23 janvier 1665 :

« Home to dinner ; and finding Mrs Bagwell waiting at the office after dinner, away elle and I to a cabaret where elle and I have été before ; and there I had her company toute l’après-dîner and had mon plain plaisir of elle – but strange, to see how a woman, notwithstanding her greatest pretences of love à son mari and religion, may be vaincue. […] So to my office a little ; but being minded to make an end of my pleasure today, that I might fallow my business, I did take coach and to Jerva’s again, thinking to avoir rencontré Jane ; mais elle n’etait pas dedans. So I back again and to my office, where I did with great content faire a vow to mind my business and laisser aller les femmes for a month ; and am with all my heart glad to find myself able to come to so good a resolution, that thereby I may fallow my business. »
