Fire grow; and, as it grew darker, appeared more and more

First time that ever I heard the organs in a cathedral

First their apes, that they may be afterwards their slaves

First thing of that nature I did ever give her (L10 ring)

First time I had given her leave to wear a black patch

Fixed that the year should commence in January instead of March

Fool's play with which all publick things are done

For my quiet would not enquire into it

For, for her part, she should not be buried in the commons

For a land-tax and against a general excise

For I will not be inward with him that is open to another

For I will be hanged before I seek to him, unless I see I need

Force a man to swear against himself

Forced to change gold, 8s. 7d.; servants and poor, 1s. 6d.

Forgetting many things, which her master beat her for

Formerly say that the King was a bastard and his mother a whore

Found my brother John at eight o'clock in bed, which vexed me

Found him a fool, as he ever was, or worse

Found him not so ill as I thought that he had been ill

Found in my head and body about twenty lice, little and great

Found to be with child, do never stir out of their beds

Found guilty, and likely will be hanged (for stealing spoons)

France, which is accounted the best place for bread

Frequent trouble in things we deserve best in

Frogs and many insects do often fall from the sky, ready formed

From some fault in the meat to complain of my maid's sluttery

Gadding abroad to look after beauties

Galileo's air thermometer, made before 1597
