26 July 1649 – 1 August 1649

At three in the afternoon we came to St. Denis, saw the rarities of the church and treasury; and so to Paris that evening. The next day, came to welcome me at dinner the Lord High Treasurer Cottington, Sir Edward Hyde, Chancellor, Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State, Sir George Carteret, Governor of Jersey, and Dr. Earle, having now been absent from my wife above a year and a half.
