I did this night promise my wife never to go to bed without calling upon God, upon my knees, in prayer.
Music and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Strange, to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition, every man and wife gazing and smiling at them.
I went out to Charing Cross to see Major General Harrison hanged, drawn, and quartered; which was done there, he looking as cheerful as any man could in that condition.
Thanks be to God. Since my leaving the drinking of wine, I do find myself much better, and do mind my business better, and do spend less money, and less time lost in idle company.
Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.
