Necessary, and yet the peace is so bad in its terms

Never laughed so in all my life. I laughed till my head ached

Never, while he lives, truckle under any body or any faction

Never to trust too much to any man in the world

Never was known to keep two mistresses in his life (Charles II.)

Never could man say worse himself nor have worse said

New Netherlands to English rule, under the title of New York

No Parliament can, as he says, be kept long good

No manner of means used to quench the fire

No pleasure--only the variety of it

No money to do it with, nor anybody to trust us without it

No man is wise at all times

No man was ever known to lose the first time

No man knowing what to do, whether to sell or buy

No sense nor grammar, yet in as good words that ever I saw

No good by taking notice of it, for the present she forbears

Nonconformists do now preach openly in houses

None will sell us any thing without our personal security given

Nor would become obliged too much to any

Nor will yield that the Papists have any ground given them

Nor was there any pretty woman that I did see, but my wife

Nor offer anything, but just what is drawn out of a man

Not well, and so had no pleasure at all with my poor wife

Not eat a bit of good meat till he has got money to pay the men

Not the greatest wits, but the steady man

Not when we can, but when we list

Not to be censured if their necessities drive them to bad

Not more than I expected, nor so much by a great deal as I ought
