Pepys’ Diary
June Bth, 1665. At the Goldsmiths I met with the great news at last newly come from the Duke of Yorke that wc have totally routed the Dutch; that the Duke himself, the Prince, my Lord Sandwich and Mr Coventry are all well, which did put me into such joy that I forgot almost all other thoughts. Thence with great joy to the Cockepitt, where the Dtike of Albemarle, like a man out of himself with content, new-told me all; and by and by comes a letter from Mr Coventry’s own hand to him. A great[er] victory never known in the world. They are all fled, some 43 got into the Texell and others elsewhere, and we in pursuit of the rest. Thence with my heart full of joy, home, and to my office a little.
