James, See also:duke of See also:York, through whose See also:influence he became See also:Recorder of See also:Londonderry about 1681. His Discourse of See also:Monarchy (1684), a See also:tract in favour of the See also:succession of the duke of York, was followed (1685) by a " Pindarique " on his See also:coronation. In 1688 he wrote See also:Jus See also:regium Coronae, a learned See also:defence of James's See also:action in dispensing with the penal statutes. He died in obscurity, due perhaps to his See also:political opinions, in 1696. Wilson was the author of four plays, showing a vigorous and learned wit, and a See also:power of See also:character-See also:drawing that See also:place him rather among the followers of See also:Ben See also:Jonson than with the Restoration dramatists.
The Cheats (written in 1662, printed 1664, 1671, &c.) was played with See also:great success in 1663. John See also:Lacy found one of his best parts in See also:Scruple, a See also:caricature of a Presbyterian See also:minister of accommodating morality. Andronicus Comnenius (1664), a See also:blank See also:verse tragedy, is based on the See also:story of Andronicus See also:Comnenus as told by See also:- PETER

Peter Heylin in his Cosmography. It contains a See also:scene between the usurper and the widow of his victim Alexius which follows very closely See also:Shakespeare's treatment of a parallel situation in See also:Richard III. The Projectors (1665), a See also:prose See also:comedy of London See also:life, is, like See also:Moliere's L'Avare, founded on the Aulularia of See also:Plautus, but there is no See also:evidence that Wilson was acquainted with the See also:French See also:play. Belphegor, or the See also:Marriage of the See also:Devil; a Tragi-comedy (169o), treats of a theme See also:familiar to Elizabethan See also:drama, but Wilson took the subject from the Belphegor attributed to See also:Machiavelli, and alludes also to Straparola's version in the Notii. He also translated into English See also:Erasmus's Encomium Moriae (1668).
