["Jan. 30th was kept as a very solemn day of fasting and prayer.

This morning the carcases of Cromwell, Ireton, and Bradshaw (which

the day before had been brought from the Red Lion Inn, Holborn),

were drawn upon a sledge to Tyburn, and then taken out of their

coffins, and in their shrouds hanged by the neck, until the going

down of the sun. They were then cut down, their heads taken off,

and their bodies buried in a grave made under the gallows. The

coffin in which was the body of Cromwell was a very rich thing, very

full of gilded hinges and nails."—Rugge's Diurnal.]

31st. This morning with Mr. Coventry at Whitehall about getting a ship to carry my Lord's deals to Lynne, and we have chosen the Gift. Thence at noon to my Lord's, where my Lady not well, so I eat a mouthfull of dinner there, and thence to the Theatre, and there sat in the pit among the company of fine ladys, &c.; and the house was exceeding full, to see Argalus and Parthenia, the first time that it hath been acted: and indeed it is good, though wronged by my over great expectations, as all things else are. Thence to my father's to see my mother, who is pretty well after her journey from Brampton. She tells me my aunt is pretty well, yet cannot live long. My uncle pretty well too, and she believes would marry again were my aunt dead, which God forbid. So home.
