Men bag their hops; & house seed-clover.  A fern-owl plays round the Plestor.  As we were walking this day, Sept. 22nd: being the King’s coronation, on Nore-hill at one o’ the clock in the afternoon, we heard great guns on each side of us, viz. from the S. & from the N.E., which undoubtedly were the cannons of Portsmouth & Windsor: the former of which is at least 26 miles distant, & the latter 30.  If the guns heard from the N.E. were not from Windsor, they must be those of the Tower of London.
