But they will certainly be very
noble; and I am mightily pleased to have the fortune to see this
man and his work, which is very famous. And he a very civil
little man, and lame, but lives very handsomely. So thence to my
Lord Bellasses, and met him within: my business only to see a
chimney-piece of Dancres doing in distemper, with egg to keep off
the glaring of the light, which I must have done for my room: and
indeed it is pretty, but I must confess I do think it is not
altogether so beautiful as the oyle pictures; but I will have
some of one and some of another. So to the King's playhouse,
thinking to have seen. "The Heyresse," first acted on Saturday
last: but when we come thither we find no play there; Kinaston,
that did act a part therein in abuse to Sir Charles Sedley, being
last night exceedingly beaten with sticks by two or three that
saluted him, so as he is mightily bruised and forced to keep his
bed.
2nd. To dinner at noon, where I find Mr. Sheres; and there made
a short dinner, and carried him with us to the King's playhouse,
where "The Heyresse," notwithstanding Kinaston's being beaten, is
acted: and they say the King is very angry with Sir Charles
Sedley for his being beaten, but he do deny it.
