20s. in money, and what wine she
needed, for the burying him

A good handsome wench I kissed, the
first that I have seen

A fair salute on horseback, in
Rochester streets, of the lady

A most conceited fellow and not over
much in him

A conceited man, but of no Logique in
his head at all

A pretty man, I would be content to
break a commandment with him

A lady spit backward upon me by a
mistake

A play not very good, though commended
much

A cat will be a cat still

A book the Bishops will not let be
printed again

A most tedious, unreasonable, and
impertinent sermon

About two o'clock, too late and too
soon to go home to bed

Academy was dissolved by order of the
Pope

Act of Council passed, to put out all
Papists in office

Advantage a man of the law hath over
all other people

Afeard of being louzy


After taking leave of my wife, which we
could hardly do kindly

After awhile I caressed her and parted
seeming friends

After many protestings by degrees I did
arrive at what I would

After oysters, at first course, a hash
of rabbits, a lamb

After a harsh word or two my wife and I
good friends

All ended in love

All made much worse in their report
among people than they are

All the fleas came to him and not to me

All divided that were bred so long at
school together

All may see how slippery places all
courtiers stand in

All things to be managed with faction

All the towne almost going out of towne
(Plague panic)

Ambassador—that he is an honest man
sent to lie abroad

Among  many lazy people that the
diligent man becomes necessary

An exceeding pretty lass, and right for
the sport

An offer of L500 for a Baronet's
dignity

And for his beef, says he, "Look how
fat it is"

And if ever I fall on it again, I
deserve to be undone

And a deal of do of which I am weary

And they did lay pigeons to his feet

And there, did what I would with her

And so to sleep till the morning, but
was bit cruelly

And so to bed and there entertained her
with great content

And feeling for a chamber-pott, there
was none

And with the great men in curing of
their claps

And so by coach, though hard to get it,
being rainy, home

Angry, and so continued till bed, and
did not sleep friends

Aptness I have to be troubled at any
thing that crosses me

Archbishop is a wencher, and known to
be so

As much his friend as his interest will
let him

As very a gossip speaking of her
neighbours as any body

As all other women, cry, and yet talk
of other things

As he called it, the King's seventeenth
whore abroad

As all things else did not come up to
my expectations

Asleep, while the wench sat mending my
breeches by my bedside

At least 12 or 14,000 people in the
street (to see the hanging)

At a loss whether it will be better for
me to have him die

Badge of slavery upon the whole people
(taxes)

Baker's house in Pudding Lane, where
the late great fire begun

Baseness and looseness of the Court

Bath at the top of his house

Beare-garden

Because I would not be over sure of any
thing

Before I sent my boy out with them, I
beat him for a lie

Begun to smell, and so I caused it to
be set forth (corpse)

Being there, and seeming to do
something, while we do not

Being cleansed of lice this day by my
wife

Being very poor and mean as to the
bearing with trouble

Being taken with a Psalmbook or
Testament

Below what people think these great
people say and do

Best fence against the Parliament's
present fury is delay

Better now than never

Bewailing the vanity and disorders of
the age

Bite at the stone, and not at the hand
that flings it

Bleeding behind by leeches will cure
him

Bold to deliver what he thinks on every
occasion

Book itself, and both it and them not
worth a turd

Bookseller's, and there looked for
Montaigne's Essays

Bottle of strong water; whereof now and
then a sip did me good

Bought for the love of the binding
three books

Bought Montaigne's Essays, in English

Bowling-ally (where lords and ladies
are now at bowles)

Boy up to-night for his sister to teach
him to put me to bed

Bring me a periwig, but it was full of
nits

Bringing over one discontented man, you
raise up three

Bristol milk (the sherry) in the vaults

Broken sort of people, that have not
much to lose

Burned it, that it might not be among
my books to my shame

Business of abusing the Puritans begins
to grow stale

But a woful rude rabble there was, and
such noises

But so fearful I am of discontenting my
wife

But I think I am not bound to discover
myself

But we were friends again as we are
always

But this the world believes, and so let
them

But if she will ruin herself, I cannot
help it

But my wife vexed, which vexed me

Buy some roll-tobacco to smell to and
chaw

Buying up of goods in case there should
be war

Buying his place of my Lord Barkely

By his many words and no understanding,
confound himself

By chewing of tobacco is become very
fat and sallow

By and by met at her chamber, and there
did what I would

By her wedding-ring, I suppose he hath
married her at last

Called at a little ale-house, and had
an eele pye

Came to bed to me, but all would not
make me friends

Cannot bring myself to mind my business

Cannot be clean to go so many bodies
together in the same water

Cast stones with his horne crooke

think, slipping her filly

Catched cold yesterday by putting off
my stockings

but by passion, and faction

it.

