As Happy A Man As

Strange To See How A Good Dinner And Feasting Reconciles Everybody.

I Went Out To Charing Cross To See Major General Harrison Hanged, Drawn, And Quartered; Which Was Done There, He Looking As Cheerful As Any Man Could In That Condition.

Thanks Be To God, Since My Leaving Drinking Of Wine, I Do Find Myself Much Better, And Do Mind My Business Better, And Do Spend Less Money, And Less Time Lost In Idle Company.

I Do Still See That My Nature Is Not To Be Quite Conquered, But Will Esteem Pleasure Above All Things, Though Yet In The Middle Of It, It Has Reluctances After My Business, Which Is Neglected By My Following My Pleasure. However Musique And Women I Cannot But Give Way To, Whatever My Business Is.

And It Is A Wonder What Will Be The Fashion After The Plagueisdoneastoperiwigs, Fornobody Will Daretobuy Any Haire For Fear Of The Infectionthat It Had Been Cut Off The Heads Of People Dead Of The Plague.
