walk, passed out of doors as we did in the other place, and here we had
cakes and powdered beef--[salt beef]--and ale, and so home again by water
with much pleasure. This day, being the King's birth-day, was very
solemnly observed; and the more, for that the Queen this day comes to
Hampton Court. In the evening, bonfires were made, but nothing to the
great number that was heretofore at the burning of the Rump. So to bed.

30th. This morning I made up my accounts, and find myself 'de claro'
worth about L530, and no more, so little have I increased it since my last

31st. Lay long in bed, and so up to make up my Journall for these two or
three days past. Then came Anthony Joyce, who duns me for money for the
tallow which he served in lately by my desire, which vexes me, but I must
