One of the physicians to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. He died August 6, 1754. His merits were thus celebrated by Dr. Theobald, a contemporary physician:

"O raro merito quem juncta scientia dudum Illustrem sacris medico stellam addidit orbi Auspiciis, pura nunquam non luce corusce! Utcunque incolumem virtutum aversa tueri Gens humana solet, non ni post fata corona Donandam merita, potitus melioribus astris, Invidia major, tu præsens alter haberis Hippocrates, pleno jam nunc cumulatus honore. Te seu, corporea tandem compage soluta, Accipiet, doctis clarescentem artibus, alta Coi sphæra senis; seu tu venerabilis aureo Romani Celsi rite effulgebis in orbe; O sit adhuc tarda illa dies, sit tarda, precamur, Illa dies, nostris et multum ferior annis, Cum tua mens, membris seducta fluentibus, almas Advolet, angelicis immixta cohortibus, arces! Hic potius Musas, thematis dulcedine captas, Delecta, atque audi laudes vel Apolline dignas."
