I do find myself to become more and more thoughtful about getting of money than ever heretofore. - Samuel Pepys

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 do in that condition.

Up, and at my chamber all the morning and the office doing business, and also reading a little of L'escholle des filles, which is a mighty lewd book, but yet not amiss for a sober man once to read over to inform himself in the villainy of the world.

Musique and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
