Thence to Deptford, and in to Mr. Evelyn's, which is a most
beautiful place; [Says-Court, the well-known residence of John
Evelyn, Esq.] but it being dark and late, I staid not; but Dean
Wilkins and Mr. Hooke and I, walked to Redriffe; and noble
discourse all day long did please me.
3rd. My Lord Chief-Justice Hide did die suddenly this week, a
day or two ago, of an apoplexy.
5th. After dinner, to Mr. Evelyn's; he being abroad, we walked
in his garden, and a lovely noble ground he hath indeed. And
among other rarities, a hive of bees, so as being hived in glass,
you may see the bees making their honey and combs mighty
pleasantly.
10th. To the Cocke-pitt, where the Duke did give Sir W. Batten
and me an account of the late taking of eight ships, and of his
intent to come back to the Gunfleete with the fleet presently;
which creates us much work and haste therein, against the fleet
comes. And thence to the Guard in Southwarke, there to get some
soldiers, by the Duke's order, to go keep pressmen on board our
ships.
14th.
