Friday 30 January 1663

A solemn fast for the King's murther, and we were forced to keep it more than we would have done, having forgot to take any victuals into the house.  I to church in the forenoon, and Mr. Mills made a good sermon upon David's heart smiting him for cutting off the garment of Saul.1 Home, and whiled away some of the afternoon at home talking with my wife. So to my office, and all alone making up my month's accounts, which to my great trouble I find that I am got no further than 640l..  But I have had great expenses this month.  I pray God the next may be a little better, as I hope it will.  In the evening my manuscript is brought home handsomely bound, to my full content; and now I think I have a better collection in reference to the Navy, and shall have by the time I have filled it, than any of my predecessors.  So home and eat something such as we have, bread and butter and milk, and so to bed.
