At a loss whether it will be better for me to have him die

Badge of slavery upon the whole people (taxes)

Baker's house in Pudding Lane, where the late great fire begun

Baseness and looseness of the Court

Bath at the top of his house

Beare-garden

Because I would not be over sure of any thing

Before I sent my boy out with them, I beat him for a lie

Begun to smell, and so I caused it to be set forth (corpse)

Being there, and seeming to do something, while we do not

Being cleansed of lice this day by my wife

Being very poor and mean as to the bearing with trouble

Being taken with a Psalmbook or Testament

Below what people think these great people say and do

Best fence against the Parliament's present fury is delay

Better now than never

Bewailing the vanity and disorders of the age

Bite at the stone, and not at the hand that flings it

Bleeding behind by leeches will cure him

Bold to deliver what he thinks on every occasion

Book itself, and both it and them not worth a turd

Bookseller's, and there looked for Montaigne's Essays

Bottle of strong water; whereof now and then a sip did me good

Bought for the love of the binding three books

Bought Montaigne's Essays, in English

Bowling-ally (where lords and ladies are now at bowles)

Boy up to-night for his sister to teach him to put me to bed

Bring me a periwig, but it was full of nits
