Phillips, John
, the other nephew of Milton, appears to
have been at first a warm adherent to his uncle’s political
opinions, and published “Milton’s Defensio” in answer to
the “Apologia pro rege, &c.” which was falsely ascribed
to bishop Bramhall. His other publications imply some
change of sentiment, particularly his “Satyr against Hypocrites,” published about the time of the restoration, and
reprinted in 1671 and 1680, 4to. These other writings, according to Wood, are, 1. “Montelion; or the prophetic
almanack for the year 1660,” 8vo. 2. “Maronides; or
Virgil Travestie,” a burlesque on the 5th and 6th books of
the Eneid,“1672 and 1673, 8vo, and reprinted together
in 1678. 3.” Duellum Musicum,“printed with Locke’s” Present practice of Musick vindicated.“4.” Mercurius Verax; or the prisoner’s prognostications for the year
1675,“1675, 8vo. 5. A Continuation of Heath’s Chronicle, 1676, folio, a wonderful production from the author
| of” Miltoni Defensio.“6.” Dr. Oates’s Narrative of the
Popish Plot vindicated,“1680, folio. 7.” Character of
a Popish Successor,“the second part, 1681, folio, disowned
by Elkanah Settle, author of the first part. 8.” Speculum Crape-Gownorum; or, an old Looking-glass for the
young academics new foiPd, &c.“9.” Samuel Lord
Bishop of Oxon his celebrated reasons for abrogating the
test, and notion of idolatry, answered by Sam. archdeacon
of Canterbury,“1688, 4to. In Wood we have no account
of his death, but he adds that he was” a man of very loose
principles, atheistical, forsakes his wife and children,
makes no provision for them." He appears, indeed, from
his publications, to have reflected very little credit on his
family. 1
