Oxford, in See also:November i65o, but See also:left the university in 1651 to be a bookseller's clerk in London. Although he entirely differed from Milton in his religious and See also:political views, and seems, to See also:judge from the See also:free See also:character of his Mysteries of Love and Eloquence (1658), to have undergone a certain revulsion from his Puritan upbringing, he remained on affectionate terms with his See also:uncle to the end. He was See also:tutor to the son of John See also:Evelyn, the diarist, from 1663 to 1672 at Sayes See also:Court, near See also:Deptford, and in 1677—1679 in the See also:family of See also:- HENRY

Henry Bennet, See also:earl of See also:Arlington. The date of his See also:death is unknown but his last See also:book is dated 1696.
His most important See also:work is Theatrum poetarum (1675), a See also:list of the See also:chief poets of all ages and countries, but principally of the English poets, with See also:short See also:critical notes and a prefatory Discourse of the Poets and See also:Poetry, which has usually been traced to Milton's See also:hand. He also wrote A New See also:World in Words, or a See also:General See also:Dictionary (1658), which went through many See also:editions; a new edition of See also:Baker's See also:Chronicle, of which the See also:section on the See also:period from 165o to 1658 was written by himself from the royalist standpoint; a supplement (1676) to John See also:Speed's See also:Theatre of See also:Great See also:Britain; and in 1684 Enchiridion linguae latinae, said to have been taken chiefly from notes prepared by Milton. See also:Aubrey states that all Milton's papers came into Phillips's hands, and in 1694 he published a See also:translation of his Letters of See also:State with a valuable memoir _
His brother, JOHN PHILLIPS (1631—1706), in 1652 published a Latin reply to the See also:anonymous attack on Milton entitled See also:Pro Rege et populo anglicano. He appears to have acted as unofficial secretary to Milton, but, disappointed of See also:regular political employment, and chafing against the discipline he was under, he published in 16J5 a See also:bitter attack on See also:Puritanism entitled a Satyr against Hypocrites (1655). In 1656 he was summoned before the privy See also:council for his See also:share in a book of licentious poems, Sportive Wit, which was suppressed by the authorities but almost immediately replaced by a similar collection, Wit and Drollery. In Montelion (166o) he ridiculed the astrological almanacs of See also:- WILLIAM

William See also:Lilly. Two other skits of this name, in 1661 and 1662, also full of course royalist wit, were probably by another hand. In 1678 he supported the agitation of See also:Titus See also:Oates, See also:writing on his behalf, says See also:Wood, " many lies and villanies." Dr Oates's Narrative of the Popish See also:Plot indicated was the first of these tracts. He began a monthly See also:historical See also:review in 1688 entitled See also:Modern See also:History or a Monthly See also:Account of all considerable Occurrences, See also:Civil, Ecclesiastical and Military, followed in 1690 by The See also:Present State of See also:Europe, or a Historical and Political See also:Mercury, which was supplemented by a preliminary See also:volume giving a history of events from 1688. He executed many See also:translations from the See also:French, and a version (1687) of See also:Don Quixote.
An extended, but by no means friendly, account of the See also:brothers is given by Wood, Athen. oxon. (ed. See also:Bliss, iv. 764 seq.), where a See also:long list of their See also:works is dealt with. This formed the basis of William See also:Godwin's Lives of Edward and John Phillips (1815), with which is reprinted Edward Phillips's See also:Life of John Milton.
