me to Emanuel College in Cambridge at fourteen years old, where I resided three

thirty pounds a year to maintain me at Leyden: there I studied physic two years and

continued three years and a half, making a voyage or two into the Lesant, and some
other parts. When I came back I resolved to settle in London, to which Mr. Bates,
my master, encouraged me, and by him I was recommended to several patients. I

Newgate-street, with whom I received four hundred pounds for a portion
