On this day did I fulfill the first of my services as a vassal unto ye Crowns, spending the first hours of the morning attending vnto ye watch. The weather continues hot and still, and many who do attend ye Crowns of ye New Kingdoms at this time do attyre themselves in ways that do not befit their degrees. Yet I can cast no fault vpon ym for it is so unseemly hot and uncommon dry, and better yt they wear ye dress of the Kingdoms of Persia than they fall to the sweating sickness.
