Did so watch to see my wife put on drawers, which (she did)
Duodecimal arithmetique Employed by the fencers to play prizes at Enquiring into the selling of places do trouble a great many Every small thing is enough now-a-days to bring a difference Give her a Lobster and do so touse her and feel her all over God knows that I do not find honesty enough in my own mind Goes with his guards with him publiquely, and his trumpets Great plot which was lately discovered in Ireland He hoped he should live to see her "ugly and willing" He is too wise to be made a friend of I calling her beggar, and she me pricklouse, which vexed me I slept most of the sermon In some churches there was hardly ten people in the whole church It must be the old ones that must do any good Jealous, though God knows I have no great reason John has got a wife, and for that he intends to part with him Keep at interest, which is a good, quiett, and easy profit Lay long in bed talking and pleasing myself with my wife My wife and her maid Ashwell had between them spilled the pot. . . . No sense nor grammar, yet in as good words that ever I saw Nor would become obliged too much to any Nothing is to be got without offending God and the King Nothing of any truth and sincerity, but mere envy and design Reading my Latin grammar, which I perceive I have great need Sad for want of my wife, whom I love with all my heart Saw his people go up and down louseing themselves See whether my wife did wear drawers to-day as she used to do Sent me last night, as a bribe, a barrel of sturgeon She begins not at all to take pleasure in me or study to please |
