10th (Lord's day). To church, where Mr. Mills made an
unnecessary sermon upon Original Sin, neither understood by
himself nor the people. Home, where come Mr. Carter, [Thomas
Carter, S.T.P. 1669.] my old acquaintance of Magdalene College,
who hath not been here of many years. He hath spent his time in
the country with the Bishop of Carlisle much. He is grown a very
comely person, and of good discourse, and one that I like very
much. We had much talk of all our old acquaintance of the
College, concerning their various fortunes; wherein, to my joy, I
met not with any that have sped better than myself. Mrs. Turner
do tell me very odde stories how Mrs. Williams do receive the
applications of people, and hath presents, and she is the hand
that receives all, while my Lord do the business.
12th. With my Lord Brouncker by coach to his house, there to
hear some Italian musique: and here we met Tom Killigrew, Sir
Robert Murray, and the Italian Signor Baptista, [Giovanni
Baptista Draghi, an Italian musician in the service of Queen
Catherine, and a composer of merit.
