This afternoon, going into the office, one
met me and did serve a subpoena upon me for one Field, whom we
did commit to prison the other day for some ill words he did give
the office. The like he had for others, but we shall scoure him
for it.
5th. To the Playhouse, and there saw "Rule a wife and have a
Wife;" [A comedy by J. Fletcher.] very well done. And here also
I did look long upon my Lady Castlemaine, who, notwithstanding
her sickness, continues a great beauty.
7th. I hear the prisoners in the Tower that are to die are come
to the Parliament-house this morning. To the Wardrobe to dinner
with my Lady; where a civitt cat, parrot, apes, and many other
things, are come from my Lord by Captain Hill, who dined with my
Lady with us to-day. Thence to the Paynter's, and am well
pleased with our pictures.
10th. To Paul's Church-yard, and there I met with Dr. Fuller's
"England's Worthys," the first time that I ever saw it; and so I
sat down reading in it; being much troubled that (though he had
some discourse with me about my family and armes) he says nothing
at all, nor mentions us either in Cambridgeshire or Norfolke.
