23rd. To the Bull in Bishopsgate-street; and, there about six
took coach, and so away to Bishop's Stafford, [Bishop Stortford,

passed. After dinner to Cambridge, about nine at night: and
there I met my father's horses.
24th. We set out by three o'clock to Brampton. Here I saw my
brother and sister Jackson. After dinner my Lady Sandwich
sending to see whether I was come, I presently took horse, and

Lady, and my Lady Hinchingbroke, and Paulina, and Lord
Hinchingbroke.
25th. To Cambridge, the waters not being now so high as before.

Magdalene College; and there into the butterys as a stranger, and

Mulliner over-against the College, that we used to buy stewed

very few, only Mr.
