Thence by water to the Wardrobe
(meeting the King upon the water going in his barge to adjourne
the House) where I dined with my Lady.
AUGUST 2, 1661. I made myself ready to get a-horseback for
Cambridge.
3rd. At Cambridge. Mr. Pechell, [John Pechell, made Master of
Magdalene College, Cambridge, 1679.] Sanchy, and others tell me
how high the old doctors are in the University over those they
found there, though a great deal better scholars than themselves;
for which I am very sorry, and, above all, Dr. Gunning. At night
I took horse, and rode with Roger Pepys and his two brothers to
Impington.
4th. To church, and had a good plain sermon. At our coming in
the country-people all rose with so much reverence; and when the
parson begins, he begins, "Right worshipfull and dearly beloved"
to us. To church again, and, after supper, to talk about
publique matters, wherein Roger Pepys told me how basely things
had been carried in Parliament by the young men, that did labour
to oppose all things that were moved by serious men. That they
are the most prophane swearing fellows that ever he heard in his
life, which makes him think that they will spoil all, and bring
things into a warr again if they can.
