Thence with Captain Cocke, whom I met there, to London, to my office, to consult about serving him in getting him some money, he being already tired of his slavery to my Lord Brouncker, and the charge it costs him, and gets no manner of courtesy from him for it. He gone I home to dinner, find the girl yet better, so no fear of being forced to send her out of doors as we intended. After dinner. I by water to Whitehall to a Committee for Tangier upon Mr. Yeabsly’s business, which I got referred to a Committee to examine. Thence among other stops went to my ruler’s house, and there stayed a great while with Nan idling away the afternoon with pleasure.
