^after wolde She suffer me to visitt Her. So I was
harde putt to it to com
