mean thing that the King should so far own his own want of credit as to
borrow theirs in this manner. My Lord Anglesey told him that this was the
way indeed to teach the Parliament to trust the King no more for the time
to come, but to have a kingdom's Treasurer distinct from the King's. Home
at noon to dinner, where I expected to have had our new girle, my wife's
woman, but she is not yet come. I abroad after dinner to White Hall, and
there among other things do hear that there will be musique to-morrow
night before the King. So to Westminster, where to the Swan . . . .
and drank and away to the Hall, and thence to Mrs. Martin's, to bespeak
some linen, and there je did avoir all with her, and drank, and away,
having first promised my goddaughter a new coat-her first coat. So by
coach home, and there find our pretty girl Willet come, brought by Mr.
Batelier, and she is very pretty, and so grave as I never saw a little
thing in my life. Indeed I think her a little too good for my family, and
so well carriaged as I hardly ever saw. I wish my wife may use her well.
Now I begin to be full of thought for my journey the next week, if I can
get leave, to Brampton. Tonight come and sat with me Mr. Turner and his
wife and tell me of a design of sending their son Franke to the East Indy
Company's service if they can get him entertainment, which they are
promised by Sir Andr. Rickard, which I do very well like of. So the
company broke up and to bed.
