loss of many 1000l。 to the people about Limehouse。） Soon as my Lord on board； the guns went off bravely from the ships。 And a little while after comes the Vice…Admiral Lawson； and seemed very respectful to my Lord； and so did the rest of the Commanders of the frigates that were thereabouts。 We were late writing of orders for the getting of ships ready； &c。； and also making of others to all the sea…ports between Hastings and Yarmouth； to stop all dangerous persons that are going or coming between Flanders and there。
24th。 At work hard all the day writing letters to the Council； &c。
25th。 About two o'clock in the morning； letters came from London by our Coxon； so they waked me； but I bid him stay till morning； which he did； and then I rose and carried them into my Lord； who read them a…bed。 Among the rest； there was the writ and mandate for him to dispose to the Cinque Ports for choice of Parliament… men。 There was also one for me from Mr。 Blackburne； who with his own hand superscribes it to S。 P。 Esq。； of which God knows I was not a little proud。 I wrote a letter to the Clerk of Dover Castle to come to my Lord about issuing of those writs。
26th。 This day it is two years since it pleased God that I was cut for the stone at Mrs。 Turner's in Salisbury Court。 ＇Mrs。 Turner was the sister of Edward Pepys。＇ And did resolve while I live to keep it a festival； as I did the last year at my house； and for ever to have Mrs。 Turner and her company with me。 But now it pleased God that I am prevented to do it openly； only within my soul I can and do rejoice； and bless God； being at this time； blessed be his holy name； in as good health as ever I was in my life。 This morning I rose early； and went about making of an establishment of the whole Fleet； and a list of all the ships； with the number of men and guns。 About an hour after that； we had a meeting of the principal commanders and seamen； to proportion out the number of these things。 All the afternoon very many orders were made； till I was very weary。
27th。 This morning the wind came about； and we fell into the Hope。 I sat the first time with my Lord at table since my coming to sea。 All the afternoon exceeding busy in writing of letters and orders。 In the afternoon； Sir Harry Wright come on board us； ＇M。P。 for Harwich。 He married Anne； daughter of Lord Crewe； and sister to Lady Sandwich； and resided in Dagenham； Essex； he was created a Baronet by Cromwell； 1658； and by Charles II。； 1660。＇ about his business of being chosen a Parliament…man。 My Lord brought him to see my cabbin； when I was hard a…writing。 At night supped with my Lord too； with the Captain。
28th。 This morning and the whole day busy。 At night there was a gentleman very well bred； his name was Banes； going for Flushing； who spoke French and Latin very well； brought by direction from Captain Clerke hither； as a prisoner； because he called out of the vessel that he went in； 〃Where is your King； we have done our business； Vive le Roi。〃 He confessed himself a Cavalier in his heart； and that he and his whole family； had fought for the King； but that he was then drunk； having been taking his leave at Gravesend the night before； and so could not； remember what it was that he said； but his words and carriage showed much of a gentleman。 My Lord had a great kindness for him； but did not think it safe to release him。 But a while after； he sent a letter down to my Lord； which my Lord did like very well； and did advise with me that the gentleman was to be released。 So I went up and sat and talked with him in Latin and French； and about eleven at night he took boat again； and so God bless him。 This day we had news of the election at Huntingdon for Bernard and Pedley； ＇John Bernard and Nicholas Pedley； re…elected in the next Parliament。＇ at which my Lord was much troubled for his friends' missing of it。
29th。 We lie still a little below Gravesend。 At night Mr。 Shepley returned from London； and told us of several elections for the next Parliament。 That the King's effigies was new making to be set up in the Exchange again。 This evening was a great whispering that some of the Vice…Admiral's captains were dissatisfied； and did intend to fight themselves； to oppose the General。 But it was soon hushed； and the Vice…Admiral did wholly deny any such thing； and protested to stand by the General。
30th。 This day； while my Lord and we were at dinner； the Nazeby came in sight towards us； and at last came to anchor close by us。 My Lord and many others went on board her； where every thing was out of order； and a new chimney made for my Lord in his bed… chamber； which he was much pleased with。 My Lord in his discourse； discovered a great deal of love to this ship。 ＇Lord Sandwich's flag was on board the Nazeby； when he went to the Sound。＇
APRIL 1st； 1660。 （Lord's day）。 Mr。 Ibbot ＇Minister of Deal； 1676。PEPYS'S MS。 LETTERS。＇ preached very well。 After dinner my lord did give me a private list of all the ships that were to be set out this summer； wherein I do discover that he hath made it his care to put by as much of the Anabaptists as he can。 By reason of my Lord and my being busy to send away the packet by Mr。 Cooke； of the Naseby； it was four o'clock before we could begin sermon again。 This day Captain Guy come on board from Dunkirk； who tells me that the King will come in； and that the soldiers at Dunkirk do drink the King's health in the streets。
2nd。 Up very early； and to get all my things and my boy's packed up。 Great concourse of commanders here this morning to take leave of my Lord upon his going into the Nazeby。 This morning comes Mr。 Ed。 Pickering； ＇Brother to Sir Gilbert Pickering； Bart。＇ he tells me that the King will come in； but that Monk did resolve to have the doing of it himself or else to hinder it。
3rd。 There come many merchants to get convoy to the Baltique； which a course was taken for。 They dined with my Lord； and one of them by name Alderman Wood talked much to my Lord of the hopes that he had now to be settled； （under the King he meant）； but my Lord took no notice of it。 This day come the Lieutenant of the Swiftsure （who was sent by my Lord to Hastings； one of the Cinque Ports； to have got Mr。 Edward Montagu to have been one of their burgesses； but could not； for they were all promised before。）
4th。 This morning come Colonel Thomson with the wooden leg； and G。 Pen； and dined with my lord and Mr。 Blackburne； who told me that it was certain now that the King must of necessity come in； and that one of the Council told him there is something doing in order to a treaty already among them。 And it was strange to hear how Mr。 Blackburne did already begin to commend him for a sober man； and how quiet he would be under his government； &c。 The Commissioners come to…day； only to consult about a further reducement of the Fleet； and to pay them as fast as they can。 At night； my Lord resolved to send the Captain of our ship to Waymouth and promote his being chosen there； which he did put himself into readiness to do the next morning。
9th。 This afternoon I first saw France and Calais； with which I was much pleased； though it was at a distance。
11th。 A Gentleman came from my Lord of Manchester to my Lord for a pass for Mr。 Boyle； ＇The celebrated Robert Boyle； youngest son of Richard first Earl of Cork。＇ which was made him。 All the news from London is that things go on further towards a King。 That the Skinners' Company the other day at their entertaining General Monk had took down the Parliament arms in their Hall； and set up the King's。 My Lord and I had a great deal of discourse about the several Captains of the Fleet and his interest among them； and had his mind clear to bring in the King。 He confessed to me that he was not sure of his own Captain； to be true to him； and that he did not like Capt。 Stokes。
14th。 This day I was informed that my Lord Lambert is got out of the Tower； and that there is 1001。 proffered to whoever shall bring him forth to the Council of State。 My Lord is chosen at Weymouth this morning； my Lord had his freedom brought him by Capt。 Tiddiman of the port of Dover； by which he is capable of being elected for them。 This day I heard
