    Friend and royal physician.
    He took his M.D. at Oxford in 1652 and in 1660 (after sailing in the Naseby with Pepyse to bring home the King) was made physician to the royal household, becoming physician-in-ordinary to the King’s person in 1667. He was an original F.R.S. and in 1662-4 served on the Council of the Society. In the war he was employed by the Commissioners for Sick and Wounded. A man of wide culture, he was fond of the theatre, and wrote a play. His wife Frances was alive at his death in 1672. Her wit and good looks, Pepys found, did not compensate for her conceit and her sluttish housekeeping. Besides, she painted her face.
