William Bullein

In the same grave were buried his brother Richard, another cleric and medical writer, and John Foxe.

[5][6] The treatise is dedicated, from London, to Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon, and was written in prison.

Bullein aimed to prescribe remedies against the sweating-sickness, imported from Le Havre in 1564, but to encourage his countrymen in their affliction.

The Dialogue consists of a number of separate scenes: the second is between a rich usurer, Antonius, and Medicus, who in the 1564 edition is styled Antonius Capistrinus, but who in later editions bears the name Dr. Tocrub, probably intended for Dr. Burcot (Burchard Kranich), who is satirised in succeeding dialogues.

[2] Bullein married Sir Thomas Hilton's widow Agnes or Anne, and was in London with her in 1561.

William Hilton, brother of Sir Thomas, accused Bullein of causing his death.
