During a single day in the 1680's William Penn, famous for giving us Pennsylvania, attended two public executions in London: a beheading at the Tower and a nasty business with rope and knives at Tyburn two miles away. Macaulay, writing ''The History of England,'' concluded from this and Penn's other eyewitness accounts of capital punishments that pacific Quakerism could not blunt his taste for the theater of scaffold and headsman's ax. Stomaching a double feature would surely take an aficionado, but - face it - all of us like a bit of diversion now and then. England today provides very little. It is, as somebody once said of Richmond, Va., ''a hotbed of social rest.''

News Analysis

The sharp criticism of the United States made yesterday by Yuri V. Andropov has raised the question whether Moscow has given up trying to work with the Reagan Administration because of what the Kremlin sees as intense hostility. ''Even if someone had any illusions as to the possible evolution for the better in the policy of the present American Administration,'' the Soviet leader said, ''the latest developments have finally dispelled them.'' A number of State Department officials have been voicing concern that the United States may have pressed its own attacks against the Soviet Union too far. Two officials, in particular, quoted Secretary of State George P. Shultz as having said that criticism of the Kremlin after the South Korean airliner incident might have brought unintended consequences.

The Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee has tentatively approved funds for the next fiscal year for several of the Defense Department's most controversial weapon programs. They include the MX intercontinental missile, the Pershing 2 intermediate missile and the B-1 bomber. The approval was given over the last two weeks as the 12-member subcommittee worked in closed session on the Reagan Administration's request for an appropriation of almost $200 billion in military spending for the fiscal year 1984, which begins Oct. 1.

GERMANS AGHAST AS G.I.'S SIMULATE MASS BURIALS

For more than a year the Reagan Administration's international public relations specialists have been trying to persuade West Germans that Washington considers a limited nuclear war unthinkable. This carefully nurtured effort to undo the damaging impact of the Administration's early, casual talk about limiting a nuclear war to Europe took a jolt Friday in the pages of Stars and Stripes, a daily newspaper that calls itself an ''authorized unofficial publication of the U.S. armed forces.'' The story on page 9 by Bob Wood, a staff reporter, started innocently enough, ''There were no flowers, few mourners and little ceremony Tuesday as members of Hanau's 26th Supply and Services Co. trained for the task of burying American service members.'' The headline that ran across the top of the page was more arresting: ''Unit Practices Mass Burial Procedures.'' Two photographs showed American soldiers and the bulldozed grave containing ''the body of a simulated casualty.''

REAGAN PROMISES HE WILL CONSULT ON MARINES' ROLE

President Reagan promised today that he would ''seek Congressional authorization'' for any ''substantial expansion'' in the size or mission of the Marine contingent in Lebanon. In a letter to Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., the Speaker of the House, Mr. Reagan also said that if he felt the Marines were still needed in Lebanon 18 months from now he would ''work together with Congress'' to find ''mutually acceptable terms'' for continuing the deployment. With the letter, the President was trying to put out a brush fire of criticism that was set last week when Secretary of State George P. Shultz testified on legislation now before Congress to put the War Powers Resolution into effect in Lebanon and authorize the Marine presence for an additional 18 months. Under repeated questioning, Mr. Shultz said the President would not acknowledge the right of Congress under the war powers legislation to limit his powers as Commander in Chief.
