Up betimes and to my office, leaving my wife in bed to take her physique, myself also not being out of some pain today by some cold that I have got by the sudden change of the weather from hot to cold.
This day is five years since it pleased God to preserve me at my being cut of the stone, of which I bless God I am in all respects well. Only now and then upon taking cold I have some pain, but otherwise in very good health always.
But I could not get my feast to be kept today as it used to be, because of my wife’s being ill and other disorders by my servants being out of order.
