Lord Ambassador to the Great Mogul, And afterwards Rector of the Church at Greenford, in Middlesex" and author of A Voyage to East-India.[1] His Voyage, an expanded version from a manuscript first published in Purchas his Pilgrimes (1625), was a popular work which was translated into other languages and was included into the Travels of Pietro della Valle.[2]

He was one of the first writers to describe vegetarianism (in India) to Early Modern England.[3]
