He was inactive in the Royal Society after his election. |

Notes:
BR quoting Hirsch gives year of birth as 1644; Hunter and index to BR give 1646. DNB has both although the Kiel Directory of Scholars has 20 December 1646 as date of birth. Swedish Biographical Encyclopaedia has 1640 as approximate year of birth. |
