_MS. Account of Fellows of King's, anno 1616._
"Ralph Winterton of Lutterworth, Leicester, Bro. of Fran., who was
Gent. of the Pr. Chamber to Hen. Maria, and served under D. of
Hamilton in Germ., and was killed at Custrin, on the Borders of
Silesia. See History of that Expedition.
"M.D., Prof. Regi Med., Sept. 13, 1636, at which time all the Reg.
Prof. were of K. C.
"He was a great Physician & Scholar, insomuch that he was a
Candidate to succeed Downes as Greek Prof. He translated Gerhard's
_Sum of Xtian Doctri._, 1640, of which see Dedication. On his Bro.
departing for Germany, he translated _Drescelius on Eternity_, and
on another occasion returned to Gerhard. This was probably on some
difficulty which was started to his Degree of M.D. by Provost
Collins. He is said at one time to have suffered so, as for a time
to have lost his senses. His Books are prefaced by recommendatory
Verses from K. C. men, viz. D. Williamson, 1627; R. Newman, H.
Whiston, and Thomas Page, 1627; Wym Carew, 1622; Tho. Bonham,
1621; Edm. Sheafe, 1613; R. Williams, 1623; T. Yonge, 1624.
"He published _Dionysius de Situ Orbis_, with a Dedication to Sir
H. Wotton, and Hippocrates' _Aphorisms_ in Gr. Verse, 1633. Qu'e,
if the Lat. Verses not written by Fryer, an eminent Physician at
Camb. Qu'e, the _Poetæ Minores_."
