which indeed are very good, and so back again home, I seeming very
friendly to him, though I know him to be a rogue, and one that hates me
with his heart. Home and to dinner, and so to my office all the
afternoon, where in some pain in my backe, which troubled me, but I think
it comes only with stooping, and from no other matter. At night to
Nellson's, and up and down about business, and so home to my office, then
home to supper and to bed.

3rd. Up and to the office, where strange to see how Sir W. Pen is flocked
to by people of all sorts against his going to sea. At the office did
much business, among other an end of that that has troubled me long, the
business of the bewpers and flags. At noon to the 'Change, and thence by
appointment was met with Bagwell's wife, and she followed me into
Moorfields, and there into a drinking house, and all alone eat and drank
together. I did there caress her, but though I did make some offer did
not receive any compliance from her in what was bad, but very modestly she
denied me, which I was glad to see and shall value her the better for it,
and I hope never tempt her to any evil more. Thence back to the town, and
we parted and I home, and then at the office late, where Sir W. Pen came
to take his leave of me, being to-morrow, which is very sudden to us, to
go on board to lie on board, but I think will come ashore again before the
ship, the Charles,

["The Royal Charles" was the Duke of York's ship, and Sir William
Penn, who hoisted his flag in the "Royal James" on November 8th,
shifted to the "Royal Charles" on November 30th. The duke gave Penn
the command of the fleet immediately under himself. On Penn's
monument he is styled "Great Captain Commander under His Royal
Highness" (Penn's "Memorials of Sir William Penn," vol. ii.,
p. 296).]
