Sir William and I walked into the Parke, where the King
hath planted trees and made steps in the hill up to the Castle,
which is very magnificent. So up and down the house, which is
now repayring in the Queens's lodgings.
13th. To Grayes Inn walkes; and there met Mr. Pickering. His
discourse most about the pride of the Duchesse of York; and how
all the ladies envy my Lady Castlemaine. He intends to go to
Portsmouth to meet the Queene this week; which is now the
discourse and expectation of the towne.
15th. With my wife, by coach, to the New Exchange, to buy her
some things; where we saw some new-fashion pettycoats of
sarcenett, with a black broad lace printed round the bottom and
before, very handsome, and my wife had a mind to one of them.
19th. This morning, before we sat, I went to Aldgate; and at the
corner shop, a draper's, I stood, and, did see Barkestead, Okey,
and Corbet, drawne towards the gallows at Tyburne; and there they
were hanged and quartered. They all looked very cheerful; but I
hear they all die defending what they did to the King to be just;
which is very strange.
