17th. This morning (as indeed all the mornings now-a-days) much
business at my Lord's. There come to my house before I went out
Mr. Barlow, an old consumptive man, and fair conditioned. After
much talk, I did grant, him what he asked, viz. 50l. per annum,
if my salary be not increased, and 100l. per annum, in case it be
350l. at which he was very well pleased to be paid as I received
my money, and not otherwise, so I brought him to my Lord's and he
and I did agree together.
18th. This morning we met at the office: I dined at my house in
Seething Lane.
19th. We did talk of our old discourse when we did use to talk
of the King, in the time of the Rump, privately; after that to
the Admiralty Office, in White Hall, where I staid and writ my
late observations for these four days last past. Great talk of
the difference between the Episcopal and Presbyterian Clergy,
but I believe it will come to nothing.
22nd. After dinner to White Hall, where I find my Lord at home,
and walked in the garden with him, he showing me all respect.
