They cull the rags which are linen for white paper, woolen for brown; then they stamp them in troughs to a pap, with pestles, or hammers, like the powder mills, then put it into a vessel of water, in which they dip a frame closely wired with wire as small as a hair and as close as a weaver's reed; on this they take up the pap, the superfluous water draining through the wire; this they dexterously turning, shake out like a pancake on a smooth board between two pieces of flannel, then press it between a great press, the flannel sucking out the moisture; then, taking it out, they ply and dry it on strings, as they dry linen in the laundry; then dip it in alum water, lastly, polish and make it up in quires. They put some gum in the water in which they macerate the rags. The mark we find on the sheets is formed in the wire.

When I come thither, I find only Mr. Ward, who led me to Burgess's bedside, and Jack SpicerSpicer's, who, watching of the house, as it is their turns every night, did lie long in bed to-day, and I find nothing at all done in my business, which vexed me. But not seeing how to helpe it I did walk up and down with Mr. Ward to see the house; and by and by Jack SpicerSpicer and Edward FauconbergMr. Falconbrige come to me and he and I to a towne near by, Yowell [Map], there drink and set up my horses and also bespoke a dinner, and while that is dressing went with Jack SpicerSpicer and walked up and down the house and park; and a fine place it hath heretofore been, and a fine prospect about the house. A great walk of an elme and a walnutt set one after another in order. And all the house on the outside filled with figures of stories, and good painting of Rubens' or Holben's doing. And one great thing is, that most of the house is covered, I mean the posts, and quarters in the walls; covered with lead, and gilded. I walked into the ruined garden, and there found a plain little girle, kinswoman of Mr. Falconbridge, to sing very finely by the eare only, but a fine way of singing, and if I come ever to lacke a girle again I shall think of getting her.

John Evelyn's Diary April 1685John Evelyn's Diary. 8th April 1685. Being now somewhat compos'd after my greate affliction, I went to London to hear Archbishop Thomas Tenison 1636-1715Dr. Tenison [aged 48] (it being on a Wednesday in Lent) at Whitehall PalaceWhitehall [Map]. I observ'd that tho' the King James II of England Scotland and Ireland 1633-1701King [aged 51] was not in his seate above in the chapell, the Doctor made his three congees, which they were not us'd to do when the late King was absent, making then one bowing onely. I ask'd the reason; it was sayd he had a special order so to do. The OldenburgPrincesse of Denmark [aged 34] was in the King Charles II of England Scotland and Ireland 1630-1685King's Closet, but sat on the left hand of the chaire, the Bishop Thomas Sprat 1635-1713Clearke of the Closet [aged 50] standing by His Ma's chaire, as if he had ben present. I met the Catherine of Braganza Queen Consort England 1638-1705Queene Dowager [aged 46] going now first from Whitehall to dwell at Somerset HouseSomerset-house [Map]. This day my brother of Wotton and Richard Onslow 1st Baron Onslow 1654-1717Mr. Onslow [aged 30] were candidates for Surrey against Sr Adam Brown and my cousin Sr Edwd Evelyn, and were circumvented in their election by a trick of the Sheriff's taking advantage of my brother's party going out of the small village of Leatherhead [Map] to seek shelter and lodging, the afternoone being tempestuous, proceeding to the Election when they were gon; they expecting the next morning; whereas before and then they exceeded the other party by many hundreds, as I am assur'd.

For this Parliament, very meane and slight persons (some of them gentlemen's servants, clearkes, and persons neither of reputation nor interest) were set up, but the country would choose my brother whether he would or no, and he miss'd it by the trick above mentioned. Sr Adam Brown was so deafe that he could not heare one word. S1 Edw. Evelyn was an honest gent much in favour with his King Charles II of England Scotland and Ireland 1630-1685Majesty.
