Pepy's Diary. 22 Nov 1663. At chappell I had room in the Privy Seale pew with other gentlemen, and there heard Dr. Killigrew (age 50), preach, but my mind was so, I know not whether troubled, or only full of thoughts of what had passed between my Lord and me that I could not mind it, nor can at this hour remember three words. The anthem was good after sermon, being the fifty-first psalme, made for five voices by one of Captain Cooke's (age 47) boys, a pretty boy. And they say there are four or five of them that can do as much. And here I first perceived that the King (age 33) is a little musicall, and kept good time with his hand all along the anthem.
