So I
away home, and there bespeak a coach; and so home, and to bed.
6th. Waked betimes, and my wife at an hour's warning is resolved
to go with me; which pleases me, her readiness. But before ready
comes a letter from Fitzgerald, that he is seized upon last night
by a order of the General's by a file of musqueteers, and kept
prisoner ill his chamber. The Duke of York did tell me of it to-
day: it is about a quarrel between him and Witham, and they fear
a challenge. So I to him, and sent my wife by the coach round to
Lambeth, I lost my labour going to his lodgings; and he in bed:
and staying a great while for him I at last grew impatient, and
would stay no longer; but to St. James's to Mr. Wren, to bid him
"God be with you!" and so over the water to Fox Hall; and there
my wife and Deb. took me up, and we away to Gilford, losing our
way for three or four miles about Cobham. At Gilford we dined;
and I showed them the hospitall there of Bishop Abbot's, [George
Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury, Ob. 1633.] and his tomb in the
church; which, and the rest of the tombs there, are kept mighty
clean and neat, with curtains before them.
