Written originally by Jo. Franc. Senault. Besides which translations he hath certain Specimens of Poetry extant, which have obtained him a place among those of that faculty.

Ch. in Oxon. to be the translator of A discourse of Constancy. Lond. 1654. oct. Written in Lat. by Just. Lipsius, but who he was, unless Rob. Gomershall, I know not. Quaere.
