Question for people that know Pepys diary on "The coronation day of charles II"?

Question

Based on Pepy's diary entry for "the coronation of charles II," was he or was he not a supporter of the restoration of the monarchy?

Please help me out with this. I've read it over and over and I still can't find the answer to it.

THANKS!

Answer 1

I vote for supporter.  Obviously his description of the coronation ceremony is lush and full of such detail about the participants -- he refers to the blessing of the day and God.  He is disappointed not to be able to see the actual crowning.  

And more telling -- Pepys was himself one of the Barons of the Cinque Ports at the Coronation of James II.
