19 November 1685 – 25 November 1685

The Parliament was adjourned to February, several both of Lords and Commons excepting against some passage of his Majesty's speech relating to the Test, and continuance of Popish officers in command. This was a great surprise in a Parliament which people believed would have complied in all things. Popish pamphlets and pictures sold publicly; no books nor answers to them appearing till long after.

I resigned my trust for composing a difference between Mr. Thynn and his wife.

Hitherto was a very wet, warm season.
