(Lord's day).  To White Hall chapel, where I got in with ease by going before the Lord Chancellor with Mr. Kipps.  Here I heard very good music, the first time that ever I remember to have heard the organs and singing-men in surplices in my life.1 The Bishop of Chichester preached before the King, and made a great flattering sermon, which I did not like that Clergy should meddle with matters of state.  Dined with Mr. Luellin and Salisbury at a cook's shop. Home, and staid all the afternoon with my wife till after sermon.  There till Mr. Fairebrother came to call us out to my father's to supper.  He told me how he had perfectly procured me to be made Master in Arts by proxy, which did somewhat please me, though I remember my cousin Roger Pepys was the other day persuading me from it.  While we were at supper came Win. Howe to supper to us, and after supper went home to bed.
