At the office all the morning to get a little business done, Ihaving, and so the whole office, been put out of doing any business therefor this week by our trouble in attending the Parliament. Hither comes tome young Captain Beckford, the slopseller, and there presents me a littlepurse with gold in it, it being, as he told me, for his present to me, atthe end of the last year. I told him I had not done him any service Iknew of. He persisted, and I refused, but did at several denials; andtelling... him that it was not an age to take presents in, he told me he hadreason to present me with something, and desired me to accept of it, which, at his so urging me, I did, and so fell to talk of his business, and so parted. I do not know of any manner of kindness I have done himthis last year, nor did expect any thing. It was therefore very welcometo me, but yet I was not fully satisfied in my taking it, because of mysubmitting myself to the having it objected against me hereafter, and therather because this morning Jacke Fen come and shewed me an order from theCommissioners of Accounts, wherein they demand of him an account upon oathof all the sums of money that have been by him defalked or taken from anyman since their time, of enquiry upon any payments, and if this should, asit is to be feared, come to be done to us, I know not what I shall thendo, but I shall take counsel upon it.
