Warren. Vexed only at their denial of a
copy of what I set my hand to and swore. To an alehouse: met
Mr. Pierce the surgeon, and Dr. Clerke, Waldron, [Thomas Waldron,
of Baliol College; created M.D. at Oxford 1653; afterwards
Physician in Ordinary to Charles II.] Turberville my physician
for the eyes, and Lowre, [Probably Richard Lower, of Christ
Church; admitted Bachelor of Physic at Oxford 1665.] to dissect
several eyes of sheep and oxen, with great pleasure and to my
great information. But strange that this Turberville should be
so great a man, and yet to this day had seen no eyes dissected,
or but once, but desired this Dr. Lowre to give him the
opportunity to see him dissect some.
4th. Up, and to see Sir W. Coventry, and give him an account of
my doings yesterday; which he well liked of, and was told thereof
by my Lord Halifax before; but I do perceive he is much concerned
for this business. Gives me advice to write a smart letter to
the Duke of York about the want of money in the Navy, and desire
him to communicate it to the Commissioners of the Treasury; for
he tells me he hath hot work sometimes to contend with the rest
for the Navy, they being all concerned for some other part of the
King's expenses, which they would prefer to this of the Navy.
