Waked in the morning by one who when I asked who it was, he told me one from Bridewell, which proved Captain Holland.  I rose presently to him.  He is come to get an order for the setting out of his ship, and to renew his commission.  He tells me how every man goes to the Lord Mayor to set down their names, as such as do accept of his Majesty's pardon, and showed me a certificate under the Lord Mayor's hand that he had done so.
At sermon in the morning; after dinner into my cabin, to cast my accounts up, and find myself to be worth near 100l., for which I bless Almighty God, it being more than I hoped for so soon, being I believe not clearly worth 25l. when I came to sea besides my house and goods.  Then to set my papers in order, they being increased much upon my hands through want of time to put them in order.  The ship's company all this while at sermon. After sermon my Lord did give me instruction to write to London about business, which done, after supper to bed.
