He was responsible (sometimes with Thomas Warren) for the dissemination of a number of important works in the seventeenth century, including Francis Godwin's The Man in the Moone.[3] His London business in Paul's Churchyard[4] was destroyed in the 1666 Great Fire of London.[5]
In 1648, he published The Right Way: a direction for obtaining good success in a weighty enterprise.[6]
He also published books of the theologian André Rivet.[2]
