8 January 1663 – 14 January 1663

I went to see my kinsman, Sir George Tuke's, comedy acted at the Duke's theater, which took so universally, that it was acted for some weeks every day, and it was believed it would be worth to the comedians £400 or £500. The plot was incomparable; but the language stiff and formal.

I saw a ball again at Court, danced by the King, the Duke, and ladies, in great pomp.
