Charles Barkeley's greatness is only his being pimp to the King

Chocolate was introduced into England about the year 1652

Church, where a most insipid young coxcomb preached

City to be burned, and the Papists to cut our throats

Clap of the pox which he got about twelve years ago

Clean myself with warm water; my wife will have me

Comb my head clean, which I found so foul with powdering

Come to see them in bed together, on their wedding-night

Come to us out of bed in his furred mittens and furred cap

Comely black woman.--[The old expression for a brunette.]

Coming to lay out a great deal of money in clothes for my wife

Commons, where there is nothing done but by passion, and faction

Compliment from my aunt, which I take kindly as it is unusual

Confidence, and vanity, and disparages everything

Confusion of years in the case of the months of January (etc.)

Consult my pillow upon that and every great thing of my life

Content as to be at our own home, after being abroad awhile

Contracted for her as if he had been buying a horse

Convenience of periwiggs is so great

Could not saw above 4 inches of the stone in a day

Counterfeit mirthe and pleasure with them, but had but little

Court is in a way to ruin all for their pleasures

Court attendance infinite tedious

Craft and cunning concerning the buying and choosing of horses

Credit of this office hath received by this rogue's occasion

Cruel custom of throwing at cocks on Shrove Tuesday

Cure of the King's evil, which he do deny altogether

Dare not oppose it alone for making an enemy and do no good
