Tuesday 10 November 1663

Up and to the office, where we sat till noon, and then to the Exchange, where spoke with several and had my head casting about how to get a penny and I hope I shall, and then home, and there Mr. Moore by appointment dined with me, and after dinner all the afternoon till night drawing a bond and release against to-morrow for T. Trice, and I to come to a conclusion in which I proceed with great fear and jealousy, knowing him to be a rogue and one that I fear has at this time got too great a hank --[hold]-- over me by the neglect of my lawyers. But among other things I am come to an end with Mr. Moore for a 32l., a good while lying in my hand of my Lord Privy Seal's which he for the odd 7l. do give me a bond to secure me against, and so I got 25l. clear. Then, he being gone, to the office and there late setting down yesterday's remarkable discourses, and so home and to supper, late, and to bed. The Queene, I hear, is now very well again, and that she hath bespoke herself a new gowne.
