There was a merchants daughter the other day Runn mad at sight of itt. Cla. It scared her from her witts: she thought the divell had haunted her. Suc. Valour deserves regard, myne shall propugne Your bewty gainst all opposers. Bel. Alasse! mine is so meane, None will contend with it, it needs no champions. Crac. Contemne me not, lady; I am Cla. A most egregious asse. Crac. Cla.
He assured Van der Spijck that if any attempt were made on the house he would leave it and face the mob, even if they should deal with him as they did with the unfortunate de Witts. He was a good republican as all knew. And those in high political authority knew the purpose of his journey. Fortunately, popular suspicion and anger dissipated this time without a sacrifice.
At noon dined, and with my wife to the King's house, but there found the bill torn down and no play acted, and so being in the humour to see one, went to the Duke of York's house, and there saw "The Witts" again, which likes me better than it did the other day, having much wit in it.

This was the first count against the De Witts their objection to a Stadtholder. The second count was that the De Witts had always done their best to keep at peace with France.

Then to bee foxd it is no crime, Since thickest and dull Braines It makes sublime. The Stillyards Reanish wine and Divells white, Who doth not in them sometimes take delight?
Heathcote, the De Witts, and Mr. Ketchum and Mabel looking earnestly at them and waving their adieux. "You'll find a couple of barrels of pecans at your place. I forgot to tell you. Good-by! good-by! Call again!" shouted Mr. Ketchum. And then, turning to his wife, he said, "Don't you wish you were going home, too?"
And, in our discourse, he was very forward to complain and to speak loud of the lewdnesse and beggary of the Court, which I am sorry to hear, and which I am afraid will bring all to ruin again. I to the Opera, and saw "The Witts" again, which I like exceedingly. 18th. To White Hall, and there hear that my Lord General Monk continues very ill; and then to walk in St.
Did little business with the Duke of York, and then Lord Brouncker and I to the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw "Love in a Tubb;" and, after the play done, I stepped up to Harris's dressing-room, where I never was, and there I observe much company come to him, and the Witts, to talk, after the play is done, and to assign meetings.
