This day I attended upon Sir R. W. who was up betimes and in our trenches with Sir T. B. and when the gates opened Hallot his men had some skirmishing with the enemy and we did second them with fire from our hagabushers but he seemeth to have not a stomach for overmuch of a fight as I think he licketh still his wounds of the other day; by and by comes the King to our quarter to view the grounds and spake with Sir R. W. and later quitting the trenches we did return to our camp and I with Sir R. W. to his quarters and there I and several other did sup with him and had much good cider and songs as well, into the evening and so I rather besotted with drink and tipsy home to my straw wishing that I did have another beside me this night.
Coningsby attests to Sir Roger being in the trenches early with Sir T. B. (Sir Thomas Baskerville) and to the visit of the King. Luke’s overindulgence is his own affair!
