Pepys Diary .
February 15, 1661. At the office all the morning, and in the afternoon at making up my accounts for my Lord to-morrow; and that being done I found myself to be clear (as I think) £350 in the world, besides my goods in my house and all things paid for. * February 17, 1661 (Lord’s Day). A most tedious, unreasonable, and impertinent sermon, by an Irish Doctor. His text was “ Scatter them, O Lord, that delight in war.” Sir Wm. "Batten and I very much angry with the parson. February 18, 1661. At the office all the morning. In the afternoon my wife and I and Mrs Martha Batten, my Valentine, to the Exchange, and there upon a payre of embroydered and six payre of plain white gloves I laid out 40s upon her. And at night I got the whole company and Sir Wm. Pen home to my house, and there I did give them Rhenish wine and sugar, and continued together till it was late, and so to bed.
