And so after a glass or two of Sherrits sack, to my nuncheon and on to tha Krickett Ground where the Clubbe・ doth play against the King's Troops, or rather such of them as prefer not Golfe. And they do pretty badly, making but & hundred odd notches. But Lord, the Clubbe do far worse and in my disgust I am fain to stay my stomack with a many glasses of strong waters, until I do wash the taste of their naughty batting from my mouth. This night to Mr. 4. Stephen's lodgins with gifts for him and his Lady and a large bunch, of Mistletoe to boot, of which I do make full use. Later comes Mr.
