He was born at Bearsted, Kent, England, was educated at Ox- ford, where he took the master's degree in 1598, and spent six year- in studj and travel on the Continent. Having returned to England, he studied medicine, was admitted to practice in 1006, anil was elected a fellow of the College of Physicians in 1000. While on the Continent he had become interested in scientific experiments and natural philosophy, and maintained a laboratory where he constructed various sorts of odd mechanisms, such as an automatic dragon and a self-playing lyre. Some of his inventions were more useful, and some writers contend that he was the original inventor of the barometer. In 1015 he became interested in the doctrines of the mys- terious fraternity of the Rosicrucians. and wrote in Latin several elaborate vindications and ex- positions of it. He also became a follower of Para- celsus, and attempted to formulate a system of philosophy based on his teachings, and setting forth the identity of physical and spiritual truth. His writings attracted the attention of Kepler, Gassendi, and Mersenne, all of whom considered them of enough importance to demand refutation. Among his published works were: Apologia Com- ix ndiaria, Fraternitatem de Rosea Cruce Abluens (1616) : Tractatus Apologeticus Integritatem So- eietatis de Rosea Cruce defendens (1017) : Trae- tulus Theologophilosophicus, etc. (1017). a trea- tise in three parts, dedicated to the Rosicrucian Fraternity; Veritatis Proscenium (1021), a reply to Kepler; Philosophia Sacra el ~ere Christiana (1629); Sophice cum Maria Certamen, etc. (10211). and Summuui Bom, rum I 1629), both re- plies to Mersenne; Doctor Flu, til's Answer unto M. Foster, or Die Squesing of Parson Foster's Sponge (1631) ; and Philosophia Mosaica (1038; English edition Mosaicall Philosophy, 1658). Consult Waite.
