I to Sir Robert Viner's (age 34), where my main business was about settling the business of Debusty's £5000 tallys, which I did for the present to enable me to have some money, and so home, buying some things for my wife in the way.

And having taken a copy of my Lord's letter, I away back again to the Beare [Map] at the bridge foot, being full of wind and out of order, and there called for a biscuit and a piece of cheese and gill of sacke, being forced to walk over the Bridge [Map], toward the 'Change [Map], and the plague being all thereabouts.

Up betimes, and walked to the Temple [Map], and stopped, viewing the Exchange [Map], and Paul's, and St. Fayth's [Map], where strange how the very sight of the stones falling from the top of the steeple do make me sea-sick!
