15th (Lord’s day). Rose, and as I had intended without reference to this pain, took physic, and it wrought well with me, my wife lying from me tonight, the first time she did in the same house ever since we were married, I think (unless while my father was in town, that he lay with me). She took physic also today, and both of our physics wrought well, so we passed our time today, our physic having done working, with some pleasure talking, but I was not well, for I could make no water yet, but a drop or two with great pain, nor break any wind. In the evening came Mr. Vernatty to see me and discourse about my Lord Peterborough’s business, and also my uncle Wight and Norbury, but I took no notice nor showed any different countenance to my uncle Wight, or he to me, for all that he carried himself so basely to my wife the last week, but will take time to make my use of it. So, being exceeding hot, to bed, and slept well.
