“Plate” here meaning “print from a copper plate”; but what is “the table to it”?
Bradford, L&M agree that's a good question! They suppose it to be a document; I suppose it to be a "table" describing the ship's rigging, masts, etc., in detail, and that this is another tool for learning (like the model Mr Anthony Deane furnished him after their lessons).
L&M say the 1637 copper plate engraving by John Payne (1608-1648) was the print of the ‘Sovereign of the Seas’ acquired by Pepys 31 January 1663, and hung by him in his Green Chamber 15 February. http://www.ingenious.org.uk/See/T…

"my manuscript is brought home handsomely bound, to my full content; and now I think I have a better collection in reference to the Navy, and shall have by the time I have filled it, than any of my predecessors."
Previously referred to as "sea manuscript", "Navy manuscript", "book manuscript", "manuscript book", "manuscript", and "Navy collections" -- though it did not survive, in a note to 9 January, 1663, L&M conjecture (shrewdly) that "it was a work of reference, with, e.g. lists of ships", perhaps the draft version of "the book of 'Naval Precedents' he made in retirement after 1688."
Hard to believe such inventories had not been routinely kept by the Navy Office given what Glyn has established about its provenance: http://www.pepysdiary.com/encyclo…

The toffs eat plenty, Sir Denis Gauden [the very name suggests it] sure that all is well, but the Navy elsewhere lack hardtack.
