He was a leading figure in an attempt to create a "College of Chemical Physicians", a rival to the established Royal College of Physicians. During the great plague of 1665 he lived in London, and made a special study of the symptoms, even dissecting the body of a plague victim. In 1665 he published "Loimologia: a Consolatory Advice, and some brief Observations concerning the present Pest", in which he reflected on the conduct of those members of the Royal College of Physicians who left the city during the plague.); Universal History Archive/UIG; out of copyright.
