18th. Walking it to the Temple, and in my way observe that the
stockes are now pulled quite down: and it will make the coming
into Cornhill and Lumber-street mighty noble. I stopped too at;
Paul's, and there did go into St. Fayth's church, and also in the
body of the west part of the church; and do see a hideous sight
of the walls of the church ready to fall, that I was in fear as
long as I was in it; and here I saw the great vaults underneath
the body of the church. No hurt, I hear, is done yet, since
their going to pull down the church and steeple; but one man, one
Mound, this week fell from the top of the roof of the east end
that stands next the steeple, and there broke himself all to
pieces. It is pretty here to see how the late church was but a
case wrought over the old church; for you may see the very old
pillars standing whole within the wall of this. When I come to
St. James's, I find the Duke of York gone with the King to see
the muster of the Guards in Hide Park; and their Colonell, the
Duke of Monmouth, to take his command this day of the King's
Life-guard, by surrender of my Lord Gerard.
