his other works include: a translation from marcellus palingenius (said to be an anagram for pier angelo manzolli) of a satirical latin poem, "zodiacus vitae" (venice, 1531?), in twelve books, under the title of "the zodyake of life" (1560); "the popish kingdome, or reign of antichrist" (1570), translated from thomas kirchmeyer or naogeorgus; "the spiritual husbandrie" from the same author, printed with the last "foure bookes of husbandrie" (1577), collected by conradus heresbachius; "the overthrow of the gout" (1577), a translation from christopher ballista (christophe arbaleste), and "the proverbes of lopes de mendoza" (1579). "the zodyake of life" was a significant translation, being adopted as a textbook for english grammar schools. as such, its ideas colour many of the works of english writers of the latter part of the sixteenth and the first part of the seventeenth centuries. part of the book's appeal, in addition to its poetical astronomy, was its notoriety as a reformist text: palingenius was placed on the index of prohibited books by the inquisition and consequently enjoyed popularity in protestant regions across europe.
