22nd. We come to Gilford.
23rd. Up early, and to Petersfield; and thence got a countryman
to guide us by Havant, to avoid going through the Forest; but he
carried us much out of the way. I lay at Wiard's, the
chyrurgeon's, in Portsmouth.
24th. All of us to the Pay-house; but the books not being ready,
we went to church to the lecture, where there was my Lord Ormond
and Manchester, and much London company, though not so much as I
expected. Here we had a very good sermon upon this text: "In
love serving one another;" which pleased me very well. No news
of the Queene at all. So to dinner; and then to the Pay all the
afternoon. Then W. Pen and I walked to the King's Yard.
26th. Sir George and I, and his clerk Mr. Stephens, and Mr. Holt
our guide, over to Gosport; and so rode to Southampton. In our
way, besides my Lord Southampton's parks and lands, which in one
viewe we could see 6000l. per annum, [Tichfield House, erected by
Sir Thomas Wriothesley, on the site of an Abbey of
Premonstratenses, granted to him with their estates, 29th Henry
VIII.
