The title-page plate was used with fresh lettering for the title of Giovanni Francesco Biondi's Civil Wars of England (1641), translated by Henry Carey, 2nd Earl of Monmouth.
He wrote the dedication to Charles I of his father's Cyropaedia of Xenophon (1632), and edited after Philemon's death his Latin version of Brice Bauderon's Pharmacopœia in 1639, and his Regimen Sanitatis Salerni in 1649.
