Hewer, my guard, to White Hall Up, my mind very light from my last night's accounts Up early and took my physique; it wrought all the morning well Up, finding our beds good, but lousy; which made us merry Up and took physique, but such as to go abroad with Upon a very small occasion had a difference again broke out Upon the leads gazing upon Diana Upon a small temptation I could be false to her Used to make coal fires, and wash my foul clothes Venison-pasty that we have for supper to-night to the cook's Very high and very foule words from her to me Very angry we were, but quickly friends again Very great tax; but yet I do think it is so perplexed Vexed at my wife's neglect in leaving of her scarf Vexed me, but I made no matter of it, but vexed to myself Vices of the Court, and how the pox is so common there Voyage to Newcastle for coles Waked this morning between four and five by my blackbird Wanton as ever she was, with much I made myself merry and away Was kissing my wife, which I did not like We having no luck in maids now-a-days We cannot tell what to do for want of her (the maid) We find the two young ladies come home, and their patches off We do nothing in this office like people able to carry on a warr We do naturally all love the Spanish, and hate the French We are to go to law never to revenge, but only to repayre We had a good surloyne of rost beefe Weary of it; but it will please the citizens Weary of the following of my pleasure Weather being very wet and hot to keep meat in. Wedding for which the posy ring was required Weeping to myself for grief, which she discerning, come to bed Weigh him after he had done playing Well enough pleased this morning with their night's lodging Went against me to have my wife and servants look upon them Went to bed with my head not well by my too much drinking to-day What way a man could devise to lose so much in so little time What I said would not hold water What I had writ foule in short hand What itching desire I did endeavour to see Bagwell's wife What wine you drinke, lett it bee at meales What people will do tomorrow What they all, through profit or fear, did promise What silly discourse we had by the way as to love-matters What a sorry dispatch these great persons give to business What is there more to be had of a woman than the possessing her Whatever I do give to anybody else, I shall give her When she least shews it hath her wit at work When he was seriously ill he declared himself a Roman Catholic When the candle is going out, how they bawl and dispute Where money is free, there is great plenty Where a pedlar was in bed, and made him rise Where I find the worst very good Where a piece of the Cross is Where a trade hath once been and do decay, it never recovers Where I expect most I find least satisfaction Wherein every party has laboured to cheat another Wherewith to give every body something for their pains Whether she suspected anything or no I know not Whether he would have me go to law or arbitracon with him Which may teach me how I make others wait Which he left him in the lurch Which I did give him some hope of, though I never intend it Whip this child till the blood come, if it were my child! Whip a boy at each place they stop at in their procession Who continues so ill as not to be troubled with business Who is the most, and promises the least, of any man Who we found ill still, but he do make very much of it Who must except against every thing and remedy nothing Who seems so inquisitive when my, house will be made an end of Who is over head and eares in getting her house up Whom, in mirth to us, he calls Antichrist Whom I find in bed, and pretended a little not well Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be seen with him Whose voice I am not to be reconciled Wife that brings me nothing almost (besides a comely person) Wife and the dancing-master alone above, not dancing but talking Will upon occasion serve for a fine withdrawing room Will put Madam Castlemaine's nose out of joynt Willing to receive a bribe if it were offered me Wine, new and old, with labells pasted upon each bottle Wise man's not being wise at all times Wise men do prepare to remove abroad what they have With much ado in an hour getting a coach home With hangings not fit to be seen with mine With egg to keep off the glaring of the light With my whip did whip him till I was not able to stir With a shower of hail as big as walnuts Without importunity or the contrary Woman that they have a fancy to, to make her husband a cuckold Woman with a rod in her hand keeping time to the musique Wonders that she cannot be as good within as she is fair without Work that is not made the work of any one man World sees now the use of them for shelter of men (fore-castles) Would make a dogg laugh Would either conform, or be more wise, and not be catched! Would not make my coming troublesome to any Wretch, n., often used as an expression of endearment Wronged by my over great expectations Ye pulling down of houses, in ye way of ye fire Yet let him remember the days of darkness Yet it was her fault not to see that I did take them Young man play the foole upon the doctrine of purgatory Young fellow, with his hat cocked like a fool behind
