He That Will Not Stoop For A

I Did This Night Promise My Wife Never To Go To Bed Without Calling Upon God, Upon My Knees, In Prayer.

Find Myself £43 Worse Than I Was The Last Month ... Chiefly Arisen From My Layings-out In Clothes For Myself And Wife; Viz., For Her, About £12, And For Myself, £55 Or Thereabouts.

My Wife, Who, Poor Wretch, Is Troubled With Her Lonely Life.

Thanks Be To God, Since My Leaving Drinking Of Wine, I Do Find Myself Much Better, And Do Mind My Business Better, And Do Spend Less Money, And Less Time Lost In Idle Company.

Now Public Business Takes Up So Much Of My Time That I Must Get Time A Sundays Or A Nights To Look After My Own Matters.
