4th. Comes our company to dinner; my Lord Brouncker, Sir W. Pen,
his lady, and Peg, [Their daughter.] and her servant, Mr.
Lowther [[Anthony Lowther, Esq., of Marske, Co. York, Ob. 1692.].
At night to sup, and then to cards, and last of all to have a
flaggon of ale and apples, drunk out of a wood cup, as a
Christmas draught, which made all merry; and they full of
admiration at my plate. Mr. Lowther a pretty gentleman, too good
for Peg. Sir W. Pen was much troubled to hear the song I sung,
"The New Droll," it touching him home.
5th. With my wife to the Duke's house, and there saw
"Mustapha," [A tragedy, by Roger Earl of Orrery.] a most
excellent play.
6th. Young Michell and I, it being an excellent frosty day, did
walk out. He showed me the baker's house in Pudding-lane, where
the late great fire begun: and thence all along Thames-street,
where I did view several places, and so up by London Wall by
Blackfriars to Ludgate; and thence to Bridewell, which I find to
have been heretofore an extraordinary good house, and a fine
coming to it before the house by the bridge was built.