My head was not well with the wine that
I drank to-day

worse should follow

Nothing in the world done with true
integrity

Nothing in it approaching that single
page in St. Simon

God and the King

mere envy and design

the cellars)

the Clerk of the Acts place

English

The world do not grow old at all

The ceremonies did not please me, they
do so overdo them

The rest did give more, and did believe
that I did so too

Thence by coach, with a mad coachman,
that drove like mad

Thence to Mrs. Martin's, and did what I
would with her

There is no passing but by coach in the
streets, and hardly that

There eat and drank, and had my
pleasure of her twice

There did 'tout ce que je voudrais
avec' her

There setting a poor man to keep my
place

There is no man almost in the City
cares a turd for him

There being ten hanged, drawn, and
quartered

service abroad

These Lords are hard to be trusted

They were so false spelt that I was
ashamed of them

They want where to set their feet, to
begin to do any thing

This day churched, her month of
childbed being out

This absence makes us a little strange
instead of more fond

This week made a vow to myself to drink
no wine this week

This day I began to put on buckles to
my shoes

This unhappinesse of ours do give them
heart

This kind of prophane, mad
entertainment they give themselves

Those absent from prayers were to pay a
forfeit

Those bred in the North among the
colliers are good for labour

Though he knows, if he be not a fool,
that I love him not

Thus it was my chance to see the King
beheaded at White Hall

Tied our men back to back, and thrown
them all into the sea

To Mr. Holliard's in the morning,
thinking to be let blood

To be enjoyed while we are young and
capable of these joys

To see Major-general Harrison hanged,
drawn; and quartered

To the Swan and drank our morning draft

To see the bride put to bed

Too much of it will make her know her
force too much

Took physique, and it did work very
well

Tory—The term was not used politically
until about 1679

Tried the effect of my silence and not
provoking her

Trouble, and more money, to every
Watch, to them to drink

Troubled me, to see the confidence of
the vice of the age

Trumpets were brought under the
scaffold that he not be heard

Turn out every man that will be drunk,
they must turn out all

Two shops in three, if not more,
generally shut up

Uncertainty of all history

Uncertainty of beauty

Unless my too-much addiction to
pleasure undo me

Unquiet which her ripping up of old
faults will give me

Up, leaving my wife in bed, being sick
of her months

Up, finding our beds good, but lousy;
which made us merry

Up and took physique, but such as to go
abroad with

Upon a very small occasion had a
difference again broke out

Venison-pasty that we have for supper
to-night to the cook's

Very angry we were, but quickly friends
again

Very great tax; but yet I do think it
is so perplexed

Vexed at my wife's neglect in leaving
of her scarf

Vexed me, but I made no matter of it,
but vexed to myself

Vices of the Court, and how the pox is
so common there

Voyage to Newcastle for coles

Waked this morning between four and
five by my blackbird

Was kissing my wife, which I did not
like

We are to go to law never to revenge,
but only to repayre

We had a good surloyne of rost beefe

Weary of it; but it will please the
citizens
Weather being very wet and hot to keep
meat in.

What way a man could devise to lose so
much in so little time

What I said would not hold water

What I had writ foule in short hand

What they all, through profit or fear,
did promise

What a sorry dispatch these great
persons give to business

What is there more to be had of a woman
than the possessing her

Where money is free, there is great
plenty

Where I find the worst very good

Where a piece of the Cross is

Where a trade hath once been and do
decay, it never recovers

Where I expect most I find least
satisfaction

Wherein every party has laboured to
cheat another

Which he left him in the lurch

Which I did give him some hope of,
though I never intend it

Whip this child till the blood come, if
it were my child!

Whip a boy at each place they stop at
in their procession

Who is the most, and promises the
least, of any man

Who we found ill still, but he do make
very much of it

Who must except against every thing and
remedy nothing

Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be
seen with him

Willing to receive a bribe if it were
offered me

Wine, new and old, with labells pasted
upon each bottle

Wise man's not being wise at all times

Wise men do prepare to remove abroad
what they have

With much ado in an hour getting a
coach home

With a shower of hail as big as walnuts

Wonders that she cannot be as good
within as she is fair without

World sees now the use of them for
shelter of men (fore-castles)

Would make a dogg laugh

Would either conform, or be more wise,
and not be catched!

Would not make my coming troublesome to
any

Wretch, n., often used as an expression
of endearment

Wronged by my over great expectations

Ye pulling down of houses, in ye way of
ye fire

Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit https://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate


Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.


Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.


Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
