Friday 8 June 1660

Out early, took horses at Deale.  I troubled much with the King's gittar, and Fairbrother, the rogue that I intrusted with the carrying of it on foot, whom I thought I had lost.  Col. Dixwell's horse taken by a soldier and delivered to my Lord, and by him to me to carry to London. Came to Canterbury, dined there.  I saw the minster and the remains of Becket's tomb.  To Sittingborne and Rochester.  At Chatham and Rochester the ships and bridge.  Mr. Hetly's mistake about dinner.  Come to Gravesend.  A good handsome wench I kissed, the first that I have seen a great while.  Supped with my Lord, drank late below with Penrose, the Captain.  To bed late, having first laid out all my things against to-morrow to put myself in a walking garb.  Weary and hot to bed to Mr. Moore.
