But It Is Pretty To See What

I Went Out To Charing Cross To See Major General Harrison Hanged, Drawn, And Quartered; Which Was Done There, He Looking As Cheerful As Any Man Could In That Condition.

I See It Is Impossible For The King To Have Things Done As Cheap As Other Men.

I Do Still See That My Nature Is Not To Be Quite Conquered, But Will Esteem Pleasure Above All Things, Though Yet In The Middle Of It, It Has Reluctances After My Business, Which Is Neglected By My Following My Pleasure. However Musique And Women I Cannot But Give Way To, Whatever My Business Is.

To Church In The Morning, And There Saw A Wedding In The Church, Which I Have Not Seen Many A Day; And The Young People So Merry One With Another, And Strange To See What Delight We Married People Have To See These Poor Fools Decoyed Into Our Condition, Every Man And Woman Gazing And Smiling At Them.

Now Public Business Takes Up So Much Of My Time That I Must Get Time A Sundays Or A Nights To Look After My Own Matters.
