John Evelyn's Diary. 12th June 1650. Being Trinity Sunday, the Dean of Peterborough (age 55) preached; after which there was an ordination of two divines, Durell and Brevent (the one was afterward Dean of Windsor, the other of Durham, both very learned persons). The Bishop of Galloway officiated with great gravity, after a pious and learned exhortation declaring the weight and dignity of their function, especially now in a time of the poor Church of England's affliction. He magnified the sublimity of the calling, from the object, viz, the salvation of men's souls, and the glory of God; producing many human instances of the transitoriness and vanity of all other dignity; that of all the triumphs the Roman conquerors made, none was comparable to that of our Blessed Savior's, when he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men, namely, that of the Holy Spirit, by which his faithful and painful ministers triumphed over Satan as often as they reduced a sinner from the error of his ways. He then proceeded to the ordination. They were presented by the Dean in their surplices before the altar, the Bishop sitting in a chair at one side; and so were made both Deacons and Priests at the same time, in regard to the necessity of the times, there being so few Bishops left in England, and consequently danger of a failure of both functions. Lastly, they proceeded to the Communion. This was all performed in Sir Richard Browne's (age 45) chapel, at Paris.

At noon to the Exchange [Map] and so home to dinner, and abroad with my wife by water to the Royall Theatre [Map]; and there saw "The Committee", a merry but indifferent play, only Lacey's part, an Irish footman, is beyond imagination. Here I saw my Lord Falconbridge (age 36), and his Lady, my Lady Mary Cromwell (age 26), who looks as well as I have known her, and well clad; but when the House began to fill she put on her vizard¹, and so kept it on all the play; which of late is become a great fashion among the ladies, which hides their whole face.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 12th June 1667. By and by, after dinner, my wife out by coach to see her mother; and I in another, being afraid, at this busy time, to be seen with a woman in a coach, as if I were idle, towards The. Turner's (age 15); but met Sir W. Coventry's (age 39) boy; and there in his letter find that the Dutch had made no motion since their taking Sheernesse [Map]; and the Duke of Albemarle (age 58) writes that all is safe as to the great ships against any assault, the boom and chaine being so fortified; which put my heart into great joy¹. When I come to Sir W: Coventry's chamber, I find him abroad; but his clerk, Powell, do tell me that ill newes is come to Court of the Dutch breaking the Chaine at Chatham, Kent [Map]; which struck me to the heart.

John Evelyn's Diary. 12th June 1684. I went to advise and give directions about the building two streetes in Berkeley Gardens, reserving the house and as much of the garden as the breadth of the house. In the meanetime I could not but deplore that sweete place (by far the most noble gardens, courts, and accommodations, stately porticos, &c. any where about the towne) should be so much straighten'd and turn'd Into tenements. But that magnificent pile and gardens contiguous to it, built by the late Lord Chancellor Clarendon, being all demolish'd, and design'd for Piazzas and buildings, was some excuse for my Baroness Berkeley's (age 30) resolution of letting out her ground also for so excessive a price as offer'd, advancing neere £1000 per in mere ground-rents; to such a mad intemperance was the age of building about a citty, by far too disproportionate already to the nation I having in my time seene it almost as large again as it was within my memory.

Transactions of the British Archaeological Association August 1845 Pages 192-195. On the 12th of June [1845] last, having been informed by Mr. Wain, the occupier, that one of his labourers had discovered, at the foot of Robin Hood's Stride, [Harthill Moor Barrow 1 [Map]] an urn inverted over a deposit of burnt bones; and that gentleman having most kindly and judiciously ordered them to stay proceedings till he had communicated the circumstance to me,—accompanied by the Rev. Stephen Isaacson, my fellow-labourer on so many interesting occasions, I proceeded to the spot, with the determination of making the most minute and careful investigation. After removing the pieces of the above-mentioned urn, which was of exceedingly rude workmanship, a cutting was made through the centre of the barrow, in which two most elaborately wrought urns, much broken, but since restored in the style exhibited in the accompanying illustration, were found, as well as a large deposit of burnt bones. On the south side of the centre of the barrow, our operations were obstructed by an immense stone, having all the appearance of natural rock, near the edge of which lay a considerable quantity of burnt bones, two rude instruments of flint, two most elegant cups, of novel form, and superior in style of ornament to any hitherto discovered, at least in Derbyshire, and which, in all probability, were used as incense cups, or on solemn Druidical festivals (see illustration). On continuing our researches, we discovered, at the edge of the large stone previously described, the top of another, erected edgeways, which at once convinced us, that we had fallen in with an extraordinarily large cist. This proved to be filled with fine sand, with which were mingled large quantities of calcined human bones, and some small pieces of urn; the whole having been originally laid on a bed of heather—a most singular, and, we believe, hitherto unheard of circumstance.
