7th. This morning, news was brought to me to my bed-side, that
there had been a great stir in the City this night by the
Fanatiques, who had been up and killed six or seven men, but all
are fled. My Lord Mayor and the whole City had been in armes,
above 40,000. Tom and I and my wife to the Theatre, and there
saw "The Silent Woman." Among other things here, Kinaston the boy
had the good turn to appear in three shapes: first, as a poor
woman in ordinary clothes, to please Morose; then in fine
clothes, as a gallant; and in them was clearly the prettiest
woman in the whole house: and lastly, as a man; and then
likewise did appear the handsomest man in the house. In our way
home we were in many places strictly examined, more than in the
worst of times, there being great fears of the Fanatiques rising
again: for the present I do not hear that any of them are taken.
8th. Some talk to-day of a head of Fanatiques that do appear
about, but I do not believe it. However, my Lord Mayor, Sir
Richd. Browne, hath carried himself honourably, and hath caused
one of their meeting-houses in London to be pulled down.
