Quote 188 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

Met with Creed, and walked with him a turn or two in the park, but
without much content, having now designs of getting money in my
head, which allows me not the leisure I used to have with him.
Besides, and odde story lately told of him for a great truth, of
his endeavouring to lie with a woman at Oxford, and her crying out
saved her; and this being publicly known, doth a little make me
hate him.

Thence took coach, and calling by the way at my bookseller's for a
book, write about twenty years ago in prophecy of this year coming
on, 1666, explaining it to be the mark of the beast.
