| Astrologer and physician, born in London, UK. He studied at Cambridge, and in 1640 began to practise astrology and medicine in Spitalfields. In 1649 he published an English translation of the College of Physicians' Pharmacopoeia, A Physical Directory, for which he was virulently lampooned, and in 1653 appeared The English Physician Enlarged, or the Herbal. Both books had an enormous sale. |
