Not thinking them safe men to receive such a gratuity

Not permit her begin to do so, lest worse should follow

Nothing in the world done with true integrity

Nothing in it approaching that single page in St. Simon

Nothing of the memory of a man, an houre after he is dead!

Nothing is to be got without offending God and the King

Nothing of any truth and sincerity, but mere envy and design

Now above six months since (smoke from the cellars)

Offer me L500 if I would desist from the Clerk of the Acts place

Offered to stop the fire near his house for such a reward

Officers are four years behind-hand unpaid

Once a week or so I know a gentleman must go . . . .

Opening his mind to him as of one that may hereafter be his foe

Ordered him L2000, and he paid me my quantum out of it

Ordered in the yarde six or eight bargemen to be whipped

Origin in the use of a plane against the grain of the wood

Out also to and fro, to see and be seen

Painful to keep money, as well as to get it

Parliament being vehement against the Nonconformists

Parliament hath voted 2s. per annum for every chimney in England

Parliament do agree to throw down Popery

Parson is a cunning fellow he is as any of his coat

Peace with France, which, as a Presbyterian, he do not like

Pen was then turned Quaker

Periwigg he lately made me cleansed of its nits

Peruques of hair, as the fashion now is for ladies to wear

Pest coaches and put her into it to carry her to a pest house

Petition against hackney coaches
